on the murderer when he wants him II IL

port the police are of the opinion that the same

he may be called to account by Gen.
Otis, who probably does not under
stand what the officer is doing. Tech
nieally Rios is a prisoner of war and
his actions are subject to the complete
control of the United States officers at
Manila. His reports, it is said in Off
cial circles here, have been uniformly
misstatements of facts, or gross dis
tortions of them with the plain purpose
of giving a false impression of the
weakness of the American position in
the Philippines, perhaps with DELHI
crate purpose to justify some of the
powers to recognize the billigerency of
the insurgents. The latter are believ-
ed to be suffering from the lack of war
supplies, and such recognition at the
hands of even one of the nations
whose possessions border on the China
sea would be of the greatest assistance
to their cause.

INSULAR REFORMS.
Better Governments for Cuba and Porto
Rico-Board of Advisors at Work.

Rico-Board of Advisors at Work.
Washington, ID. c., February 27.-The
board of inSular advisers TO the war
department, consisting of Gen. Robert
p. Kennedy, Major Charles W. Watkins
and Hon. Henry G. Curtis, left here
this afternoon and will sail on the
transport OLDHAM direct for San Juan
on Wednesday morning. A radical
change in the plans of the board has
been made, it having been decided to
contine the present trip of investiga-
ton to the island of Porto Rico and
not at this time to proceed to Cuba as
had been ordinarily planned. The
change Of plans was recommended by
members Of the board themselves, was
approved by Secretary Alger and is
dictated by the different state of af-
fairs existing on the two islands. Porto
Rico is an American colony and its
people have been very solicitous for
immediate reform of civil government.
They have sent several Populations
here urging expedition in bringing or
der out of the crude conditions exist
ing, and it is desired that as an Amer
lean colony the island should be put
on a modern, systematiZed basis at
once. The time to take up the revou-
tionizing of conditions in Cuba so far
as the scope of the board extends, is
believed to be not quite ripe.
The work in Porto Rico will take
between one and two months, and con-
templates taxation, . educational and
municipal affairs generally. There will
be no general report on the work, save
in the matter of instituting a general
system of taxation, which now, in its
varying forms is largely based on in
comes. On all other matters separate
reports are to be made and after con-
Guiding recommendations on these, the
question of Cuban reform will be taken

Manila, February .27,-6:15 p. M
Two Spanish commissioners, Seniors
Rosatio and Abagado, who were per-
mitted to pass through our lines and
confer with Aguinaldo with reference
to the Spanish prisoners at Malalos,
returned through our lines this morn
ing near Caloocan, with sealed dis
patches for the Spaniards. The COM
missioners said that Aguinaldo and
Sandiko were both at Malolos and in
clined to pacific overtures. While the
Filipinos are not yet prepared to sur
render the Spanish prisoners, they will
gladly release two Americans who
have been held for six weeks on the
payment of $50, the value of food and
clothing furnished to them.
Shortly afterwards the rebels sent
out flag of truce borne by Command
ant Sinforoso de la Cruz and several
hundred of the enemy left the Filipino
lines crying mo quirer," Mas COM
bate" 'Americanos mucho eueno."
The Commandant said that fully
5000 of his men had had enough and
were anxious to surrender.
Among the enemy in the jungle many
women and children were visible. A
woman laid down her rife and attempt
ed to cross with the parleyers, but she
was sent back.
After the party returned to the Amer
lean lines the enemy on the right fired
a volley, the bullets dropping at their
feet.
The causalties to date are SO killed
and 347 wounded.
Major General Otis did not receive
the commissioners.

W dSuiHS COA, 4 eDEudTy LI-Iue OH
Gals of the War Department were ask
ed to-day why Gen. Otis had refused
to recognize the commissioners who
had come to Manila from the insurgent
headquarters at Malolos when they
came to seek peace. The reply was
that Gen. Otis was acting with the
greatest propriety in this matter. He
was careful not TO commit his govern
ment to any recognition of Aguinaldo
that would make a precedent, and
then there was always the best of rea-
sons for Withholding confidence in
every act Of the insurgents where the
placing Of trust would imperil Ameri-
can lives and interests. The Filipino
insurgents will have no difficulty in
securing amnesty, it is said, if they lay
down their arms and submit uncondi-
tionally; for there is no purpose on
the part of the American command
ers TO wreak vengeance upon a submits
sive foe. In addition 70 the military
reasons why Gen. Otis should be very
cautious in entering into any entan-
Cling negotiations with the insurgents,
there is also the ever-present danger
that he might by falling to be cautious
in this particular, give to some jealous
foreign power a pretext for formal
recognition Of the insurgents with all
the embarrassing consequences likely
TO follow.
Some notice is beginning TO be taken
here OF the markedly hostile reports
that are being cabled TO Madrid by Col.
Rios, the ranking Spanish officer at

Except for an occasional volley and
some individual firing by the rebels
from the jungle near Caloocan, along
the driver and in the vicinity of San
Pedro Macati, all was quiet along the
entire line last night. The enemy's
sharp shooters at Caloocan continue to
annoy the soldiers in the day time,

attention to them, reserving their fire
until the rebels appear in the open in
