Major Manuel ArguelIes and Lieut..
Jose Bernal have abandoned the pre-
tense under which they came to Gen.
Otis that they represented Gen An
tonic Luna and today they announced
that they came as representa- tives of
A AguinaIdo himself The two ernissaries
used all their wiIes to secure a reply
from Gen Otis to the letter from SenOr
Mabini. AguinaIdo's prime minister and
minister of foreign affairs in the die
tator's cabinet, which they presented
to Gen Otis on yesterday but Gen
Otis refused to make any reply on the
ground that to do so would be eQuiva-
lent to a recognition of the sO-calIed
government of the F'iipinos.
Major ArgueIles said that AguinaIdo
knew he would be overpOwered in time,
but that he would be able to continue
the fight for months and that he would
do so unless he were given what Major
Arguelles termed peace with dignity

DAN HEWITT WELL.
Topeka Soldier Has Returned to the
Lines

Sergeant Dan Hewitt, the North To-
peka soldier who was severely wounded
in the engagement at CaIoocan has re
turned to his regiment The following
letter has been received by his parents.
Manila, P I, March L, 1899
My Dear Mother: can not write you
a very long letter this time as I am
out to the front again exchanging COM
pIiInents with the insurgents. We are
in the trenches and up to within 200
yards of the niggerS' trenches 1t IS a
very common thing for a bullet to go
singing over your head or strike in the
dirt in front of you have been out
here two days and have seen one boy
killed and one wounded, but as long as
a man keeps his head down he is all
right All we are doing now is keeping
the niggers from sticking their heads
up over their trenches It is a great
thing here and we are seeing some
great sights Every once in a while
the artillery throw a shell over the mig
gers lines and you can see them going
in all directions All night Dewey keeps
his search lights playing on the 1nSuT-
gents and it makes il as light as day
and helps US a great deal, too. I have
learned to dodge pretty good and I
keep my head down as the bullets get
very close some times 1 was on out
post duty last night and I felt funny
out there listening to the niggers talk
ing. I was up rather close to them The
outpost is clear out on a dyke and is z.
pretty narrow place with water on both
sides. When we went out there We had
to make a run for it as we had to go
out in plain sight and how the bullets
did fly There were four of US and We
had to Jump in the mud for protection,
and we were a pretty sight by the time
we got out do not want you to worry
about me any as viii come out o. K
If any one does received package
of papers from you and read them
while was under fire. so you see it is
not so very bad out here. They came in
right handy. too, as a paper or a book
is worth good deal to US Just at pres

peka but I am very near them and see
them every day. Jim Kershner is run

He is O. K I see no reason why any
one should worry about Us as we are all
safe and sound as ever. We get paid
every two months and when I am not
satisfied with the army food I can go

are many Masons here in Manila and
many Of our officers are Masous. I
