Agninnldo \Vnnts to Convene the In- surgent Congress and Asks Three Months’ Arinistlce—Refusnl to Recognize Rebel Government. MANILA, May 4.—-The Filipino com— missioners held another conference of two hours’ duration with General Otis yesterday morning and subsequently visited the American 'Philippine com— missioners. The situation is apparent- ly unchanged. General Otis, in an in- terview after t e conference, said that the Filipinos asked for a three months’ armistice in the entire archipelago. They admitted under questioning that they did not control all of the islands, but said that they wished to obtain time to ascertain the opinions of all the peo- ple. Aguinaldo also requests time in order, as he says, to convene the Filipino con- gress and have the situation discussed by that body. General Otis positively refused to grant an armistice. -. The Filipino commissioners argue that the Spanish prisoners should be regarded in the same light as Ameri- cans. The Spaniards were the old ene- my and the Americans are the present enemy. Besides, the United States have become possessed of the Spanish prop- erty and have assumed the Spanish ob- ligations. Consequently their footing is similar to that of the Spaniards before the recent war began. During the advance of General Hale's troops to Pulilau Tuesday Wheeler's cavalry, which had gone on ahead, met a body of Filipinos, who failed to return the Americans’ fire, but sent a white flag with the explanation that they had received orders not to fight during the negotiations with the Americans. The Filipinos were allowed half an hour to withdraw. MacArthur, Wheaton and Hale have moved their field headquarters to the front at Apalit. General Lawton is ad- vancing toward San Miguel. General MacArthur is now assaulting the town of San Tomas, about five miles northwest of Calumpit. The Americans are fighting for the bridge, and the reb- els are burning the town. A Spanish prisoner who had been abandoned by the insurgents at Pulilau told the Americans that the loss of the Filipinos at Quingua last week was 200 killed. Thir ty- -eight of the dead were buried in one trench. The supply ship Cleveland has arriv- ed here. Corbin Says Filipinos \Vill Surrender WASHINGTON, May 4.—The war de- partment has received advices from General Otis which tell of the failure of the peace overtures made by the insur- gents. For some reason the authorities de- cline to give out the text of the dis- patch. The military authorities have not, according to their own statements, abandoned their previous belief that the end of the war is in sight and that it is only a question of a short time when the surrender of the insurgent forces will occur. It is significant that Adjutant General Corbin, after reading the suppressed dispatch of General Otis, said that he had no reason to change his previous opinion that there would be a great deal of “backing and filling” on the part of the insurgents, which would end with their surrender. The League Not Interested. BOSTON, May 4.——Hon. George S. Boutwell, president of the Anti—impe- rialist league, states that the league is not interested in sending out the pam- phlets handled by Hon. Edward Atkin- son which have been ordered taken from‘the United States mails by the United States authorities. Ex-Governor Boutw ell said: “Mr. Atkinson is a mem- ber of and is interested in the Anti- -im- perialist league, “but the league is not interested in the special work of Mr Atkinson. I-Ie'ils sending out his pam- phlets as a p1ivate matter, and we have nothing to do With it. Not that the league repudiates or approyes the course. The leagué has taken no ac- tion on a matter in which it is not inter- ested. We shall keep on sending out our; literature. I believe,” he added, “that we still have the use of the mails." About Chicago Sweatshops. WASHINGTON, May 4.——-The indus- trial commission resumed its public hearings in its headquarters at the Bliss building yesterday. The first wit- ness was Florence Kelly, for four years chief factory inspector of Illinois. Her statement dealt particularly with sweatshops in Chicago. Shepainted the picture in dark colors. Of the 200,000 factory workers in Illinois she said 150,- 000 were in Cook county. Practically all the ready made clothing and much of the so .called merchant tailor work of the city was sweatshop work pure and simple. The conditions surround- ing the workers were unsanitary and harmful in a marked degree. Child la- bor, she said, was also used in direct defiance of the 14 year age limit in force in the state. McKinley Wanted In Omaha. WASHINGTON, May _4. —- Senator Thurstonand Representative Mercer of Nebraska and Mr. W. A. Hunin, corre- spondent of the. Omaha Bee, yesterday called upon the president and invited him to visit the Greater America expo- sition at Omaha betWeen July 1 and Sept. 1.

Germans Would Not Sign the Proclo— motion For Armistice. N. Z., May 4.—Mataafa, the rebel 'chicf, has accepted an armistice. The rebels had massed in force near Apia, and they held the chief food supplies, but the astute chief, so jubilant over the situation, has weakened. The German authorities, however, re- fused point blank to sign the proclama- tion announcing the armistice. When the instructions from the pow- ers to ”cease hostilities were received a few days ago, the Germans doubted them. Théy declared that no such in- structions had been sent from their gov- ernment and that they would maintain the stand they had taken in the matter to the bitter end. This seriously in- creased the difliculties of the situation. Mataafa, at the head of a large body oi" rebels, was then slowly advancing to- ward Apia, and the whites living in the outskirts of the city were completely at the mercy of Mataafa’s men. The rebel army went into camp near the entrance to the city, and their campfires could be seen at night lighting up the country. EXPOSITION SITE TRANSFERRED Commissioner Peck Congratulated Because of His Victory. PARIS, May 4.——M. Alfred Picard, commissary general of the exposition, in a brief address transferring the site for the American building, told Mr. Peck that he was happy to see the United States conquer, if onlytempo- rarily, territory of France. He was flat- tered to be permitted to preside at a ceremony which, he believed, would lead to the tightening of the bonds of friendship and sisterhood that united the two great republics. He added that he hoped sincerely that the United States would show France and the world what they still had to learn and where they must go to acquire the knowledge. M. Picard concluded by ex- pressing the hope that Americans would fiock to the exhibition and contribute largely to its success. The site was then marked by four American flags. Rapid Matchmaking.

Va., May 4.—A severe electrical storm passed over this section yesterday, doing much damage to property.
