for the restitution of public moneys and

The Filipinos are retreating tow aid

PEACE POSTPONED.
The Insurgents of Luzon Need
Further Chastisement.
Washington, May 4. The war de
partment is satisfied with the dis
patches received from General Otis to
elay that the American commander Iran
put aside the Insurgent temporizing
over peace, and has turned his atten
tion to most uggresslve tnctlcs. Tire'
wisdom of this course vvns fully ap
proved by oftlciuls here, who have fore
seen that the rebels needed further
chastisement In order to bilng them tt
a. renll.ing sense of their posltiorr. Ths
early dispatches from General Otl-
clearly defined tho general plan of his
latest movement. He is moving in twr
innlii columns. Major General Mac
Arthur pushing straight forward over
a nlno mile stretch ot country between
Calrrmpit arid the latest rebel strong
hold, San Ferriandlno, and Major Gen
et nl Law ton's force under Colonel
Sumner marching to prevent the In
surgents from letr-eatlng trom San Fer
rrarrdino Into the mountains to the
mil th. The later dispatches showed
there had been hot work In tho exe
cution of tlrli movement, particular lv
In General .MacArthur 's advance on
San Ferriandlno. The defeat ot Lun.i
at St. Tomas and the scattering of the
Insurgent forces leaves MacArthur four
miles fiom San Fernnndlno, with a.
clear road before hlrrr He will take
the city tomorrow morning, accmdln?
to Geneial Otis plans.
The taking of towns is no long r
looked tii)nn bv the nuthcnltles here as
