1 j. H. Clausen, the professional jumper
and all-round athlete, has prepared
statistics showing the relative abilities of
am; cur and professional contestants in
track and field events by their records.
Clausen is great admirer of Billy Marsh
and selects him as one of the best ex-
amples of an all-round athlete in the
world. According to him, Marsh can
equal any of his marks at short notice.
The training of amateur athletes does
not allow of fast work when men are
out of condition. but professionals of
Marsh $ calibre are never out of condi-
ton. although they are sometimes sup
posed TO be. In Clausen's comparison of

THEY WANT TO QUIT.
EnlplnO ENJOYS Return 10 Manila 10 Re-
new Peace Proposals

Washington. May THE follow
ing cablegram has been received from
Manila:
Major General Arguelezes and Lieu
tenant Jose Bernal of the STAFF Of Gen.
eral Luna returned here today to re-
new and press the request Of General
Luna for a cessation of hostilities.
They have found the field of labor q
most uncongeniAl one. The two Off
GERS were received in conference with
Major General Otis.
The proposals which they had to
submit differed but slightly from those
which they brought from the Filipino
commander in the first place. They
desired little time in which to sum-
mon congress, and express themselves
IS being confident that congress will
decree peace because their people de.
sire it.
They represent that Aguinaldo is
without power to surrender the army,
and that the congress must decide that
question. Incidentally the Filipino
ENJOYS asserted that Aguinaldo had
not yet made fair test of his strength
against the American forces, because
only one-third of the army had been
assembled together.
The ENJOYS presented letter from
Senior Mabini, president and minister
of foreign affairs in the cabinet of
and who is the back bone
of the Filipino organization. The
communication is personal and unoffi-
cial and seconds Major Arguelezes ar

adoption of Tactics Used In Fighting In
diansin the United states Saves Gen.
eral Lawton's Forces From
Great Loss.

Washington, May detailed re-
ports of the work of Major-General
Lawton's expedition show that hard
err fighting took place during the early
part of the week than earlier accounts
indicated. In the attack on San Ra-
fael the American forces were met
with heavy fire from large number
of rebels who were concealed in the
/ jungles on all sides. 1t was only In
the adopting of tactics followed in In
dian fighting in the United States, ev-
cry man for himself, that saved the
division from great loss. General
Lawton, as usual, was at the head of
his staff. SCOTS battery demolished
stone-fronted trench at short range.
The insurgent leaders, Gregorio and
Pic del Pillar who had 500 men in Bali
nag, retreated when General Lawton
appeared at the town. Chief OF Scouts
Young, with eleven men, entered Bal
mag ahead Of the army aud rang the
church bells TO announce that they
had possession of the city.
General Lawton, when attacking in
force outside OF Balinag, saw women
and children in the rebel trenches and
sent Captain Case in advance with
white flag to warn the insurgents to
remove the non-combatants. When
within 500 yards of the trench two
volleys were fred at Captain Cases
party.
Chief of Scouts Young whose bra
very at Balinag was most notable,
served as an Indian Scout under Ma
jor General 0. 0. Howard in his cam
paign in the Northwest in 1876. The
work of Young's scouts was feature
of the expedition On Wednesday, the
3rd, the men encountered some Fill
pinos beyond Balinag and drove them
unti$ their $50 rounds of ammunition
had been reduced to fifteen. They
were about to retire when Lieutenant
Boyd with troop of the Fourth cav
airy came up with them and chased
the enemy into San Miguel.
There are 1000 Spanish prisoners In
the hands of the Filipinos at San Mi
guel. They are served with 5 cents
worth of rice daily and are compelled
to work hard on the rebel defenses.
Several hundred of the Filipino
wounded are at San Miguel

women and children to the Bianaona-
bate mountains.

AGUINALDO'S SCHEME
FILIPINO ENJOYS TO OTIS DO
NOT COME FROM LUNA.
General Otis Refuses to Recognize the So
Called Government of the Insurgents
-PilIpin0s Want n Three Months
Truce to Recruit In.

Washington, May 5.-General Otis
has spprised the government of the
results of the conference which oc-
CURED between himself and the al
legged representatives of General Luna,
on May 3. The ENJOYS bore a propo-
sal for cessation of hostilities, but
General Otis adhered TO his refusal to
recognize the so-called government of
the insurgents.
The Filipinos now ask for truce of
three months in order, they allege, to
enable Aguinaldo to summon the con-
gress and to consult with the leaders
on other islands. II is presumed his
real motives are to rest and recruit
his disheartened army, and to procure
war munitions. The ENJOYS admitted
the contention of General Otis that
Aguinaldo has little control over af-
fairs outside the island of Luzon.
On the question of release of Span
ish prisoners in the hands of the Fill
pinos, Major Manuel Arguelezes, the
chief member of the deputation, said
that he considered them as being in
the same category with the Americans,
the United States being the successor
OF Spain in dominion over the island
and acquiring by treaty all Spanish
rights and obligations.
The Filipino ENJOYS, Major Manuel
Arguelezes and Lieutenant Jose Ber-
nal, have abandoned the pretense I'M
der which they came to General Otis,
that they represented General Antonio
Luna, and today they announce that
they came as representatives of Agui-
naldo himself.
The two emissaries used all their
wiles to secure reply from General
Otis to the letter from Senior Mobini,
Aguinaldo's prime minister and minis
ter of foreign affairs in the dictator's
cabinet, which they presented to GEN
eral Otis, but General Otis refused to
make any reply, on the ground that to
do so would be equivalent to recogni-
ton of the so-called government of the

From Now On Aggressive Tactics VIII be
Pursued In the Philippines.
Washington, May 6.-The war de-
partment is satisfied from the dis.
patches received from General Otis
that the American commander has put
aside the insurgent temporizing and
has turned his attention to most ap-
gressive tactics. The wisdom of this
course was fully approved by officials
here. who have foreseen that the reb
els needed further chastisement In or
der to bring them to a realization of
their position.
General Lawtons movement north
ward to Maasin is designed to keep a
body of American troops to the north
OF the rebels and between them and
their line of retreat in the mountains.
A successful execution of this move
ment will leave the insurgents well
surrounded to the north, though there
Is stretch of about seven miles to
the Rio Grande river, along which the
rebels are retiring. If the rebels do
succeed in getting into the mountains.
war department officials believe they
cannot continue organized resistance,
as the mountain localities furnish
much less opportunity for sustenance
than the rice lands along the foothills
and bottoms. The authorities here
are all satisfied with the manner in
which our forces are placed.

diers, But There Has Been no Collision.
Wardner, Idaho, May 4.-The first
detachment of regulars have arrived
from Spokane, and were met at the
depot by a crowd of business men and
citizens, who gave them a cordial
greeting. 1t is hoped 500 regulars will
be here by tomorrow night.
Shortly after the arrival of company
M, Twenty-fourth infantry, Captain
Bachelor, commanding, a report was
spread among the inhabitants of the
place that the union miners from Can
yon creek has started down to Ward
ner for the purpose of wiping out the
company of regular troops before rein
forcements could arrive. Sixty nom
union men armed with rifles immedi-
ately rushed down the road from
Wardner to the railroad station one
and half miles, for the purpose of
stopping the union men.
The report proved unfounded and
was probably occasioned by the sus-
pension of telegraphic communication
between Wardner and Wallace.
Sixty-five men have been dispatched
from Helena for this place, 100 are
coming from Fort Russell, while 100
picked soldiers from Fort Douglas,
veterans of San Juan, are on their way,
and the citizens are beginning to feel
easy.
