that one people had no right to force

the question in a dispassionate manner,
claiming there were many reasons why

attempt to force upon any people form

objected. The conference adjourned at

OFFERS TO BETRAY.
render His ARMY and Deliver Up
Aguinaldo for Cash.

Manila, Oct. 19.-Gen. Otis has re-
ceived messages purporting to come
from the insurgent general, Pho Del
Pillar, offering to sell out his army and
to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands of
isfied that this offer is authentic, 1t is
not intrinsically improbable. The pol
icy of Gen. Otis is firmly set against
buying any surrenders.
Pho Del Pillar offers for the sum of
$4,000 to refrain from attacking Ma
Mia with his army; for the sum of $780,
900 he offers to surrender his army aft
er sham battle, both sides firing into
the air, and for the sum of $50O,00O he
says he will procure the overthrow OF
the insurrection and the capture OF
Aguinaldo Paterno and the other lead
ers. In the course of the communica-
ton he refers to Aguinaldo in con-
temptuous terms, indicating that
strained relations exist between them.
Reports are being received from the
districts occupied by the enemy that
the Filipinos believe that Pho Del Pillar
has an audacious plan to break through
the American lines into Manila and
seize Gen. Otis and the archbishop.
Possibly these rumors were started
with an idea of helping him to make
deal with the Americans.
1t is needless to say that the Ameri-
cans would welcome an attack of that
sort. There has been much speculation
of late regarding the whereabouts of
Pho Del Pillar The recent attack at La
Iona is credited to his men. 1t is be-
lieved that he is now in the vicinity OF

Dewey and Gen. Grant are strikingly
close. The merit record of the one in
the naval academy is almost identical
with that of the other in the military
academy. They were at about the
same place above the bottom of the
class, they were deficient in the same
studies, and their conduct marks were
much alike. The one reached the high
est position in the army and the other
in the navy. In modesty and dignity
of personal bearing they are singularly
alike. They resemble each other also
