may .conform.to the circumstances, the
large salon opening into the conserva-
tory has been transformed into verits
able Gothic chapel in which lighted
candles and lilies of the valley will be
used freely in the decorations.
The conservatory at the end of the
room will be the chancel and in this
has been placed the altar, which will
blaze during the ceremony with a
myriad of lighted candles placed in the
midst of mass of Easter blossoms.
The ceremony will be performed
promptly at noon.

and every person who is to figure in the
great affair tomorrow was present.

the knife into his stomach.
A terrific struggle then ensued and
despite the fact that his life blood was
quickly ebbing, Brown continued to
him a stab for every blow. The fifth

They Want To Come Back
To The Ruins Of
Their Homes.
THE NSURGGNT ARMY
Is Discouraged And Scattered
And Their Government
Is Ina PeriIous Con-
ditiOn.

WASHINGTON. April 3.-The fol
lowing from General Otis was received
at the war department at 1 O'Clock
this morning indicating that it was
filed at noon today:
MANILA, April 3.-Adjutant g. Gen.
eral, Washington. The present in
dications denote that the insurgent
government is in perilous condition,
its army defeated, discouraged and
scattered.
The insurgents are returning to their
homes in cities and villages between
here and points north of Malolos which
our reconnoitesing parties have reached
and they desire the protection of the
Americans. The news from the Visa
van islands are more encouraging every
day. OTIS"
MANILA, April 3.-Many natives are
returning to their homes under flags of
truce and seeking the protection OF the
Americans. General Macarthur has
granted them this privilege but
close watch is being kept on refugees
for possible treachery. The return OF
the natives it is believed means that /
Aguinaldo is losing control OF them
and that the back kbone of the rebellion
Is broken.
Aguinaldos stores of Filipino victo-
ries over the Americans have proved
to be false that even some of his strong
est supporters lost confid ence in him.
When it becomes generally known
among the Filipinos that the stories
told by rebel leaders about murders
and outrages by the Americans are
without any foundation, many of the
men now in arms will desert Aguinal-
dos cause and come .over to the Amer
lean lines.
