FILIPINO PEACE CONFERENCE.
Leaders of the Insurgents Agree on
Terms.

Manila, by Cable.-Two hundred FIJI.
ipincs met Thursday morning in Man.
lila to determine honorable and deco
rous methods for securing peace.
The results were submitted in the
evening to General Macarthur, who
accepted them.
The leaders of the meeting will use
their influence to induce Aguinaldo to
accept the arrangement. If they are
successful as they hope to be, they be-
lieve Aguinaldo will issue orders in
conjunction with the American author
itiss for the cessation of hostilities.
The meeting, which was the first OF
the kind since the days of the Filipino
congress, was composed Of the distinct
ly revolutionary element, the "Ameri-
can:stas" being lacking.
Thirty political prisoners were re-
leased from Jail in order to attend.
Senior Palermo presided and Senor Bu-
encamino, the originator of the move
mert, Senor Flores, Gen. Pho del Pillar,
Gen. Garcia. Gen. Macabulos and 9TH
er prominent revolutionists were pres
ent. 1t was pointed out that the ques-
tioEs to be considered were military
and civil, the military being concerned
with a cessation Of hostilities and the
civil with the determination CT the po-
l;ical status of the Filipincs. The i'm
mediate object Of the meeting was to
effect peace and subsequently the lead
ers could consult with the civil commis-
sion as to political matters.
1t was evident that Senor Paterno
was convinced that he could obtain
Aguinaldo's sanction to a peace based
upon the following seven clauses,
which, after four hours, were unani.
mously accepted as compliable with an
honorable peace:
l. Amnesty.
2. The return by the Americans to
the Filipinos of confscated property.
8. Employment for the revolution
ary generals in the navy and militia
when established.
4. The application of the Filipino
revenues to succor needy Filipino SOL
diers.
5. A guarantee to the Filipinos Of

ed to Americans by their constitution.
6. Establishment of civil govern
ments at Manila and in the provinces

Chinese Situation.

London, By Cable-The silence OF
Pekin continues unbroken. Four thou
sand men Of the allied forces were
having sharp defensive fighting at
Tien-Tsin, Tuesday and Wednesday,
with a prospect of being REINFORCED
Thursday. This is the situation in
China as set forth in the British gov
ernment dispatch. Eight hundred
Americans are taking part in the
fighting in Tien-Tsin, says the Shang-
hal correspondent Of the Daily Ex-
press, cabling Friday evening, land
they apparently form a part Of sup
Elementary force, arriving with Ger
mans and British after the conflict
started. 1t is impossible to estimate
the number of the Chinese there, but
they had a surprising number OF
guns" This information appears to
have been brought by the United
States gun-boat Nashville to Che Flu
and telegraphed to Shanghai. The Chi
nese are deserving Shanghai in large
numbers and going into the interior.
Reports from native sources continue
TO reach Shanghai Of anarchy in Pc
kin. According to these tales the
streets are filed day and night with
Boxers, who are wholly beyond the
control Of the Chinese troops and who
are working themselves up to fren-
Nv. and clamorirg for the death OF all
foreigners.

Second Day OF the Convention.

Philadelphia, Special President Nc
session Of the national convention
Wednesday. Senator Hanna threw Up
The sponge. He found Re could not
stem the tide Of the poDala: favcrite
without using the dirccC influence OF
the administration at Washington.
And this he couid not get. Possibly
even with it, he might have filled. But
without it the task was hopetess. The
President would have no hand in an
effort to control the convention. He
made known directly to Mr.. Hanna his
wish that the will of the convention
should not be thwarted, and when that
unequivocal word came, Mr.. Hanna 1e-
.uctantly abandoned the fight. With
his retirement from the contest against
the Empire State Governor, both nom
nations could have been been made
before the convention adjourned Wed
nesday. The original programme was
to renominate Mckinley and to nomi-
nate the candidate for Vice President
Thursday, but the national Republican
committee had compact with the To-
cal Philadelphia committee to keep the
convention here for three days, and it
was feared that if the nomination for
President was made tAa convention
might take the DIT IN It's teeth and
wind up the proceedings before dark.
All the preparations for the Presidents
nomination at this session had been
perfected. Hundreds of beautiful red,
white and blue pampas plumes, attach
ed 70 long stats, had been taken down
into the delegates pit before the con-
vention met, ard there slowed away
against the inevitable moment when
the climax should be reached. AS they
were carried into the pit by the ushers
while the convention was assembling.
they recalled the magnificent scene a.
st. Louis four years ago when similar
plumes set the convention mad with
delight during the famous Mckinley
demonstration. Knowing the temper
OF the delegates and the crowds, Mr..
Hanna decided TO take no risks. And
consequently the immense throngs
which blackened the vast amphithea-
ter were compelled to content them
selves with rotine incidents connected

Mr.. Lodges voice showed splendid

trying task Of presiding over such a
gathering. His reference to Hawaii
