Filipinos Seek to
Surrender.
ME III MICE FLAG
They Cull Upon Uoneral Oils
For Terms of Cu]flUilatiov.
A special from Manila says: As wan
predicted, the capture of Ca'..nmpit by
the Americans broke tho brokboue of
the insurgents' cause. Au?l the capture
was made by such d.-tring skill
and was such a remarkable military
achievement that Aguinaldo lost no
time in hoisting a Hag of tru?e, and
making overtures for u cessation of
hostilities.
Colonel Manual Ajgneleses and
Lieutenant Joe liernal, chief of General
Luna's stair, entered General McArthur's
lino early Friday morning,
bearing tho Hag of truce, 'lliey were
en route for Manila by train to confer
with General Otis retrardiiur iho terms
of surrender.
Arrive at Manila.
Arriving nt Manila Colonel Manuel
Argueleses and Lieutenant Jose Kernel,
told General Otis that they were
representatives of General Luna, who
bad been requested by A,guinal(lo to
n?k General Otis for a cessation of
hostilities in order to allow time for
tbe summoning of the Filipino oougress
which body would deeido whether
the people wanted ponce.
General Otis replied ttaat he did not
recognize the existence of a Filipino
government.
When tho flag of truce was first
raised the Filipino officers walked
down the railroad track^oyie.jKAujML

headquarters where they were
provided horses and sont to the headquarters
of General MacArthur. The
latter invited tho Filipinos to sit-down
at lunch with him and conversed with
them for some tiine. lie refused,
however, to speak authoritatively on
tho subject of their errand.

The FiMipinos were then escorted
by Major Moloney of General MacArtlull's
stall' to Manila, reaching that
place nt II o'clock p. in. General Otis'
aid, Lieutenant Sladon, wu? awaiting
their arrival ut the depot with a carriage
in which they were driven to Palace
entrance.
They were escorted directly to the
office of General Otis. Jacob G.Sehurnian,
president of the Philippine commission,
aud Hon. Charles Denhy, a
member of the commission, soon joined
the party there. The news of the
arrival of the Filipino officers under
a flag ot truce spread through the city
rapidly, and many otHcers gravitated
to the corridors of the palace, while a
crowd of natives gathered in the square
opposito the palace.
At 5 o'clock the two Filipino officers,
escorted by Lieutenant Sladeu
and Major Maloney, left tho palace.
They did not look at all e'ated as a
result of their talk with General Otis
aud members of tho Philippine commission.
j Made n Fruitless Attempt.
At Calumpit for tho first time a large
body of Filipinos attempted to face
the Americans in open ground. Tho
Filipinos in the trenches were dispersed
after making a ridiculously
feeble resistance; but General Luna's
brigade enmo upon the field from
Macnbeles on tho double-quick, the

the Americans who were entering the
town so closely that the rebels barely

Kulocy <>I ll'r State of Mn>?sacliuaettn
Spoken Through Dr. Conrad.
The state of Massachusetts paid a
glowing tribute to Henry Woodiin
Grady at Atlanta, Ua., mursuay axternoou.
Rev. A. Z. Conrad, pastor of the
Frst Congrcgationalist church of Worcester,
Mass., delivered the memorial
address at the Grand opera house and
that building was packed to its greatest
capacity to accommodate the crowd
that gathered to hear the oration.
After the address at the opera house
a beautiful evergreen wreath was
placed on the monument to Mr. Grady
by Dr. Conrad after appropriate exerercise
and renuirks by a number of
prominent people.
The last address Mr. Grady made
wuh at Boston, Mass., about ten days
before his death. The address was one
of the most eloquent and one of the
most widely quoted that he ever delivered.
It had the effect to draw
closer together the north and the
south than any address that had been
made previous to that time, and the
effort has seldom been equaled.
Mr. Conrad called attention to the
fact that although'''the north has not
erected a monument to the memory of
Henry Grndy, his words have been indelibly
impressed upon them and his
memory is equally sacred there aB
here.
ROADS AND CITY DISAGREE.
Chance? For New Depot In Atlanta, G?.,
A Varv Utl.t.
The chances are fifty to one that Atlanta,
On., will not have a new union
passenger station. The indication are
that tho present carslied will be repaired,
possibly reipodeled, and that
the roads will continue to use it for
several years longer.'
An eii'ort is being made to put the
responsibility on tho roads. Their
reply is: "We are willing to build a
handsome, commodious union station
on the preseut site, but the city council
has imposed conditions upon us
with which we cannot comply."
The roads say they cannot comply
with the city's conditions in respect to
Whitehall street without ruining their
freight yards and damaging warehouses
and depots along their sidetracks.

inadequate and many needy ones
limped out of the wreckage and made
their way as best they could to asylums.
ItulMlnga Take Fire.
Half a dozen wrecked dwellings took
fire immediately after e cyclone had
passed. The fire be. rang out a call
of help to Kirksville's needy, but there
were none with time to stop these
isolated lires. They were left to their
own resources. Lurid lights from
these bonfires illuminated death's
wake, and helped the rescuers to carrjj
on their errand of mercy.
An undertaking establishment was
used as the clutVnel house and a score
of the dead are now there, some of
them un id entitled.
The homes just outside of the death
path were opened to refugees.
On both sides of the storm path the
debris was piled high and when the
fire started it burned fiercely. In all
probability a number of bodies have
been incinerated. The storm first
struck the eastern portion of the city

It was just supper time for the

the list of dead will be tilled with

boarding houses were demolished.
