TagaIs in Mindanao Want to Surren-
der.
Mall advices to the War Department in
dictate important negotiations in the Mo-
bammedan section of the archipelago ont
side of the much discussed territory Of
Suiu. Through the efforts Of Mr.. X En-
gelskjon, gentleman Of Norwegian birth,
who enjoys the confidence of the Tagalo
chiefs in Mindanao, overtures of peace
have been made to Gen. Otis at Manila
Mindanao is almost equal in area to Luzon,
being of the two great islands of the
Philippines. 1t is Httle-known country,
one-third of its area being under acknowl-
edged Mohammedan dominion. The Mo-
hammedans there number 10000. and
Spain maintained little mora than nominal
sovereignty such she enjoyed over the
SUlu group. Besides the fierce Nero tribes
inhabittng Mindanao there are great
number of Tagalo5, whose affinities are
with Aguinaldo and his followers further

ference with Mr.. Engelskjon at Zamboanga
and drew up form of treaty proposing
terms Of peace. They have suffered greatly
from the inroads of the Moros and thew
offer to submit to the authority of the
United States, acknowledge the flag and
pay taxes on the sole condition that this
country shall establish sufficient American
garrisCns in the island to protect them
from the Moro bands.
These proposals were submitted to Gen.
Otis on the arrival of Mr.. Engeiskjon but
what action has been taken IS not yet
known.
Insurgents Supplied From Manila.
An escaped Spanish prisoner from the in
surgent lines north of Manila recently ar
rived at Angeles. He confirms the report
that the insurgents are running short Of
Mauser ammunition and are unable to re-
fill cartridges of that class. He says, how
ever, that they are well supplied with REM
ingtOn ammunition, which they manufac-
tUre for themselves. They also manufac-
tLre dynamite and powder from petroleum
and salt, which Is shipped to them from
Manila and taken into their lines at night
Of the fourteen American prisoners held
by the insurgents a Tarlac the rebels claim
that four have accepted commissions in the
insurgent army.
Two Scotchmen, named Mckinley and
Macintosh, have escaped from the rebels
They claim to have been captured in a
small schooner which started from Hong
Kong to Manila and was forced to put into
a rebel port for supplies. They say that
the insurgents claim to have $50 American
prisoners scattered through various towns
but they knew of none personally exceDt-
ing Lieut.. Gilmore and his fourteen sailors
who are held at Bigan. The Insurgents
say, however, that they have two American
officers in confinement besides Lieut. GIL
more.
Col. Smith at Angeles has sent to Gen.
Macarthur a placard in Spanish which
was found nailed to a tree outside the line
1t was an appeal TO the colored troODs TO
Join the insurgents in the fight for freedom
ana referred to your brothers, Sam Hose
and Gray, whose blood calls aloud for ven
geance.' 1t is supposed that this is a ref
erence to the Same Hose lynching in
Georgia.
