DISPATCH FROM OTIS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The follow
ing is the dispatch of Oeneral Otis re
celved yesterday relative to the visit
of the Insurgent officers:
Manila, Oct. 2, adjutant general
Washington, D. C Three Insur
gent officers were permitted to enter
our lines at Angeles with 12 of our
soldiers and two citlsens whom they
wish to present as released prisoners,
Yesterday, In a conference they en
deavored to present a communication
from the Insurgent government, which
os declined. Then they presented a
paner signed by 10 of the soldiers, In
which the soldiers gave paroles. This
was received and held In ab'yance.
The insurgents then said that Agulnal
do desired to end the war and rnil a
civil commission for a conference, and
they were Informed that It would not
be received. They will be sent be
yond the lines tomorrow.
The whole affair Is believed to be
ruse to obtain some acknowledgement
bv the t'nited States authorities. The
soldiers returned were stragglers from
our lines captured by robbers. They
were obliged to sign the paroles to
secure their release, though two refus
ed to sign. The whole affair Is of no
significance; It Is viewed as an attempt
at masquerading. OTI3
