NO ARMISTICE IS GRANTED
WITH FILIPINOS SO
4fak FRUITLESS.
AMNESTY ONLY WILL BE GIVEN.
General Otis Informs the Envoys That
F!lipino Government Will Not
Be Recognized.
t
A second conference was held Satur
day at between General Otis
and Colonel Manuel Arguelesses and
Lieutenant Jose Bernal, who cavne
from General Luna under a flag of
truce Friday to ask for a cessation of
hostilities. The meeting was fruitless.
It is understood ti_at the Filipino com
missioners were given terms upon
which will consent to
negotiate.
The Filipinos admit that they have
been defeated, and it is expected that
they will return with fresh proposals
from General Luna.
The envoys from General Luna
were hospitably treated by General
Otis, who provided them with a house
and with a guard and permitted them
to visit their friends. Returning to
the palace Saturday morning the envoys
saw an illustration of American re
sources. A long train of wagons and
pack mules was just starting with pro
visions for General Lawton, who has
reached Marunco.
The conference at the palace lasted
three hours, Jacob G. Sehurmau, of
the United States Philippine commis
sion, attending and Admiral Dewey
dropping in for an hour.
The discussion was mostly between
General Otis and Colonel Argueleses,
who had been selected for the mission
by General Luna because he had
known General Otis.
Colonel Argueleses had served on
the Filipino commission which met
the American authorities before the
war in an endeavor to smooth over
the impending troubles. Mr. Schur-
man emerged from the palace between
the two shock-haired, savage-looking
natives and drove unattenih'd to the
office of the United States if iilippine
commission, where they talked infor
mally for about an hour.
Manila is divided between two opin
ions—the majority believing that the
FilipiiKrs'"iieir9- peace, while others
think they are sparring for time in
which to rehabilitate their demoralized
army.
The latter opinion gained color
from the fact that re-enforcements
have been sent to the south, opposite
the American lines.
Colonel Argueleses, who is a lawyer,
splendidly illustrated the Malay sub
tlety at words. Whilrf he declared
with apparent the Fili
pino leader wanted a chance to give
up the struggle gracefully, through
the congress, instead of surrendering
ignominiously, he asked for a fort
night’s armistice so that the congress
might be summoned on May Ist, and
endeavored to commit the Americans
I to greater concessions and wanted
terms guaranteed by treaty.
He was told that of the
Filipino government was impossible,
and he was given to understand that
a written guarantee of amnesty for all
insurgents was the utmost that could
be given.
Otis Will Be Cautious.

COXVEXTIOX ADJOURNS.
Sunday School Workers Finish Their I.a
bors —Meet Next in Denver.
The last sessions of the ninth Inter
national Sunday School Association at
Atlanta, which were held Saturday,
were perhaps more largely attended
than those of any former day, and the
enthusiasm displayed by the conven
tion at the close of the president’s ad
dress in the evening will be long re
membered by all who heard it.
More was accomplished dhring the
last three sessions of importance to
Sunday school work in the United
tates and Canada than was concluded
during the two days previous, and the
delegates departed for their homes
with the conviction that the ninth in
ternational convention had not oidy
been the largest in point of attend
ance, but the most productive of good
to the cause in which they are labor
ing than any former convention.
The nomination of Hon. John Wau
amaker, of Pennsylvania, as chairman
of the executive committee, was re
ceived with deep approval by the dele
gations from every state, the members
of which being familiar with the inter
est and enthusiasm displayed in Sun
day school work by the ex-postmaster
genera! of the United States.
The nomination of the day that
struck a responsive chord in the heart
of every delegate was that of Mr. B.
F. Jacobs, of Chicago, the nestor of
the convention, as the chairman of the
commission to make a tour of every
country on the globe where the Bible
has been introduced.
Denver, Col., was selected as the
place of meeting of the tenth interna
tional and fourth world’s convention.
It had been announced that these two
conventions would be held in the same
city, and at the same time, and the
large audience was on the qui vive of
expectation when the chairman stated
that invitations were in order.
Although Toronto and Indianapolis
made strong pleas for the conventions,
the speech of E. W. Halford, which
was one of the most eloquent and most
brilliant heard in the hall, carried the
different delegations by storm, and
when he concluded, it was readily
seen that the conventions would go to
Denver.
The nominating committee returned
during the day a list of vice.presidents
and members of the international ex
ecutive committee that is an honor to
the association.
An able address was delivered by
President Smith on the occasion of the
close of the convention and the fervent
and eloquent prayer of Rev. Dr.
George, of Mississippi, brought to
end the most successful as well as the
largest convention in the history of
the International Sunday School Asso
ciation.
WARRANTS ARE DRAWN

United States To Spain.
At the request of the secretary of

States to Spain.
The warrant directed the United
States treasurer to pay the several

ambassador extraordinary and pleni
potentiary of France, representative
of the government of Spain.
The warrants were signed by F. A.
Yanderlip, assistant secretary of the
treasury; F. J. Tracewell, comptroller,
by C. M. Foree, chief clerk, and Ellis
H. Roberts, who directed the assistant
treasurer of the United States at New
York to pay them.

ANTI-IMPERIALISTIC LITERATURE.
T
I’o.tnmster fl.nerft| Smith Talent* Action
Through the Orjlers of the Cabinet
at Tue.ilay’g Meeting.
A Washington (special says: The
postmaster general has directed the
postmaster at Sau Francisco to take
out of the mails for Manila three
pamphlets issued ify Edward Atkin
son, of Boston, vice-president of the
Anti-Imperialistic league.
This order does not apply to the
circulation of the phamphlets by mail
in this country, but bgrs their dis
patch from this country to the Philip
pines, discontent and even mutiny
among the soldiers 'Jeing stated by
the department to b,l the design of
these publications. )
The three pamphlets are especially
described and in no circumstances are
they to be forwarded by mail to the
Philippines.
The absentees from laiesday’s cabi
net meeting were Secretaries Gage,
Long, Alger and Wilsonj
One of the subjects of discussion
was the circulars which were mailed
to the troops at Manila criticising the
Plilippine policy of the’ government
and advising volunteers whose term
of service is about to expire not to re
enlist.
A member of the cabinet, in speak
ing of the matter, said that Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson, of Boston, who is be
lieved to have been largely instrument
al in the preparation and sending out
of these circulars, was unquestionably
guilty of assisting an insurrection
against the authority of the United
States and was subject to a term of
imprisonment or a heavy fide or both.
The law, which, it is said, has been
violated in section 5334 of the revised
statutes, is as follows:
“Every person who incite*, sets on
foot, assists cr engages in any rebellion
or insurrection against the Authority
of the United States or the laws there
of, or gives aid or comfort thereto,
shall be punished by imprisonment
not more than ten years or by a fine of
not more ten thousand dollars, or by
both of such punishments; and shall,
moreover, be incapable of holding any
office under the United States.”
What action, if any, will be taken
in the matter has not been deter
mined, but it is said that the govern
ment is disposed to regard the Sets of
Mr. Atkinson as those of a person
without any proper conception of the
gravity of the offense committed, and
the government may not at thin time
take action against Mr. Atkinson and
his assistants.
The postmaster general stated at the
cabinet meeting that he had ordered
the circulars stopped at San Francisco.
Members of the army department re
gard Mr. Atkinson’s alleged act as
seditious and disgraceful, and it is not
improbable, if repeated, prompt and
energetic action will be taken.
WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS MEET.
Resolution* Reflecting On Their Sister*

At a convention in Grand Rapids,
Mich., Tuesday the National Woman’s
Suffragist Association elected Susan

Foster Avary, corresponding secre- ,
tary; Alice Stone Blackwell, recording

Clay and Catherine Waugh Taylor,
auditors.
A colored woman from Michigan
offered a resolution demanding that
colored women in the south be permit
ted to ride in the same cars with ivhite
women.
Laura Clay, of Kentucky, warmly
attacked the resolution as au insult to
the southern white women. ’
After a warm debate the resolution
was thrown out as tending to create
factional feeling.
Resolutions were adopted protesting
against the word “male” in the suf
frage clause proposed for the Hawaii
constitution. Recommends a commis

THE NONEY BUYS'THE PHILIPPINES
Kxchuiise Will Be Bought In New \ork
and Transferred to Madrid at the
Earliest Moment.
The last move in the negotiations
terminating the war with Spain oc
enrred at Washington Monday, when
Secretary Hay paid to the French am
bassador, M. Cambon, the §20,000,000
provided by the cession of the Philip
pines.
The payment was made in four jreas
ury notes of $5,000,000 each, and was
receipted for by M. Cambon as com
pletely liquidating the obligation of
the Unijed States in this connection.
The ambassador deposited the $20,-
000,000 in the Biggs National bank of
Washington city and the cashing of
the warrants is expected to he made
later through the City National bank
of New York.
The Spanish government was notified
by cable of the payment, but nothing
will be done ns to forwarding the
funds to Europe until Spain directs
the exact course to be pursued.
The form of receipt signed, by the
ambassador was follows:
“Received from the secretary of
state of the United States the sum of
$20,000,000 in four drafts upon the
assistant treasurer of the United States
at New York, of date April 20, 1899,
each draft being for $5,000,000, the
same being in full payment of the ob
ligation of the government of the
United States to the government of
Spain as set forth in article 3 of the
treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain, signed at Paris,
France, on the 10th day of December,
1898, the ratification of which was ex
changed in the city of Washington on
the 11th day of April, 1899, the pay
ment being provided by the act of
congiess, approved March 2, 1899, en
titled an act making an appropriation
to carry out the obligation of the
treaty between the United States and
Spain, concluded December 10, 1898.
“JuiiES Cambon,

It is expected that exchange for the
entire $20,000,000 will be purchased
by Spain’s representative in the New
York market. Dealers were of the
opinion that exchange for about three
fourths of the amount of the indemnity
had already been gathered and that
the remainder would be obtained
without a further advance in rates.
No rhotoH Allowetl.
The treasury department has taken
steps to prevent the photographing of
the warrants for the payment of the
$20,000,000 to Spain for the Philip
pines, because abuse of the privilege
might lead to the counterfeiting of
government securities.
Miss Francis E. Johnson, a well
known Washington photographer, was
called upon Monday to surrender
plates of photographs which she had
made of the warrants in question, and
willingly did so on the representa
tions of the civil service officials.

Murdered Old Couple.
A dispatch from Newnan, Ga., says:
From the recent crimes and capture
of Tom Wilkes, alias Sam Holt, some
things have dropped out that may pos
sibly throw some light on a former
crime which has heretofore remained
as mysterious as it was revolting. It
will be remembered that three or four
years ago an aged couple living near
Creswell, or Vaughn’s Station, in
Spalding county, were found dead one
morning with unmistakable evidences
of having been murdered. The nephew
of the couple was arrested on the
change and after an exciting trial was
acquitted.
Soon after Tom Wilkes, or Holt,fled
! 'rom his crimes near Palmetto, the
statement was made by Lige Strick
land, with whom Wilkes worked in
the year 1897, that Wilkes had told
him that he hud killed this aged
couple. The negro told Strickland
this a year or more ago, but he said he
did not believe it and did not tell any
one about it until Wilkes had killed
Alfred Cranford and fled.
