PEACE SCHEME.
Weill th a Filipinos want to Arbi
trate. Manila, April 18. A number of
wealthy Filipinos Lre organizing a com
mittee to take B-eps to briug about
possible an; understanding between
the rebels and the Americans. One
branch t.f this committee intends to ask
the United States Philippine commis
sion to muke a statement as to what
terms would be offered to the rebels if
the latter will surrender.
Another branch of the committee will
approach Aguinaldo with terms and en
deavor to pursuade hira to accept them.
It is con.-idered doubtful, however, if
any members of the committee will dare
to ersonally confer with the rebel lead
er. The committee includes severaT par
ons recently condemed to death by
Aguinaldo for petitioning him to cease
fighting. ' i. . i
M jor General Otis hug appointed a
botird, headed by Colonel Crowder, to
deal with war claims. Many such claims
have bten filed, aggregating millions of
dollars, purely as the result of the Ilo
llo fire. General Otis, who lias hitherto

any of his lime to them now.

New Yoke, April 18. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: In an
interview with General Lagirda, he
said that a committee of 22 Filipinos
had been appointed to confer with the
peace commission for the following pur
poses: First To obtain as large autonomous
rights for the Filipino people as possi
ble Seci nd To bring about peaceful rela
tions between the insurgents and the
Americans.
Third That the Americans and the
Filipinos shall occupy public olfices.
Arevaleo, a former aid to Aguinaldo,
is now in Manila. He said in an inter
view that if the Americans send to
Aguinaldo now he thinks a pecaeful so
lution of the present troubles is pioV
able. Influential Americans think that
t lie commission of rich Filipinos is eager
to protect property, and has little infln.
ence with the insurgents.
MORE SOLDIERS NEEDED.
General Lawton Says That It will
Talis 100,000 Men to Settle
The Filipinos.
New Youk, April 17. A dispatch to
the World from Manila says: Maior-
General Law ton, at Paite, todav author
ized the World correspondent to make
this statement :
"The present prospect is that 100,000
troops will be necessary to pacify the
Philippine islands."
Geneial Lawton's expedition has re
turned to Manila. All the territory he
had captured was evacuated, and the
launches seized will be given back tothb
persons from whom Aguinaldo's soldiers
took them.
After giving the opinion that 100,000
men will be required to subdue these
iriands, General Lawton explained the
situstion to the World correspondent as
follows
"The difficulties in the way are those
of fighting guerrillas in a tropical coun
try. With my brigade I could iorce my
way from one end of the island to the
other if I did not have to hold the terri
tory I traversed. But leaving garrisons
behind would soon eat up the whole of
the force."
General Lawton regretted exceedingly
being compeled to evacuate the territory
he had captured.

People Have Ceased to Get Excited
Over Conflicts.
Manila, March 19, via San Francisco,
April 16th. War has become so coni-
if monplace an experience in Manila that
the average citizen no longer ihinks of
becoming excited over it. Every night
some point of the horizon is crimsoned
by the reflection from burning huts
kindled by the soldiers to deprive the
insurgents of hiding places. Every
night quiet is shaken by the firing from
the line encompassing the city. Every
morning brings its pitiful littfe consign
ment of uncomplaining wounded to the
hospital. Manila forms an American
Oasis in the island of Luzon., Around
.the city stretches a thin line 15 miles
long of entrenched soldiers.
The Filipino goes into the field unen
cumbered with useless baggage. Fol
lowing the course of their retreat beyond
Guadeloupe church went the souvenir
enthusiasts, who hang about the Ameri
can army, but they found nothing more
that a few tin cooking utensils and
empty cartridge shells, whose pattern
proves that the insurgents have the verv
lates' style of rifles. Trousers or drawers
a shirt worn outside them, a straw hat,
cartridge belt and rifle, a section of bam
boo stalk fiiled with rice, a ha'idful of
green peppers in a handkerchief these
form the equipment of the Filipino
s ldier.
No finer conntry for defensive fighting
and iio more embarussing for offensive
operations than the land around Pasig
lake could be imagined. The Chinese
are the scavengers of the war. Like
vultures they hover in the waxe of the
army, flocking down upon the ashes of
every hut and the ruins of churches, to
dig out i-tuff that no white man could
possibly use. Being beyond suspicion
of any interest in the hostilities save
gain, they are admitted to the camps
and employed as servant'). Some of
them peddle water and cigarettes on the
line. One, more daring than the most,
crept about the trenches of the Kansas
regiment under a hot fire and did a goo 1
trade. When competitors appeared he
hastened to point out to them the spot
where a soldier had been wounded,
seemingly impressing on them the dan
gers of their position, for they ran away.
The forces of destruction are concen
trated upon the churches. They are all
solid budding9, of stone, so the natives
use them as ' forts. Some church has
served as the keystone ot nearly eveiy
Filipino defense, and the American ar
tillery is compelled to batter them.
Calocan church is a picture of the havoc
of war. There General McArthnr has
his headquarters. The roof, a sky blue
fresco, studded with gilt stars, has jag
ged holes where shells from Dewey's
ships came through. Within the chan
cel rail is the office of the staff, and the
pulpits are used for desks. The rail
holds a string of saddles, a telephone
hangs beside the statue of a saint, while
the telegraph clicks incessantly in the
cove. Cots and hammocks fill the body
of the church, where soldiers are
sprawled smoking and reading when
off duty. A hospital occupies a chapel.
The soldiers do not lack reverence, but
everything must bend before their work.
General Otis has put a stop to the plans
of officers who wanted to bring their
wives and families to Manila. He said :
"This is not a picnic, nor a G. A. R.
encampment. This is war."
Governor Appointed Minister to
Persia.

ing important diplomatic changes have
