Washington. October 2—A deapatch
from General Otis was received at the
War Department this morning giving
an account of his meeting, with the In-
aurgent envoys. General Otis said the
interview with Agutaaldo’a representa-
tives indicated that the leaders were
manoeuvring solely with a view to ac-
cure recognition of theiiaaurgent gov-
ernment. All such o'erturea had been
rejected and tli envoys informed that

HARD HEADS.
A duel among native Australians
affords a Ilroll study of physical endur-
ance and natural courtesy. The affairc
d'honneur is conducted on orthodox
lines. Seconds are chosen and the
place of meeting arranged each patty
assuring the other that the remem-
brance of the Insult or the casus belli
can only be removed with a waddy
stick. usually mentioning at the same
time the design and weight of his own
weapon.
The duel then proceeds somewhat
on these lines: The aggrieved one
bends forward. hands on knees. and
invites his opponent to test the sound-
ness of his club on his title chelleng-
er‘sl bend. Politeness does not demand
that the vigor ot the blow be modified
by regrets or remorse. much less such
a reply as, "Not at all. air: after you."
