Manila, May 2O.-Seven Filipino
envoys, said to be Buencaimo, Del
Pillar, Arguelles. Pamprenos, Torres,
Serrera and Palermo, left San lsidro
this morning, and are expected in the
city sometime during the day.
All OF the commissioners except two
fed when San Isldro was taken by
Lawton last night. The two who re-
mained unburdened themselves to Law
ton and told him much of matters
which had transpired in the capital
before the column of Americans, head
ed by the Oregon and Minnesota vol
unteers, marched into the rebel strong
hold.
These Filipinos claimed that for al
most a week past the army has been
willing to surrender Internationally
and accept the proclamation of the
Americans in good faith, all except
Luna and Del Pillar. For days the
army has been completely demoralized
and sulking, unwilling to fight, and
anxious for peace. Aguinaldo fled the
day before Lawton took San IsidJo, and
is now at Cab9natuan, IS miles north
of San Isidro, totally discouraged am
broken, discredited and helpless. Al
San Miguel and other places, native
women have refused to extend him hos
pitality for fear they would incur the
wrath and retributon of the Americans.

WASHINGTON. May l0.-All hope Of

abandoned. The conference adjourned
after having made good Roadway. as it

an unexpected and insurmountable OBJ

boundary questions the joint commission
adjourned to meet in August with the
understanding that in the me-. ntime the
members of the two commissions would
test public sentiment. 1t was also
hoped that some difficulties which had
presented themselves in the settlement
of the work of the commission might in
the interim be removed by diplomatic
negotiations. 1t has nov been demon
strated, however. that the temper of
neither side has Welded sufficiently to
warrant the expectation, of any success
