The credit for this achievement, he said, is due to the splendid daring and ingenuity of Col. Funston, under the skilful control and supervision of General Wheaton.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-General Otis cables to the war department: The conference with the insurgent rep resentatives terminated this morning. REQUEST. Their request was for a cessation cf hostilities for three weeks in order to enable them to call their congress to gether to declare whether they would continue the prosecution of the war or propose terms of peace. The proposi tion was declined but full amnesty was promised them on their surrender. It is believed that the insurgents are tired of war, but seek to secure terms of peace through what they denominate their representative Congress. RESUME HOSTILITIES. The expectation at Washington Is that fighting will be resumed Immediately in the vicinity of Calumpit. Thus brief respite came in good time for the Am erican troops, who were nearly exhaust ed from hard marches, skirmishing and fighting in the hot sun, under which a number succumbed from heat yesterday. GENERAL AMNESTY. WASHINGTONTTpril 29.-U is stat ed at the war department that the in surgent leaders probably will confer and seek another conference with Gen. Oris and Gen. Otis will grant them a general amnesty. FILIPINO SIDE. The Junta Says the United States is Granting Self Government.

The Filipinos are being granted self government, and control of their in ternational and mercantile relations, and the two flags fly together.

To the Ladles of the City of Raleigh and Surrounding Country. I am directed by the president acd "Ladles of the Memorial Association" to request your presence on the after noon of the 10th day of May, at our beautiful Oakwood Cemetery, with all the flowers at your command, to aid them in the decoration of the graves of our Confederate dead. No para.13 of civic organizations, no ceremony or dis play is intended; but the simple com memoration of the virtues of some dead soldier of the "Lost Cause," will be had, in an address by the Hon. W. J. Green, at the Mortuary Chapel on tho grounds. This day we hold sacred to the memory of our dead, but more espe cially so that of two classes, who the more their conduct is considered and the more it is examined, the higher respect and honor will be paid them by hisor'an and posterity. I mean cbe private sol dier and the women of the Confederacy of these, the obscure woman oack in the country, away from railroads and post offices, cut off, isolated from the world, who during that four years or deal bore, in silence and fortitude, the terrible strain of never-ceasing terror and anxiety; and of the hundreds of thousands of plain country boys who died without a sign and who till un marked graves, no human being know ing their names, their homes or their places each one "dead on the field C honor!" The war waged on the South was one of aggression, of invasion, of conquest, absolutely without excuse or justilicu tion; for the government established by the Revolution of 1775-83 was based en the consent of the governed. Instinct is more acute than reason, and every woman of the South felt and knew that it the invader was permitted to over throw the government which their fath ers had established that tnenceforward they and their children would be gov erned at the will of the conqueror. Therefore, when the news cams that war was upon us, the plain, quiK wo man of the South never hesitated, lint, of cloth of her own weaving, she made the clothes of her only son, sne packed bis bundle and sent him to the nearest camp to join his fellows in the defence of I) is borne, and many never saw that child again the last sight of him was a als figure, with the little bundle on his back, turned the road, and, to her, went out of this world forever! There she stay ed, tending the small children, working the crop to supply food and clothes for them, wearing her heart out with anxie ty and fear. Every visitor that approach ed her home might be the messenger of death husband and sons swallowed up she had no newspaper, she must r;ly upon the flying rumors borne on tiie breeze of great battles In Virginia and Tennessee or Georgia, where great gen erals were killed, but not one word of her heart's treasure. The names of the (Jead privates were not mentioned in the dispatches, and for months she :ived this dead and alive life, not knowing whether the other half of her life was gone or not. No hardship of the soliWr, no cold or starvation or disease was com parable to this. And all this suffering was borne with unflinching fortitude by hundreds of thousands of humble women an over these Southern States. All 1 n or to them and to their memory from generation to generation, until ti n shall be no more! In the bosom of our beautiful cenic tery lie the husbands and sons of many of these martyred women of the South, and in their behalf; and that you, the generation that succeeds them, may 'earn the lesson that their martyred livxs teach, do we urge you to give to Mo sacred duty of strewing the graves of their loved ones with the flowers of mo mory. The private soldier that rjsts there did his duty as no man has d'u. anywhere that I have ever read of. Without pay, half starred, not half clad, day after day and night after, night be trod his lonely round on post, In the snow. In the sleet, and In the biting wind, when ten minutes walk to the ene my's line would bare given him comfort and safety; but he stood fast for his duty. The wife or mother at home in the cabin In the pine woods should mver blush to hear that the one she honored or the one she Iored was a deserter. 4et- ( ter starvation better the freezing cold better death in any form than dishonor. 1 And the private soldier was the typ? of the manhood of the South. He stood for manliness, for courage, for love of justice, of right and liberty, and his ex ample will endure through all time. We honor ourselves in honoring him; and raising our heart in bumble gratitude to Him who spared him long enough to breathe his spirit into us, the multitude of his survivors. j Come, then, and help us to beautify this spot consecrated to their memories, and come in the spirit of the sacred duty we ask you to perform, filled wi:h a sense of the great sufferings you com memorate. VM.. J. SAUNDERS, Chief Marshal. PROGRAM FOR MAY 10TH.
