pines Calls on President.

Manila, Oct 2s.-lt is believed that
the Filipino commissioners on whose
behalf permission has been asked to
visit Gen. Otis to discuss peace terms
and other matters if admitted to the
American lines will not be brought to
Manila, but it is expected that Gen.
Macarthur will be empowered to meet
| them. If he be authorized to receive
them he will do so in the status of in
dividuals coming from Aguinaldo and
will decline to receive any official COM
munication from the so-called republic.
The spectacle of the last Filipino Of
ticers who waited upon the American
authorities here displaying uniforms
about the city encouraged the hostile
element of the inhabitants. And, more
over, the persistent attempts of the
various commissions previously sent to
some sort of recognition of the Filipino
government have exhausted the pa
thence of the authorities.
1t is reported that the Filipinos pro-
pose to ask for an exchange of sick
Spaniards in their hands for Filipino
prisoners.

Calls on President.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Archbishop
Chappelle, of New Orleans, apostolic
delegate to the Philippines, was at the
white house Saturday and had long
talk with the president on the church
situation in the Philippines. In view
of his coming trip to Manila Archbishop
Chappelle was anxious to secure from
the president some assurance as to the
future of the church property there.
He assured the president that he would
make full and impartial investigation
of the alleged church dissertations as
soon after his arrival as possible.
Archbishop Chappelle said he would
be in Washington for some days, but
did not know just when he would sail
or whether it would be from New York
or San Francisco.
Another important question that will
develop during Archbishop Chappelle's
visit here will be the future of the Cath
Ollie church in Cuba.
