general, Pho del Pillar. Offering to sell
out his army and to deliver Aguinal do
into the hands of the Americans. AL.
though he is not satisfied that this of.
fer is authentic. it is not intrinsically
improbable. The policy of General
Otis is firmly set against buying any
surrenders.
Pho del Pillar offers. for the sum Of
CSC, 900, to refrain from attacking Ma
nila with his army; for tho sum Of
$3.50, 900 he offers to surrender his army
after sham battle, both sides firing
into the air, and for the sum of $500, 900
he says he will procure the overthrow
of the insurrection and the capture of
Aguinaldo, Paterno and the other lead.
ers. In the course Of the communica-
tion he refers to Aguinaldo in con-
temptuous terms, indicating that
strained relations exist between them.
Reports are being received from the
districts occupied by the enemy, that
the Filipinos believe that Pho del Pillar
has an audacious plan to break through
the American lines into Manila and
seize Gen eral Otis and the archbishop.
Possibly these rumors were started with
an idea of helping him to make deal
with the Americans.
1t is needless to say that the Ameri.
cans would welcome an attack of that
sort. There has been much speculation
of late regarding the whereabouts of
Pho del Pillar. The recent attack at La
Iona is credited to his men. It is be-
lieved that he is now in the vicinity of
San Mateo valley. with force of from
1900 to 5000 men.
