OFFERS TO SELL AGUINALD0.
Gen. Otis Receives a Message from
Gen. Pho DEL Pillar,

A dispatch from Gen. Otis has re-
ceived messages purporting to cone
from the insurgent General Plo del
Pillar, Offering to sell out his army and
to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands Of
the Americans. Although he is not
satisfied tnat this offer is authentic it
is not improbable. The policy of Gen.
Otis is firmly set against buying any
surrenders: Pho del Pillar offers forthe
sum OF so, 900 to refrain from attacking
Manila with his army; for the sum Of
$3.50, 600 to surrender his army after a
sham battle, both sides firing into the
air, and for the sum Of $500, 600 he
says he will procure the overthrow OF
the insurrection and the capture Of
Aguinaldo, Paterno aud other leaders.
In the course of the communication he
refers to Aguinaldo in con:emptuous
terms, indicating that strained relations
exist between them. Reports are be-
ing received from the districts occupied
by the enemy that the Filipinos believe
that Pic del Pillar has an audaclous
plan to break through the American
lines into Manila and seize Gen. Otis
and the archbishop. Possibly these
ruuors were started with an idea Of
helping him to make a deal with the
Americans. Il is unnecessary to say
tba, the Americans would welcome an
attack of that sort. There has been
much speculation Of late regarding the
whereabouts of Pic del Pillar The re-
cent attack at La Iona is credited to
his men. It is belired that he is now
in the vicinity of Sau Mateo valley with
a force of from 500 to 5000 men.

Must be Stamped.

The attention of the internal revenue
bureau having been called to the method
adopted by transfer companies IN the
various cities of giving at residence
or hotel receipt for a trunk which
calls for the delivery Of such trunk at
some hotel or house in another city, 1t
is held that such receipts or bills OF
lading are clearly liable to the stamp
tax under schedule of the act OF June
13, 1898. Internal revenue officers
therefore are directed to investigate
transfer companies in their respective
districts with view Of determining
whether they are issuing such receipts,
and if so whether they are fully COM
plying with the law regarding the
stamping Of such receipts.

cent sights ever witnessed. Tie firing
of the Beers was not so deadly as might
have been expected fro1 troops occu
pying such an excellent position; but
the infantry lost heavily going up the
hill, and only the cnnsummately bril-
liant way in which Gen. Symons had
trained them to fighting Of this kind
saved them from being swept away. In
deed the hill was almost inaccessible to
the stormipg party, aud any hesitation
would have lost the day. The enemy $
guns, so far as the correspondent could
see, were all abandoned. for the Beers
had no time to remove them. \ stream
of fugitives poured down the hillside
into the valley, where the battle went
on with no abatement.

The Boers as they fed We're followed

artillery. The direction taken was to

the cavalry had not returned. Some
say that four and some say i've guns

were used. Although the euemys po-

the Leicester regiment, got on the
enemy's flank and as the Beers stream
ed wildly down the hills, making for
the main road, they found their retreat
had been cut of, out they rallied Tor a
while. and there was severe firing, with
considerable loss to each side. Many
of the enemy surrendered. \ rough
estimate places the British loss at 2o0
killed or wounded, and that of the
Beers at 500. 4 newspaper correspon-
dent states that through his glasses,
during the lighting he noticed ho"
much the Beers seemed 0 be n 'nplu<-

especially of the well drilled, swift

as Of old, mob. They are without
horses and forage and many Of them
rely for food on what they can obtain
by looting. Their animals are mostly
in a wrctche6 condition.

A Swan Of Wasps.

A Swarm Of wasp5 suddenly appeared
aboard the train for New York from
New Haven the other day, and at Stam-
ford it was found necessary to detach
two cars that we're fairly alive with the
insects and substitute new ones. The
passengers were driven from one coach
to another, until finally everybody who
could crowd in was aboard the smoker.
All the passengers got off the train as
rapidly as they knew how when 1t came
to standstill. One of the passengers
said there seemed to be thousands OF
Wasps in the train, and that several
persons had been stung.
