REBELS PROMISED AMNESTY. NEW YORK. March 29.-A dsipatcb, to the Herald from Washington, says: As soon us General Otis achieves a decisive victory over Agulnaldo, the Philippine conun ssion will issue a proclamation promising amnesty to all natives who lay down their arms and self rule to those who recognise the sovereignty of the United States. This is the program which the state department understands has been adopt ed by the commission. As General Ot's and Admiral Dewey are members of the commission, It Is presumed here that they ure responsible tor the delay In Issuing thu proclamation, belleveing Its effect will 'be greater It published after the In surgents have been subdued. So long as Agulnaldo maintains his army organisation it will be difficult to reach the natives and convince them, hut with Aguinaldo a prisoner or a fug itive and the army disbanded, it is thought that the proclamatl n will re ceive attention from the natives and cause them to take advantage of its pro. visions. The proclamation will be similar to those previously Issued by General Oils, except that It will contain a general am nesty declaration and will reassert the friendly Intention of the government.
