Spain Tells of Ainca'icnm Rout.
MANILA, May 15.—The civilian mem-
bers of the United States Philippine
commission are favorable to the meet-
ing with a Filipino commission which 1
was suggested Saturday on behalf of
Aguinaldo by Lieutenant Reyes of the
staff oft. General Gregorio del Pilar, who
came to General Lawton under a flag
of truce bearing the proposal. It is
thought by the American commission-e
ers that the idea may have resulted
from a recent meeting of the so called
Filipino congress at San Isidro. Definite
information on this point, how ever, can-
not yet be obtained, though the local
Filipino committee, which is in close
communication with the leaders of the
rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure
peace.
Ten members of Major General Law-
ton’s band of scouts, under W. M.
Young, the old Indian fighter, entered
the towu of San Miguel, about 15 miles
'north of N orzagaray, not aware of what
place it was. They found 200 Filipinos
there, but the rebels, taking the scouts
for the advance of General Lawton’s
army, fled after firing a few shots.
Young and another scout were wounded
and have been brought to Manila.
The Ninth infantry and a mountain
battery of six guns have been sent to
the front.
The uniform quiet now prevailing in
Manila has led the authorities to relax
the rule under which the city streets
were cleared from 7 to 8:30 p. m., and
last evening there was the largest and
most brilliant assembly of pedestrians
and people in carriages to listen to a
band concert on the Luneta that has
been known since the Spaniards left.
rofessor Schurman, president of the
United States Philippine commission,
gave a farewell luncheon yesterday to
Admiral Dewey, at which Professor
Dean C. Worcester and Colonel Charles
Denby of the commission, with General
acArthur, Mrs. Lawton and others,
were present. The health of the ad-
miral was drunk with the utmost cor-
diality.
A Dispatch From Otis.
WASHINGTON, May 15.—The follow-
ing dispatch from Major General Otis,
dated May 14, giving the status of the
military situation as it now exists in the
operations against the insurgents, has
been 1eceived at the v ar department:
“Situation is as follows. Lawton, from
Baliuag, has taken Ildefonso and San
Miguel, to north, with slight loss and
driving considerable force of enemy.
Gunboats and canoes accompany 1,500
men under Kobbe up Rio Grande river
from Calumpit; depart 16th. MacArthur
remains at San Fernando,covering coun-
try. Yesterday messenger from Agui—
naldo expressing wish to send commis-
sion to Manila for conference with
United States commission to arrange
terms of peace. Directions given to
pass body representative insurgents to
Manila should it present itself.”
Spain's 111 Treatment.
MADRID, May 15.—Senor Don Fran-
cisco Silvela. the Spanish premier, in an
interview regarding the attack by the
Filipinos upon the Spanish garrison at
island of Mindanao, in
which two Spanish officers and three
men were Wounded and one man was
killed said. ‘fIt is very painful to us to
have suffe1ed these losses in a territo-
1y that does not belong to us. We left
these troops in the Philippines in the
hope that they might aid in securing
the release of the Spanish prisoners in
the hands of the Filipinos. Our efforts
in this direction have been fruitless.
Aguinaldo refuses to treat with us, and
a Frenchman (M. Dumarais) who had
offered on our behalf to treat with the
enemy was killed by them.
“America has not yet succeeded, as
she has no more authority than we had.
We cannot leave troops any longer in
a territory that we are not obliged to
Rios to use three steamers for the im-
mediate transportation of our troops
from Zamboanga and Y010 and to ac-
quaint Major General Otis with these
instructions, so that the American com-
mander may possess the; territories we
are abandoning.”
Madrid Hears Bad News.
MADRID, May 15.—The Filipino corn-
mittee has issued a manifesto to the
press declaring that the “Filipino gov-
ernment” will reject all negotiations for
peace on the part of theAmericans based
upon any scheme of autonomy ,and will
demand that the United States fulfill
the engagement made before the decla-
ration of war with Spain. The mani—
festo denies that General Antonio Luna
has surrendered and asserts that Major
General Lawton is routed and that the
hospitals are “filled with Americans,"
hundreds of'whom are insubordinate. '
Insurgents Attack Spaniards.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—The war
department has received the following
dispatch from Manila, dated May 14: “It
is, reported that at Zamboanga insur-
gents attacked Spanish troops 11th inst,
using quick firing guns and arms cap-
Spanish
general and tw0 officers wounded. Few
casualties among troops. Spanish gar-
rison now besieged. Water supply cut
off and troops calling for relief.”

RUSSIAN DEMAND REFUSED.
China Informs M. de Giers That the
Concession Is Impossible.
SHANGHAI. May 15.—The tsung-li-
.yamegn (Chinese foreign office) has re-
plied to the Russian‘minister at Peking,
M. de Giers, that the government is un-
able ‘to accede to the Rusian demand
made last Wednesday for a new railway
' concession connecting Peking with Rus-
sia’s present system in Manchuria.
Not since the taking of Port Arthur
by Russia have the Chinese been so agi-
tated as over this demand. Whether
M. de Giers named a specific route is
not yet ascertainable, some officials
stating that only a. preliminary notice
was given. by Russia and others that
she is asking for a line direct from Pe-
king to Shan- Hai- Kwon. .
Certainly the British legation in Pe-
king had no previous knowledge that
such a proposal was coming from St.
Petersburg. The concession asked for
would ruin the existing northern rail-
ways, in which British capital to the
l amount of £2,000,000 is invested, but
there seems to be no alternative route
without interfering with plans for rail-
way extension which the Chinese them-
selves have in mind.
It is believed that Russia’s action in
this matter is intended to demonstrate
to the world that the recent convention
with Great Britain respecting spheres
of interest in China, which was notified
to the Chinese government almost im-
mediately before this latest concession
was demanded, has not fettered the ac—
tion of Russia at the court of Peking
and also to strengthen Russia’s prestige
with the Chinese, which was unfavora—
bly affected by the withdrawal of her
late protest respecting the northern
railways.

AS FULL AS A GOAT.
The Iowa” s Mascot Attends a “min
and Disgrace: the Ameri-
can Navy.
The goat of the battleship lowa suc-
cumbed to the temptations of shore
leave early one morning recently, and
was locked up at the city prison on the
charge of “drunk and disorderly,” says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
In company with thxec or ‘four jack-
ies 1" om the lowa. the trout had been
attending a. wake at the undertaking
establishment. of Carew & English, at
Van Ness avenue and .Oak street. In
the course ”of the evening his conduct
became too boisterous even for a wake.
Officer S- Kain made the arrest, and
one of the Iowa jackies who were the
companions of the goat’s revelry went
part way to the station with his dis-
graced friend, and then at thought of
the funthey were all having back at
the wake he said to the goat:
old man, I hope you won’t think hard
of me if I go back. You’re in good
hands. Just go along, and I’ll join you
after a bit.”
Thus it happened that the convivial
mascot of the warship, stumbling along
and bleating occasionally some very
unmusical notes, deserted by his mess-
mates in time of heavy weather, was,
in the words of the mariner, towed into
port with his: propeller shaft damaged.
After he woke up he was turned over
to his friends and taken aboard.
Bill’s behavior at the wake is de-
scribed as having been something re-
markable. The services in memory of
the dead had lasted through the even-
ing and until two o’clock in the morn-
ing. At. that hour it was necessary

‘1 Winning at Dice Revealed
by 111': Odd Table. "
Among the battered flotsam and
jetsam that has accumulated in a SEC?
end-hand store in New Orleans, says
theTimes-Democrat, is a shabby round
table with a curious secret, and no
doubt a still more cuiious history. The
top was once covered with green bil-
‘liard cloth, which is worn to. tatters
and discloses a. steel plate set- in the.
center and perhaps ten inches square.
The whole top is loose ~and can be re-
moved, revealing an interior space con-
taining a. horseshoe magnet wound
with a. wire and connected with an ar-
mature, very much like that of an or-
examinat-ion shows an insulated .wire
running down one of the legs to a
small knob or button, protruding on
the. outside. When the t0p is in place
the steel plate rests directly over the
magnet.
This strange device is explained
clearly enough by its present. owner.
“Itis a dice table,” he said, “onwhich a.
lot of money has been won. When it
was in order there was a goodesized
battery inside connected with the mag-
net. When the. knob on the leg was
pressed the current. was turned on, and
that. made the steel plate magnetic.
The dice they used with it had small
metal disks on one face, and as long
as the current was on they naturally
fell that side down. When the knob
was released they would fall any way
they chanced to come, so all that was
necessary for the operator to do was to
keep his knee on the button and he
could absolutely control his play."
