MANILA, May 1.—The second confer-g
ence between General Otis and Colonel i
‘ -for the new Dewey hall at Norwich
Manuel Arguelles and'Lieutenant Jose
Bernal, who came from General Luna
under a flagpf truce to ask for a cessa-
tion of hostilities, was fruitless. It is
understood that the Filipino commis—
sioners were given the terms upon which
the Americans will consent to negotiate. a
E pelier since his father’s‘death, and after
The Filipinos admit that the ' have been
defeated.
.VVhile it is the general expectation
among Americans that the Fil'pino em.-
issaries will return with revised pro-
posals from General Antonio Luna. Ma-
jor General Otis is not letting this pros-
pect interfere with his preparations for
pushing the war. Saturday he ordered
Major General Lawton to return to
Angat, a few miles northwest of Nor-
zagaray, and not to advance aggres-
sively while the negotiations are pend-
ing. General MacArthur is apparently
acting on the same policy, but he is re-
pairing bridges and strengthening the
lines of his force, which is stretched out
with a four mile‘ front and within a
quarter of a mile of the enemy.
The possibilities of peace are gratify-
ing to a great majority of the army,
who have regaxded the war as am. un-
pleasant duty that must be pe1for1ne d
‘ acco1d1ng to A1ne11can traditions.
Manila is cheerful over the prospect
of a return to normal life, though there
are skeptics who remark that a truce
would enable the insurgents to rest un-
til the rainy season, upon which they
have been depending as an important
aid
The prisoners report that there are
75,000 refugees 1101111 of San Fernando.
This is not impossible, cor side1ing the
thick 3' populated region which the
Americans have cleared. It seems also
that smallpox is spreading among them.
The so called Filipino congress will
meet 'at San Fernando today.
When Mr. Dean C. ~Worcester of the
United States Philippine commission,
who accompanied the Filipino emissa—
ries from Calumpit, said to Colonel
Manuel Arguelles that the Americans
were under no obligations to refrain
from fighting, the Filipino officer re-
plied, “Would you fight while we are
discussing terms of peace?” Mr. Worces-
ter responded with the suggestion that
an armistice would give the Filipino
leaders time to escape. “My God, where
would we escape to. ‘r‘” the Filipino ex-
claimed, referring in this to the men—
acing hostile tribes behind the Filipino
lines.
Colonel Arguelles said that he was
much disappointed with the result of
his mission. He said also that Aguinal-
do expected Calumpit to be the ceme-
tery of the American army.
Lieutenant Colonel Wallace of the
First Montana regiment, Major Adams
and Major Shields, who slept on Friday
night in General Luna’s camp, where
they went to inform the Filipinos that
their envoys would return in safety,
found the Filipino commander cordial,
the Filipino troops removing their hats
as the Americans passed. The Filipi-
nos complained to them that the Amer-
icans used explosive bullets, which is
not the fact. The American officers re-
torted that the copper shells used by the
Filipinos are worse than explosive bul-
lets. General Luna said he regretted
being obliged to kill Americans, but that
was his business.
General W'heaton entertained Colonel
Arguelles and Lieutenant Jose Bernal
and provided them with horses to re-
turn to their camp.
In the course of the conference Satur-
day Mr. Jacob C. Schurman, chairman
of the United States Philippine com—
mission, told Colonel Arguelles that it
til: insurgents would now lay down
their arms he and his colleagues of the
commission would consult them regard-
ing the plan of government to be sub-
mitted to President McKinley. He said
he .could not promise that all their sug-
gestions would be adopted, but he could
assure them that there would be a pre-
sumption. in favor of their suggestions,
adding that the commissioners would be
especially desirous of satisfying the le—
gitimate aspirations of the Filipinos.
When Colonel Arguelles protested that
unconditional surrender would be hu-
miliation, Mr. Schurman replied:
“There would be no more humiliation
in General Otis treating ourIbrother
Filipinos as General Grant treated our
brother Americans at Appomattox.”
Mr. Schurman said yesterday:
“I believe Colonel Arguelles is person-
ally sincere and honest, though I have
no means of ascertaining the sentiments
and aims of the authorities behind him.
The Filipino people like other Asiatic
peoples, have no trust in mere words
without force behind them; but, with
force, I consider a conciliatory spirit of
the utmost importance.
Saturday, before General Otis had
issued the order directing General Law-
ton to return to Angat, the troops of
.his command encountered the rebels in
a circle of hills outside San Rafael,
about five miles northwest of Angat,
dislodging them after an hour’s fight-
ing. The Amer1cans had three wounded.
One thousand armed Filipinos fell back
. as the Americans advanced.
Theyillagers meet General Lawton,
offering him provisions. They dare not
flee into the mountain country on the
cost because of the robber tribes there,
and on the west are the troops of Gen-
eral MacArthur.

TRADE CONTINUES GOOD.

NE‘W YORK, April 29. ———R. G. Dun a
(3on webkly review of trade says
All elements considelcd, it is rather
that business has not ye
been set back a little. The uncertainty
about Sa.-.oa and the prolonging of dif—
ficulty in tr e Philippines might have
counted for something, the rising i111-
ports and falling exports for something.
But there has been full faith that for-
eign difficulties would soon be cleaned.
away, and the movement in e: change
is generally connected with speculative
rather than legitimate operations since
accounts of trade still indicate a large
excess of exports. '
The state of foreign trade justifies
confidence rather than apprehension. It
is the season for the low est e :ports of
staples, and theii piices this year are
extremely low, but the unprecedented
foreign demand for manufactured prod—
ucts so far compensates that the excess
of cxportsrin' March was heavy and ap-
parently has been in April.
