Manila, May 1. 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.

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

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

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

Washinoton, May 3. 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.
