Asks 20 Send "a Representative of his
Government" TO General otis.
Manila, (By Cable. 1.-The Filipino Pence
Commission, which arrived at the American
lines, brought request from Aguinaldo
that he be permitted to send q representa-
tive OF his Government TO negotiate for
peace.
General Otis refused the request.
Aguinaldo's third attempt to shift his Diff
hculties into the field OF diplomacy is
repetition OF the other one or two, with nn
impossible endeavor to obtain some sort OF
recognition OF bis so-caled government.
The Filipino ENJOYS had nn hours con-
ference with General Otis. They brought
from Agulnaldo a message that he desired
peace, and wished to send a civilian govern
mental commission to discuss the question.
General Otis replied that 1t was impossible
for him to recognize Aguinaldo's govern
ment In that way.
They presented letter from Agulnaldo
as President OF the Republic" which was
largely repetition OF his recent appeals
Tor recognition. General Otis informed
them that while he was willing to eorres-
pond with Agulnaldo us general OF the in
surgent forces, ho must positively decline to

The Rrile-Elect.

A prospective bride went into @ sta
tionery store the other day to order
the announcement of her wedding.
They were to be in her sisters name.
Now why it is, no one may be able to
tell, but there is no denying the fact
that ordering wedding stationery is
very embarrassing work il the clerks
have an idea that you are the BRIDE
elect. So this young lady conceived
the idea of pretending she was the
married sister in whose name the an
nouncements were to be made. She
got on beautifully, gave the names and
took care to make it known that she
was the married lady mentioned in
the announcement. When she had
finished she gave directions that the
bill be sent to Mrs. S. j. Blank.
Every WELL" said the clerk, and
then in an especially loud voice,
"What is your name"
Without thought out it came, the
name of the bride-elect mentioned in
the announcement. The clerk smiled
Il suppressed smile, and repeated the
name as loudly rs he had asked the
question. 1t seemed to the young
lady that all the clerks in the store
and all the customers, too, were look
ing at her aud she began to feel the
red coming into her face. So she
picked up her pocketbook and sailed
out of the store as fast as she knew
how, resolved never again to try to
perVert the truth. Detroit Free Press
