Fiiipinos to be Fought Until They Accept
Americas Conditions.
At meeting OF the cabinet Wednes-
day, President Mckinley outlined his
plans as to the campaign In the Philip
pines. They are as follows:

prosecuted as vigorously as possible
even while the rainy season Is at It's
height. in order that the insurgents may
not have time to recuperate or to or
ganize In force In any one place.
Second-That the whole peace pro-
posalB to be considered In the future
are propositions of unconditional sur
render. Parleying with peace commits
sioners sent by Aguinaldo will not be
permitted. Unless the commissioners
are authorized to accept the American
terms they are not to be allowed with
In the American lines.
Third-That the peace commission IL
to close up Its negotiations and return
to the United States, leaving to Gen.
Otis the management Of the war
