Say IT Can Be Continued indefinitely in
Spite of Our Increased Army.
< MANILA, Oct. 8. -Aguinaldo's third
attempt to shift his difficulties into the
field of diplomacy is the repetition of
the other two, an endeavor to obtain
some sort of recognition of his so-called
government.
The Filipino ENJOYS had conference
with General Otis during the afternoon.
They brought a message from Aguinal-
do that he desired peace and wished to
send civil governmental commissioners
to discuss terms. General Otis replied
that it was impossible for him to rec
ognize Aguinsldo's government in that
way. They presented letter from
Aguinaldo as president of the repub-
lie, /" which was mainly repetition of
his recent dispatches.
General Otis replied that while
Aguinaldo was looked upon as general
Of the insurgent fore es he could not
recognize him as head Of any organized
government, Another conference will
be held.
Their Dfovsments Unrestricted.
The commissions will remain two or
three days. Their movements are ut

Jefferson of the Sixth infantry. They

money among the wounded Filipinos,

While reticent concerning his mission
his conversation threw an interesting
light upon the Filipino view of the
American attitude.
"How long will the Filipino army
withstand $4,000 American troops?" he
was asked.
