SAN FRANCISCO, August 15.-Ths
Bulletin publishes a startling story
from the Philippines regarding Lieut..
Gilmore and the partf from the York
town who were captured by the Fill
piRoS and who have been reported from
official sources as being we'll cared for
and well treated.
It appears that when the Americans
reached San Isldro, where the York
town members and some soldiers and
civilians had been imprisoned, they
found the names OF the prisoners
scratched on the walls Of the jail. Some
letters from the men were found Sc
creted under stones. and Spanlnrd
who had been Intrusted with several
presented them to General I.awton. The
letters told Of the hardships the men
were compelled 10 suffer and begged
that aid be sent them, The men COM
planned that they had been starved
beaten and bound, and moreover, were
IN rags.
One Of the letters signed by Albert
Lowenshon said that the spaniards
had been treated very badly, worse
than the Americans, and that hun.
dreds were dying Of dysentery and
other diseases, and that the government
took no notice Of sickness prevailing.

ed in getting iron and steel rapidly

Manila,t Oct. 2. The Filipino peace
commissionwhich arrived at the Amer
lean lines Saturday morning brought a
request from A guinaldo that he be4per-
mitted to send a Representative of his
government to negotiate for peace.
Gen. Otis refused the request. There
will be another conference.
Otis Won't Negotiate.
Aguinaldo's third attempt to shift
his difficulties into the field of di-
.plomacy is repetition of the other one
or two, withsan impossible endeavor to
obtain some sort Of recognition Of his
so-called government. The Filipino en-
ivoys held an hours conference with
Gen. Otis Sunday morning. They
brought from Aguinaldo a message that
he desired peace and wished to send a
civilian governmental commission to
discuss, the question. Gen. Otis replied
that it was impossible for him to rec
ognize Aguinaldo's government in that
way. They presented letter from
Aguinaldo as president of the repub-
-lic," which was largely a repetition Of
hisIrecentl appeals, for ecognition. Gen.
Otis Informed them that, while he was

dispatch relative to the intended sur

ton of the southern islands to accept
American sovereignty. These peo-
pie have heretofore made offers of
surrender, but have coupled it with a
provision that the United States should
relinquish its right if Aguinaldo should
be successful in Luzon.
American Prisoners Released.
Manila, Oct. 2-Gens. Otis, Schwan,.
Lawton and Bates proceeded to Angeles.
Saturday, where. they conferred with
Filipino commissioners as the result of
an exchange. of communication be-
tween Gen. Macarthur and the insur-=
gents.
The insurgent commissioners ar
rived at Angeles at five o'clock Satur-
day afternoon and stated that the
American prisoners were following.
Shortly after eight o'clock Saturday
night the surrender Of "A prisoners,
was made. All are enlisted soldiers,
who were captured in different engage
ments. Lieut.. Gilmore and his crew
of the Yorktown were not among the.
prisoners delivered.
Speak Well of Their Treatment.
The prisoners unanimously praised
their treatment. One man said: Eve
have been given the best the country
afforded, fine houses for our quarters
servants, good food, plenty of wine and
a money allowance. Aguinaldo visited
us and shook hands. Three of the boys
refused to. shake hands with him. The.
released soldiers also say that the idea
of independence has taken firm hold of
the Filipinos, and they threaten, if con-
quered, to exterminate the Americans
by assassination. Aguinaldol seemed
popular among all the people the pris-
oners met. The country, they say, is,
full of rich crops.

Capt. Carter was appointed military at

he was recalled to answer charges pre-

that he had failed to give watchful super

certificates relating to absences and de-

Testimony was given that Capt Carter
was In league with a contractor or contract
