THEY WANT TO QUIT.
Filipino ENJOYS Return 20 Manila 70 He
new Peace Proposals-

Washington, May 4.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received from
Manila:
Major General Arguelezes and Lieu
tenant Jose Bernal of the staff of Gen
eral Luna returned here today to re-
new and press the request of General
Luna for a cessation of hostilities.
They have found the field of labor a
most uncongenial one. The two Off
GERS were received in conference with
Major-General Otis
The proposals which they had to
submit differed but slightly from those
which they brought from the Filipino
commander in the first place. They
desired little time in which to sum-
mon congress, and express themselves
rs being confident that congress will
decree peace because their people de.
sire it.
They represent that Aguinaldo Is
without power to surrender the army,
and that the congress must decide that
question. Incidentally the Filipino
ENJOYS asserted that Aguinaldo had
not yet made fair test of his strength
against the American forces, because
only one-third of the army had been
assembled together.
The ENJOYS presented a letter from
Senior Mabini, president and minister
Of foreign affairs in the cabinet of
Aguinaldo, and who is the backbone
of the Filipino organization. The
communication is personal and unoffi-
cial and seconds Major Arguelezes ar

I Gentlemen who believe in correcting
their wives by physical methods will
naturally find much encouragement
and satisfaction in the decision of
Judge Peabody Of st. Louis, who holds
husband Is justified in chastising his
wife In moderation. The trouble is
that wives have lately developed an in
clination to do the chastising them
selves. Two recent instances in the
daily papers illustrate this tendency.
One was that OF Mrs. Albina Chemlik
of Chicago. who, upon being reproved
by her husband, broke a stove leg
over his head. The other concerns
Mrs. Sarah Adams of Camden, N, J.,
who found her husband in saloon
when he should have been at home
and proceeded to spank him coram
publico. 1t is obvious that Judge
Peabody's ruling will afford little
comfort to Messrs. Chemlik and
Adams, nor will it aid husbands whose
wives are expert in the handing of
rolling pins and teakettles as weapons
Of offense and defense Judge Pea
body may decree that the wife should
submit to chastisement, but II the lady
disregard the ruling 1t is going to be
difficult to enforce 1t. We doubt II
the learned Judge will institute con-
tempt proceedings to sustain his de-
cision.

AGUINALDO'S SCHEME
FILIPINO ENJOYS TO OTIS DO
NOT COME FROM LUNA.
General Otis Refuses to Recognize the So
Called Government of the Insurgents
-Filipinos Want Three Months
Truce TO Recruit Tn.

Washington, May 5.-General Otis
has apprised the government of the
results of the conference which oc
CURED between himself and the al
legged representatives of General Luna,
on May 8. The ENJOYS bore a propo.
sal for a cessation of hostilities, but
General Otis adhered to his refusal 10
recognize the so-ealled government OF
the insurgents.
The Filipinos now ask for truce OF
three months in order, they allege, to
enable Aguinaldo to summon the con
gress and to consult with the leaders
on other islands. 1t is presumed his
real motives are to rest and recruit
his disheartened army, and to procure
war munitions. The ENJOYS admitted
the contention OF General Otis that
Aguinaldo has little control over af-
fairs outside the island of Luzon.
On the question of release of Span
ish prisoners in the hands of the Fill
piuos, Major Manuel Arguelezes, the
chief member of the deputation, said
that he considered them as being in
the same category with the Americans,
the United States being the successor
Of Spain in dominion over the island
and acquiring by treaty all Spanish
rights and obligations.
The Filipino ENJOYS, Major Manuel
Arguelezes and Lieutenant Jose Ber-
nal, have abandoned the pretense I'M
der which they came to General Otis,
that they represented General Antonio
Luna, and today they announce that
they came as representatives of Agui-
naldo himself
The two emissarles used all their
wiles to secure a reply from General
Otis to the letter from Senior Mobini,
Aguinaldo's prime minister and minis
ter of foreign affairs in the dictator's
cabinet, which they presented to Gen
eral Otis, but General Otis refused to
make any reply, on the ground that to
do SO would be equivalent to recogni-
ton of the so-called government of the
Filipinos.

FIGHT LIKE INDIANS.
FILIPINos FIRE ON A FLAG OF
TRUCE.
Adoption of Tactics Used In Fighting In
diansln the United states Saves Gen.
eral Lawton's forces From
Great Loss.

Washington, May detailed re.
ports of the work of Majo General
Lawton's expedition show that hard.
er fighting took place during the early
| part of the week than earlier accounts
/ indicated. In the attack on San Ra-
fael the American forces were met
with a heavy fire from large number
of rebels who we're concealed In the
jungles on ali sides. II was only in
the adopting Of tactics followed in In
dian fighting in the United States, ev-
cry man for himself, that saved the
division from great loss. General
Lawton, as usual, was at the head of
his staff. SCOTS battery demolished
stone-fronted trench at short range.
The insurgent leaders, Gregorio and
Pho del Pillar who had 500 men in Ball
nag, retreated when General Lawton
appeared at the town. Chief OF Scouts
Young, with eleven men, entered Bal
mag ahead of the army and rang the
church bells to announce that they
had possession Of the city.
General Lawton, when attacking in
force outside Of Balinag, saw women
and children in the rebel trenches and
sent Captain Case in advance with a
white flag to warn the insurgents to
remove the non-combatants. When
within 500 yards of the trench two
volleys were fired at Captain Cases
party.
Chief of Scouts Young whose bra
very at Balinag was most notable,
served as an Indian Scout under Ma
jor General o. o. Howard in his cam
paign in the Northwest in 1876. The
work of Young's scouts was feature
of the expedition On Wednesday, the
3rd, the men encountered some Fill
pinos beyond Balinag and drove them
until their $50 rounds of ammunition
had been reduced to fifteen. They
were about to retire when Lieutenant
Boyd with troop of the Fourth cav
airy came up with them and chased
the enemy into San Miguel.
There are 1000 Spanish prisoners In
the hands of the Filipinos at San Mi
guel. They are served with s cents
worth of rice daily and are compelled
to work hard on the rebel defenses.
Several hundred of the Filipino
wounded are at San Miguel.
The insurgents are sending their
women and children TO the Bianaona-
bate mountains.

Cincinnati, o., May 7.-Buried trea-
sure in the shape of eleven 81 900
bonds, bearing unclipped coupons
which add several thousand dollars to
their value, were found by Thomas
Lawson, a negro laborer, while dig
ging in the cellar of down town de-
partment store on Sixth street. The
ground was formerly the property
of Drifting Bros, piano manufacturers.
This discovery solves mystery which
had been source of angry contention
among the heirs of Julius Drifting,
whose sisters brought suit against
Martin Drifting, brother, charging
him with having concealed the bonds.

diers, But There Has Been no Collision.
Wardner, Idaho, May 4.-The first
detachment of regulars have arrived
from Spokane, and were met at the
depot by crowd of business men and
citizens, who gave them a cordial
greeting. 1t is hoped 500 regulars will
be here by tomorrow night.
Shortly after the arrival of company
NJ, Twenty-fourth infantry, Captain
Bachelor, commanding, a report was
spread among the inhabitants of the
place that the union miners from Can
yon creek has started down to Ward
ner for the purpose of wiping out the
company of regular troops before rein
forcements could arrive. Sixty nom
union men armed with rifles immedi-
ately rushed down the road from
Wardner to the railroad station one
and half miles, for the purpose Of
stopping the union men.
The report proved unfounded and
was probably occasioned by the sus-
pension of telegraphic communication
between Wardner and Wallace.
Sixty-five men have been dispatched
from Helena for this place, 100 are
coming from Fort Russell, while 100
picked soldiers from Fort Douglas,
veterans of San Juan, are on their way,
and the citizens are beginning to feel
easy.

Anti-Imperialistlc League Sending sedi-
tious literature to Manila.
Washington, May 4.-The postmas-
ter general has directed the postmaster
at San Francisco to take out of the
mails far Manila three pamphlets is
sued by Edward Atkinson of Boston,
vice president of the Anti-Imperialistic
league. This order does not apply to
the circulation of the pamphlets by
mail in this country, but bars their
dispatch from this country to the
Philippines, discomfort and even mu-
tiny among the soldiers being stated
by the department to be the design Of
these publications.
Postmaster General Smith says:
'These pamphlets actually incite to
mutiny and it would be utterly I'M
justifiable to permit their circulation
among the soldiers of the Philippines
Their circulation is a movement to in
duce the soldiers to disobey orders and
In effect to embarrass and resist the
government in whose service they are
engaged. Not only are they designed
to incite to mutiny the American SOL
diers on those islands, but also to
foment and encourage insurrection on
the part Of the Filipinos themselves.

IA BABY PASSENGER.
BY Bran stoker.

One night we were journeying In the
west OF the Rockies over a road oed
which threatened to jerk out our teeth
with every loosely-laId sleeper on the
line.
Travelling in that part of the world
certainly in the days 1 speak OF, was
pretty hard. The travellers were most
ly men, all oYerworked, all oyeranx-
Ious, and intolerant of anything which
hindered their work or interfered with
the measure OF their repose. In night
Journeys the berths Of the sleeping
cars were made up early, and as all the
night trains were sleeping cars, the
only thing to be done was to turn in
at once and try and sleep away the
time. AS most of the men were usual
ly tired out with the days work, the
arrangement suited everybody. You
can understand that on such journeys
women and children were disturbing
elements. Fortunately they were, as
night travellers, rare, and the women.
with that consideration for the needs
Of their men folk which l have always
noticed in American female workers,
used to devote themselves to keeping
the little ones quiet.
The weather was harsh, and sneeZ-
Ing and coughing was the order Of the
day. This made the people in the
sleeper, all men, irritable; all the more
that as most of them were contribute
Ing to the general chorus of sounds
coming muffied through quilts and cur
tains, it was impossible to single out
any special offender for general exc
Grafton. After awhile, however, the
change OF posture from standing or
sitting to lying down began to have
some kind of soothing effect, and new
sounds Of occasional snoring began to
vary the monotony of irritation. Pres
emily the train stopped at a way sta
ton; then ensued a prolonged spell OF
shunting backward and forward with
the uncertainty of jerkiness which is
so peculiarly disturbing to imperfect
sleep; and then two newcomers enter
ed the sleeper, man and baby. The
baby was young, quite young enough to
be defiantly ignorant and intolerant OF
all rules and regulations regarding the
common good. 1t played for its own
hand alone, and as it was extremely
angry and gifted with exceptionally
powerful lungs, the fact of its presence
and its emotional condition, even
though the latter afforded a mystery as
to its cause, were Immediately appar-
emit. The snoring ceased, and its place
was taken by muttered grunts and

strikers Use Dynamite.

Duluth, Mimi, May 6.-The first
serious demonstration by the street
railway sympathizers and strikers oc-
Cured Friday night. They used dyna-
mite to stop traffic. Four cars were
derailed, three at West Duluth and one
on Garfield avenue. One of the cars in
West Duluth was smashed almost be-
yond repair, and all of the glass in the
other two was broken. The car on
Garfield avenue was served likewise.
One man was seriously, If not fatally
injured, and four others were slightly
hurt. When Manager Warren of the
street railway company appeared on
the scene with wrecking-car, he was
set upon by the strikers.

WHERE'S IT'S MOTHER, ANYHOW?
growls; the coughing seemed to in
crease with the renewed irritation and
everywhere was the rustling of ill-at-
ease and impotent humanity. Curtains
were pulled angrily aside, the rings
shrieking viciously on the brass rods
and cleaning eyes and hardening
mouths glared savagely at the intruder
on our quiet, for so we now had tardily
come to consider by comparison him
and 1t. The newcomer did not seem
to take the least notice of anything,
and went on in stolid way trying to
quiet the child, shifting it from one
arm to the other, dandling it up and
down. and rocking it sideways.
All babies are malignant; the natural
wickedness of man, as elaborated at
the primeval curse, seems to find an
unadulterated effect in their express
sions of feeling.
The baby was a peculiarly fine spe-
cimen of its class. 1t seemed to have
no conjunction whatever, no parental
respect, no natural affection, no miti-
cation in the natural virulence of its
rancor. 1t screamed, it roared, it
squalled, 1t beloved. The root ideas
OF profanity, of obscenity,of blasphemy
were mingled in its tone. 1t beat with
clenched fists its fathers face, it claw
ed at his eyes with twitching fingers, it
used his head as an engine with which
to buffet him. 1t kicked, 1t struggled,
1t wriggled, 1t. writhed, it twisted it
self into serpentine convolutions, till
| every now and then, what with its
vocal and muscular eXertions, 1t threat
ened to get black in the face. All the
time the stolid father simply tried to
keep 1t quiet with eternal changes of
posture, and with whispered words.
There, now, petw Hush; lie still,
little one" REST, dear one. restl" He
was big, lanky, patient looking. an
gular man, with great rough hands
and enormous feet, which he shifted
about as he spoke. so that man and
child together seemed eternally rest
less.
The thing appeared to have a sort of
fascination for most of the men in the
car. The curtains OF lot of berths
were opened and lot of heads an
peared, all scowling. chuckled SOFTLY
to myself and tried to conceal my mer-
riment lest l should spoil the fun. No
one said anything for long time. till
at last one wild-eyed, swarthy. long.
bearded individual, who somehow look

From Now On Aggressive Tactics WIN be
Pursued In the Philippines.
Washington, May 6.-The war de.
partment is satisfied from the dis.
patches received from General Otis
That the American commander has put
aside the insurgent temporizing and
has turned his attention to most ag-
gressive tactics. The wisdom of this
course was fully approved by officials
here, who have foreseen that the reb,
els needed further chastisement in Or
der to bring them to a realization of
their position.
General Lawton's movement north
ward to Maasin is designed to keep a
body of American troops to the north
OF the rebels and between them and
their line of retreat in the mountains.
A successful execution of this move

surrounded to the north, though there
Is stretch of about seven miles to
the Rio Grande river, along which the
rebels are retiring If the rebels do
succeed In getting into the mountains,

cannot continue organized resistance,
as the mountain localities furnish
much less opportunity for sustenance
than the rice lands along the foothills
and bottoms. The authorities here
are all satisfied with the manner in
which our forces are placed.

She Had a Glass Eye.

Cincinnati, May 5.-Judge Jetke
yesterday granted divorce and ali
mony to Catherine Kraus from Charles
Kraus. When Mrs. Kraus sued for
divorce, her husbands attorney filed
an answer, setting forth that his wife
had glass eye and had deceived him,
as he did not know of the glass eve
antil after their marriage. The court
held that facial or other physical
blemishes were not grounds for frauds
IN marrying contracts and that Mrs.
kraus should be refused from the
bonds Of matrimony.
