Believed Promises of Peace and
Freedom Will Outweigh
Aguinaldo.
If Fighting Is Prolonged Many
Will Desert---The Dispatch
From Otis. X

w ASHlNGION, May line war de-
partment officials are very much graft
fed with the tone of thu reply of Gen
eral Otis to the Filipino delegation. 1t
is considered as COMFORTING with the
dignity of the United States. 1t would
not be possible for the United States to
recognize the existence Of the Filipino
congress or Filipino government. 1t
is believed that when General Otis
reply is communicated to the Filipino
commanders that they will ask another
conference with the expectation of ar
ranging favorable terms of peace. 1t is
said at the war department that it is
not likely that any further concessions
than that of general amnesty will be
made. Peace and freedom, it is be-
lieved, will appeal more strongly to the
Filipino army than any argument Ag-
uinaldo and his officers may make.
Meanwhile it is the belief of the Off
Gals of the war department that if the
Filipino officials unduly protract the
negotiations, wholesale assertions of
their men will occur. General Law
ton is expected to continue his move
ment toward joining forces with Mac
Arthur according to the original pro-
gram, as soon as his soldiers have re-
covered from the strain of their forced
march through the jungle, and this
junction probably will be effected
by Tuesday. If by that day the
insurgents have not laid down their
arms, the American forces at the front
will be strong enough to resume the
campaign with great vigor, and to press
forward along the line of the railroad
northward even as far as San Fernan-
do, the latest capital of the insurgents.
Everybody is praising the volunteers,
a marked change in the sentiment ex-
pressed few days ago when it was un-
derstood that the same men We're plead
ing to be brought home. Colonel Fun
ston came in for the most commenda-
ton, even the regular officers taking
note with admiration of the fact that
his achievements were all strictly
within the line of plans laid down for
Hill ny Ills Supcllol OiA1OCI, oCAClesl
Wheaton.
Vi Medals for All Volunteers.
General Corbin said that every vol
unteer who participated in the fighting
in the Philippines since peace was de-
clared should have medal of honor.
By the terms of their enlistments they
were entitled to withdraw from the
service, but they had remained volun-
tarily, performing more than was re-
quired of them, which was more than
the ordinary duty of soldier. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be further nego-
tiations with the insurgent representa-
tives at once. While the hope is ex-
pressed that our commission will not
hold out terms so severe as to lead to a
renewal of the fighting or the with
drawal of the insurgents to another
stronghold further north, it is realized
that General Otis must exercise care to
make sure they do not, in bad faith,
take advantage Of the opportunity af-
forded by suspension of hostilities to
secure whatever of benefit to themselves
may come from the rapidly approaching
rainy season. a

A REINCARNATED DOG. .
He Hadn't Lost Hfs Human Traits In
the Process.

b ~, 4
''You can't tell me there is nothing
in the theory Of reincarnation, re-.
marked travelling man, ssfor 1 know
there is. I was down in Florida recent
~, and in st. Augustine I saw snob
dog-an out and out snob. His name is
Towser, and he is just common yell
low dog, lives in the street and belongs
to no one.
In the summer, when no wealthy
northern people are in the town, he
plays with all the middle class children
and dogs and will greet patronizingly
the middle class men and women who
know him. But in the winter, as soon
as the season begins, he attaches him
self to some rich New York family,
loafs in their yard, tags their footsteps
or carriages all about the city, attends
them to church and home again and
so far as he is able makes himself one
of them. For his meals he has been
forced to resort to the back yards of
plain, good woman, who pities him and
feeds him regularly. He is friendly
with her at his eating hours, but never
SO far forgets himself as to wag his tail
at her on the street or when he is with
more pretentious people
''When society functions take place in
st. Augustine, there is Towser. Golf
matches, afternoon teas, picnics or boat
ing parties. all are attended by him
with most conventional regularity. He
never greets any ordinary acquaintance
when thus socially engaged and has
even been known not to eat for several
days when fashionable wedding was
on his mind. With the swell dogs of
St. Augustine Towser never has any
rows, having, no doubt, studied the
polite art of being agreeable, but with
commoner cuts he is irritable and de-
fensive. That dog has been human in
his time, and I'd give penny to know
who he was. "-Indianapolis Journal

CABLED BY OTIS.

WASHINGTON, May a.1.-General Otis
has cabled the war department that his
conference with the Filipinos has ter
minated. He said that they wanted
three weeks in which to allow their
congress to decide whether hostilities
should cease. The proposition was de-
clined. The representatives retired to
the insurgent lines. General Otis says
the insurgents are tired Of fighting and
are no doubt seeking the best terms. In
another cable General Otis expresses
thanks to the president for his appre-
citation of the work of the army in the
Philippines. ~ 3al e9i'ab
b tits stated at the war department
that the insurgent leaders probably will
confer and seek another conference
with General Otis, and that the general
will no doubt grant general amnesty.
The full text of the dispatches from
General Otis are as follows:

sentatives has terminated. Their request

Dismissing the Europeans.

PEKIN, May lit is stated on good
authority that most of the European
drilling instructors in the Chinese army
have been dismissed. This is taken as
confirming the reported tendency of the
dowager empress and the reactionaries
to discard, as far as possible, foreign aid.
