Lovsss Of Peace Volunteers Nay
Not be EnIisteti.

Washington. July 10. - Important
csbiegrams have been received at ths
state department from the Philippine
commission and at the war department
from General Otis. concerning . new
move In the direction OF peace. These
dispatches have been Ia the hands OF
the president for several days, but he
has declined TO make them public be-
cause the ultra-optimistic views here
toforc received from the same source
have not been borne out by subsequent
events.
The latest dispatches. however. are
more encouraging than the previous
ones, but the president wishes to have
some positive results before making
them public.
All that can be learned definitely
about them Is that direct overtures for
peace have been sent TO General Otis
by Agninaldo and some of his principal
leaders. IL was said by cabinet off,
GER that n the promises are fulfilled
the volunteers now being enlisted win
not be needed.

SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Capture of An Insurgcnt Letter Saved the
American Army.

American Army.
San Francisco, July 16.-The officers
Of the Second Oregon regiment, while
very guarded in their statements, ad-
NIT that the condition of the American
troops at Manila at the outbreak of
hostilities between Aguinaldo and the
United States was very critical,
The capture of letter sent from in
side our lines in Manila to an emissary
Of Aguinaldo is probably all that saved
our army from terrible disaster and
possible humiliation.
The letter was taken to General
Otis, who found in it the plans of a
plot to open the gates of Manila. sack
the insurgent army to pour into the
the American camps and surprise the
men.
The United States troops were under
arms all night to meet the expected
attempt, but spies had learned of the
capture of the letter, and the only part
of the plot that was carried out was
the burning of portion of the city.

Correspondents Charge That lie Prevents
CHbiiax of Conditions In Philippines
Washington, July ia stir has
been created in the war department
by the charges of the withholding of
facts presenting the true condition of
affairs In the Philippines, which have
been preferred against General Otis
by all the press correspondents at Ma
Mia. The correspondents claim that
the evident purpose, or at least the ef-
fects OF the censorship, was not TO
keep information from the enemy, but
to keep from the people q the United
States . knowledge of the real condi-
tions that prevail in the islands. Sup
porting this, the correspondents assert
that papers published In Manila, which
are regularly carried through the lines
TO the enemy, are permitted to publish
statements similar to those which the
correspondents are forbidden to cable.
General Corbin, in statement, de-
MES that news of occurring events are
suppressed, and upholds the course
pursued by General Otis in this matter
TO be wise and proper.
