Gen. Otis cables the war department that
representatives of Aguinaldo are seeking
terms of peace and that the forces of the
insurgents are scattering in the mountains.
Following is Gen. Otis's cablegram:
Representatives insurgent cabinet and
Aguinaldo in mountains II miles north

will send in commission tomorrow to
seek terms of peace. Majority of force

orable."
Two Spanish prisoners who have arrived
at Manila from Neuva Ecika say Aguinaldo
has lost prestige with the native army,
which is described as being completely de-
moralized, short of food, suffering from
disease and afraid of the Americans, and
rapidly dissolying into armed bands of pill
layers.
The prisoners add that Gems. Pillar and

the compromise agreement whereby the
Spaniards hoped to conciliate the rebel lead

of the country and is afraid to surrender.
A special despatch to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat from Manila says:
1t is reported here that Aguinaldo has

fered by the American Philippine COM
mission and that he has started his repre-
sentatives from San Isidro for Manila. He
is said to have reached this decision at a
conference held at San Isidro the day be-

took place after the decision for peace had
been reached. The reports are believed
here, and that final peace is assured

Otis for relief for his countrymen, who,

Fire on an Ocean liner.

The North German Lloyd steamer Bar
barossa, which started for Bremen yester-
day morning, put back into New York har-
Dor yesterday afternoon with fire raging in
her hold. Smoke was discovered issuing
from the forward compartment just as she
was passing through the Narrows and the
ship immediately turned around and started
for her dock in Hoboken. On her way up
the harbor she colided with several
smaller craft, sinking two barges and dam
aging others. The Barbarossa also struck
the Bretagne, French liner, and stove a
large hole in her. AS soon as she reached
her dock the passengers, 500 cabin and
about the same number of steerage, were
sent ashore and the hold of the ship
flooded. The fire was in a compartment
which contained about 5000 bales of cot
ton,

Account
1t being a fact definitely known that
Admiral Dewey will return home before
the end of the summer, and probably with
in few weeks, it is question for imme-
date consideration what part Vermont
shall take in showing him honor. 1t is
undoubtedly settled already that a fine
house will be given him in Washington.
and with it a handsome sum of money
raised by popular subscription. But, be-
sides this, and entirely apart from it, the
personal reception to him will be such an
one as this country has never before seen.
Those who have not read carefully the
daily papers, and especially those who
have not been recently in any of the great
centres of life, like New York, Chicago, or
Washington, have no idea of the intensity
of the feeling toward the Admiral, or how
distinctively he is the popular hero-the
idol of the peoples heart. His achieve
ment at Manila and his strong, self.con-
tanned, level-headed and modest course
since the great event of May l, 1898, have
won upon the public feeling as have the
achievements of no other man in recent
times. Wherever Dewey appears the peo-
pie will go wild. Strenuous efforts will be
made to secure visit from him in every
leading city. He will literally own the
country and nothing will be too good for
him. So much is assured.
Vermont's feeling for her son will not
count as a large factor in this general out
pouring, but the state ought, nevertheless,
to show the country, and especially to
show Admiral Dewey, in some distinctive
way, that she claims him as her own and
is proud of him. What form this express
sion shall take it is not easy to say off
hand, but it is a matter to be thought
about, and that right away.
1t is not an occasion for any one Yer
monter or for few Vermonters to disport
themselves at the public expense and gain
little cheap notoriety. 1t is something
for all the people of the state to have a
part in. What shall we do about it,
What shall the expression be?

Clarence Eddy, formerly of Montpelier,
who has been designated as national or
ganist for the Paris exposition, is at work
upon a scheme to show the advancement
of the United States in music. While the
details have not been perfected, the gener-
al outline has been sufficiently laid out to
indicate the scope of the undertaking. II
is his purpose to take the leading vocal
and instrumental artists of this country to
the exposition and give a series of concerts
and recitals in the Trocadero and also to
have the United States worthily represent
ed in the musical congresses. Heis also in
favor of having the Chicago orchestra 90 to
Paris, with Theodore Thomas at its head.

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1890.

1t was good meeting which the Wind
ham county board of road commissioners,
constituted under the law of 1898, held at
the. selectmen's room in Brattleboro Tues
day. There was two hours of informal
practical talk which must have been
mutually helpful. The 21 commissioners
present from as many towns had the ap-
pearance of level-headed, self-contained
body of men who are trying to use the
highway money to the best advantage pos
sble. Mr.. Wall, the state commissioner.
impressed one as man who knows his
own business, who has no crotchets or pet
notions, and whose main purpose is to get
start toward permanent highway i'm

An Exchange accommodates.

Twas kind, benevolent Englishman,
Who said, II have a most excellent plan,
I'm sure love the Americans well,
But you know they never have learned to
spell.
So I'll load a ship with a cargo of us,
And send her over and change their views;
For the N should be, as everyone knows,
In neighbour and 'labour' and words like
thp~rf
Ar :. friends must learn and never for
get
The accurate use of the alphabet"
So the ship arrived with its precious
freight
To bring photography up TO date;
And the Yankees slowed the letters away
For possible use on a future day,
And lest the ship should cargo lack,
Filled her with chs" and sent her back.

Washington officials Believe Terms

War department officials at Washington
are firmly convinced that the end of the in
surrection in the Philippines is at hand.
and that the representatives of the insur-
gent cabinet and of Aguinaldo, who are to
meet Gen. Otis today, will succumb to the
inevitable and surrender. Their forces. IL
is said at the department, evidently are SO
demoralized by The persistent advance of
the Americans that they are ready to ac-
cept peace on the best terms they can oh
tain. Driven nOrthward to the foothills of
the mountains, their fleeing and scattered
forces disintegrated and disheartened. no
longer can be made TO face our victorious
advance. Less than a week ago Gen. Lu-
ma was reported just north of San Fernad-
DO, where Gen. MacArthur's troops are con-
centrated, and in the neghborhood of Ba-
color with about 5000 rebels.
1t is reported at Manila that Aguinaldo
has decided TO accept terms of peace Of
fered by American Philippine commission,
and that he has started his representatives
from San lsidro for Manila. He is said to

ter the decision for peace had been reached.
The reports are believed here and the final
peace is assured
Gen. Otis reports that the remnant of
this force, about 2j00 men, has withdrawn
to Tarlac, over 20 miles north of San Fer
nando. 1t is probable that the rema nder
of the force moved east and Joined the
main body of the insurgents, which aban-
doned San Isidro Wednesday and fled
northward to the point from which Aguin-
aldo is now sending his commissioners to
sue for peace II this is a ruse to gain
time, which none of the officials at the
war department believe, it will avail them
nothing, as the Americans will utilize the
period during the interval in reconnoiter-
ing the country ahead of them preparato-
ry to the resumption of operations the
minute negotiations fail.
The despatch of two battalions of the
23d infantry Wednesday to Jolo, the prin-
cipal town in the Sula archipelago, is the
fourth military expedition detached from
the main body of our troops at Manila.
The Sulu archipelago is group of
$50 small islands south of the Philippines.
There are no insurgents as far as known in
the Sulu group. The population of the
islands consists of aborigines, Chinese
traders and negroes.

court at Detroit Wednesday on petition of
Frederick H. Prince of Boston, appointed
Percival W. Clements of Rutland receiver

foregone conclusion that Senator Eugene

all idea of opposition having vanished.
The nomination was made by a grand
chorus of ayes, not no being heard.

applause several times. and received an
ovation at the close.
Senator Hale referred to the question of
expansion, saying: Upon the question
which, perhaps, today is occupying mems
minds more than any other, the question of
what is called expansion, there are two
sides. l am not an expansionist. I dread
the annexation of territory thousands of
