SURGENT GOVERNMENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. "A dispatch
from General Otis was received at the
War Department this morning giving
an account of his meeting with the
insurgent ENJOYS. General Otis said
the interview with Aguinaldo's repre-
sentatives indicated that the leaders
were maneuvering solely with a view
to secure recognition of the insurgent
government. All such overtures were
rejected and the ENJOYS were informed
that the only thing the United States
would recognize was a white flag and
the grounding of arms.
The course of General Otis is approv-
ed at the War Department.
Secretary Root took the dispatch
from General Otis over to the White
