Manila, May 24, Tho Filipino com missioners spent Tuesday at the resi dence of tho Atnorloan commissioners. iThcy discussed every point o( tho schema of government and tho peaco proclamation details, and naked for In formation as to what personal rights would bo guaranteed them. Col. Charles Donby ot tho Ameri can commlon explained that they would bo the samo as under tho United Mates constitution. Tho Filipinos nl jto desired Informnllon uu to tho school nystem to bo established and approv al of tho American polloy ot tho sep aration of church and stnte. They -chiefly objected to tho schomn on tho ground that ft gave them personal lib. crty which they know they would have, but did not glvo them political liberty. Finally tho Filipinos said they woro personally pleased with tho plnn, but (could not Indorso It oniclally. During tho day tho Filipino commlonors called upon MaJ. Oen. Otis and thoy will probably repent their call. Thcro Is much comtnont hero on the outing tho Filipino envoyn nro enjoying. They nro arrayed In bluo coats, scarlot trousora nnd gold Inco and drlvo nbotit tho city, reveling In tho attentions' be stowed on thorn, which Is ovldontly exceedingly gratifying to them. They are tho centers of continual lovoca at Filipino houses whero they havo bcon entertained and hare had every op portunity to advance tho Interests of tho InsurrecMon, Military sentiment disapproves of tho Filipinos being lionized by their civilian ulcmcnt. aen. Otis, from nnto-bollutn experi ence, nnd owing to tho Filipinos' fond ness of discussion, has maintained tho nttltudo ho assumed with tho first commission. Ho has had no offor to make tho Filipinos snv that they lny down their arms without terms. Tho nrmy believes that it wo Intend to ro jnnln In tho Phlllpplno Islands It will ho cheaper In tho long run to whip the Insurgent so thoroughly that they will bo clad ot tho opportunity to sur render rntlior thnn to parloy with them and mako torms which they would cantruo as a compromise. Tho nrmy Is nlso ot tho opinion that when I'taee tlntitlee, Washington, May 24; Washington's peace jubilee was Inaugurated at sua- rlso yesterday by a national salute of thirteen guns from the Dolphin, an chored off the navy yard, and by tho chimes ot bells and tho sound of steam whistles ovor tho city.

Tho routo was that followed by tho Innu guratlon parades, down Pennsylvania avenue, around tho treasury and In front ot tho whlto houso grounds, where n largo reviewing stand grace fully decorated with burning had been erected. The thrco squares extending from tho Btato, war and navy to tho treasury building had been transform cd Into n court ot honor.
