Will SOON SURRENDER
Negotiations for Peace Rapidly
Progressing.
COMMISSION is AT WORK
Filipinos Have Learned a Lesson From
Recent Experiences-No Tidings
of the Missing Men-A
Fight at Taguig.

New York, April 21.-A special to the
Press from Washington says: At the
war department the hopeful feeling con-
corning the Philippines is encouraged by
a cable from General Otis. He reports
that the negotiations for peace are pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The commanding
general says that he does not wish to
make definite promises or predictions,
but he believes that he will be able to an
nounce a result of the communications
passing between the commission and the
leaders of the insurgents.
The state department has similar infor-
nation from civil sources and confidence
is expressed that the outcome of the ef-
forts to establish American authority will
be a success. Precisely what the terms
are cannot be said. 1t is said on good au-
thority that even the president is not
aware what terms the commission is of
fering to Aguinaldo and his associates.
The commission has much discretion. 1t
can give assurances in regard to the am
nesty and local government. 1t is in po-
stion to make the conditions of surren-
der liberal. The president has believed
for some time that if his commissioners
could get into free communication with
the insurgents they would satisfy them
that the interests of the Filpinos lay in
the acceptance of American authority.
The advices to-day indicate that the
commission has or is about to be estab-
lished. Evidently the insurgents have
learned something from their recent ter
rible experiences. 1t is understood that
Agoncillo, hearing of negotiations at
home. intends coming to the United
States from Paris He wishes to be with
in reach of the president or the state de-
partment that he may not be left out of
the deal. He will not be received officially.
but he can be afforded the privilege of
talking with the American authorities If
he has any desire for information. He
will be told again concerning the power
of congress to provide the form of gov
eminent for the Filipinos. He also will
be made aware Of the impossibility of

independence to the archipelago, was

AMERICA VERSUS EUROPE.
Old Con ntries Alone Are Unable to Cop
With Us.


London. April 22.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Times, dwelling upon
the displeasure and jealousy which
Americas naval and military prowess,
coupled with her rapprochement to
Great Britain, has been received
throughout Austria Hungary. intensi-
flying the apprehensons long held here
regarding her astounding Industrial
and commercial progress, quotes an edi-
torial from the Vaterland, the clerical
organ, on the Samoan imbroglio.
The Vaterland describes the Samoan
affair as "one of the most important
subjects to European state policy and
international diplomacy that can arise
for a long time to come" The editorial
continued in the following vein:
1.-THE first shot Admiral Kautz fired
at Samoa was the initiation of a policy
of aggression against Europe, the COM
mencement Of policy for naval SUI
premacy.'
The Vaterland attributes most of the
difficulties confronting not only the
German races but all continental pow
ers to the "Shylock policy of Great
Britain and to American commercial
competition. 1t regards the Anglo
American combination as superior in
naval and economic strength to either
the dual or triple alliance and advo-
Gates united action by all European
powers against it.

IF any officer Of the army is guilty
it must be known"
Both Major Lee and Colonel Davis
submitted number of reports ana
mass of correspondence. Among the
documents read by Colonel Davis was a
letter from the Washington attorney
of Messrs. Armour & Co., dated June
H. 1898, after the contract for beef had
been let. asking for a reconsideration OF
the subject in the interest of their
clients. In their letter the attorneys
represented that the Armours controlled
the Powell process for the treatment of
meat and that this fact gave them such
an advantage in the preservation OF
fresh beef to warrant the department
to disregard the difference in price and
award them the contract.
In his Endorsement, General Eagan re-
ferred to the letters of the attorney as
"a special Pleading" and said there was
mo reason in this plea why the subject
should be opened. The tests made by
Armour & Co are not the only tests that
have been made he said. and there
is no doubt whatever in my mind but
that the beef can be furnished as re-
CURED"
This document was introduced by
Colonel Davis to show that General
Eagan had not been influenced by the
representa- tons concerning the Powell
process
Major Lee submitted a deposition by
J. s. Armstrong, president of the Arm
strong Packing company of Dallas.
Tex, which, among other things, set
forth the substance of a conversation
With General Eagan. Mr.. Armstrong
was one of the bidders for beef on the
block. and said that while he was here
in Washington he discussed with Cen
eral Eagan the question of beef being
kept for - hours after being taken
from the refrigerators.
Mr.. Armstrong said he expressed the
opinion that it was impossible, TO which
General Eagan replied that Swift & Co
and Armour both had knowledge of
process by which beef could be kept
for that length of time.

M'KlNLEY'S INSTRUCTIONS,
Read to the Court of Inquiry-Testimony
Was Reviewed

Washington, April 21.-The war court
of inquiry devoted to-day's session to
reviewing the testimony and tonight
held another session for the purpose of
reading reports, letters, dispositions
and other papers bearing upon the beef
investigation. The only important mat
ter developed was President McKinley's
instruction to the court of inquiry,
which was delivered to the court on
Feb 20. These instructions We're read
by Colonel Davis. in order to make
them part of the record. They are as
follows:
THE character and quality of the
meat refrigerated and canned furnish
ed to the army, how purchased, how
shipped to the soldiers; if good when
shipped: what the cause of it's deter
ioration, if any.
If the meat was doctored: did the
commissary general or any of his off
of knowledge
Was it the meat Of commerce?
Was it inspected by the government
inspectors as provided by law?
Was 1t an authorized ration in the
army?
If good when purchased what made
it bad2
Was it anybody's neglect or fault,
and, if so. whose?
When unfit for use, if it should so
find, was the fact made known to the
war department.; when and by whom?
IF after leaving the depot commits
sary it was not cared for and properly
preserved, whose fault?
Was it a suitable ration for the cam
paigns in Cuba and Porto Rico?
Was there anything better that was
practicable?
Would it have been prudent for our
troops to have made the expedition TO
Santiago and Porto Rico without the
preserved meats, either refrigerated or
canned, with which they were supplied?
Gould the army with any certainty
rely upon the cattle on the hoof on those
islands?
Did the commanding officers in San
tiago or Porto Rico or the major gen
erai commanding report during the war
TO the war department that the refrig-
orator or canned beef was an unfit ra-
ton?
When were these reports made and
by whom?
IF the allegations of the major gem
erai commanding are established,
want the court to find the cause and
fix the responsibility for the fact, that
the guilty may be properly punished.
Did the cattle in Porto Rico make
a wholesome ration?
IF the packers of the country are !
guilty it must be known
IF the officers of the COmmiSSarY de- /
partment are guilty it must be known. |

CONFESSED THE CRIME
Two Brothers Murdered Their
Rich Aunt.
ROBBERY WAS THE MOTIVE
Threw Her Body Into Well After They
Shot Her-Five Hundred Dollars
Was Secured and Traced
Back to Them,

Pana, ILL.,, April 21.-The mutilated
body of Miss Jane Brunot, a wealthy
woman of Dana, Ind, was found buried
in an abandoned well on the farm Of
her sister-in-law near here to-day. Mrs,
Anna Brunot, her son, Henry Brunot.
and Frederick Sibley are under arrest
in this city, charged with the murder.
The chief of police says that the per-
sons under arrest decoyed Mrs Brunot
to the farm and shot her through the
head and buried her body in an aband-
oned we'll.
Miss Brunot came ito this city on
visit about April 1. 1t is said she
brought with her a valise containing a
draft for $500 and other valuables
Neither Miss Brunot nor the valisa
We're ever seen after April 1. A few
days later Henry Brunot and Sibley
disappeared The police learned that
the two went to Indianapolis, Where
they, it is said, cashed a draft for $500
and spent the proceeds. On the strength
of this clue and letter from Indiana
friends inquiring for Miss Brunot, the
three inhabitants of the Brunot farm
were arrested this morning. At s o'clock
the police found Miss Brunot's decom-
posed body in an old we'll. Her cloth
ing was found in the garnet of the farm
house.
This afternoon Henry Brunot, who,
with Frederick Sibley, was arrested to-
day for the murder of Brunots aunt,
Miss Jane Brunot, made a full confess
sion to Chief of Police Kelly. Brunot
said:
ION Monday, April 10, the day of the
Pana riot, Sibley and 7, having laid our
plans to kill my aunt that night, I
brought my mother to Pana. l then
drove home. My aunt was then in the
barnyard milking. She went into the
kitchen and was preparing supper.
Sibley and I entered. We had planned
that both should draw revolvers and
fire simultaneously. I drew my gun
and fired first She fell and fired sew
died instantly. Sibley did not fire. Sib
ley tore all her clothing from her,
searching for money, but found none:
we dragged her out on the porch, threw
her in a wheelbarrow, and Sibley took
her to the well and dumped her in head
first. We then built platform a few
feet from the ground and filled it with
earth. Sibey had nothing to do with
the murder Our object was robbery.
We thought that Aunt Jane had money
on her"
Sibley later made confession cor
roborating that of Brunot Mrs. Bru-
not has been released from custody.
Sibley and Brunot were remanded
without bail.
