Miss Maude Yule. ................. .......... 494
This report of course caused trouble,
and the members of the board were at
once thrown into state of wrangling.
Newman objected to the change in the
salary of any of the teachers who were
cared for in the schedule adopted by
the board. Melville sang the praises
of Better and Baker objected to the
salary that had been given one of the
high school teachers and urged that
the salary of Miss Barber be raised to
$500 a year. No motion was made.
Newman continued to urge the sched-
ule and the members of the board
seemed to be urging that some favor
ties be advanced to higher salary
regardless Of the schedule. 1t was
finally moved 70 accept the report of
the teachers committee but Newman
amended that the teachers in all grades
be advanced two years in the schedule
and the amendment was lost. The
motion was carried and things went on
again.
Superintendent Nc Dowell stated
that one of the teachers had failed to
pass the examination, and on this
account there were three vacancies to
be filed. The board fought shy of any
voting. and the matter was referred to
the committee to be reported on at the
next meeting.
Like the ghost of Banquo, which
would not down, Newman again arose
at this point and brought up his pre-
vious motion to advance all the teachers
two years. The motion was seconded
but was declared out of order by the
chair. The board then laid aside the
excitement for awhile, while little
routine business was transacted.
The question of filters in the Central
building was referred to the committee
on buildings and grounds, with orders
to report next Tuesday.
The committee on supplies was
ordered to bring in an estimate of the
amount of coal needed for next year,
and to arrange for the purchase of the
usual supplies needed.
When the board reached the con
sideration of miscellaneous business
Newman arose, and with an impas
stoned speech again declared that in
The name of justice it was the duty of
the board to advance the salaries of all
the teachers. The motion was dis
cussed and lost
The board then took recess for ten
minutes to discuss the plans for the
new building No one could explain
the things which transpiTed during the
recess. Members of the building
committee got together and fraud in

END is IN SIGHT.
Cessation of Warfare
in Philippines
Is Likely.
WANTS TO FARLEY.
Aguinaldo Asks an Armis-
tice in Order to Dis
cuss Terms.

Washington, April 2S.-The end of the
Filipino Instruction is in sight, in the
opinion of the army and navy officials.
A telegram received from Gen. Otis to-
day announced that Aguinaldo had ta-
ken what Is regarded as the first step
towards surrender. namely, requesting
a cessation of hostilities.
Secretary Alger said as the depart
ment closed. that while 1t could not be
said that peace was assured, he regard
ed the prospects of the brightest, and
felt confident that the end of the insur-
rection was near. To his mind, there
would be q repetition Of the negotia-
lions which were had before Santiago.
The secretary left Washington tonight
for a ten days trip in the west, and 1t
gave him great satisfaction to leave af-
fairs in such promising shape.
Everybody is praising the volunteers,
marked change in the sentiment ex-
pressed a few days ago, when it was
understood that the same men were
pleading to be brought home. Col.
Funston came in for the most COM
mendation, even the regular officers
taking note with admiration of the fact
that his achievements were all strictly
within the line Of the plans laid down
for him by his superior officer, Gen.
Wheaton.
Gen. Corbin said that every volunteer
who participated in the fighting in the
Philippines since peace was declared
should have a medal of honor. BY the
terms of their enlistment they were
entitled to withdraw from the service,
but they had remained voluntarily,
performing more than was required of
them, which was more than the ordin-
airy duty of a. soldier. 1t is expected
that tomorrow there will be further ne
gotiations with the insurgent repre-
sentatives. 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 Otis must exercise care to make
sure that the insurgents do not in bad
faith take advantage Of the opportun-
ity afforded by a suspension of hos
tilities to secure whatever Of benefit to
themselves may come from the rapidly
approaching rainy season.
Campaigning on the part of the Am
orleans will be almost impossible at
that time.
However, it is believed that Aguinal-
do is now really in earnest and that his
sole effort is to shift responsibility for
the surrender to the Filipino congress.
Adjutant Generel Corbin says the Fill
ipino peace overtures viii not bring
about any change of plan in this coun-
try. 'as to forwarding ships, supplies
and troops to the Philippines. Trans
ports are about to sail from San Fran
cisco, and a considerable number Of
troops are under orders to proceed to
Manila.
1t is said at the navy department
that the developments of the day make
it improbable that the Iowa will be
sent to Manila according to the orig
inal program In view of the state of
affairs in China, however, the Ameri-
can fleet on the Asiatic station VIII be
kept at high standard.
