Successful Progress of Colonel
Kobbe's Expedition Up the
Rio Grande.

MANILA, May 22.-10 a. m.-General
Gregoria del Pillar, commander of the
insurgent forces in front of General
Lawton's division; Lieutenant Colonel
Alberto Barretto, judge advocate; Major
Zealoita, of Aguinaldo's staff, and Senior
Graciognzaga, former member of the
Filipino cabinet, the commissioners ap-
pointed to cooperate with Senores Flo
rentino Torres, Fable Campo and Teo-
dore Yanco of Manila, for the purpose
of negotiating terms of peace with the
American commissioners, reached Ma
Mia by special train from Malolos at
6:25 a, m.
The party was met by Lieutenant
Colonel Barry, adjutant general, and
conducted from the train to the launch
Captain and taken to the palace at
Galacanan, and after breakfast were
driven through the city to the Ayun-
tamiente.
The party was closeted with General
Otis for more than an hour; but the in
terview was decidedly unsatisfactory,
the commission having nothing to pro-
pose and unempowered to negotiate
terms. The commissioners brought a
communication direct from Aguinaldo
asking for an armistice pending the
direction of the Filipino congress as to
what policy should be adopted, AS be-
fore, General Otis refused to entertain
the proposition.
The commissioners, 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.

Personally Pleased With the Plan,
But Cannot Endorse 1t

Difference of Opinion Between
Civil and Military Com
miSSiOnerS.
Military Believe No Concessions
Should Be Made Previous
to Surrender.

MANILA, May 24.-The Filipino COM
missioners spent the day at the resi-
dence of the American commissioners
They discussed every point Of the
scheme OF government and the peace
proclamat ton details, asking for infor-
nation as to what personal rights would
be guaranteed them.
Colonel Charles DENLY Of the Ameri-
can commission explained that they
would be the same as under the United
States constitution. The Filipinos ALSO
desired information as to the school
system to be established, and approved
of the American policy of the Apara.
ton of church and state. They chiefly
objected to the scheme on the ground
that it gave /, them personal liberty,
which they knew they would have, but
did not give them political liberty.
Finally the Filipinos said they were
personally pleased with the plan but
could not endorse it officially.
During the day the Filipino commits
sioners called upon Major General Otis
and they will repeat their call in the
morning.
Enjoying Themselves.
There is much comment here on the
outing the Filipino ENJOYS are enjoying.
They are arrayed in blue coats with
scarlet trousers and gold lace and drive
about the city, revelling in the attention
bestowed on them, which is evidently
exceedingly gratifying to them. They
are the centers of continual levees at
Filipino houses, where they have been
entertained and have had every oppor-
tunity to advance the interests of the
instruction. Military sentiment dis
approves of the Filipinos being lionized
by their civilian element.
General Otis, from ante-bellum ex-
perience and knowing the Filipinos'
fondness of discussion, has maintained
the attitude he assumed with the first
commission. He has had no offer to
make the Filipinos, save that they lay
down their arms without terms. The
army believes that if we intend to re-
main in the Philippine islands it will be
cheaper in the long run to whip the in
surgents so thoroughly that they will be
Glad of Opportunity to Surrender.
rather than to parley with them and
make terms which they would construe
as compromise. The army is also of
the opinion that while the first course
may cost more men and more money in
the beginning than the latter, it will
prove an effectual damper upon future
instruction; whereas, if the war is
ended by compromise, the professional
revolutionists among the Tagals will be
encouraged to try again in few years.
Professor Schurman, speaking of the
commissions policy, said:

cause they thought us weaklings and

Citation should accompany force. My

boats steamed ahead, all the way train
ing their Calling guns upon the banks
and dropping shells wherever uniforms
appeared on the shore. The gunboats
dispersed the insurgents before San
Luis. After they had passed, sharp
shooters from trees across the river a
hundred yards distant, harassed the
Seventeenth infantry which was march
ing by tours along the narrow, wooded
road, from which the troops were un-
able to see the enemy. The members of
one battalion laid on their faces in the
road for quarter of an hour trying to
locate the rihemen and return their fire.
Two Americans were wounded.
The road wound close to the stream,
and was thickly settled. 1t was pic
turesque march. Many groups of hun
dreds of natives were clustered under
the trees on the opposite banks, dis
playing white shirts, towels, sheets or
anything white, on poles. Some shouted
welcomes to the American soldiers, but
most of them maintained sullen ST.
lence.
An old man in carriage met the
troops two miles outside of the town.
He said: 81 have lived in England and
have told the people that the Ameri-

Half Afraid of Massacre.
Captain Grant, in command Of the
gunboats, landed before the troops ar
rived and met with porto Rican'

bled on the shore, crowded about the
Americans with fulsome expressions of
friendship, apparently half afraid that
they would be massacred.
Captain Grant quickly distributed
the men from the gunboat La Guna de

sent messenger to tell the people, who

A Capuchin priest, one of the few
whom Filipinos had not imprisoned,
was found at Candaba. He said it was
useless to try to convince the natives the
Americans had not come to Cypress them,
as they believed their leaders, who had
strongly impressed this belief upon
them, and who have been told stories OF
massacres, rape and Filipino victories.
The walls of the towns were placarded
with the reports of the slaughter OF

said to have been taken prisoners.

The market holds in a very strong
position, with the tendency yet higher.
The London market opened June 81
with prices 7h@1 per cent. higher ON
fine merinos and good crossbreds, with
low grades of the latter lower. The
strength of fine woods in London will
be apt to start more domestic woods
abroad, as this is about their only
source of supply available. Prices as
compared with last week are not
materially different, except that the
one is stronger. About 46@48 cents
secured is the price of fine medium
and fine, with staple lots at 50@52
cents. Many holders will not sell at
these figures, as they have set their
views toward considerably higher
prices. Few new fleeces have been
opened as yet, while old leeces are
about cleaned up. Sales in Boston for
the week foot up $500, 900 pounds do
nestle, including $500, 900 pounds terri
tory grades and 1900, 900 pounds for
eign, about 1,550,0 900 pounds of which
was Australian. The latter woods are
very firm and being taken more freely
by manufacturers.

DRY GOODS

Bradstreet's.
Business continues quiet in nearly
all departments with stocks being re-
duced as much as possible for semi
annual inventory. The first days OF
next week will show no business, as
the houses will close until July 5 on
account OF the holiday. Cotton fabrics
hold in a strong position, with mills
largely contracted ahead, and the
weaker tone to raw cotton does not
affect values. Printed fabrics are sea-
sonably quiet, but stocks have cleaned
up very well and the outlook is good.
Ginghams are steady and in good
shape. Dress woolens are well sold
ahead for fall, and deliveries will begin
after July 4. Mems wear woolens are
firmer, with 5 to 12R cents advance
asked for recorders on Jerseys, fancy
worsteds and clay %diagonals for fall.
Spring samples will be shown in a few
weeks.
