\7odtl Shift His Difficulties Into the
Field of Diplomacy ,
SOKE SORT Of RECOGNITION
Ho 'Wishes to Semi Civilian Govern
mental CoimulHHlon to Discuss Situa
tion Writes n Jetter to the President
of the llppubllc" Otis Willing to Cor-
rcHiiond With III in an General of the
Insurgents.
MANILA , . Oct. 2. Auguinaldo's
third attempt to shift the difficulties
into the field or diplomacy is a repe
tition of the other one or two , wi.a
an impossible endeavor to obtain some
sort of recognition of his so-called
government.
The Filipino envoys had an hour's
conference , with General Otis this
morning. They brought from Augui-
naldo a message that he desired peace
and wished to send a civilian gov
ernmental commission to discuss the
situation. General Otis replied that it
was impossible for him to recognize
Aguinaldo's government in that way.
They presented a letter from Agui-
naldo as "president of the republic , "
which was largely a repetition o his
recent appeals ror recognition. General
Otis informed them that while he was
willing to correspond with Aguinaido
as general of the insurgent forces ne
must positively ueclinc to recognize
him as president of the civil govern
ment. Another conference will be held
tomorrow.
The Filipinos will remain two or
three days. Their niovements are unre
stricted , but they" are under the con
stant chaperonage of Captain John
son of the Sixteenth infantry. Today
they visited the hospitals and distrib
uted money among the wounded Filipinos
pines , after which they made calls and
received visitors at their hotel.
Natives in their Sunday clothing
thronged tne plaza in front of the ho
tel all day stretching their necks to
ward the window for a glimpse cf the
showy uniforms of the envoys. The
assemblage finally increased to 1,000
people. When the envoys emerged
for an afternoon drive the natives re
moved their hats deferentially , and a
crowd in vehicles or on foot followed
the carriage tnrough the streets.
"We desire peace , but peace with
independence and honor , " said Gen
eral Alejandrino today , while convers
ing with a representative of the Asso
ciated Press. He impresses one as dig
nified and impassionate and as a Keen
man of the world. He was educated
in Europe and designed the remarka
ble entrenchments from Manila to
Tarac. While reticent regarding his
mission , his conversation throws an
interesting light on the Filipino view
of the American attitude.
"How long can the Filipino army
and people stand 60,000 American
troops ? " asked the representative or
the Associated Press.
"Fighting in our way we can 'main
tain a state of war and the necessity
of a large army of occupation indefin
itely. You Americans are holding a
few miles around Manila , a narrow
line of railroad to Angeles and a cir
cle of country around San Fernando.
But you are ignorant of the resources
of Luzon. We hold the immense rich ,
productive northern country , from
which to draw. Our people contrib
ute the money ana food which main
tain our army and this is done at a
minimum of cost.
"It is an interesting question what
the cost to the American people is of
maintaining the American troops in
the Philippines. We do not , of course ,
know the amount , but it must be ex
cessive. We perceive what an Amer
ican soldier requires in this climate.
On the other hand a Filipino exists
with a handful of rice and a pair of
linen trousers. We do not have to pay
our soldiers and can practically hold
UP their wages as long as we desire.
Even without our present supply of
arms and ammunition we could keep
your army occupied for years.
"With an expense that grows daily
how long will your people stand it ?
The Filipino people do not wish to
continue the fighting. We have no
army contractors. We have no busi
ness" men making profits from thi
maintenance o four army ; there is
nothing in it for us , nor are the sala
ries large enough to keep us fighting
for money and position. "

Story that Imprisoned Miners Arc IJolnj-
Subjectcd to Punishment * .
DENVER , Oct. 2. A special to the
News from Anaconda , Mont. , says :
President Boyce of the Western
Federation of Miners will immediate
ly appeal to President MciCinley in
behalf of the imprisoned Coeur
d'Alene miners \Vardner. .
For the last eight days , it is alleged ,
all the prisoners have been kept on a
bread and water diet and for trivial
violations of prison rules have been
punished by being obliged to stand
for eight hours immovable in the hot
sun. For refusing to work the straw
has been taken from their bunks and
they have been compelled to sleep on
the bare boards. No tobacco is per
mitted and no visitors arc allowed to
speak to the prisoners.
It is alleged that under tnese un
usual punishments the prisoners arc
rapidly breaking down in health and
some , under the sun ordeal , have be
come crazed. These men have been
imprisoned five months without trial
and in the meantime two sessions
of the district court have been held.
Senator Carter will be asked to use
his influence with the War depart
ment immediately.

BEWEY NEEDS REST BADLY.
Functions of Last Week Prove Almost
Too Much for HU Strength.
NEW YORK , Oct. 2. The functions-
and the receptions that have figured so
prominently in the daily life of Ad
miral Dewey since his arrival off
Saudjr Hook last Tuesday morning
have proven almost too much for his
strength. The admiral has been under
such a perpetual physical and nervous
strain that he is now almost exhausted.
Saturday's ceremonies were the moat
taxing on his strength of any that he
has yet had to undergo , and he appear
ed today looking , pale and worn. De
spite the fact that he retired early Sat
urday evening and enjoyed a gooi
night's rest , the admiral yesterday was
too fatigued to do more than remain
in his room the greater part of the
time and rest quietly.

'TWAS ALL FOR DEWEY/
Most Maprplflcent Marine Spoctac'o Cv
fie en in ua American I'ort.
NEW YORK , Sept. 30. No Romar
conqueror returned from his triumph of
barbaric splendor , no victorious king
coining home from a successful war
ever received such a magnificent ova
tion as overwhelmed Admiral Dewej
yesterday as he stood on the bridge of
the Olympia at the head of a mag
nificent fleet ci thunderers of the deep
followed by a thousand vessels of
peace , each tiered anti coated black
with people , and sailed over the brigh
waters of the upper bay and up the
broad pathway of the sun-lit rivei
whose banks were gay with million
of flags and dreamers dancing in the
wind.
The sky was blue , the water rippled
under the fresh wind that held flag0
out straight and jaunty , and the
wharves and piers , and rocky heights
and grassy l.nolls were black with
frantic , enthusiastic people wh.
strived weakly to make their shout
heard above the perfect bedlam of toot
ing whistles rhat accompanied the ad
miral ashore ana afloat.
As the tomb of General Grant on
Riverside drive was reached the llecr
paid its tribute to the memory of the
great warrior with a national salute of
twenty-one rearing guns. The fleet
then anchored and reviewed the al
most endless procession of craft thai
steamed past , all so ouroened with
Humanity that they looked as if they
would turn over before they got back
to their piers.
Toward the end , the parade became
disorganized , and it took nours for
the heterogeneous flotilla to get by.
Darkness at last brought relief to the
tired admiral , who had stood on the
bridge for six hours bowing his ac
knowledgments to the stentorian ex
pressions of homage.
New York has never witnessed be
fore anything approaching this won
derful , remarkaolc demonstration. The
Columbian naval paraae , the declica
tion of Grant's tomb and the recep
tion of the North Atlantic squadron
last fall all pale before this gigantic-
ovation to the sailor , who in a single
morning destroyed an enemy's fleet
without the ICES of a man or a ship.
It is not beyona the mark to say that
3,000,000 people viewed the pageant
from ashore and that 250,000 were
afloat.
LOOKS VERY WARLIKE.
Situation in the Transiaiil Appears to Ho
Mora Critiritl Than 1'Jver.
LONDON , Sept. 30. ( New York
World Cablegram. ) I obtained last
night from a high ministerial source
the following authentic facts concerning -
ing yesterday's fatettil meeting of the
British cabinet. When the ministers
assembled they were already in possession -
session of a draft of Chamberlain's
proposed ultimatum to the Boer repub
lic. Tire terms 01 me settlement laid
down were :
1. The substitution of the articles of
the Pretoria convention of 1881 , for
those of the London contention of 1881 ,
J ;
respecting the Boer republic's relations
with foreign powers. This substitu
tion means the abolition of all rights
on the part of the public to deal with
foreign powers and would amply recall
Dr. i eyds as Boer commissioner in
Europe.
2. The abolition of all legislation re
specting aliens adopted by the republic
since 1881. This would remove all dis
abilities placed by successive Boer
ordinances on the outlanders. J
3. Tne granting of municipal auto
nomy to the Rand. This would give
control of all local affairs such as ,
pclics , sanitation , and so forth , to the
district mainly inhabited by the outlander -
lander population. It is the revival
of a scheme of home rule for the Rand ,
suggested by Chamberlain to Kruger
after the Jamieson raid and contempt
uously refused by Kruger.
4. ihe removal of all religious disa-
jilities. At present Catholics and Jews
ire disabled from holding many offices ,
even the most important kind.
5. The disarmament of the two great
forts which command Johannesburg.

MANILA , Sept. 29. The movement
against Porac , about eight miles from
Bacolor , in Pampanga province , which
began at daybreak this morning , io
conducted personally by General Mac-
Arthur. General Wheeler , with the
Ninth regiment and a battery , was ad
vancing by two roads , while General
Wheaton , commanding the Twelfth
and Seventeenth regiments , is moving
to block the insurgents from retreat
ing to the north. The Thirty-sixth
regiment accompanies General Mac-
Arthur.
General MacArthur entered Pora :
after an hour's fighting. The Ameri
can loss was slight and the insurgent
loss is not known. The enemy fie-1
northward. When the Americans en
tered the town they found it prac
tically desortcd.
The attacking party moved on Ponu :
in two columns. The Ninth infantry ,
with two guns from Santa Rita , was
commanded by General Wheeler , and
the Thirty-sixth infantry , under
Colonel Bell , with one gun , accom
panied General MacArthur from San
Antonio. Both columns struck the
town at 9 o'clock and opened a brisk
fire , which was replied to by the
enemy for half an hour. Then the in
surgents fled and the Americans
marched over their trenches and took
possession of the place. Just before
the fight Smith's command , at Angeles ,
made a demonstration by firing artil
lery Jin the railroad track
Liscum reported one casualty and
Bell reported four of his comman-1
wounded. The artillery did not have
any men injured.
CONQUERING BEAR IS DEAD.
Gi'i7.7.1 pd Sioux lirave Steps From Motor
Car to Happy limiting CrniuuN.
OMAHA , Sept. 29. Conquering Bear ,
ihe grizzled warrior of the Ogallala
Sioux , is dead. The old brave fell a
victim to the onward march of civiliza
tion and lost his life because he was
unaccustomed to the ways of the city.
He was riding down town from the
Exposition grouds in company with
another member of his tribe about : :
o'clock. At Nineteenth and Cuming
street the other inciian alighted from
the car without letting the old man
know it. As soon as Conquering Beat-
saw that his companion had left the
car he stepped off and as the car was
at full speed he was hurled in a heap
on the stone pavement and never
made a motion of life afterward.
The ambulance was called frcm the
exposition and the body removed. A
physician did all in his power to revive -
vive the Indian , but his olforts were in
vin. There were no bad wounds on
his person and no indication that his
m
skull had been fractured. The doctor
gave it as his opinion that he canie
to his death from a shock to his bran.
His heart action was good , but no
seemed unable to breathe. Fifteen
minutes after he was brought to the
hospital he was pronounced dead. P
