umpit MacArthur's division crossed the
Rio Grande in the face of great obstacles,
driving the concentrated foices of the
enemy back of the railroad two miles.
Macarthur reports that the passage of
the river is remarkable military
achievement, the success of which is due
to the daring skill and determination of
Colonel Funston under the discriminating
control of General Wheaton. The casual
ties were slight, the number not being yet
ascertained.
'This morning the chief of staff from
the commanding general Of the insurgent
forces entered our lines to express admir-

HE PRESENTS A PROPOSITION.
Gen. Otis Does not Accept it-Rebels
Wanted Their Congress Recognized
The Gilmore Party-Yorktowns Crew
in Gen. Luna's Hands.

Manila, May 2.-Colonel Manuel Ar
,guelezes and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, of
the staff of General Antonio Luna, re-
turned here today 70 renew and press the
request of General Luna for a concession
of hostilities. They have found the field
of labor most uncongenial one.
The two officers were received in con-
ference with Major General Otis. The
proposals which they had to submit diff
fered but slightly from those which they
brought from the Filipino commander IN
the first place. They desired little time
an which to summon the Filipino congre S
and expressed themselves as being conf
dent that the congress will decree peace
because the people desire it. They repre-
sent that Aguinaldo is without power to
surrender the army and that congress
must decide that question.
Incidentally the Filipino ENJOYS as
serted that Aguinaldo had not yet made
a fair test of his strength against the
American forces because but one third OF
yhis army had been assembled together.

ing the insurgents the much needed OPP
portunity to reorganize their demoralized
forces. The truth is, that the dissension
among the leaders of the rebels is helping
on the disorganization of the Filipino
army almost as much as the American
campaign.
In the course of the conference with
the Filipino ENJOYS General Otis agreed
with the statement of Colonel Argueleze;
that the people OF the Philippines wanted
peace, and he added that requests for pro
lection are pouring upon him from al
parts of the country.
Aguinaldo has made overtures for peace
Colonel Arguelezes, of the ENJOYS sen
to the American lines, having presented
a proposition which came directly from
Aguinaldo.
This proposition was the same as tina
heretofore made, namely, aimnstice unit
the Filipino congress meets and decide
whether the Filipino army should sur
Tender.
General Otis declined, and told Colone
Arguelezes it was useless for the Filipino
to return unless they came prepared T.
saccede to the American demands.
