The Emissaries Return.

MANILA, May 1.-The second confer
ence between General Otis and Colonel
Manuel Arguelles and Lieutenant Jose
Bernal, who came from General Luna
under flag of truce to ask for cessa-
ton of hostilities, was fruitless. 1t is
understood that the Filipino commits
sioners were given the terms upon which
the Americans will consent to negotiate.
The Filipinos admit that they have been
defeated.
While it is the general expectation
among Americans that the Filipino en-
issaries will return with revised pro-
posals from General Antonio Luna, Ma
jor General Otis is not letting this pros
pect interfere with his preparations for
pushing the war.
General MacArthur's division crossed
the Rio Grande Thursday and advanced
on Apalit, completely routing the flower
Of the rebel army.
The enemy were very strongly in
trenched on the river bank near both
sides of the railroad bridge. General
Wheaton sent Colonel Funston across
with two companies of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment, a couple of privates
swimming the swift stream with rope
under a CALLING fire for the purpose of
guiding the raft.
The men crossed in squads of 20 and
attacked the left flank of the rebels,
who scuttled like rabbits from covered
ways and trenches.
The rest of the regiment was COM
PEELED to cross the bridge in single file
along the stringers. All the woodwork
and much of the iron work had been re-
moved.
The First Montana regiment followed
the Kansans across the bridge.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Throughout
the country yesterday was fittingly OBJ
served as Dewey day. In schools,
churches, clubs and private residences
old and young sang the praises of the
great admiral under whose direction
such a signal victory over the Spanish
fleet was won in Manila bay just a year
ago. Nature smiled on the celebrations.
Finer weather could not have been de-
sired.
Practically unknown to a majority of
his fellow citizens and seldom heard of
until the beginning of the war, Admiral
Dewey has become a great popular
hero, fairly idolized in all parts of the
Union.
Four hundred thousand school chill
dren in this city were told how Dew
eys words, You may fire when ready,
Gridley," began a new page of history
and how, when the American guns
stopped speaking, every ship in Monto-
JOS fleet had been sunk or captured.
By special legislative enactment some
states have made the day a legal holt

tion was taken by state or municipality.

SQUYRES WINS OUT.
Oral Opinion of the Court Rem
dered This Morning.

Following is the opinion render
ed orally this morning by Judge
M. S. Bailey in the case of the
People on the relation of w. M.
Squyres VS.. A. j. Harris:
"The Judgment in this case is
for the relator. | find in the
case that the meeting of May
22nd was regular and lawful meet
ing, and the business which
the board attempted to do at
that meeting to have been lawfully
transacted. There was a quorum
present with authority to transact
the business of the town at
the time, including the selection
of officers, and from this it follows
that at the time Harris was elect
ed, or attempted to be elected, to
the Office of town marshal, there
was no vacancy, nothing to be fill
ed, and therefore Harris could not
have been legally chosen to that
place in view of the fact that
Squyres was elected, and that there
is nothing to show that meanwhile
there has been a forfeiture of the
office in any way or any attempt
on the part of anybody to declare
it forfeited.
"And the finding of the court will
be that Squyres was elected as
marshal and is entitled to the Office
and that Harris is not entitled to
it. | think there can be no writnow
for Judgment inducting Squyres
into office, but the judgment will
be to the effect that he was and is
the duly elected marshal, and has
qualified according to the laws of
the state, and in conformity with
the ordinances of said town, and
that he is entitled to demand the
approval of his official bond, and to
ask for, have and hold said office,
upon the approval by the proper
authority of such said bond"
