RETURN TO INsURGENT LINES
Expected in Manila Again Soon
With Fresh Proposals
From Luna.
ADMIT THEY ARE WHIPPED
General Otis Explains His Terms,
Promising Full Amnesty to All
81 ilipinos Undoubtedly
Tired Of War.

Washington, May 1.-General Otis
e4,'.,ss 20 follows:
'lhc conference with insurgent rep
besentatives terminated this morning.
Their request was for Il cessation OF
hostilities for three weeks 10 enable
them 10 call their congress TO decide
whether TO continue the prosecution OF
the var or propose terms of peace. The
proposition was declined. Full amnes-
" was promised on surrender. Be
lieve the insurgents are tired OF war,
but seek 10 secure terms Of peace
through what they dcnominate their
representatives in congress"
Pleased with Otis Action.
War department officials are very
much gratificd with the reply of Otis
TO the Filipino delegation. 1t is con
sidered as COMFORTING with the Dig
nifty Of the United States, as it would
not be possible for the United States
to recognize the existence Of the Fill
pino congress or Filipino government.
II is believed that when Otis reply is
communicated to the Filipino com
mandcrs they will ask another con-
ference with the expectation Of ar
ranging favorable terms of peace.
Meanwhile, if the Filipino generals un-
duly protract the negotiations, whole
sale desertions of their men are looked
for.
General Lawton is expected to con-
tinue his movement toward joining his
forces with Macarthur, according to
the original program, as soon as his
soldiers have recovered from the strain
of their march through the jungle.
This junction will probably be effect
ed by Tuesday next at the latest. If
by that day the insurgents have not
laid down their arms the American
forces will resume their campaign and
press forward along the line Of rail
road northward even az far as San Fer
nando, the latest capital of the insur-
gents.

Joe Kirby Rcndmittcd.


Pierre, S. D., May 2.-Joe Kirby, the
Sioux Falls attorney who was dis
barred about IA year ago on the ground
that he had been convicted of a felony
by the United States circuit court,
came into the supreme court Satur-
day and pctitioncd for his reinstate-
mcnt on the grounds that the United
States court Of appeals had reversed
the finding Of the lower court.
After a consideration of the case the
court granted the petition and Kirby
was readmitted on taking the oath of
an attorney. Judge Fuller dissented
ON the ground that Kirby should take
a new examination and that he vas
not satisfied rs to the good moral char
actcr of the applicant.
After taking the oath Kirby declared
that he had learned forbearancc by the

Big Mining Deal.
Lead, S. d., May 2.-One of the larg.
est mining deals eve put through in
the Black Hills has finally been per-
fected after over two years of work on
the part of II. c. Barnard, a mining
man of this city. The deal embraces
over 100 mining claims, located be-
tween Lead and Kirk, through which
it is supposed the great Homestake
ore body extends. The ground lies to
the south and joins onto the Home
stake possessions. 1t is believed that
the Homcstake ledge will be found UNI
der the surface from 500 to 700 feet, as
large as in the present workings of the
Homestake mines. The company be-
hind the deal is represented by some
of the best mining men of the east and
west with practically unlimited CAPT.
tai. One hundred men were put at
work grading for n shaft house about
half waybe tween this city and Kirk,
and a big double compartment shaft
will be sunk as rapidly as possible to
the ore contact.
