ARMISTICE NOT
AGREED TO
Threatened Attack of Iloilo. by Rebels
Failed to Come Movement of
KOppe's Expedition.
Major-General

MANILA, May 20. = Major-General
Otis has declined to recognize the rebels
to the extent of agreeing to an armistice,
but he has notified the American COM
manders to refrain temporarily from ag-
gressive action. Thus he is in posi-
tion to resume hostilitIes at any time.
This will defeat any subtertuges to gain
time which would not be the case if the
general agreed to an armistice.
The Filipinos are so deceptive that the
people hesitate to credit with good faith
their latest overtures. But more atten-
tion is now paid to them than to their
previous advances. The Filipino COM
mittee is under instruction from Aguin-
aldo and the congress, but it is possible
that if peace be agreed to, General Luna
and Pillar will continue guerrilla
warfare.
Senor Gonzaga carries instructions
from Aguinaldo, which, he states, If ac-
ceded to by General Otis, empower them
to conclude peace. Otherwise they
must return to their capital at Tarlac
for further conference. They will, it
is said, ask for autonomy. The mem
bers of the present commission say that
the first commission was never recog-
nized by Aguinaldo, but was elected by
the Filipino congress, which declared
for peace on May 6. The Filipino mill
tary power controls the situation, not
the congress.
Tne Filipino commissioners called
ON Major General Otis this afternoon
and arranged to meet the mem bers OF
the American commission Monday, when
they expect their colleagues will have
areived. Tie chairman and the secre-
tary of their commission have been
chosen.

breaking up in placee. 1t is now almost
impossible to cross over. Several men
tried crossing Monday, before sunrise,
but the ice had not frozen during the
night, and they barely escaped with
their lives. From the summit of
Bennett all the smaller lakes are getting
soft, but without heavy pack they can
be crossed. The police at Atlin have is
sued a similar order for Atlin lakes.
Both the Bennett and Attn lakes are ex-

WERE RECOVERED.
The Pearl Fishery Coast of North
Queensland Visited by Hurricane
That Destroyed Everything in its
Path.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 20.-Shortly be-
fore the just arrived steamer Miowera
left Sydney for this port, the cutter Mys-
terry returned to Cookstown from the
scene of the recent disaster by hurricane
on the North Queenstown coast, by
which practically every vessel engaged
in the pearl fishery was wrecked, and
much property lost afloat and ashore.
The sights that met the eyes of the relief
expedition along the desolate coast were
horrifying beyond description. In one
place, where picturesque fishing village
with a population of 300 had stood,
neither house nor tree nor living thing
was left. The site of the little settlement
looked like newly plowed land, and the
survivors among the fishing folk had
fed for safety to an inland town twelve
milds distant.
There and further along the coast
mangled bodies of men and domestic
animals were found. Several were se-
cured with some Difficulty, wedged in the
branches of trees that had defed the
storm, whittier they had been blown
from distances as great as quarter of a
mile. The Mystery's officers and crew
recovered IN all ffty-eight bodies, of
which eighteen were identified and
claimed by mourning relatives. OF the
remaining forty, thirty-six were natives,
whose remains were given respectable
burial in one great trench. An official
report says that eighty-six vessels were
wrecked and that 385 persons lost their
lives.

Tall Tales From Kansas.

Several stories which the reader can OR
cannot believe, just as he sees fit, were
started after the Seneca tornado two year,
ago had violated the state law in reference
to the malicious destruction of property
and departed for parts unknown. Prob
ably the best one was this: A man wa,
riding along on horseback with a jug Of
whisky tied with strap to the saddle-horn.
After the blow had ceased, the highlands
was found inside the jug and the strap was
sticking out of the nozzle, the jug having
been blown inside out without spilling !
drop of liquor.
Probably the story which better illus.
trates the position of the Populist farmer
in Kansas than any told in recent years i,
this:

sir, Kansas is the country for the farmers.

The war investigation committee, which

that there is considerable to be said on the
conduct of the war.
The commission has examined 495 wit
nesses, including the secretary of war, the
comman ding general, heads of depart
ments, officers, prIvates, nurses and per-
sons from nearly every walk of life. The
testimony has been taken in different parts
of the country and no evidence, the COM
mission affirms, has been brought before it
that one dollar has been di,hon silly re-

department. The commission recommends

qualifications of all officers appointed to

More Mills for the International.

An exchange says: "The international
paper company is evidently trying to in
crease its possessions by getting into its
hands the Wilder paper mills of Ashland and
the Olcott paper and pulp mills at Olcott, Vt.
The Ashland paper mills are five miles south
of Plymouth, N. H., and are owned by
Wilder & Co. of Boston. There
are three mills, with capacity of 10
tons of tissue and white lining paper per day.
The Olcott Falls company is a corporation
and owned by the Wilder heirs. The capac-
ity of these mills is so tons of paper per day,
and they have two large pulp mills, which
turn out so tons of pulp per day. The colt
company also owns 10000 acres of spruce
timber land near st. Johnsbury, which is I'M
