Manila, February 27.-Two Spanish CONF
missloners, Senors Rosatio and Abogado
who were permitted to pass through our
lines and confer with Aguinaldo with ref
erence to the Spanish prisoners at Malolos,
returned through our lines this morning,
near Caloocan, with sealed dispatches for
the Spaniards.
The commissioners said that Aguinaldo
and Sandike were both at Malolos, and In
clined to pacific overatures. While tho
flilpinos are not yet prepared to surrender
the Spanish prisoners, they will gladly ie-
lease two Americans, who have been held
for six weeks, on the payment of $50. the
value of food and clothing furnished to
them.
Shortly afterwards the rebels sent out a
flag of truce by Commandant Sinforoso
de Lacrus and several hundred of the ene-
my left the F'ilipinos' lines crying, NO

The commandante said that fullyl 5000 of
his men had had enough and were anxious
to surrender.
Among the enemy in the Jungle many
women and children were visible. A woman
laid down her rifle and crossed over to the
trucers, but she was sent back After the
party returned to the American lines the
enemy on the right fired a volley, the bul-
lets dropping at their feet.

ARMY BILL PASSES.
No Provision for Permanent Increase in
the Military Arm.

Washington, February N-After a con-
test that will be memorable In the history
of the senate, the compromise army reor-
ganization bill was passed this evening at
7:10. When the senate convened at IL
o'clock this morning 1t seemed more than
likely that the bill might not be passed
during the day. Mr.. German insisted that
his amendment providing that the army
should not be increased permanently or
beyond July /, 1901. be Incorporated in the
measure. For several hours 1t appeared
probable that this insistence at least would
throw the bill over until tomorrow and
perhaps defeat 1t. An agreement was
reached, however, and Mr.. Germans
amendment in slightly modified form was
accepted.
The notable speech of the day against
the measure was delivered by Mr.. Vest,
but his brilliant eloquence ayailed nothing
against the measure as finally agreed upon.
Tonight the senate took up the sundry
civil bill and completed its reading, all the
committee amendments being agreed to ex-
cept those relating to the District of Co.
lusnbia. The bill was then laid aside 70
Dc completed tomorrow.

ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE

Washington, February H.-At caucus
of the democratic members of the house
of representatives held tonight the follow
ing declaration of policy and resolutions as
to the Philippines were adopted:
We hold that the constitution OF the
United States was ordained and established
for an intelligent, liberty-loving and self
governing people and cannot be successfully
applied to a people of different virtues and
conditions. We therefore hold that colon
ial policy is contrary to the theory of our
government and subversive of those prin-
ciples of civil liberty which we have been
taught to cherish. We believed with the
declaration OF independence that all gov
ernments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed and we are
unalterably opposed to the establishment
of any government by the United States
without the consent Of the people to be
governed and In conformity with these
principles we instruct the minority men,
bers of the foreign affairs committee to in
troduce and urge the following resolutions:
''Resolved, That the United States here
by discaim any disposition or intention to
exercise permanent authority over the
Philippines and assert their determlnatlOn
when a permanent government shall be
erected therein to transfer said govern
ment upon terms which shall be reasonable
and all rights in the cession by Spain and
thereupon to leave the government and
control to the people of the islands.
The attendance at the caucus was large,
and little division of sentiment was mani
Tested on the general features of the reso-
lutions. The first resolution was offered by
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, from the demo-
cratic members foreign affairs committee,
and was the text of the speeches. Among
those who spoke were Representatives
Bailey, Allen. Gaines, Wheeler (Ala.),
Lentz and Cowherd.
The speech of General Wheeler was nota-
BILE in differing from the prevailing view.
He urged that nothing should be done
which could be construed as a lack of sup
port to our soldiers. The hands of the
president should be upheld when fighting
was going on. AS a matter of expediency,
also, he urged that the party should not
oppose war. Wars were popular, he de-
clared, and at the present time the spirit
of the people was shown by the fact that
every boy had his drum and sword while
the mothers were proud of this patriotic
spirit.
The votes were practically unanimous on
the two resolutions adopted and the Liv-
ingstone resolution was defeated by a large
majority.

THE GOVERNMENT NOTIFIED

Kansas City, February 2z-The detach-
ment or the filibustering expedition organ
lied her for an invasion of Central Amer
lea, left Kansas City at 1920 o'clock to-
night. The soldiers of fortune numbered
special coaches which were attached to the
regular southbound passenger train o. the
Kansas City, Eft. Scott and Texas rod.
William G. Thompson, former captain Of
Company d, Fifth Missouri volunteers, was
in command. On the same train as regular
passengers We're Captain George P. Whit
sett, late of Company G., Fifth Missouri
volunteers Captain A. M. Casey, late of
Company M, Third Missouri, and T. A.
Whitten, a lawyer, who has been active In
recruiting the adventurers. The filibusters
expect to take ship at Mobile or New Or
leans, though the majority of them have
not been fully advised, and at the port of
embarkation they expect to be Joined by
other detachments from st. Louis, Chicago
and other cities. 1t Is now known beyond
question that the men composing this ex-
peditfon expect to see fighting in Central
America. Reports as to their destination
have been conflicting, both Guatemala and
Honduras having been mentioned, but men
who are leaders in the adventure have Sc
cretly informed their friends that the zeal
destination is Nicaragua. The men enlist
ing have been assured that the invaders
have good backing, and have been told
that capitalists of national prominence are
furnishing the money to equip, transport
and arm the expedition. Whatever the
destination the men are said to have been
promised rich rewards in lands and in con-
cessions.
T. A. Whitten, lawyer, who has been
active in organizing the companies here,
and who left with the men tonight, de-
clared that the men had been hired to
work on a railroad.
Major Warner, United States district at
torney and United States Marshal Durham
investigated the affair today, but when the
band started south tonight both declared
that they had discovered nothing to war;
rant the arrest of the alleged invaders.
They have advised the Washington author
tiles fully.

Cen. ACU|NALDO NOW INCLINED
To MAKE PACIFIC OVERTURES
The Filipino Leader Has Evidently Had Enough Of War With
the Americans,

1t is claimed in defense OF the miners
that some of the clauses in tho ultimatum
which they presented to the operators are
the subjects of proposed legislation at the
present session of the Arkansas legislature.
This is notably the case. the miners say,
in regard to their demands, that all coal
shall be weighed before being screened and
that 1000 pounds shall constitute a ton. A
bill has already passed the house compell-
ing the companies to pay the miners semi
monthly.
General Manager Henry Wood, of the
Choctaw railroad who is in Little Rock,
attributes the present labor troubles to the
work of James Boston, an official of the
United Mine Workers of America, who,
he claims, was sent to the coal district to
organize the men and make demands for a
scale of prices. Mr. Wood says that ex-
perience demonstrates that coal cannot
properly be conducted on a mine-run basis.
He claims that the Choctaw, Oklahoma and
G. F. railway has expended $4,000 at least
the past year on their mines more than
they have received. He considers the ad-
dress posted by the Western Coal and
Mining company fair statement and is
firm in his assertion that the operators will
make no concessions to the men.

hopeful. We are endeavoring to keep him
alive by administering oxygen and by feed
ing him the blood extract of beef. The
crisis, we think, will come this morning.
1t is safe to say at the close of the day If
Mr.. Kipling is still alive we may have great
hope for his recovery"
Hope of Recovery
Later In the day close friends of Mr.. Kip
ling guardedly expressed hopefulness
that was not apparent last night. Mr..
Doubleday said that the author had passed
a better night than could have been ex-
pected, and was visibly better and resting
easier at $50 this morning, though in still
such dangerous condition that no one
could tell what any hour might bring forth.
Still Mr.. Doubleday had strong hopes that
Mr.. Kipling would pass through the Ill
ness successfully.
Mrs. Kipling is said to be bearing up
well under the terrible strain.
The hotel where Kipling is stopping was
again crowded this morning with callers,
all sorts and conditions of men and women
tremendously anxious to know how it Jared

den.".

during the past few days has been due to
the advance of the Inflammation upwards,

ing the crisis in the patients case, which
1t is said will occur today. He said:
