CONFERENCE NOT OFFICIAL.
S"'ehent of the Terms That the
FilipinOs Demand

LONDON, April 29-Members Of the Fill
pino Junta here made the, statement to
the Associated Press correspondent to-
day that the peace negotiations between
the United States authorities at Manila
and Gen. Luna were unofficial in charac-
ter
Gen. Luna, the junta asserts, does not
represent Aguinaido's government
II Is further asserted by the junta that
secret negotiations between Dean c. Wor-
eester OF the United States Philippine
commission and a representative of Agui-
naido have been in progress since before
the attack on Malolos. The following
coholuons' 1t is alleged, were proposed af-
Ter the capture of Malolos:
The Americans to issue a proclamation
granting the Filipinos self-government and
political, civil and religious rights. sinnj-
Jar 70 those enjoyed by the people Of
Cahada, the Filipinos to control interna-
tlohal mercantile relations; Americans
ana tilipinos to enjoy equal rights in the
Islands; Manila to remain in the possess
sion OF the United States until Congress
decides otherwise; the American flag To
ny over the capitals of the islands and m
the most prominent positions along
WIN the Filipino flag, except
NN @AuAAAd' WHST6 only the AmeTi-
can flag shall fly; all vessels to fly the
American flag with that of the Filipinos:
the Roman Catholic clergy to be under the
same administration as in the United
States; Spanish clerical direction and in
tervention to be abolished the status quo
of rural property belonging to the religious
orders to be maintained without return To
the ante-bellum state of affairs; hospitals
and schools formerly administered by the
orders to be handed over 10 the govern
ment, the orders 10 retain only their pres
ent town property; the secular clergy to
retain their property.
The junta asserts that Aguinaldo, in
view of these proposals, withdrew from
Malolos, but that Gen. Otis proclamation
after the occupation of Malolos failed to
grant self-government on the proposed
lines
This, it is further asserted, caused the
hostilities following the capture of Ma
lolos.

WE'RE TENDERED AN OVATION.
Godfrey's Band Assisted I'm Welcom~
ing wheeler and AIger.


Detroit, April 29.-There was a sort of
international aspect to the welcome ten
dered Secretary Alger and Maj. Gen.
wheeler by the Detroit Sons OF the Amer
lean Revolution on their arrival in the
city at $50 O'Clock this evening.
One OF the most prominent features OF
the military parade which escorted the
two generals from the railroad station
was Lieut. Dan Godfrey's British Guards
band. whose red uniforms were in striking
contrast to the blue clothing OF the ball
ance of the military escort. The English
musicians had been hurried In from Ann
Arbor by special train to assist in well
coming the American generals. They did
their share TO the tune of patriotic YAM
kee marching airs.
The crowds along the route Of the parade
we're especially enthusiastic In welcoming
Gen. Wheeler, many rushing out and
Crasping his hand as he passed. Gen. ALI
ger was kept busy bowling 10 friends OF his
home city. The escort consisted Of mount
ed police, Company II, Seventh Infantry,
and band; Company N, Thirty~fourth
Michigan volunteers: Detroit Naval Re-
serve. Godfreys British Guards band, De-
troit IAght Guard. Michigan Military Acad-
emy and band and the Detroit Sons of the
American revolution.
on their arrival at the Russell House the
guests were rendered an informal recep-
lion. They will remain through the Sons
OF the American Revolution convention.
Many officers and prominent members of
the order have arrived from the East.

MORE CRITICISM OF GOMEZ.
Reported Purchases of Arms From
Cubans Being Looked Into.

Reported Purchases of Arms From
Cubans Being Looked Into.
Havana, April 29.-Senor Domingo Men
doza Capote, secretary of government in
Gov. Gen. Brookes' advisory cabinet, has
notified the provincial municipalities that
they are to have complete autonomy as far
as elections are concerned, except in the
choice of Mayors and their assistants and
civil governors.
La Discussion. in an editorial in to-day s
issue, continues its attacks on Gen. Co
mez, expressing condemnation of his
agreement with Robert P. Porter, who
acted as President McKinley's special rep
resentative and whom the paper accuses
of conspfring against Cuban independence.
La Discussion characterizes the report
made to Secretary of the Treasury Gage
as "hypocritical" and calls Gen. Gomez
a vulgar demagogue, impelled by his
enormous ambition and vanity and con-
founded by the immense promises made
him.
Mail advices from San Nicholas deny
the existence of bands of outlaws in that
district. declaring that the rumors of out
RACES originated in the theft of a horse,
which recently occurred there.
Gen. Gomez and the consulting com
mittee of Cuban generals agreed to-day
that when thesCuban troops are paid each
soldier shall be given a signed record of
his term of service, together with a state
ment Of balance due him for such service,
and a promise of payment by the first
Cuban government one year subsequent
to its esta blishment
Gen. Brooke is inquiring into the report
ed buying of arms from the Cubans by
agents of Colombian couspirators. One or
two cattle ships sail hence for Colombian
ports. and the supposition is that it was
Intended to smuggle small quantities of
arms from here on these vessels, SO far,
however, nothing definite has been Off
cially elected.
Private reports from Matanzas say that
a few arms have been purchased there, but
for what point they are destined to is not
known.
There are doubtless some thousands of
men here who are ready to enlist in any
foreign service that promises good pay,
and agents of Don Carlos are said to have
long lists of men willing TO serve in the
pretender's cause.
Col Duncan Hood of the Second I'M
mune Regiment is so much better that he

EXPLOSION KILLS FIVE.
Capt. Stewart One OF the Victims of
the Accident.

Wilmington, Del, April 29.-Five men
We're killed and one fatally injured by the
explosion of a powder press at Duponts
smokeless Powder Works to-day at Car
ney's Point, N. j., nearly opposite here
The dead are Capt. Stewart, U. S. A.,
powder inspector: Harvey Smith, Joseph
Yeager, Isaac Frient and Amos Morris,
Jr. workmen.
A workman named Russell was horribly
mangled about the body, and lost the sight
Of both eyes. But he is expected TO live.
The cause Of the explosion is unknown. 1t
occurred shortly after 2 O'Clock. Owing to
the secrecy invariably maintained by
those about the works, but meagre de-
tails leaked out as to the accident. 1t is
believed that Capt. Stewart and one of
the workmen were making a test of some
powder in the press min when the explo-
sion occurred.
The mill was completely wrecked and
number of valuable presses were destroy
ed. Yeager, smith and Frient had
just left the mill. They and Morris
were instantly killed. Capt Stewart was
badly injured and died shortly after.
The noise of the explosion could be
heard plainly in this city, although the
Delaware river separates the two points.
In the vicinity of the powder works the
greatest excitement prevailed. The fam
lies of the workmen focked to the en-
trance of the works and made anxious ef'
forts to learn If any of their family had
been killed. The utmost discipline was
observed within the place Guards were
stationed around the works, and it was
impossible to gain admittance.
Physicians were summoned from points
near by, and members of the firm assisted
in the work of caring for the remains of
the dead and affording the injured men all
the relief they could. AZ the same time
they did all in their power to ease the
minds of the families of the workmen i'm
portuning for news. The loss in money
is not known.

pointed at a mass meeting held this aft
ernoon. The work of relief Is now well
organized.
A peculiar feature of the cyclone was
that out of thirty -one Killed In Kirksville
| twenty-four were women and little girls
This is accounted for by the fact that Tho
| path of the storm was right In the resi-
dence district, and at a time when ths
men had not all returned from business.
| Many terror-stricxen women ran out
doors when the roar of the cyclone came
and in this way were either killed or in
| jured by flying debris.

1t was expected that the Pillsbury-
Washburn Milling Company the WASH
burn-C Crosby and the Northwestern Con-
solidated Companies would go into the
consolidation, but 1t is stated that the Eng
lish shareholders wanted such exorbltant
prices for their holdings that these COM
panies were left out of the consolidation.
The combination is on par with the
American Sugar Refining Company and
the American Tobacco Company In It's
scope and ramification, and was bitterly
fought by the Northwestern trade Jour-
nails and by the Minneapolis milling in
terests from the start
The consolidated company will pay par
ticular attention to the matter of trans
portation and will supply the markets
here and in Europe direct. This will, II
Is alleged, result in enormous saving and
tend to make the business through the
com mbination remunerative.
The bonds and stock OF the company or
combination, have already been offered for
sale, and It Is stated that they have been
largely subscribed for. The combination
may result In a ruinous war between the
trusts and those companies which have
not entered into the consolidation.
