Was to Making Ready Surrender at San lsidro. Filipinos Afraid to Har bor Him in Bis Flight. American Forces Resumed the Advance Yes terday. Lina and Del Pilar, Alone of the Insurgent Leaders, in Favor of Continuing the War. Manila, May 18, A. M. Aguinaldo and hi cabinet are reponted to have met at San lsidro before the Ameri cans captured that place, and decided to send a commission to General Otis to accept of the proclamation recently issued, offering amnesty. General Law ton was unaware of the decision when he , advanced upon the city. The Filipino leader? then re tired, but the commission bearing, Aguinaldo's message of submission is expected to reach .here tomorrow. The insurgents on MacAnthur's front have withdrawn to the north ward, evidently fearing an attack from the rear by Lawton'a column. Major Kobbe's forces on the gun boats reached San Luis last night, af? ter encountering slight opposition. He had one man wounded. The advance was resumed "this morning. Spanish prisoners from San lsidro say that the insurgent leaders, Luna and Pio del Pilar, are alone in favor of the continuance of the war. The Fil ipino troops, they declare, are demoral ized and Aguinaldo's influence is wan ing, his spirits are broken and he re proaches himself for his country's misfortune. The Filipino women at San Miguel refused to entertain Aguinaldo, fearing the revenge "of the Americans should they do so, and his personal baggage was plundered by desperadoes on his retreat to Cabanatuan. - The Chinese consul has applied to General Otis for relief for his country men, who, he says, are being persecut ed by the Insurgents. He reports that 1,000 Chinamen were captured at Dag upan and forced ,by tthe insurgents to work in the trenches. Their property was confiscated. OVERTURES FOR SURRENDER, ' Washington, May 18.

DECLINE OF SPIRITUALITY Remarked by Bishop Whipple Before Episcopal Council at Richmond- Richmond, Va., May 18. At the meeting of the Episcopal council of this diocese today, Presiding Bishop Whit tle lamented the decadence of the church. "Never within, my knowledge,' said, the bishop in his report "have we had so few candidates. This alarming fact indicates a decline in spirituality and an increase in worldliness among our church people. This state of things ought to produce great searchlngs of the heart on the part of brother minis ters. to discover the cause. For years most of the candidates have come- from country parishes. If these fail us it is sad to contemplate what the end will be." Two of the most interesting subjects which will come up for discussion be-, fore the council will probafcly be the Dr. Briggs case and the attitude Which, the cbpfch should assume in counten ancing divorce. The latter subject has been discussed at several of the coun cils in recent" years. The growth of legal separations (between man and wife, especially In the sourth, lias 'been the source of o little annoyance. Un til recent years it was a rare thing for a couple in this or in any of the other southern states to apply for a bill of "divorce. The judges say 'the practice has grown here during : the last few years, until there is not a session, of the court ait which there are not suits for divorce filed. These litigations are not confined either to persons in the lower walks of life, but the applicants are soirietimes persons of social promin ence. .

Corbin Leaves Washington to Consult McKinley on the Situation. Alger Convinced Arm3 Should Not Be Delivered to Cuban 3Iayors. War Department Officials Regard This Disposal of Them as Danger ous to the United States. Washington, May' 18. The execution of the agreement between npnpniia Brooke and Gomez for the distribution of the three .million dollars to the Cu bans on the surrender of "their arms, has been postponed, owing to the dis approval of Secretary Alger of the ar rangement made that the arms be turned over to the mayors of Cuban municipalities instead of the American authorities. Secretary Alger telegraph ed President McKinley at Hot Sprlngs', cailing his 'attention to the fact that the arrangement "was a violation of General Brooke's instructions, and at Secretary Alger's instruction Adjutant General Corbin left for Hot Springs to night to fully inform President Mc Kinley, and consult him on the situa tion. Secretary Alger is apparently con vinced that the plan of permitting the" arms of the soldiers to be delivered to the mayors is unwise. He has urged President McKinley to adhere to the original instructions. There is a feeling at the war depart ment that the possession of such a large number of 'arms by officials not directly responsfljle to the United States, constitutes a source of danger which should hot foe overlooked. Secre tary Alger favors-a firm hand on the ground that arry sign ofw eakening would encourage the hot heads to make trouble. The result of Adjutant General Corbin's visit is awaited with great interest. GOMEZ GIVES OUT HIS MANIFESTO In Entire Harmony With Avowed Aims of the United States. Havana, May 18. Gomez's manifesto was issued tonight. It goes fully into his motives in the negotiations with General Brooke-for the disbandment of the army. Lt is in entire harmony with the avowed aims of the United States in reference to Cuba, He appeals for a cessation" of the agitation, and friction, holding before the people the highest hope fdr a resurrected co.untry, and the warmest faith in the. honesty of the Americans. He declares he told Brooke at their first meeting that three million dollars was, too small and when he failed to obtain more he urged the or- ganization of ten thousand Cuban mil itia as the only solution of the-matter. When-Brooke rejected this he ap pealed to President McKkiiey,. only to fail. Finding three millions the only hope he urged thai the money be divid ed among the members of the army whether armed or not He believed the arms should be deposited in the na tional armories guarded by Cubans. This plan, he says, was radically changed jby Brooke and delay followed. (Continued on.
