THE FILIPINOS
FIRED ON FLAG OF TRUCE
News Received of an Outrage on the

dro Attacked-ThirtiethR Regiment
Arrives.

MANILA, Oct % $50 a. m.).-An Amer
lean officer was killed and two men were
| wounded by the Filipinos in an attack on
a launch with Gen. Lawton's expedition
in the Rio Chiquita near San Isidro. The
rebels fired volieys from the shore.
Gen. Otis has replied to the three insur-
gent officers, who entered Angeles last
Friday with a request made through
Gen. Macarthur for permission for a
Filipino commission, headed by Filipino
major geenral, to visit Cen Otis, in order
to discuss peace terms and to arrange for
the delivery of more American prisoners,
that the desired interview cannot be
granted, because the suggested proposi-
tions Of the Filipinos are vague, indefinite
and unmilitary and because the Ameri-
cans must continue to decline to receive
any representa- tive of the so-called Fill
pino government.
DEMANDS SURRENDER.
Gen Otis is disinclined to waste any
more time with Aguinaldo's envoys unless
they come with plain and simple prop
osition to surrender. All the efforts of
Aguinaldo's various peace commissions
have been to obtain some sort of recogni
ton for himself and the so-called Filipino
government. Such recognition will not be
given in any manner, directly or Indirect
ly 1t is also believed that pei mittir these
rebel enVoys to come to Manila is used to
encourage the rank and file of the rebels,
who are told that the United States is
treating with them and is about to make
important concessions.
Gen. Macarthur, it is understood, has
been empowered to receive rebel envoys
as individuals, but to decline to receive
any official communication from the So
called Filipino government, and to inform
such ENJOYS that Gen. Otis will not see
them until they are authorized to make
proposals for unconditional surrender.
Gen. Otis is convinced that none of Agui-
naldoS commissioners have come in good
faith and that their main object is not
peace, but to obtain some sort. of recog
milton that will enable Aguinaldo to rep
resent that he has forced the Americans
to. yield to him.
The Thirtieth infantry, Col. Cornelius
Gardener, arrived on the transport Sher-s
man. All the men are well, and the regi-
ment had no casualties on the voyage.
The Sherman also brought number of
recruits. The transports Elder and Port
Albert also arrived today with 4Ss recruits
and several hundred cavalry horses, and
all well OF, board.
FIRED ON TRUCE FLAG.
News has been received here of the
firing upon a flag of truce by the natives.
The gun boat Mariveles, at Seigoon
island, had captured a native vessel
which was trying to run the blockade.
Four men were sent ashore under a flag
of truce on Oct. 16 with the non-com-
batant crew Of the captured vessel. The
rebels disregarded the flag Of truce, at
tackled the Americans, ard captured Will
liam Juraschka, boatswain's mate. The
Mariveles then sent ten men to rescue
Juraschka. In the fighting which ensued
Sidney o. Hoar, lardsman. was fatally
wounded, while Frederick Anderson, ap-
prentice, was seriously wounded. and
Nicholas Savre, coXswain. was slightly
wounded. Juraschka remains in the hands
of the rebels.
The insurgent, Col. Rosario, Aguinaldo's
brother-in-law, who was wounded at
Noveleta, died in spite Of the best efforts
of the American surgeons to save his life.
