AGUINAlDO'S APPEAL.

Asked for an ArmistiCe, Pending the De-
cision Of the Filipino Congress as to What
Policy Should be- Adopted-The Request
Refused by Gen. Otis.
Manila, Philippine Islands, May 90.
10 n. m.--Gen. Gregorio del Pillar,
commander of the insurgent forces iu
front of Gen. Lawton' S division, Lieut..
Col. Alberto Barreto, judge-advocate !;
Major Zealcita of Aguinaldo's staff,
and Senior Graciognzaga,a a former mem-
ber of the Filipino cabinet, the COM
missioners appointed to 90. operate with
Seniors Florentine Torres, Pablo Campo
and Teodore Yanco of Manila, fer the
purpose of negotiating terms of peace
with the American commissioners,
reached Manila, by special train from
Malolos, at 8. Is o'clock this morning.
The party were met by Lieut.. Col.
Barry, and conducted from the train to
the launch Captain, and taken to the
palace at Galacanan, and, after break
fast, were driven through the city to
the Ayuntamiente.
The party were closeted with Gen.
Otis for more than an hour, but the in
terview was decidedly unsatisfactory,
the commissioners having nothing
definite to propose, and being unem-
powered to negotiate terms. The COM
missioners brought communication
direct from Aguinaldo, asking for an
armistice, pending the decision of the
Filipino Congress as to what policy
should be adopted. As before, Gen.
Otis refused to entertain the PROPOSE
tion.
The comm issioners, after leaving the
City Hall, accepted an invitation to
visit the Oregon and the other vessels
of the American fleet in the bay, and
they were also granted permission to
see their families before returning.

Notwithstanding the fact that workers
in all parts of the city ondeavored to
get the full vote out, only J07 ballots
were cast in the entire city. 1t was
expected that the party would make a
better showing, some expressing the
belief that there would be n larger
vote than at the Regular primaries,
when about 1,200 votes were polled.
As far rs is known, the election was
conducted according to the Primary
Election law in every way. There were
Regular Republican spoilers at all of
the polling places. In some instances
they were invited inside the room and
in other places the election officers re
quired them to remain outside.
The contest between Staats and
Curry was lively all over the city, but
the bulk of the Union Republican

being fought strictly on Boer and anti
Boer lines. The Liberal candidate.
Harold Spender, declares that the war
was brought about as much by the
laundering of Joseph Chamberlain as
by the cbstinaey Of the Transvaal gov
eminent. On the other hand, the Con-
sentative candidate. William Guthrie,
asserted that the scandalous arrogance
OF the Beers was alone responsible for
the hostilities. Both join in a wish
that victory may attend the British
arms, but this does not deter the elec-
tors from creating little war of their
own.
One of the most curious features Of
the mobilization has been the inocula-
ton Of troops against enteric fever.
This was not made compulsory, but the
company commanders were instructed
to urge the men to allow themselves
to be inoculated, and most of them have
undergone the ordeal. Although med
ical men differ greatly as to the utility
of the virus, the percentage of enteric
fever in the British ranks will be ca
gerly watched by foreign military ex-
perts Should it turn out to be re-
markable small, it is more than likely
that all the European troops will be
inoeulated before going to countries in
tested by the enteric germs.
The war Office continues to receive
offers for volunteer service from all
parts of the country. Col Sir Charles
Edward Howard Vincent officially re-
pcated his proposal to raise thousand
marksmen for service in South Africa
at his own expense. Col. Vincent is the
commandant of the Queens Westmin-
ster Volunteers, one of the crack regi-
ments, and ever since his offer was first
published he has been inundated with
requests from those anxious to serve.
Many of the applicants are of good So
cial position, including several clergy
men. They hail from points as far apart
as Bombay Halifax and San Fran
cisco. A Canadian offered Col. Vim
cent to bear the entire expense OF 100
men throughout the campaign.
One of the problems left entirely to
Gen. Sir Redyers Butler. in supreme
command, is the punishment of nom
combataRts who take part in the hos
tilities. The task of distinguishing
their status is very difficult, as compar-
atively few Beers wear uniform. It
is said that the treatment he will adj
minister to the German and Irish vol
unteers under the Transvaa1 flag will
not be more merciful than were Won
Moltke's dealing with Franco-Tiruers.
The bitter anti-British feeling that
exists in France is varied in its ex-
treme manifestation by the Echo de
Paris, which says: 1--WE shall join in
the whispered prayer that, out there
beyond the seas and beyond immense
Africa, Gen. Joubert, a good, old round
shouldered general whose ancestors
were Frenchmen, will give us our re-
venge for Fashoda."

The Pyramid Pile Cure is a sue
cess because 1t has the merit which
brings success It cures every
form of piles and cures them to
stay cured. 1t is now the most
popular and best known pile renl-
edy before the public, and one rca-
son for its great popularity is be-
cause it has taken the place OF sur
glcal operations, once considered
the only sure cure.
People often wonder that SO sim
pIA q remedy will promptly
cure such an obstinate trouble as
piles are well known to be. Yet
the greatest remedies and great
est inventions we have are the
simplest, and the fact that it does
cure is all the sufferer from piles
wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures
piles in any stage of the disease as
shown by the following testimonial
letters which are published every
week and new cases reported each
time:
From Geo. C. Check, Owens Mill,
Mo-: Some time ago / bought a
package Of Pyramid Pile Cure for
my wife who had suffered very
much. The first trial did her more
good than anything she had ever
tried. 1t is Just as represented.
From Richard Loan. Whipple,
Ohio: l have used the Pyramid
and am entirely pleased and SAL
isfied with results. 1t does the
work and no mistake.
Mr.. w. r. Hines, Of Magnolia,
Ark, Says: Although | have used
the Pyramid Pile Cure only a very
short time, yet it has been very
beneficial to me.
From Mrs. Peter Lake. Mohawk,
N. Y, l received the Pyramid Pile
Cure, but put off using it until
last week, when I became so bad |
decided to try it. l have suffered
twenty-nine years with bleeding
piles and have used a great deal of
medicine, but never had anything
that did so much for me as your
remedy.
The proprietors of this remedy
could publish columns of similar
letters to the above if necessary,
but these are enough to show what
it will do in different cases.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of
Marshall, Mich, and for sale by
druggists everywhere at so cents
per package. One package is suf-
ficient to cure any ordinary case.

upwards of 300 Beers were wounded at

appear to have reoccupied the scene OF
the fighting, as an attempt to recover
the bodies of the British failed, owing,
it is alleged, to the Beers refusing to
