The Filipino envoys had an hour's
conference with General Otis this
morning. They brought from Augul-
naldo a message that ho desired peace
and wished to send a civilian gov
ernmental commission to discuss the
situation. General Otis replied that it
wa impossible for him to recognize
Agulnaldo's government In that way.
They presented a letter from Agui-
nnldo as "president of the republic , "
Which was largely n repetition of his
recent appeals lor recognition. General
Otis Informed them that while ho was
willing to correspond with Agulnaido
as general of the Insurgent forces no
must positively decline to recognize
him as president of the civil govern
ment. Another conference will bo hold
tomorrow.
The Filipinos will remain two or

they visited the hospitals and distrib

received visitors at their hotel.

people. When .tho envoys emerged

interesting light on the Filipino view
of the American attitude.

troops ? " asked tlie representative of
the Associated Press.
"Fighting In our way wo can 'main
tain u state of war and the necessity
of a largo army of occupation Indefin

But you nro ignorant of the resources
of Luzon. Wo hold tho'immense rich ,
productive northern country from
which to draw. Our people contrib
ute the money and 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. Wo do not , of course ,
know the amount , but it must be ex
cessive. Wo perceive what an Amer
ican soldier requires in this climate.
On-tho other hand a Filipino exists
with a handful of rice and a pair of
linen trousers. Wo do not have to pay
our soldiers and can practically hold
up their wages as long as wo 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 riot wish to
continue the fighting. Wo have no
army contractors. Wo have no busi

NEW YORK , Oct. 2. The functions
and the receptions that have figured so
prominently in the dally Hfo of Ad

have proven almost too much for his

such a perpetual physical and nervous
strain that ho Is now almost exhausted.
Saturday's ceremonies were the most
taxing on his strength of any that he
has yet had to undergo , and ho appear
ed today looking palo and worn. De
spite the fact that ho retired early Sat
urday evening and enjoyed a good
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.

Most Magnificent Marino Spectacle Ever

Demonstration Salute nt Uranl'H
Tomb ,
NEW YORK , Sept. 30. No Roman
conqueror returned from his triumph of
barbaric splendor , no victorious king
coming homo from n successful war
ever received such n magnificent ova
tion as overwhelmed Admiral Dewey
yesterday as ho stood on the bridge of
the Olympia at the head of a mag
nificent fleet ol thundercrs of tlie deep ,
followed by a thousand vessels of
peace , each tiered and coated blnck
with people , and sailed over the bright
waters of tlie upper bay and up the
broad pathway of the sun-lit river
whoso banks were gay with millions
of flags and streamers dancing In the
wind.
The sky was blue , the water rippled
under the fresh wind that held flags
out straight and jaunty , and the
wharves and piers , and rocky height ?
and grassy knolls wore black with
frantic , enthusiastic people who
strlved weakly to make their shout
heard above the perfect bedlam of tootIng -
Ing whistles that accompanied the ad
miral ashore and afloat.
As the tomb of General Grant on
Riverside drive was reached the fleet
paid Its tribute to the iriomory of the
great warrior with a national salute of
twenty-one roaring guns. The fleet
then anchored and reviewed the al
most endless procession of craft tha
steamed past , all so oiiroened 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 Hours 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 , remarkanle demonstration. The
Columbian naval parade , the dedica
tion of Grant's tomb and the recep
tion of the North Atlantic squadron
last fall all palo before this gigantic
ovation to the sailor , who In a single
morning destroyed an enemy's fleet
without the loss of a man or a ship.
It is not boyona the mark to say that
8,000,000 people viewed tlie pageant
from ashore and that 250,000 were
afloat.
When New York turned out to the
celebration this morning a light haze
hung over the harbor , but this was
soon burned up by the bright sun
which bathed sea and city in its bril
liant radianca. The wind was strong
and gusty and kept the flags snapping ,
The water rippled under the fresn
breeze and the dancing little waves
Boomed to raise their crusty heads in
anticipation of a sight of the con
queror.
People who went down the bay wen
lost in their admiration of the display
of bunting along the water front. On
the east river from the bridge to the
Battery , where the sailing craft lay in
droves , the ships were covered with
such a mass of color that might be
compared to a maple-grown hillside in
deep autumn. Every craft in the har
bor was decked out from stem to stern
with all the grace and attractiveness
known to shippers. But the display in
the east river was not to be compared
with that of the north river , up which
the procession was to pass.
From the peaks of every pier long
ropes strung with flags of every hue
were stretched to the snubbing post
nt the corner , the fronts were decor
ated with the multitude of gay devices.
There wore flags on the staffs and
lines of flags pbove the ropes.

LOOKS VERY WARLIKE.
HlUmtlon In the Trnngvaitl Apponni to Ho
flloro Critical Tliiin Isvor.
LONDON , Sept. GO. ( Now York
World Cablegram. ) I obtained last
night from a high ministerial source
the following authentic facts concern
ing yesterday's fateful meeting of the
British cabinet. When the ministers
assembled they were already in pos
session of a draft of Chamberlain's
proposed ultimatum to the Boer repub
lic. The terms of tno settlement laid
down were :
1. The substitution of the articles ot
the Pretoria convention of 1881 , for
those of the London convention of 1884 ,
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. Leyds as Bour commissioner lu
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 Boor
ordinances on the outlandors.
3. The granting of municipal auto
nomy to the Rand. This would give
control of all local affairs such as
police , sanitation , and so forth , to the
district mainly inhabited by the outlander -
lander population. It is the revival
of a scheme of homo rule for the Rand ,
suggested by Chamberlain to Kruger
after the Jamleson raid and contempt
uously refused by Kruger.
4. The removal of all religious disa
bilities. At present Catholics and Jews
are disabled from holding many ofllces ,
even the most Important kind.
fi. The disarmament of the two great
forts which command Johannesburg.
The report that Bn.ain demands a
population indemnity for military out
lays already incurred is not accurate ,
thougn it is the intention of the gov
ernment to raise that question in duo
course. Finally , I may add , the repub
lic is called upon to denounce its treaty
of 1872 with Portugal under which it
is empowered to import arms and am
munition from Delagoa bay through
Portuguese territory.
These may be accepted as entirely
accurate , precise British proposals.
They were adopted by the cabinet , but
no dispatch was forwarded to Pretoria
last night and a further cabinet meet
ing has been called for Tuesday. The
ministers were much surprised that
Kruger had not seiu any reply to their
dispatch of last Friday , but he seems
to have delayed it deliberately to em
barrass his enemies , as it is expected
today.
