MANILA, May 12.—Senor Paterno has declined to accept the proffered presi- dency of the Filipino cabinet until the native congress, which is now in special session at San Isidro, authorizes him to treat with the Americans. Mr. Higgins, president of the Dagu— pan railway, has just returned from within the Filipino lines. He says that the native refugees are suffering from lack of food and that the rebel army is becoming demoralized because of the small support given to it by the inhab- itants, Whose homes have bcen looted by the soldiers. Paterno’s house in Mexico was ransacked and $2,000 in money stolen. The Filipino leaders, Mr. Higgins says, are planning to make a vigorous stand near San Fernando, where 14,000 men are strongly intrenched on three sides of the town. The arrival“ of the transport Hancock from San Francisco with the Twenty- first infantry and a battery of the First artillery was most opportune, as Gen- eral MacArthur is in need of re-enforce- ments, his troops showing the effects of their prolonged and arduous campaign. There are persistent reports, which, however, are not confirmed, that the French Baron du Marais, who went into the Filipino lines in behalf of the Span- ish pris crisis, has been assassinated by the 1ebels. Leading Filipinos living in Manila have held a meeting anddecided to publish a newspaper to be called the Democracia, to advocate the establish- ment of peace. The rebels in the Cavite province are fortifying and intrenching the principal towns. ENCOURAGING REPORTS. GE‘ncral Otis Tells of Insurgent Dis- integration—Transports En Route. WASHINGTON, May 12.—Major Gen- eral Otis broke his silence of several days about the situation at Manila in a Sspatch received at the war depart- ment yesterday, which contained news that greatly encouraged the military authorities. Although General Otis did not refer to the peace conferences, he indicated very clearly that the insur- gents were on the point of collapse. The officers of the government are satisfied that the end is very near and will not be surprised to hear at any time that Aguinaldo has agreed to surrender. General Otis’ dispatch, dated May 11, was as follows:--; “Situation as follows: Succeeded in passing army gunboats to Calumpit for use in Rio Grande; railway connection with that point secured this week; pas- sage of gunboats through Maccabebe country hailed with joyful demonstra- tions by inhabitants. * * * In coun- tiy passed over by trodps temporary Gilll administration inaugurated and protection to inhabitants against insur— gent abuses given as far as possible. Signs of insurgent disintegration daily manifested; obstacles. which natural features of country present can be over- come.” General Otis sent another dispatch in reply to the request by Secretary Alger for information as to when the volun- teers would begin to leave Manila as follows: “Volunteer organizations first to re- tunn now at Negros and 45 miles from Manila at front; expect that trans- ports now arriving will take returning volunteers; volunteers understand they will begin to leave for United States latter part of month; know importance of their presence here at this time and accept sacrifice which United States’ in- terests make imperative. Hancock now entering harbor. Transports returning this week carry sick and wounded men; Pennsylvania and St. Paul not needed longer in southern waters, where they have been retained, hence dispatched; transports Nelson and Cleveland brought freight; return without cargo.” The Hancock, which arrived safely at Manila yesterday, sailed from San Francisco April 10, carrying the Twen- ty-first infantry and Light Battery E, First artillery, 39 officers and 1,451 en- listed men, Colonel Jacob Kline, Twen- ty-first infantry, commanding. There are five transports now on the Pacific en route to Manila with re-en- forcements and stores for General Otis’ army. The Warren left San Francisco April 20, two days later than the Han- cock, and is due at Manila within the next ten days. She carried eight bat- teries of the Sixth artillery, including 30 officers and 912 men and also 240 re- cruits. She stopped en route and there- fore is not eXpected to make as good time as the Hancock. The Newport also sailed from San Francisco on the 20th ult. and is due at Manila in a few days. She stopped at Honolulu. She carried two light batter- ies. including 8 officers and 220 men and also 15 officers and 216 men out the ma- rine corps. The Morgan City left San Francisco arm 25 with 611 enlisted men and recruits. \ The Senator and the Ohio left San Francisco April 28, carrying betWeen them the entire Thirteenth regiment, numbering 30 officers and 1,329 men. All these vessels will stop at Homlu - en route and probably will occupy 30 days in making the trip, that being the average time. The only vessel yet to sail for which complete arrangements have been made is the Sherman. She is booked to carry the Sixth infantry and to start from San Francisco on the 226 inst. The transports Grant and Sheridan will aid in carrying troops betWeen San Francisco and Manila. The Grant, which has been detained at San Fran- cisco in quarantine, will follow the Sherman about a Week later, carrying he Sixteenth regiment of infantry. Indianapolis 11 Reserve City.

Heroic Treatment by His Wife Re- stored the Man to His Senses. NEW YORK, May 12. —Edward Wil- liams, who is employed at the Warren House, in Belvidere, N. J. became de- spondent on Wednesday and concluded to drown himself in the Delaware river, which runs near his home. He said goodby to his wife and children and, walking ~ to the river, entered the stream. He waded out until the water was waist deep, then hesitated. His wife saw him in the river. Put- ting the baby on the floor, she rushed out of the house, plunged into the cold stream and in a moment had her huS- band by the collar. Giving him a jerk, she ducked his head under the water. When he came to the surface, he tried to break away from her, but she gave him a cuff with her hand. Then, grab- bing him by the collar, she said: “Now, you get out of here into the house and change your clothes, or I’ll drown you on the spot.” Williams didn’t Stop to help his wife to the shore, but fairly flew up the bank and into the house to carry out her in— structions. He has not been near the river since. BASEBALL SCORES. , Results of Yesterday’s Games In the 'Natlmial League. At Boston— .
