Give the Rebels a Reception.
MANILA, May 2O.-Maj. Gen. Otis has
declined to recognize the rebels to the
extent of agreeing to an armistice, but
he has notified the American commanders
to refrain temporarily from aggressive
action. Thus he is in a position to re-
sumo hostilities at any time. This will
defeat any subterfuges to gain time
which would not be the case II the gen
era agreed to an armistice.
The Filipinos are so deceptive that peo-
pie hesitate to credit with good faith their
latest overtures. But more attention is
now paid to them than was paid to their
previous advances. The Filipino commits
sion is acting under instructions from
Aguinaldo, and the congress, but 1t is
possible that if peace is arranged Gen
erals Luna and Pic del Pillar and their fol-
lowers will continue a guerilla warfare.
AT Hoilo an attack on the Americans
was recently expected. The Filipino lead

10000 bolo men, and had the impudence
to send an ultimatum to the American
commander, ordering him to leave the ISL

NEW YORK, May 2O-The F;nancier
says:
1.-THE heavy liquidation which marked
the stock exchange operations OF the
week particularly at the opening, is
largely responsible for the reduction. OF
$7,243, 900 shown in the loan item OF the
current statement Of the New York Clear
ing House banks. The reserve liability,
owing to the slight change in deposits,
remained at about the same figure re-
ported for the previous week, SO that the
increase of 1854, 500 in cash went for the
most part to swell idle reserves, the sur
plus rising to $34, e31 ,525, the highest point
reported since the middle of last Febru-
ary> In fact, the various items CORE
spond closely to the statement made at
that time.
Since the opening Of March the, loans
of the banks have been reduced $i7, 0o0, 900.
deposits have fallen off So, 500 coo. and
cash has increased no less than SIT .OO0 600.
This will serve to show the extent of the
liquidation that has taken place IN lit
tie over sixty days. How. much further
1t will be continued cannot be predicted,
but the outlook seems to assure an in
definite period of easy money.
THE present accumulation of funds In
the clearing house Institutions is the larg
est ever recorded. or course the recent
rapid increase has been due to the settle
ment of the Spanish indemnity, which in
volved a transfer of $40, 000, 0o0 but aside
from that the interior banks have been
sending money to this center, and the rise
in domestic exchange does not indicate
that the movement is over, by any
means.
THE piling up Of money here and the
consequent lowering of interest rates is
affecting sterling exchange, but 1t Is
thought that the quotations will be kept
well below the exporting point. The pc
culiarly entrenched position Of the treas
ury to regulate interest rates Is not to be
overlooked in this particular. AS far as
significance can be attached to the cur
rent statement, the final payment of the
Spanish fund, the stock market liquida-
ton, and the trend of money from the
interior are the only factors to be con-
sidered. The totals are about as expect
ed, and there is nothing to warrant ex-
pectations CT heavy changes for some
weeks to come"

Custody of Cuban Arms Is Satisfac-

Interfere With Gen. Brooke. Any
way-Sftuation In Havana Seems
to Have Cleared Up for Good.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-It is believed
that whatever difficulty has existed as to
the disposition Of weapons held by the
Cuban soldiers has been removed by the
action taken by Secretary Alger today.
He has instructed Gen. Brooke to begin
at once the payment of the 100000 set
aside for the payment of the Cuban SOL
diers, being entirely satisfied with the
provision made by Gen. Brooke for the
safe keeping Of the arms that must be
surrendered in consideration of a share
of the money. s
There has been less correspondence on
/ this subject of late between Secretary
Alger and Gen. Brooke than has been
generally supposed Last Wednesday
che latter cabled the war department that
he proposed to begin the payment of
money to the Cubans, the arms to go into
the custody of the majors. Secretary Al
ger did not reply to this, as it concerned
matter in which the president himself
had given instructions. Today Gen.
Brooke was again heard from, this time
saying he saw in the press reports that
the secretary of war did not approve
of the plan he had formed. He explained
that, all the arms were to be deposited
in the arsenal at Havana and the arsen-
al at Santiago. This statement changed
the case completely, for the arsenals be-
ing in the possession of the United
States the requirement of the presidents
conditions were fully met by the proposed
arrangement. Therefore Secretary AL
ger, after submitting the matter to the
president this evening, cabled Gen.
Brooke to proceed Immediately with the
payment of the money to the Cubans.

MANILA. May 20-Col. Kobbe's eXpedi-

shooters from trees across the river, q

by tours along the narrow, wooded road,

oLYMPIA's ITINERARY.
1t Will BE Made Public by Navy De-

WASHINGTON, May $3.50 far the
navy department knows nothing except
in the most general way of the itinerary
of Admiral Deweys cruise from Manila
TO New York He has reported simply
that he will come by the Suez route and
has not Indicated officially how long he
will take in making the trip. The ac-
%ual departure of the Olympia was made
known in the following five words, COM
Ing by cable from Capt. Parker at Man
la:
Olympia, Hong Kong. Assumed com
mand."
The understanding at the department
is that the admiral will spend two weeks
at Hong Kong, for the Olympia is to be
docked and her dIab war paint must be
covered with the spotless white which
makes the American naval ship the most
beautiful in the world.
In the absence of other information
It is assumed that the Olympia from Hong
Kong will follow the usual course Of
warships coming home by way of the
Suez canal. She will touch first after
Hong Kong at Singapore, then at Colon

trance of the Red sea, to take on a crew
of Lascars to fire the boilers in the in
tensely hot passage through that sea and

Suez and at Port Said. 1t Is assumed
that Malta will be touched and perhaps
Genoa or Nice, before reaching Gibraltar.

SAVED LUcKLEss LOVER.
Miss Smiths Henry Was a Persist

OMAHA, Neb., May 20.-It required the
united efforts of two big policemen to pre-
vent Henry Christensian, the rejected
sweetheart of Anna Smith, from hanging
himself on the front porch of the young
lady's residence.
Twice did the desperate fellow climb
upon the porch, and, tying rope in front
of the girls window, place moose
around his neck and leap into space and
twice did the girl cut him down.
The third time was too much for her
patience, and she called the police Just
in time to avoid having to save her low
er's life third time. So violently lid
the man struggle with the officers to
again hang himself at the very feet Of his
sweetheart that the officers were forced
to lock him up. Both the girl and the
man were finally taken to the station
With pout Miss Smith said, address,

any more, and he knows why but I don't
want him hanging himself right before

lock him up or station an officer under

Then I want you to send an officer and

Washington: Commissioners of Aguinal-
do arrived this morning. Wish to consult
United States commission, which they
will do on the 22d inst. Their power Jim
tied and apparently arnistice a eondi-
ton precedent to negotiation. Aguinaldo

MADRID, May 20, 10 a. m.-Gen. Gre
goria del Pillar, commander of the insur-
gent forces in front of Gen. Lawton's di-
vision; Lieut.. Col. Alberto Baretto, judge
advocate; Maj. Zealcita, of Aguinaldo's
staff, and Senior Graciognzaga, a former
member of the Filipino cabinet; the COM
missioners appointed to cooperate with
Senores Florentino Torres, Pablo Campo
and Teodore Yanco, of Manila, for the
purpose Of negotiating terms of peace
with the American commissioners, reach
ed Manila by special train from Malolos
at S:25 this morning.
The party was met by Lieut.. Col. Bar
ry, 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 Ayuntamiente.
The party was closeted with Gen. Otis
for more than an hour, but the interview
was decidedly unsatisfactory, the COM
mission having nothing definite to pro-
pose and unempowered to negotiate
terms The commissioners brought COM
munication direct from Aguinaldo, asking
for an armistice pending the direction of
the Filipino congress as to what policy
should be adopted. AS before, Gen. 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 permissions to see their fam
lilies before returning.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 20-Not-
withstanding the intiammatory editorials
in the local papers, which indicate proba-
BILE disturbances and agitation by poll
ticians, little excitement Is noticeable
here. The abolition Of the supreme court
by order of the governor general will, 1t
is asserted, seriously complicate judicial
business, rendering invalid many import
ant decisions in civil cases. The order
is declared to be inconsistent as it af-
fects decisions already made, except in
criminal cases. The Cubans claim that
their only safeguard-the Spanish courts
in the island and tho Madrid supreme
COURTS now removed, and that the sal
aries of the judges being abolished makes
1t impossibel for them to secure justice.
