ONLY DESIRES HONORABLE TERMS

New York, May 1S.-The New York
Herald's Manila correspondent says:
The insurgent general, Grcgorio del
Pillar, believes that he has been DESERT
ed by the Filipino government and de-
what he regards as honorable terms
from the Americans.
1t is now said that Aguinaldo has
fled into the province of Nueva Ecia.
On April 20 he retreated by carriage
from Balinag through San lsidlor, and
nothing has been heard from him in
the two weeks since.
The 5000 Spanish prisoners who are
reported to be held by the insurgents
have been carried into northern prov
ince and scattered among small garri-
sons. They are beyond American sue
cor this season unless a Filipino sur
render takes place within three weeks.
The insurgent hospital near San Isl
dor is reported to be overwhelmed with
wounded. General Pillars main sub
sistence depot is five miles in front of
Lawton.
The Indignation of the natives has
compelled the insurgent generals to
countermand their orders to burn the
towns as they reiterated. The Ameri-
can policy of not destroying property
is creating a revulsion of feeling i'm our
favor.
Five American prisoners We're car
ried through this town last week.
Their names are unknown.

American lines to their own homes.

commander of the Spanish troops still

evacuation of Zamboanga and Jolo.
The steamer Leon NIII. has started
with American troops, who will oc-
cupy Jolo, sending off the Spanish
troops with honors to the Spanish flag.
The Leon XIII. will then proceed to
Zamboanga and with the steamers
Pucto Rico and Uranus, will take off
General Rios and the Spanish troops
there. The Americans will not occupy
Zamboanga.

Croker, on the subject of the selection

so long sought for ON the banks of the

The body WAS found at an early
hour yesterday morning by Andrew

badly decomposed its identify was
only discovered by the clothing on the

Mooers. mother of Helen Stayner.
and Miss Maud lluerson, came to this
city The visiting party identified the
body as that of Mrs. Stayncr. The
body was shipped to Chicago last even
ing for interment.
Mrs. Helen Mooers Stayncr was the
wife of DIR. William III. Stayner, and
she disappeared from her home in Mil
wankee on the night of October 10,
ISIS. AS Mrs. Stayner was accom-
plishcd and beautiful. and one of the

strange disappearance caused a sensa-
ton. and the relatives of the missing
woman. refusing to believe she was
dead. have made every effort to find

The theory that the woman commit
ted suicide seems to have been the true
one, for when the body was found a

story of her death.
On the evening she left Milwaukee
she started for Chicago on the Hurson
steamer. and it is thought that she
laaped from the boat and was
