THE MAsk Thrown orr.
Emirsnrics Admit That They Were
SeMl hN AEuinnIhO

Manila, May ,, s p. m.-Jhe Filipino en-
voys, Major Manuel Arguecses aud Lieu
tenant Jose Bernal, have abandoned tho
pretense under which they came TO Gem
eral Otis that they represented General
Antonio Luna, and today they announced
that they came as representatives Of
Agulnaldo himself -Ffhc omissaries used
all their wies to secure a reply from Gem
eral Otis 10 he letter from Senior Mabini,
Aguinsldo's prime minister and minister
Of foreign affairs in the dctators cabinet,
which they presented to General Otis on
yesterday hut General Otis refused to
make any reply on the ground that to do
so would be equivalent TO a recognition Of
the so-called government OF the Fllpinos.
Major Argueleses said that Aguinaldn
knew he would be overpowered in time,
but that he would be able to continue the
fight for months and that he would do 30
unless he were given what Major Argue
leses termed peace with dignity.
Mr.. Schurmann, he president of The
United States Philippine commission, ex-
presses the opinion that the interviews
accorded by General Otis TO the PHILIPPINE
representatives will have a good moral CT
fact as tending to convince Agulnaldo's
representatives that American authorities
mean to give the Filipiuos a good govern
ment and not one OF the Spanish sort.
Certainly it has been civillzng in
liuence in inducing them TO observe the
amenities Of war and consent to the Amer
leans furnishing food for the American
! prisoners.

gent lines continues

General Hale has returned to co operate
with General Lawton
| Al Balb0g last evening there was a
running fight in the course of which one
/ American soldier was killed and three
were wounded. The natives scattered be-
fore General Lawton and General Hale
Yesterday while Captain Whelan Of the
Fourth cavalry was covering General
Hsle's advance, he encountered large
body of Filiplncs at Pulitan. The cavalry
opened fire but there wSs no response.
Thinking that the natives wanted to sur
render, Lieutenant Bell went forward to
parley with them. The Fiipinos replied
that they did not wish to surrender. but
that they had been ordered TO refrain from
iighting during the negotiations. They
asked that Lieutenant Bell give them half
an hour In which to retire, which they inn
proved.
A Spanish prisoner who escaped into
the American lines reports that after Cen
eral Hale's advance at Quingan 200
ITilipinos were buried. This is the largest
number OF natives that have been killed
in any engagement for several months.

Iation From General Otis.
Manila, May ., 10 p. m.-There was a
conference lasting two hours today be-
tween Major General Otis and the repre-
sentatives who came here from General
Antonio Luna bearing a proposal for a
cessation of hostilities.
General Otis adhered to his refusal to
rec gnize the so-called government of the
insurgents.
The Filpmos ask for a truce of three
months to enable Aguinaldo to summon
the congress and consult with tho insur-
gent leaders and others on the islands
The ENJOYS admitted the contention of
General Otis that Aguinaldo has little con-
troll Of affairs outside OF the island OF
Luzon. The question of the release of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands Of the
Fllipinos being mentioned Major Manuel
Argueleses, tho chief member of the depu-
tation, said that he considered them as
being in the same category with the
Americans, the United States being tho
successor Of Spain in dominion over the
Island and acquiring by treaty all Spanish
rights and obligations
AT the close Of The conference with Gem
eral Otis the Filipino ENJOYS had a consul

Washington. May General Otis made
no mention in his report to the war de-
psrtment today of the progress of the nc
gotiations with the insurgents for the ces-
sation of hostilities, but that fact did not
abate the confidence the officials have in
the ultimate success of the pending at
temps to arrive at an understanding.
There is belief at the war department
the the Filipino leaders are thoroughly
discouraged and it Is suspected that the
next step in the peace negotiations will
be a wholesale effort on the part of the
individual Filipnos in the insurgent ranks
to make the terms for themselves without
reference TO others Meanwhile there may
be some small engagements between the
outposts, but nothing like a general bat
