II answered that ! would be glad to re-

Washington. April 2o.--General Otis
cabled the war department that the con-

weeks In which to allow their congress to
decide whether hostilities should cease.
The proposition was declined. The rep
resentatives retired to the lnsurgent lines
General Otis says the insurgents are tired

best terms.
In another cable General Otis expresses
thanks to the president for his apprecia-

1t Is stated at the war department that

fer and seek another conference with GEN

doubt, grant general amnesty.

VIII Not lie Rccognined.


Manila, April 20, 600 p. m.--The ENJOYS
from General Luna were very hospitality
treated by General OTIS who provided
them with a house and with guard and
permitted them to visit friends here. Re
turning to the palace this morning the
ENJOYS saw an illustration of American
resources. long train OF wagons and
pack mules was just starting with pro
visions for General Lawton. who has
reached Marunco
The conference at the palace lasted three
hours Mr.. Jacob 4. schurman OF tho
American Philippine commission attend
ing and Admiral Dewey dropping In for an
hour. The discussion was mostly between
General Otis and Colonel Argueieses, who
had been selected for the mission by Gen
eral Luna, because he had known General
Otis, Colonel Argueleses served on tho
Filipino committee which met the Ameri-
can authorities before tho war In an en-
deavor to smooth over the impending trou-
bles
Mr. Schurman emerged from the palace
between the two shock haired half savage
looking emissaries and the three drove
unattended to the office of the United
states Philippine commission, where they
talked Informally for about an hour.
Manila is divided between two oplnionp,
the majority believing that the Fliipnos
desire peace, while others think they are
sparring for time In which to rehabllitate
their demoralized army. The latter opln-
lon gained color from the fact that rein
torcemen;s have been sent to the south
opposite the American lines.
Colonel Argueleses, who Ia a LAWYER
splendidly illustrated the Malay subtletv
with words, While he declared with an
parent frankness that the Filipino leaders
wanted chance to give up the struggle
gracefully, through the congress instead
OF surrenderlng ignomniously. ana asked
Tor a fortnight's armistice so that the
congress might BIO Summoned on May /.
He endeavored TO commit the Americans
10 greater concessions and wanted terms
guaranteed by treaty.
He was told that recognition of the Fill
pino government was impossible, and he
wns given TO understand that a written
guarantee OF amnesty for all insurgents
was the utmost that could be given.
Colonel Argueleses argued that spain
bad given similar guarantees and had
broken them, and he laid much stress on
the Spanish honor He perslstontly de-
clared that the Filipinos must be permit
