NEW PROPOSALS FOR PEACE

for an Armistice.

the request Of General Luna for a ces-
sation of hostilities. They have found

n The two officers were received
in conference with Mlj)r. General L.
\. Otis.
The proposals which they had to
submit differed only slightly from
those which they brought from the
Filipino commander in the first place.
They desired a little time In which to
summon their congress and expressed
themselves as confident the
will deere, peace, because the people
desire 1t. They represent that Aguin-
aldo is without power TO surrender the
army and that the congress must de
eide that question. Incidentally the
Filipino ENJOYS asserted that Augin-
aldo had not yet made a fair test of
his strength against the American
forces, for only one.third of his army
had been assembled together.
The ENJOYS presented a letter from
Senior Mabini, president and minister
Of foreign affairs in the cabinet o.
Aguinaldo and who is the backbone
OF tho Filipino organization. Tho
communication is personal and unof-
fetal and seconds Major Arguellcs'
arguments.
In the course Of the conference with
the ENJOYS, General Otis agreed with
tho statement Of Major Arguellcs that
the people Of the Philippines wanted
peacs and he added that requests for
protection are pouring in upon him
from all parts OF the country.
The cnvoys will SEQ General Otis
again tomorrow. They will sleep to-
night in Manila. They lunched with
General Macarthur at his headquar.
ters on n car of the armorcd train at
Calumpit before going to Manila.
Whether or not General Luna Is sin.

are giving the insurgents a much
needed opportunity to rehabilitate
their dcmoralized forces. Discussions

LONDON, May Misrepresentation Of
the Filipino junta say they have re.
ceivcd n telegram from Aguina.do
dated April 80, in which he ,ates that
his government has nothing to do
with the present peace negotiations
which, he asserts, are being conducted
by a group Of half.castes who are
anxious for peace in the expectation
of getting high offices under a new
government. Several of these men,
A~guinaldo says, are members of the
Filipino congress, where they are en-.
~deavoring to %outvotc him.
A~guinaldo disavows the present ne
gotiations and adds hat under no cir
cumstances will he accept an Amer

The dispatch concludes with a con-
temptuous reference to Major Arguel.

more authority to act on behalf of Az
