TREATING FOR PEACE
The Filipinos Ask Terms for Ending
the War.
a Dispatch From the General Says tho
Commissioners Arc On Their Way
to Him-The ADVANCE OF tho
Americans at Calumpit Was
To Much for the Fill
ipIno Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, April &9.-Gcncral Otis
cabled the War departm.n mt this morn
ing that the commanding general Of
The insurgent government received di.
rections to suspend hostilitics pending
negotiations for the termination of the
war, and that the insurgent staff Off.
GERS are 10Y upon the way to Manila
for that purpose. His dispatch, dated
to-day. follows:
This morning chief of staff from
commanding general Of insurgent
forces entered our lines to express ad-
miration of the wonderful feat of the
American army in forcing passage of
the river, which was thought iapossi-
bic. Staff officers report that insur-
gent commanding general has received
from inSurgcnt government directions
to sus pend hostilities pending ncgotia-
lions for the termination of war. Staff
officer with party is now en- route to
Manila and will soon arrive"
The dispatch from General Otis was
Immediately tclcgraphed to President
Mckinley at Philadelphia. The Off.
Gals Of the Wan department believe
that the hostilitics arc about con-
cluded.
An Associated Press bulletin dated
at the close Of to-day from Manila,
stating that the negotiations for peace
had not been successful to-day, but
that another conference would occur
tomorrow, was not regarded as espec.
tally discouraging, 1t was rcmem-
bered by the officials that General
Toral at Santiago did not surrender at
the first instance, and that several
days were occupied in the negotiations
which finally resulted in the c%apitula-
ton.
1t is believed that the Filipino gen
erals simply wish to avoid direct re-
for the surrender which
is inevitable in asking for time in or.
der that their congress may assume
that responsibility. 1t is said that
the Philippine congress can be speed
lily got together for that purpose and
thus save the pride Of Aguinaldo.
1t is altogether too early yet to out
line the instructions which will be
sent to General Otis for his guidance
in treating with Aguinaldo and his
officers, but it can be said positively
that terms which do not provide for
the complete subjugation of the Fill
ipinos will not be considered for a
moment.
1t is a rather interesting coincidence
in this connection that the news of
the probable surrender of the insurg.
should have been received in
just one year, lacking
three days, from the date upon which
Dewey achieved his great victory in
front of the city.

WHAT THE JUNTA SAYS OF IT.

LoNDoa, May l.-Mcm bers Of The
Filipino junta here made the state
ment to-day that tn, peace ncgotia-
tioas betwsen the United States au-
thorities at Manila and General Luna
were unofficial in character. General
Luna, the junta asserts, does not rep
resent Aguinaldo's government. 1t is
further asserted by the junta hat Sc
cret negotiations between Dean G.
Worcester of the United States Phil
lppine commission and a representa-
tive of A~guinaldo have been in prog
ress since before the attack on Malo.
los. The following conditions, it is
alleged. were proposed by the Ameri-
cans after the capture Of Malolos:
The Americans to issue a procIama-
ton granting the Filipinos self-gov-
crament and political, civil and re.
ligious rights similar to those enjoy ed
by the people Of Canada; the Filipinos
to control international mercantile
relations; Americans and Filipinos
to enjoy equal rights in the
islands. Manila to remain in
the possession of the United
States until Congress decides other
wise; the American flag to fly over
the capitals of the islands aad in the
mos. prominent positions along with
the Filipino flag, except a: Manila,
where only the American flag shall hv;
all vessels to fly the American flag
with mat of the Filipinos; the Roman
catholic clergy to BE- under the same
administration as in the United
States; Spanish clerical direct inter-
vention to be abolished; hospitals and
schools formerly administered by the
orders to be handed over to the gov
ernment, the orders 20 retain only
their present town property; the secu.
lar clergy to retain their property"
The junta asserts that Aguinaldo,
in view of those proposals, withdrew
from Malolos, but that General Otis's
proclamation, after the occupation Of
Malo.os, failed to graut self-govern-
mcnt upon the proposed lines. This,
it is further asserted, caused the hos
~tilities following the capture of Malo.

MT. Sloane Divorced and Remarked 20

Perry Belmont the Same Day.
New YORK, May Henry L.
Sloane, the we'll known and wealthy
society man, yesterday received al
absolute divorce from his wife, Jessie
A. Sloane. The decree was handed
down by Justice Slower in the supreme
court and was based upon the report
of a referee. The name of the core
spondent was kept secret. The GUS
tody of the Sloane children, JESSIE
Emily and Eleanor, was given to Mr..
Sloane. He was also accorded the
right to marry, and the defendant IN
the suit, it was stated, should not
lawfully marry again until after the
death of Mr.. Sloane.
But" the decree continued, tine
remarriage Of the said parties to tins
action is not hereby prohibited
Mrs. Sloane is deprived of the right
to any part in Mr.. Sloahe's property.
The separation of the couple was an
bounced last December.
Perry Belmont and Mrs. Jessie A.
Sloane, the divorced wife of Henry Il.
Sloane, were married at $50 o'clock
last night at Greenwich, Conn, by
Rev. Mr.. Walter NJ. Barrows, pastor
of the Second congregational church
of hat city.
Mr.. and Mrs. belmont will go to
Washington where they will be the
guests of Mrs. G.. T. Rowland, Mr..
Bellnont's sister, for several days. MIR.
Belmont will then take his bride to
Kentucky to visit his stock farm.
Before leaving this city. and at Mr..
Belmont's request, the new Mrs. Bel
mont conveyed her home at No. 0
East Scvcnty-second street, the house
that has been recently given her by
Mr.. Sloane, and all its contents, to the
State Trust company, with instruc-
tions to convey it back again to Mr..
Sloane. The property is valued at
$3.50, 900.
There is an interesting story in con
nection with this transfer of Mrs.
Belmont's home to her former hus-
band. Perry Belmont and his brother,
0. Il. p. Belmont, do not speak, and it
is said it is because of the fact that
o. Fl. ?. Belmont permits his wife,
who was divorced from w. X. Wander
bilt, to accept alilmony from her for
mer husband. Having taken SO con
s%picuous a stand against that, Perry
belmont could not consistently permit
his wife to retain a gift from he1
former husband.
