WILLHESURRENDER?

Aguinaldo Must Yield Completely

to Otis’ Terms.

This Fact Is Emphasized at a Second Conference with Gen. Lunsg’s Envoys—What President Schurman Said,

Manila, May I,—Gen. Luna’s envoys, after another unsuccessful interview with Gen. Otis, returned to the Filipino lines understanding fully the only terms upon which the natives can end their war. While the conference ‘resulted only in making plain the faet that the United States authorities will consider no proposition except an unconditional surrender it is believed that the native officers have learned enough of the American army’s intentions to ccunsel submission by their followers.

It is confidently expected that the end of the war is at hand. The native officers undcubtedly will return with fresh proposals, looking to a recognition of American sovereignty over the islands. s : War-Plans Continued.

‘While it is the genecral expectation among Americans that the Filipino emissaries will return with revisedsroposals from Gen. Antonio Luna, Maj. Gen. Otis is not ietting this\prospect interfere with his preparations for pushing the war. Saturday he ordered Mayj. Gen. Lawton to return to Angat, a few miles northwest of Norzagaray, and not to advance aggressively while the negotiations are pending. Gen. MacArthur is apparently acting on the sante policy, but he is repairing bridggs and strengthening the lines of his foree, which is stretched out with a four-mile front and within a quarter of a mile of the enemy. )

Pleased at Pence Prospeecets.

The possibilities of peace are gratifying to a great majority of the army, who have regarded the war as an unpleasant duty that must be performed according to American traditions. Manila is cheerful over the prospect of a return to normal life, though there are skeptics who remark that a truce would enable the insurgents to rest until the rainy season, upon which they have been depending as an important aid. The prisoners report that there are 75,000 refugees north of San Fernando. This is not impossible, considering the thickly populated region which the Americans have cleared. It seems also that smallpox is spreading among them. The so-called Filipino congress will meet at San Fernando to-day. i

The Conferenceé.

In an intervew with reference to Saturday’s conference, President Schurmnan, of the American ecommission, suid that the Filipino emissary began Ihe conversation with a strong plea for the independence of the matives of Luzon. President Schurman replied to Arguelles that he was unable to discuss the independence of the Filipinos. Mr. Schurman continued: . “I told Arguelles that American sovereignty over the Philippines was an established fact, and for this reason I de~ined to discuss any kind of a treaty. I also pointed out to Col. Arguelles that the suspension. of hostilities was a military matter which should be settled by the military officers, so I would have to decline to talk on that point. Arguelles seemed very much depressed at not being able to secure the independence of the insurgents. He practically admitted that the resowrces of the men following Aguinaldo were exhausted. He told me that the insurgents desired peace. He admitted that it should come on terms thoroughly honorable to America, but at the same 2 titue sail the terms should not be made such as would be humiliating to the Filipinos. Col. Arguelles claimed he considered the unceonditional surrender demanded by Gen. Otis as most humiliating to his cguntrymen.’

During the conversation Col. Arguelles reiterated a dozen times the necessity of enabling the Filipinos to surrender without the loss of honor. *“Paz con diguidad” was the expression he so frequently used.

Gives Hope to Insurgents.

President Schurinan suggested what seemed to him a better emollient to the insurgents. He said that if they surrendered immediately the commission would invite them to cooperate with it in proposing a form of government ‘which would be submitted to President McKinley. He promised that if his suggestions were followed out the views gud representations of the Filipino leaders would be considered earnestly by the commission. ] . Prof. Schurman assured Col. Arguelles that the commission desired to draft a scheme of government which would satisfy all legitimate aspirations of the Filipinos. To accept these proposals, Le assured the insurgent officer, wouid bring peace with dignity and also with inflzence to the insurgents. :

President Schurman asserted that when once the Filipinos had recognized the sovereignty of the United States everything pertaining to the scheme of government would be settled in open discussion. |

The members of the commission say that the remarks of Co6l. Arguelies which folowed this proposition were the first obvious manifestations of weakness. While he demurred .at the idea of an unconditional surrender, he evidently was taken greatly with what President Schurman said in regard to the part the Fil¥pinos would be permitted to take in the drafting of the new form of government.

MILL BLOWN UP.

Strikers Wreck a Big Plant in Idaho with Dynamite—One Man Is Killed.

Doise, Idaho, May I.—The trouble between union and nonunion miners at Wardner, which has been brewing there some time, czaalminated Saturday in 600 men attacking the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine and mill, blowing up the mill with dynamite, and killing one man and wounding many others. Property worth $250,000 was destroyed. The damage was dene by union miners and sympathizers from Canyon creek, about 20 miles from Wardner.

‘Saturday morning a mob of from 800 to 1,000 men, all of them armed and many of them masked, seized a train at Burke, the head of Canyon creek. There were nine box cars and a passenger coach and they were black with the mob. The visitors brought with them 3,000 pounds of giant powder. After a parley of two hours 140 masked men armed with rifles, Burke miners in the lead and Wardner following, started with yells for the Bunker Hijl and Sullivan mill and other buildings a third of a mile from the depot. They sént out pickets ahead and one of the pickets fired a shot as a signal that the mill was abandoned. This was misunderstood by the main body of the mob, who imagined that nonunion miners in the hills had opened fire on them and they began to fire upon their own pickets. About 1,000 shots were thus exchanged between the rioters and their pickets, and Jack Smith, one of the pickets, formerly of British Columbia, and a noted figure in drill contests, was shot dead. The fatal error was discovered after a “few seconds’ firing, and Smith’s body brought down from the hillside. .

:By this time the strikers had taken possession of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, which they found deserted, the manager having directed his employes not to risk their lives by battling with the mob. Powder was called for and 60 50-pound boxes were carried from the depot to the mill. The heaviest charge was placed under the brick office building.. Other charges were placed around the mill. Then the boarding-house, a frame structure, was burned.

Fuses leading to the charges were lighted and the strikers, carrying the dead body of the picket, retired to a safe distance. At 3:36 pn. m. the first blast went off. It shook the ground for miles, and buildihgs in Wardner, two miles away, trembled. At intervals of about ‘6O seconds four other charges went off, the fifth being the largest, and completely demolished the mine. The loss to the Bunker Hill and Sullivan company is estimated at from $250,000 to $300,000. In a few minutes the strikers went back to the station, the whistle was blown for stragglers, the mob climbed aboard, and at three o’clock, just three hours after its arrival, the train hauled out for Canyon Creek.

Spokane, Wash., May I.—A special to the Spokesman-Review from Wallace, Idaho, says: DPractically all the Wardner rioters are back at work. Sympathizers with the rioters have had time to consider the matter calmly, and have begun to think of the consequence. Many inquiries are made as to the likelihood of martial law and the probable cutcome of an attempt to punish the evil doers by some power really desirous of meting out justice. There is no talk of any attempt at punishment unless by federal authority. Gov. Stenenberg’s estimate of 500 troops being necessary to preserve peace is all right if nothing more is desired, but should arrests be attempted many more will be needed. Miners are all armed, and their positions on Canyon creek and at Mullan are mnearly impregnable, while the country is full of men and women who will furnish all pessible information to them. These men wifl hesitate at nothing should theiT liberty be endangered. Thoroughness of their organization was shown by the way clans were gathered Saturday morning. Sympathizers all along the line were ready when the train arrived, dropping whatever in Land to go. The amount of powder used at Wardner was greater than supposed here, fully 40 boxes having 'been taken at the Frisco magazine. Four explosions were distinctly heard here, and three at Murra@y, 15 miles on an air line across the mountains.

Minneapolis, Minn., May I.—Orders .were received at Fort Snelling Sunday to hold in readiness the troops there for departure at any moment for Wardner, idaho, the scene of Saturday’s trouble asmiong the miners, which resulted in the loss of one life and the destruction of $250,000 worth o property of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines. There are at Fort Snelling at the present time 40 available soldiers, ofiicers and men, and they are now resting on their arms awaiting orders to move. _
