sion for a Filipino commission. headed
by Filipino major general. to visit
Gen. Otis in order to discuss peace
1erms and to arrange for the delivery
OF more American prisoners. that tn
desired interview cannot be granted

must continue to decline to receive
any representative OF the so-called
Filipino government.

business. The Philippines are a rich
country, and capable OF great CONNER
cial development. our prestige lin the |

OF our war. We stand in a position to
command the wonderful trade IL we
will only grasp the situation"

BY GENERAL YOUNG

MANILA. Dec. S.-There was consider
able relief in Manila when the news was
received to-day that General Youngs
small force had arrived safely at Vigan.

known that General Limo had a large. ag-
gressive body OF insurgents operating in
the vicinity.
General Limo made a stand In the
mountain pass between Narvacan and San
Qu!nto. The natural strength OF the posi-
tion was augmented by trenches and pitt
falls The fight lasted five hours. General
Young had three companies OF the Thirty
fourth Infantry, under Lieutenant Colonel
Robert L. Howe; the troops OF the Third
Cavalry, Captain Swigert commanding.
and one troop under Captain Chase. He
was reinforced during the fight by Colonel
