AGUINALDO READY FOR PEACE
InsurEent Leaders Are Said to Have
Made Proposal to End
Hostilitfes.

CHICAGO. July IA special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Important cablegrams have been received
at the State department from the Philippine
commission and at the War department from
General Otis concerning a new move in the
direction of peace. These dispatches have
been in the hands Of the president for sew
eral days, but he has declined TO make them
public because the ultra-optlrnistic views
heretofore received from the same source
have not been borne out by subsequent
events. The dispatches from General Otis
are more encouraging, but the president
wishes to have some positive results before
making them public. All that can be learned
about them is that direct overtures for peace
have been made to General Otis by Agui-
naldo and some OF his principal leaders. 1t
was said by a cabinet official today that il
the promises are fulfilled the volunteers now
being enlisted will not be needed.

FIVE MEN KILLED IN A FEUD
Quarrel Between Kentucky Families
eliminates in Shooting ARRAY.
ONE FACTION CONTROLS ABOUT $50 VOTES
First victim Is shot from Rear While
in Custody and n Pitched Battle
Follows-Only ono Par
ticipant Escapes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July ia special TO
the Courier-Journal from London, Ky, tells
Of the outbreak OF another feud in Clay
county by which FIVE men lost their lives to-
day. The dead are said to be Robert Phil
pot, Ed Fisher, Ed Morris, Jim Griffin and
Hugh Griffin. These fatalities resulted from
a pitched battle fought near Little Goose
creek, three miles from Manchester.
The feud dates back nearly two years. On
Christmas, 1897, James Philpot was killed By
Aaron Morris, but before he died he shot
and killed William Bundy, a friend OF Nor
ris'. The Morrises and Grifins were closely
affiliated. Since then the feeling between
the two factions has been very bitter and
has been aroused recently by the White
Baker hoetilities. The Philpots, who are the
strongest faction in the mountain and num-
Der about $50 voters, openly espoused the
cause of the Bakers, while the Griiins took
sides with the Whites.
The story that reaches here from Manches-
ter is TO the effect that Bob Philpot was
arrested this morning by Deputy Sheriff
Thacker. While very circumstantial in
other respects the report does not show
clearly the origin of the trouble nor give
the reason for Philpot's arrest. 1t is said
that while Thacker was taking Philpot's
bond the latter was shot from behind by a
member of a crowd that had gathered. This
precipitated a general fight with rifles and
revolvers, which was participated in by
George Granville, Robert and Peter Philpot
and Ed Fisher on one side and Aaron Nor
ris, Hugh, Jim and Green Griffith on the
other.
Only One Man Escapes.
The battle began at about 0 o'clock and
ragged fiencely for ten or fifteen minutes.
When it was over it was found that the
FIVE men mentioned above had been killed
outright, three Of the belligerents were seri-
ously wounded, while Pete Philpot was the
only one on either side to escape injury.
Granville Philpot is said to be one of the
most seriously wounded. He is a union vet
eran, having lost a leg at Stone River. He
is an ex-member of the Kentucky legisla-
ture and is said to have killed three or four
men. Ed Fisher, who is reported dead. was
another man with several hicks in his cane.
He was but 90 years old, but was said to
have killed three men.
The story of this battle caused consterna-
ton here Notwithstanding the fact that seri-
Gus trouble has been expected to break out
among the mountaineers Of Clay county ever
since the assassination of Tom Baker sew
eral weeks ago. An effort was at once be-
gun to secure deputies to go to the seat of
the trouble and attempt to restore quiet,
but up TO a late hour in the afternoon there
had not been enough responses to make up
a force that would command respect.
The situation at Manchester is deplorab!e.
Since morning the place has been In a state
of terror, scarcely anyone daring to venture
out OF doors. Business is suspended and the
residents are momentarily expecting a re-
newal of hostilities.
