Manila, June l4.-Gen. Cailles. the insargent commander in the Province of Laguna. has promised to surrender with 1.G00 rifemen. under terms which Senor Dancel. who has acted as Intermediary, states have been modified and accepted by the authori- ties. It is not believed that Cailles has that many rifles in his command. however The conditions are said to be as follows:
 1. That hostilities shall be sus- pended while the negotiations are pending.
 ,. That Gen. Cailles' troops shall receive the customary consideration, and the benefit of the franchise.
 3. That instead of the government paying the usual S30 for every rifle surrendered, a fund of s1o0,00O shall be created for the benefit of the widows and orphans of Filipino sol diers.

The young n talked pleasantly with thelr 1is;,drs and seemed to take the mat t.r 1ightIy. expressing themselves as ,o;,o confident of their acqulttai when they are arraigned for trla!, land all the truth is told.
 There seems to be several sides 10 tho story. The account of the killing os related by the Graphic Sunday was .o4,on from the statement Of one Of the ove witnesses. a negro, and there IS so,oa doubt as to the complete truth f,lness of it. It is said that there were several other witnesses to the shooting and they will be introduced in due time.
 The statement made by the Grapa.@ relative 10 the guns found in Flukef's p,in heinz the property of the Clegg bovs and were put in there by the ef- aeers was a mistake. The pistols in the grip were the property of l.. E. Fluker. The mistake was made by the Graphic man in hearing it stated before the coroners jury that the pls, tols before the jury were those of the cleeg boys. There were two pistols on the table before the jurors and statement was made that they be longed 10 the Cleggs. This was true. The reporter. seeing the two pistols, Nok his information from the state Gsent made bg one of the officers present. It was thought that they were the pisto.s from the grip. but they were not The pistols. the prop erty of Flukey. were in the grip st the time.
 Officer John Walters and Stock 0t- feer John Francis Were the 9aTolmeh that took the guns from the two Cless boys and Greeabury Flnker, the negro who was slightly wounded in the shooting. Officer Walters says that the Clegg boys had one pistol each. Every chamber had been discharged in enc of the guns and in the other there were two balls missing. The Clegg boys, after giving their pistols up to Officer Walters, went directly to the sheriff's office and surrendered

Officers Walters and Francis did no- do this, however as they went through Greenbury Fluker's pockets and recovered a gun. The pistol was so hot that the officer was hardly able to hold it in his hand for any length of time. Every cartridge in the same was empty. The three pistols recovered were taken to police head quarters and later turned over to the county officials.
 Gre nbury Fluker was also taken to police headquarters, locked up in the city jail and received medical atten- ton there. He was later removed to his home. He is reported to be doing fairly well. The bullet that struck him in the leg glanced off and went through the flesh. inf1icting only a slight wound.
 There were five pistols recovered from the principals after the shoot ing Only two of them were of the same calibre The bullets which were taken from the bodies of the dead men are being preserved and may be introduced as evidence at the trial. It is stated that two different sized bullets entered Sol Fluker's body. Some have possibly explained this in the following manner: Green. bury Fluker. in emptying his revolver at Tom Clegg, who was scuff1ing at the waters edge with Sol Fluker, hit the latter by mistake
