The Tale of Aa Escaped Spanish
Prisoner.
Manila.May 3 TbeVlliplno envoys,
Major Manuel Arguelles and Lieuten
ant Jose Bernel, have abandoned the
pretense under which they -came to
General Otis that they represented
General Antonio Luna, and today they
announced that they came as repre
sentatives of Aguinaldo "himself. The
two emissaries used all their v wiles to
secure a reply frcm General Otis to
the letter from Seaor Mablni, Aguin
aldo's prime minister and mlnlst r of
foreign aff .Irs in the. dictator's cabl
inet, wheh they presented to General
Otis yesterday; but Genrral Otis re
fused to make any reply on thegrourd
that to do so would be equivalent to a
recognition of the so-called govern
ment of the Filipinos.
Major Arguelles said that Aguinaldo
knew he would be overpowered in
time, but that he would be able to con
tinue the fight for months, and that he
would do so unless he jrere given what
Major Aguellea termed peace with
dignity.
Mr. Schurman, thepresident of the
United States Philippine commission,
expressed the opinion that the inter
views accorded by General Ot's to the
Filipino envoys will have a good
moral effect, as tending to convince
Aguinaldo's representatives that the
American authorities mean to give the
Filipinos a good government, and not
one of the Spanish, sort. Certainly it
has had a civilizing influence in in
ducing them to observe the amenities
of war and consent (to the Americans
furnishing food for American pris
oners. The exodus of natives from the in-
r'
surgent lines continues.
By filling in the roads where It was
required, putting canoes on the rivers
a- d plowing fields south of Malolos,
the American army is In a fine posi
tion for the expected decisive blow.
General McArthnr has moved his
headquarters to San Vicente, across
the Rio Grande. General Wheaton's
brigade has advanced beyound Apalit,
General Hale has returned to co-operate
with General Lawton.
At Baligcg last evening there was a
running fight, in the course of which
one American soldier was klUrd and
three were wounded -The rebels scat
tered before General Lawton and Gen
eral Hale.-
On yesterday while Capt. Wheeler,
with a detachment of the Fourth cav
alry, was covering General Hale's ad
vance, he discovered a large body of
rebels at Pulilan. The cavalry opened
fire, but there was no response. Think
ing that the rebels wanted to surren
der, Lieutenant Bell went forward to
parley with them. The Filipinos re
plied that they did not wish to sur
render, but that they had been ordered
to refrain from fighting during the ne
gotiations They asked what Lieuten
ant Bell wanted, and in reply were
given half an hour in which to retire,
which they improved.
A Spanish prisoner -who escaped In
to the American lines reports that af
ter General Hale's advance on Quin
gan two hundred Filipinos were bur
1 d, thirty-five in one trench and
twenty-seven in another. This is the
largest number of rebels tbat have
been killed in any engagement for sev
eral months.
