Geneial Otis' aide, Lieutenant Sladen, was awaiting their arrival at the depot with a caulage, In which they were driven to the palate entiance. The Filipino oflieers attracted much attention. They wore dieted In uni forms of checked blue and white i loth, nnil won- stiaw lint?. They tan led no side iiiins. They were oscoited dlrectlv to the otllce of General Oils. Jacob G.

Aguiii nldo is evidently si Ik ring the iiiiny as a chmk foi his congii ss, hoping by sub terfuge to ov el come Geneial Otis' con sistent policy of ignoring the Filipino government The Filipino urgumi-iil is that It Is Impossible to ai range an uini Istlce without the sanction of the con gtess General oils punctuml this as sumption by remarking that If Aguln nldo could make war without the con gress, Iih ..mid ntop it without lefu ence to t Imi body.

A Filipino proclamation leplyiiiR to tho proclamation of the American comnils. sloncrs Iuif appeared It Ik Binned by Maiidlul, for Hie preslduit and it Is dated nt Canlnsdro, April 15. it is m the usual grandiose stile and declaies that President Mc Klley issued the pioc larr.atlon In ordrr to force the Arnericun conBress to mtlfv tho cession of the Islands iindei the treat of Paris. 'This eontract of iowIoii was inadu with tho Spaniards after Spanish domination had boen ended by the valor of our troops," tho pioclaniatlon assertB. The proclamation complains that the Till jiinos were not lepiisenUd at I'aiis ilurlmr the lirg-otlaticin of the treaty and that they are without assuiances of the fulfillment of Amciluui prom ises. It dilates upon tho alleged Anglo Siion hatred of blacks, and asserts ix desire to enslave them. DeploritiR a lack of lorelgn aid in prosecuting the war, the pioclainatloni concludes: ' We stand alone, but we will fight to the death. ComiiiK generations will pray over our graves, shedding tcara ot gratitude for their freedom." THE END IN SIGHT. Aimy and Navy Officials Believe That the War Is About Over. Washington, Apiil 28. The end of the Filipino insurrection Is In sight, in the opinion of army and nay olliclals. A telegram received from General Otis today announced that Aguliialdo has ttiUi what W icgaidpcl as the llrt ttep towards surrender, namely, re questing a cessation of hostilities. Sec retaiy Alger said as the department che-ed that peace was at-sured, he reg.uded the piospects n.s of the bright est and felt confident that the end of the insurrection was near. To his mind, there would be a repetition of the negotiations which were had be fore Santiago. The societal y left Washington tonight for a ten days' trip In the west and it gave hint great satis faction to leave affairs In such proml.s lug shape.

VEEY FEEBLE TOES. niipinos Make a Brief Stand in Open Battle. Manila, April iS. 8.20 n m At Cal umplt tor the first time a large body ot Filipinos attempted to face the Ameri cans In open ground. The Filipinos in the trenches weio dispersed after mak ing u liditulously feeble resistance: but General buna's brigade came upon tho Held fiom Mneabeles on the double quick-, the two regiments pieservlng a peifeet formation. The Arnei leans Horn the south bank of the tlver, which Is higher than the north bank, could see General Luna, mounted on a black hursc galloping frantically along the lines and apparently exhorting his fol lowers to make a stand. He finally succeeded In getting them spread in an extended line of battle which would have done credit to a civilized aimv But when the American bullotB show ered thickly among them, btlrrlng clouds of dust from thu sandy soli, the Filipinos again showed that no amount of drilling could fortiry them sulllc lently to make them face the Ameri can rifles, nnd their train puffed up tho tiac k. with Its load of dead and wound ed, in plain sight of tho Americans, who were enteritis: the town so closely that the rebels barely slipped out ot their victors' hands. The Montana regiment mude a iush to capture tho train, running up tho track, yelling shrilly and even dropping their guns In the pursuit; but the engine backed oft hastily, leaving tho bodies of six war rlois to their enemies. Twenty Filipinos who rnmo to meet the conquerors, bearing a white (aflg, declared heartily that they were sick ot fighting, adding that food was very short in their camps. They nte tho army rations given to them with an eagerness that testified to tho truth of tho latter statement. One who had been severely wounded dtagged him self after his comrades, showing re markable neive. Overcome with Heat. Fifty Americans wero overcome by the heat, and Colonel Funston dropped utterly chausted after the battle. Tho men of the Kansas regiment cheered him crazily when he went nmong them. Last night tho flames of burning vil lages and scattered huts gave tho hoil zon a glow as of sunset, and tho crack ling of the bamboos as they caught ilro sounded like musketry In a bnttle. If the American troops were not fighting the heat as well ns the rebels, they might pursue tho natives until they compelled them to scatter Into tho mountains; but the soldiers aie so wilted that they must rest, while the insurgents have time to reorganize, dig n 'vv ti cliches and fortify San Fernan do, where it is expecteel thev will at tempt another battle. The matter of the transportation of supplies also hampers General MaeArthur's move ments; since, with tho railroad cut nt the bridge over the Hagbag, It is dlfhcult to supply so largo an army in such a rough country. 11.15 a. m. Yesterday the Washing ton regiment, which Is holding Taguig, with three companies of the Twelfth regulars, engaged a laige force of in surgents in a fight in the jungle. The Americans lost two killed and ten wounded. The Filipinos have been massing' at the mouth of the I'aslg river, and it Is estimated that tlieie are 2.000 of them now theie. They have mounted two guns one a three-inch Krupp and have thrown a number ot shells Into tlie American lines. The gunboat Xapldan, which is guarding the en trance to the river, shelled a launch which was cairying supplies. Yestciday a large foice of rebels ap proached the towrr, seemingly bent upon luring the Americans from Cal tiniplt. Three companies of the Wash ington troops sallied from 'he town and attacked the natives, and found that they had their hands full. Two other companies, the Wushlngtons and three of the Twelfth regulars reln foiced them and dwve back the enemy, who removed their dead and wounded as they retired, as usual. THE CASUAXTIES.
