Manila. May 20.-The commissioners
sent by Aguinaldo 10 negotiate for peace
arrived in Manila this morning. The
commission went at once to General
Otis's headquarters, presented their
credentials and renewed the request in
behalf of Aguinaldo for an armistice
until Aguinaldo could learn the wishes
of his countrymeu. Gen. Otis explained
in few words that he had made the
position of the United States on that
point clear to previous Filipino deleea-
lions, reiterating that he would discuss
peace only when the Filipinos were pre-.
pared for unconditional surrender. He
granted the commissioners permission,
however, to interview certain leading
Filipinos in Manila and to consult with
the United States Philippines commits.
siou. 1t is believed the desire of the
Filipinos TO consult with the Ameri-
can commissioners is to secure peace on
the best terms they can, the repetition
of the armistice being merely last at
tempt of Aguinaldo to maintain an at.
titude of dignity.
The expedition moving up the Rio
Grande, under Major Kobbe, has CAP
tured the town OF Candaba, without any
resistance. The local government re.
quested that the Americans leave a
garrison in the place. Thousands of
natives are returning to Maabon and
other points near Manila. They oil ex.
press desire for peace.

MAY NOT CONVICT TAYLOR.
Much discussion is heard in Wash

MAY MOI CON VIII Ia LOh.
Much discussion is heard in Wash
ington concerning the proposed trial of
Armistead Taylor for the murder OF
Police Sergeant Passau. 1t is repre-
sented by some local lawyers, as we'll
as by States Attorney Kilgour, of
Montgomery county, Md, that Taylor
was merely defending himself in his
own house; that the officers who sought
to arrest him came in citizens clothes
and without announcing themselves as
officers of the law, and that Taylor may
have naturally supposed them to be
persons from Montgomery county in
tending to lynch him.
These circumstances, it is said, pre-
cude conviction fol murder and may
limit the punishment of the negro to
Imprisonment for few years.
Taylor is still in the jail in Washing
ton and yesterday repeated his confess
sion for the benefit of Sheriff ThomD-
son, who went to visit him there. 1t
is understood that he made no disclos-
ures 10 addition TO those heretofore
printed.
Among certain officials of the Dis
trict government the impression exists
that Taylor will not be tried in that
city until he has been sent to Rockville
to answer for the murder of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rosenstein, and to appear as q
witness against his uncle, John Brown
John A. Brown, colored, aged about
forty.three years, who is thought to
be implicated in the murder of Louis
and Dora Rosenstein, in Montgomery
county, and who was later brought to
the Baltimore city jail for safe keeping.
was quite laxative yesterday and
seemed to think that he was in place
perfectly safe from harm. Brown pos
itively denies having had anything to
do with the murder or of knowing any
thing about it. II don't know why they
should suspect me-" said Brown. II did
not murder the Rosensteins, help to do
it or know anything about it. | could

4 STATE court in Georgia has decid'
ed that dogs are property. That was q
righteous decision. Indeed some men
oare more for their dogs than they dc
for their horses and cows, and, indeed,
dogs sre of more real service, and iO'
fnitely less trouble at many homes
than other domestic animals; and DO
right thinking man will object to pay
ing property tax on his dog
any more than on his horse. II
the members of the Virginia legs-
lature, who are elected by the "dear
people,, as those of State convention
are, we're the right sort of men, they
would impose dog tax, and thereby
reduce other taxes and conduce greatly
to the States wool industry.

RAILROAD RUMoR.-In Georgetown
it is reported that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is planning an en-
trance there from the Virginia side
Since the freight depot at Rosslyn was
burned, several months ago. the rail-
road company is said to have determin-
ed to reach Georgetown and has about
decided to cross the Potomac above
the Aqueduct bridge. Data in accord
with this project are being prepared
and will be presented to Congress next
winter with the draft CT Dill making
the concessions desired.
Those who are similar with the his
tory of the competition between the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl-
vania railroads say that this move OF
the Pennsylvania ig obviously made to
checkmate its old rival, which now
practically has the right-of-way into
Georgetown and is expected to extend
it's line down the river within the next
few months.
