CONCERNING
PRISONERS
The Emissaries Now Admit That .They
are Representatives of Aguinaldo,
Not General Luna.
Manila, May 3.-3 :10 p. m. There
,was a conference lasting two boors to
day between Major-General E. S. Otis,
and the enroya who came here from
General Antonio Luna bearing the pro
posal for a cessation of hostilities.
General Otis adhered to his refusal to
recognize the so-called government of
the insurgents. The Filipinos now ask
for a trnce of three months to enable
Agninaldo to summon congress and con
sult with insurgent leaders on other
island.
The question of the release of Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos
being mentioned. Major Arguelezes,
the chief membor of the deputation,
said he considered them as being in the
- sane category with Americans, the
United States being the successor of
Spain in dominion over the island and
acquiring by treaty all Spanish rights
. and obligations.
The President Pleased With the Stand
He Has Taken Spoke Highly of
Volunteers.
Manila, May 3. 8 p. m. The Fili
pino envoys, Major Arguelezes and
Lieutenant Bornal, have abandoned the
pretense under which they came to Gen
eral Otis, that they represented General
Luna, and today announced that they
came as representatives of Aguinaldo
himself. The two emissaries used all
the wiles of which they were capable to
secure a reply from Otis to the letter
from Senor Mabini, Agumaldo's prime
minister and minister of foreign affairs
in the dictator's cabinet, which they
presented to Otis yesterday, but Otis re
fused to make any reply, on the ground
that to do so would be equivalent to a
recognition of the so-called government
of the Filipinos. Arguelezes said Aguin
aldo knew he would be overpowered in
time, but that he would be able to con
tinue the fight for months, and that he
would do so unless he was given what
Argueleze termed peace with dignity.
MacArthnr has moved his head'
quarters to San Vicente, across the. Rio
Grande, General Wheaton's brigade has
advanced beyond Apalit. General Hale
has returned to co-operate with General
Lawton.
At Bali bog last night there was a run
ning fight, In the course of which one
American soldier was killed and three
were wounded. The rebels ecattered
before . General Lawton and Genertl
Hale. On yesterday, while Captain
Wheeler with a detachment of the
Fourth cavalry was covering General
Hale's advance, he discovered a large
body of rebels at Pullian. The cavalry
opened fire, but there was no response.
Thinking the rebels wanted to sur
render, Lieutenant Bell went forward to
parley with them. The Filipinos replied
that they did not wish to surrender, but
they had been ordered to refrain from
firing during the negotiations. They
asked what Lieut. Bell wanted, and in
reply was given balf an hour in which
to retire, which they did. A Spanish
prisoner who escaped into the American
lines reports that after General Hale's
advance on Quingan 200 Filipinos were
buried, thirty-five in one trench and
twenty-seven in another. This is the
largest number of rebels that have been
killed in any engagement for. several
mTJnths.

'RAISE FOR
GOV. GEER
Washington, May 2. President Mc-
Kinley has expressed to Senator McBride
his great gratification at the position
which Governor Geer, of Oregon, took in
the matter of the return of the volunteers.
The senator took copies of The Oregonian
containing Governor Geer'a utterances
to the president, who read what was
stated with a great deal of interest, and
desired the senator to convey to the gov
ernor his hearty appreciation of the pat
riotic stand which the Oregon executive
had taken, and also bis belief that the
volunteers, upon their return, would be
proud of the poeition of the governor.
The president also took occasion to
speak very highly of. the service which
had been rendered by the volunteer
troops in the Philippines, which had ex
ceeded even bis most 'sanguine expectations.
Deafness Cannot be Cared.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition . of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of De.afness (cauBed by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars : free.

EAGER RUSH
Men and Women Will Stand in a Long
Line for Many Hours.
Dkntbb, May 3. A special to the News
from Durango, Colo., says: The first
man took his place before the land office
door at 6:30 a. m., and began his long
wait for the hour of the reservation open
ing at noon. May 4.' The man is Philip
F. Voight, of Blanca, Costila county,
Colo. News of Voight's initiative sped
quickly over the city during the morning,
and at noon the line be 'an to lengthen
at a rapid rate. By nightfall it bad ex
tended down the stairway into the street,
the last man being compelled to stand
in the wind and enow, which has been
playing fitfully upon the thoroughfares
all day. Two young women. Misses
Emma and Adela Stollsteimar, neither
of whom is oyer twenty years of age,
occupy the third and fourth places in
the line, their brother A. F. Stollsteimer,
holding the Becond place. Those in line
have agreed to preserve the line intact
while the members take turns at eating
and sleeping, provided that the later ar
rivals would assent to it. There are
several hundred boomers in the city, but
most of tbem will have the run for the
land, believing that to be the safer way,'
although Register Perkins has announced
that he will not receive duplicate filings,
regardless of when improvements on the
land were begun. A snow storm is
raging here.
An Epidemic of Whooping Cough,
Last winter during an epidemic of
whooping cough my children contracted
the disease, having severe coughing
spells. We had need Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy very successfully ior
croup and naturally turned to it at that
time and found it relieved the cough
and effected a .complete cure. John E

Wabdneb, Idaho, May 3. Fifty-four
warrants have been sworn out and con
stables are making arrests under the pro
tection of colored troops. The dynamiters
are fleeing to the hills. Their cabins
are being searched, and the town is wild
with excitement. About fifteen arrests
bavebeen made. Smith's body will be
brought back from Canyon Creek to
day, and the inqueBt will be held. Other
troops will be here on the next train.
Cheyne's body is now on the way back
here from Spokane for the inquest.
Wild Rumors Flying.
Wallace, Idaho, May 3. Wild rumors
regarding the action of the Canyon
Creek men gain evidence, even here.
Thie morning a report was current and
was believed that the body of Jack
Smith had been stolen last night. When
your correspondent heard the story he
went to the morgue and saw the body
lying there. An undertaker has charge,
waiting orders from Coroner Frank, but
be bad no idea when it would be shipped
to Wardner for the inquest. Rioters
still leave by every train. The Northern
Pacific, for Missoula, runs an extra coach
daily, going well loaded. It is claimed
that many Butte men who arrived last
week are now leaving.
The Best In the World.
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and hav'mg
read their advertisements in our own
and other papers we purchased a
bottle to see if it would effect us. It
cured us before the bottle was more than
balf used. It is the best medicine out
for colds and coughs. The Herald,
