In an interview Willi General Otis ut the former Span ish governor', palaco In Malacanang, tlio American commander said: "Tho insurgents thought that their position upon tho river bank nt Cal umplt wns imprognablc. They made a successful stand there against the (Spaniards In 1800. Our success In storming their strong Intronchinenti has demoralized them and tho people uro ready to give up tho fight. "As to tho emissaries who have been sent by (General Luna, my opinion t that thoy desire to gain time. I Hoy nay that thoy wish to submit the ques tion of continuing tho war or not to tholr congress, meeting In May. These leaders think that they represent the Filipino people. "1 answered that I wouly ho glad tc receive emissaries from their Insur gent chiefs provided they camo with a proposition for ubsoluto surrender. Theso wore tho only term that 1 could consider. "Tho emissaries would not ngree tc this, as they thought it contrary tc tho dictates of honor. Tho emlssaric ndded that If pcaco were forced upon them it would not bo permanent." The Filipino refugees uro ull gath ered at San Fernando, The Insurgent soldiers aro said to bo In mutiny. Tho envoys from General Luna wore cry hospitably treated by General Otis, who provided them with a house and with a guard and permitted them to visit frlonds here. Returning to tho palace this morning tho onvoya saw an Illustration of Amirlcin re sources. A long train of wagons and pack mules was Just hlarting with provisions for General Lawton,- who lias reuched Marunco. Tho confercnoo at tho palace lasted three hours. Jacob G. Schurman o( the United States Philippine commis sion was present and Admiral Dewey dropped in for an hour. Tho discus alon was generally between General Otis and Colonel Arguclczcx, who had been selected for tho mission by Gen eral Luna because ho hail known Gen eral Otis. Colonol Arguolezsjs served upon tho Philippine commission which root the American commission before tho war In an effort to smooth over tho Impending troubles. Manlfa U divided between two opin ions, tho majority believing that tin Filipinos deslro pcaco, while others think they are sparring for time In which to rehabilitate their de moral Ued army. The latter opinion gulned color from tho fact that reinforce ments have been sent to tho south, op posite tho American lines. Colonol Arguelezez, who Is u lnwycr, splendidly Illustrated tho Malay sub tlety at words. Ho declared with ap parent frankness that tho Fillplnc leaders wanted a chanca to glvs up the strugglo gracofu'.ly, through the congress Instead of surrendering igno mlnlously, ho asked for a fortnight' armistice, so thut the congross might be summoned on May 1. At tho same time ho ondeavoroil to commit the Americans to greater cqncesslons. and wanted tho torms guaranteed by treaty, r Htfwas told that recognition of the Filipino government was Impossible and he was given to understand that a, written guarantee of amnesty for alt insurgents was tho utmost that could bo given. Colonel Arguelczez argued that Spain had given similar guarantees and broken them, and he laid much stress upon tho Spaniards' honor. He porslstcntly declared that the Filipinos must bo permitted to re tire with honor. In conversation with Mr. Schurman, Colonel Arguelczez reviewed the ques tion of Indepcudcnca and was referred to tho statement in the commission er' proclamation that tho Filipinos would be given an Incrcaslug measure of self government as soon as thoy proved themselves worthy of it. Mr. Schurman wamod Argiulczcz thut the longer war was wugjd and the more were killed tho stronger would bo the animosltici hindering an nmlcablu co operation betweon tho two people; for the prosperity of tho islands. The insurgents hnvo un insurrec tion on their own hands, tho Macca bees, traditional foes of tho Tagnls, are rising In tho north.

Ktnpcrot William has given another Indication of his friendship for the United States by sending a personal cable dispatch to I'ri'sideut McKinlcy, thanking him for his action in authorizing the land ing of a German cable on American soil. Immediately upon tho rccolpt of the message It was telegraphed from the White liouso to the President in Phil adelphia. Thu President hus replied to the emperor's message, thanking him for the friendly statements there in made nnd reiterating the friend ship of tho United Stutos for Ger many. It Is understood Emperor William's message is u most friendly communi citlon, giving every indication of his purposo to promoto the amlcablo rela tions betweon the two government. With tho Coghlnn Incident settled, Hear Admiral Kant, admonished und the three powers In accord respecting Sumoa und with tho negotiations for n reciprocity treaty with Germany making satisfactory though slow progress, tho authorities aro more than pleased over the conditions of the re lations of tho United Stntes and thu German empire. Washington, May 2. General Miles' friends express much dissatisfaction over the reported finding of tho Wade court of inquiry. They tuke especial exception to tho fact that while tho court does not recommend that fur ther proceedings bo taken, It declares that General Miles' allegations with respect to chemicalized beef were un foundo.1, but sustains his contention that the canned beef was not a suita ble continuous ration for issue. The board directly criticises Gen eral Miles for falling to promptly no tify the wur department of reports of bad beef, and General Hrccklnrldgo comes in for similar criticism, "Lin balmcd beef" charges nro held not to have been proven. It lb also held that the use of beef hards lu tho Santiago campaign was impracticable. The board says nothing about fur ther action and leaves the assumption that the entire matter Is to rest with a criticism of Miles and n few other officers who complained. This Is just what arouses Miles' friends, who look upon it as the board's idea of the easiest manner of letting u disagree able uffulr die. Tho criticism of tho general for not reporting to the department the complaints mado respecting tho beef lias nrouscd a spirit of resentment and there is renewed talk amoag his friends of the adviHalillty of his urging a congres sional Investigation. It is pointed out that tho next house is Republican by only a very small majority and that as tho Democrats nnd Populists may be expected to vote together for nn investigation into the entire beef subject, only a few Kcpubtlcan mem bers would lm necessary to secure the authority for conducting the Inquiry.

Mitel and Othor Ofllceri Aro Severely CrltloMed. Washington, May 2. Tho Wade rourt of inquiry has concluded its work In connection with the allega tions of General Miles concerning the beef supplied to tho army during- tha war with Spain Tho verdict is that tho charges which General Miles made beforu tho war Investigating commission are not sustained in reference to the refrigcr nting beef, although his contention thut tha canned roast beef was not a suitable continuous ration isadmittcd. The court finds the charges of "em balming" the fresh beef to have been unsubstantiated by testimony, and says no chemicals were used to pre- servo It. It also finds th.it it would have been Impracticable to secure beef on the hoot for the Cuban campaign. Tho finding is likewise in opposition to tho ussertlon that the use of the beef was an experiment. The fact is set forth that the canned roast beef hud not been used to any appreciable extent before the begin ning of this war nnd It is therefore regarded ns a practically untried ra tion. In view of this fact, the com missary general of subsistence is roundly criticised for the purchase of thu meat in such extensive quantities. Accordingly the court finds that the meat was not "doctored;" that it was the beef of commerce; that there was no more neglect than was incident to tho. hurried preparation for the war; that the inspection, while generally according to regulations, was not al ways up to tha requirements und that the sickness of the troops was not to tuy great degree occasioned by tho use of either the canned or thu refrig erated beef. On tho other hand, it is found that General Miles hlinselt did not report during the war that the beef, either refrigerated or canned, was unt as a ration. Other qfllccrs who gate their testimony before the court wor. found I also to have neglected what tin court voncj'ivcs to 'havo been their dily In this respect, and all are blulned for this fail uro. Hut tho court docs not think further orouacdings necessary. i ALTGELD CRITICALLY LL. Annnuncn. Tint He IVnnta to lie Unlteil Ntittnt Henntnr From Michigan. IlKTitoir, Mich.. Muy 2.

Nr.w Yoiik, Muy 2. Hud a bomb shell burst in their offices the corpor ations holding public franchises could not have been more surprised than they ucre ut the passage of the Ford bill, under which franchises will be taxed us real estate. They had re ceived assurances und had tuken measures which they were confident would kill the bill. Governor Roose velt has announced that he will sign the bill Monday or Tuesday. While tho olllciuls of none of the corporations would discuss their plans or give any opinion In regard to the coming law, it is regarded us certain that It will be bitterly fought in tho courts, on the ground that it taxes the siwno value twlco once us real estate In the shape of the franchise und onco as personal proparty in the shape of stocks und bonds. Klrksvlllc, Mo., Storm Hifcpt and Nearly 101) IVrnoin Killed. St. Louis, Mo., April 28. A special to tho Globc-Democr.it from Kirks vlllc, Mo., says: A gathering storm thnt had been threatening all afternoon broke upon Kirksvlllc nt 0:20 o'clock last night In all the fury of n cyclone. A path a quarter of a mile wide nnd as clean as the prairie wns swept through tho eastern portion of the city nnd four hundred buildings, homes nnd mer cantile, were leveled to the ground In scattered ruins. Jn the heavy rain thnt followed tho people who hud escaped turned out to rescue the injured. For two hours not much was accomplished ns ull was confusion, but by 8 o'clock twenty-flvo dead bodies had been taken from tho ruins. It is confidently expected thnt tho list of dead will rcacli between fifty and sixty, if it docs not exceed that. Almost u thousand people arc more or less injured. Daylight will be neces sary before nn adequate estimate of loss of life and property can be had, Each blanched face reports a new ca lamity. The storm first struck the eastern portion of the city occupied by bourd Ing houses of students of three educn lionul institutions there. It is thought a number of students arc among tho dead. The institutions nro not hurt. Tiie storm went northwest nnd wiped out Patterson's nursery, pulling tho trees out of the ground nnd hurling them through the city. A second edi tion of the cyclone followed the first twenty minutes later. It cumc ns nn inky black cloud wide ly distributed nnd covered the whole town, but passed above the houses, do ing no material damage nnd gathering fury ns it went. It undoubtedly struck the ground u few miles out of Kirks vlllc. KILLED IN AN IOWA STORM. Three Reported Head droit Damage to Farm Property. Onawa, Iowa, April 29.

In recognition of his gallantry in the Philippine cam paign, Colonel Frederick Funston of tho Twentieth Kansas regiment was appointed a brlgndicr general of vol unteers by tho President this morn ing. Tho appointment was made upon this cablegram, tinted Manila, from Major General Otis: "Manila, Mny .1 Adjutant Gen eral, Washington: MncArthur strongly recommends Colonel Funston'a np polntmcnt brigadier general for sig nal skill nnd gallantry, crossing Itio Grande nnd most guhunt services since commencement of war. I tirgo ap pointment; Funston ublo as leudsr of men nnd has earned recognition. Otis." Adjutant-General Cor bin notified Colonel Funston of his appointment by a cablegram, which also ordered him to report to the commanding gen eral for assignment. Ho will bo as signed to a brigade at ones. "The appointment of Colonel Fun ston as n brigadier general was not made to fill a vacancy," said General Corbln, "for no vacancy exists. Au thority for it was found in that sec tion of the army bill which authorizes the President to retain for a parlod of six months volunteer ofiicars now in tho service. Colonel Funston has merited his promotion. He is a bravo man and n good soldier." General Corbln sent a telegram to the governor of Kansas notifying him of Funston's promotion and requesting him to appoint a colonel fur tho Twen tieth Kansas at once. Topkka, Kan., May 3. Tho sue ccssor of Colonel Funston, promoted to brigadier general, will probably be Major Wilder S. Metcalf. Ed Littlo has no chance of promotion under tills administration, it can be snfely said, though Governor Stanloy as serts that he has not considered tho appointment to the vacancy. Ilu lias, however, expressed his feelings against Littlo several times and has for him no fooling of friendliness. Tho appointment of Metcalf will ig nore not ouly Little's claims, but also those of Major Whitman. Tho latter Is said to be the most unpopular offi cer In the regiment und thero has been more complaint of him than any other commissioned man. Ho is from the regular army, and has been ill during a great part of tho Into cam paign. Major Metcalf Is n soldier of tried ability. He is well liked by both the officers and tho men. Several letters from Manila have said that Metcalf has tho best claims for the colonelcy In case of Funston's promotion. He hus not tho dash of Funston, but is coc) and calculating.
