Return of the ENJOYS.
Manila, May 3. - Maj. Manuel Ar
guelles and Lieut.. Jose Bernal, OF the
staff OF Gen. Antonio Luna, returned
here Tuesday to renew and press the re-
quest of Gen. Luna for cessation OF
hostilities. They have found the field
of labor a most uncongenial one. The
two officers were received i'm conference
by Maj. Gen. +. s. Otis. The proposals
which they had TO submit differed but
slightly from those which they brought
from the Filipino commander in the first
place. They desired a little time in
which to summon congress, and ex-
pressed themselves as being confident
that the congress will decree peace, be-
cause the people desire il. They repre-
sent that Aguinaldo is without power
TO surrender the army, and that the
congress must decide that question.
Incidentally. the Filipino ENJOYS as
serted that Aguinaldo had not yet made
a fair test of his strength against the
American forces, because only one
third of his army had been assembled
together.
The ENJOYS presented "A letter from
Senior Mabini. president and minister
of foreign affairs in the cabinet of
Aguinaldo, and who is the backbone Of
the Filipino organization. The COM
munication is personal and unofficial
and seconds Col. Arguelles' arguments.
Whether or not Gen. Luna is sincere
in his oyertures, the negotiations are
giving the insurgents a much-needed
opportunity to rehablitate their demon
allied forces. The truth is that dissen-
sions among the leaders of the rebels
is helping on the disorganization of
the Filipino army almost as much as
the American campign.
