PARDON FOB REBELS
WAR TO BE PROCLAIM
60 ENDED.
Amnesty to Be offered All Insurgents
Who Lay Down Their Arms-Dis-
banded s-Insnrrcctos" Now Plumber
ing Natives in Provincial Towns.

A Washington correspondent declares
he has learned from official sources than
the President intends to issue within IL
next thirty days his Philippine proclama-
ton extending amnesty to the insurgents
and denouncing as outlaws and bandits
all who do not avail themselves of it's
TERMS. This determination was reached
after several conferences with the Secre-
tary of War and other members of the
cabinet.
The proclamation has o yet been
drafted, but the general terms Of its pro-
visions have been fully discussed, and it
is announced that it will contain a declar-
ntion of the end of the instruction of the
islands. This will be followed by a grant
of amnesty to all insurgents who lay
down their arms within a specified time.
The time has not yet been decided upon,
but the President believes sixty days sui.
icient, and this meets the approval of the
Secretary of War.
The proclamation will declare that, ON
ing to the termination of the insurrec-'
ton, all persons who do not avail them
selves of its terms within the time given
will he treated as outlaws and BANDITS
For some time the President has had un-
Ter consideration an announcement OF tlss
termination of the rebellion, but has BEEN
waiting for a complete di~sintegraticn of
all the Filipino forces. :
Reports from Gen. Otis do not show,
that any organized rcbellion exists in tho
northern part of Luzon, and recent re-
ports indicate that the only opposi,ioni
found now is in the island south of Ma
uila. Gen. Schwan has been sent to-
conquer the enemy in this section, and
has been meeting with surprising success
He has pursued the insurgents without,
abatement, and has inflicted severe de-
feats in every engagement, and the
American forces in Cavite and BatansaS
provinces have reduced the Filipino or
CARNATIONS to mere rowing bands of only
a few hundred mon.
The campaign under Gen. Schwan is
to be pushed with renewed vigor, and it,
is the intention of the President to issue
his proclamation on the completion OF the.
Schwan expedition. War Department
officials are of the belief that Gen.
Schwan will succeed in pacifying Cavitc.
and Batangas provinces within a few
weeks, and that Gen. Otis will be able.
to report the complete pacitication of the
Islands within less than thirty days.
The War Department has received sew
eral cables from Gen. Otis confirming the
belief that the insurgents have scattered
throughout the country and are plumber

Probably DrOwncd.

Fears are entertained that Charles Nell
son, an old resident of Sioux Falls, has
been drowned in the Sioux River. Nelson
was working with a gang of men cutting
ice. 1t Was his duty to go to the river
early and clear out the passage used in
floating the ice to the shore. When the
worlSmen put i'll an appearance Jan. 81
Nelson was not OH hand. Efforts since
made to find him have proved fruitless, and
there seems little doubt that While clearing
out the passage lie slipped and went under
the ice.

PARLIAMENT IN SESSION.

Of members. Before the opening Of the.
session there was the usual inspection of
the vaults for gunp0wder, which for
has been observed since the days.
Of Guy Fawkes.
Queen Victoria's address gives no hint
Of q desire for the wars end. She cx-
presses grief over the great losses sus-
tanned, speaks of her pride for bravery
of British soldiers and asks more money
Cor continuance Of the conflict.
Not since the Crimean war has Parlia-,
mcnt met under similar circumstances
Not since the days of Parnel has there
been as much excitement attending it's
assembling. There was bungling in the
Crimcan war, md for it the Aberdeen
ministry was ovcrthrown. There has
been bungling in South Africa now, but
unless signs fail The present ministry,
will stick out il it has to elect a new

themselves stronger than since Glad

asserts, il they had n leader knee high
