AGUINALDo DESIRES PEACE.
Said to Have Made Direct Ovcrtures
to Gen. Otis-President A.. att
ing Developments.

Chicago, July 1S.--A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington saws:
Important cablegrams have been re-
ceived at the state department from
the Philippine commission. and at the
war department from Gen. Otis. con-
corning a new move in the direction
of peace. These dispatches have been
in the hands of the president for sew
eral days, but he has declined to make
them public, because the ultra-opti-
mistic views heretofore received from
the same source have not been borne
out by subsequent events.
The latest dispatches, however. are
more encouraging than the previous
ones, but the president wishes to have
some positive results before making
them public.
All that can be learned definitely
about them is that direct overtures for
peace have been made to Gen. Otis by
Aguinaldo and some of his principal
leaders.
1t was said by cabinet official last
night that if the promises were full
filled, the volunteers now being en-
listed will not be needed.
