Mai. Knobbe's Expedition Up the Rio
Grande-Dewey Sails for Home.
Manila, May 20.-The insurgent
commissioners arrived at Manila this
morning and had a long interview with
Otis, which was decidedly unsatisfac-
tory, the commission having nothing
definite to propose, being unimpow-
cred to negotiate terms. They brought
n communication direct from Aguin-
aldo asking an armistice pending the
decision of the Filipino congress
as to what policy would be adopted.
As before, Otis refused to entertain
the proposition. The commissioners
afterward were allowed to visit the
vessels of the fleet, and were also
granted permission to see their fami-
lies before returning.
Maj. Kobbe's expedition up the Rio
Grande met no resistance except on
the outskirts of of San Louis, where
several hundred Filipinos were en-
trenched. The rebels retreated be-
yond Candaba and the gunboats
steamed ahead, dropping shells along
the banks wherever uniforms ap-
peared. Capt. Grant, in command of
the gunboats, landed at Candaba be-
fore the arrival of the troops, and re-
ceived Porto Rican' welcome. The
men landed from the Laguna de Bay
to guard the town, and messengers
were sent to all the people in the
swamp to return.
The Nebraska regiment numbering
800 weatherbeaten veterans started
from San Fernando today for a 30
days rest in Manila.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 22.-The famous

Cunningham. receiver. has finally been
compromised after having been fought
over in the courts for several years, the
case ow pending in the supreme court Of
the United States. The settlement is made
upon a proposition submitted by the re
ceiver and his bondsmen, S. L. overstreet,
W S. Spencer, W. II. Coyle and John F.
Stone, to pay over to the plaintiff corpo-
ration $3.50 in full OF all accounts, and
the receiver ard his bondsmen to be re-
leased from all further liability in the
premises, the plaintiff agreeing on its part
to return 8, 200 in warrants of the city of
Guthrie TO the receiver. The receiver is
also to withdraw his appeal TO the su
preme court of the United States and pay
all costs made to date. The basis Of the
settlement Is the complete acceptance of
the proposition made by Receiver Cum
bingham. The inception Of the suit was
the disallowance of the accounts of the
receiver by the judge Of the district court,
who refused to allow number of bills
that had been admitted by his predecessor
IN Office. The case was taken to the su-
preme court of the territory and then to
the supreme court OF the United States.
Judge Burford has made an order ratify-
ing the agreement and the famous case Is
FULLY closed.

Morley suspected Davis OF being too In

Ing the parties who captured Leighton.
They were not officers and were entirely
without legal authority; but there being
no officers present they took 1t upon them
selves to capture and deliver the escap.

inflicted injuries from which he will prob
ably die. Technically, they were without
authority, and were overstepplng the law,
but in the minds Of the people generally.
backed by popular sentiment, they were
clothed with all the authority necessary.
Crow, the man who was stabbed, is still
alive, but in a precarious condition.
