PRESIDENT SENDS CORRESPOND
ENCE TO THE SENATE.
In Response to Resolutions Calling
for 1t Adopted April Is. Relating
TO Alleged Communications mt
the Outbreak of the War.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-The president
today sent to the senate response to the
resolution asking for a report as to the al
legged negotiations for peace on February
8. 1899 after the breaking out of the FIJI
pino revolution. A cablegram from Adjt
Gen. Corbin to Gen. Otis on April 20 says:
Gable whether Gen. Torres came to you
under flag of truce February s. 1899, and
stated that Aguinaldo declared the fight
ing had begun accidentally and not author
ICED by him; that Aguinaldo wished II
stopped, and hoped to end hostillties by
proposing the establishment of neutral
zone between the two armies. of width
agreeable to you, so during peace pegotia-
tions there might be no further danger OF
conflict; whether you replied lighting hav-
ing begun. must go on to grim end"
Gen. Otis is his reply says:
Judge Torres. citizen and resident of
Manila, who has served as a member of
the insurgent commission, reported on the
evening of February 5. asking IL something
could not be done TO stop the fighting, as
the establishment of "A neutral zone. | re-
Piled that Asuinaldo had commenced me
fighting and he must apply for cessation:
had nothing TO request from the insurgent
government He asked permission to send
Col Arguellez to Malolos, and Argueliez
was passed through the lines near Calooc an
next morning. He went direct TO Maolos
told Gen. Aguinaldo and Mahini that Cen
Otis would permit suspension of hostiiisies
upon their request. They replied that a
declaration of war had been made a copy
OF which they furnished him. They said
they had no objection to suspension OF
hostilitles. but beyond this general remark
made no response, but directed him to re-
turn with that message.
''ArguelleZ reported that he conveyed
my statement; that they had commenced
the war and 1t must go on. since they had
chosen that course of action. but did not
attempt to induce them 70 make any prop
osition. as he feared the accusation of
cowardice The insurgent chief author
tiles made no proposition and did not in
tend TO make any, nor did they attempt
to dc so until driven out OF Malolos."
Ihere were great many questions
asked in the resolution which was adopt
ed on April Is In hts reply the president
states: Gen. OTIS was not directed by
the secretary OF war to make such an an

scribed by The secretary of war to Gen.
Otis but ne was left 10 exercise in re-
