PLEASESTHEM War Department Officials Grati fied With the Reply of Gen eral Otis. Not Possible for This Country to Recognize the Filipino Congress, Believed Promise* of Peace and Freedom Will Outweigh Asruinaldo. If Fighting Is Prolonged Many Will Desert-The Dispatch From Otis. WAMUXOTOX. May 1.—The war de partment officials are very much grati fied with the tone of the reply of Gen eral Otis to the Filipino delegation. It is considered as comporting witii the dignity of the United States. It would nut be possible for the United States to recogr.ize the existence of the Filipino congress or a Filipino government. It is believed that when General Otis' r«*ply is communicated to the Filipino commanders that they will aok another conference with the expectation of ar ranging favorable terms of peace. It if said at the war department that it is not likely that any further concessions than that of general amnesty will bf* made. Peace and freedom, it is be lieved, will appeal more strongly to the Filipino army than any argument Ag uinaldo and his officers may make. Meanwhile it is the belief of the offi cials of the war department that if the Filipino officials unduly protract the negotiations, wholesale desertions of their men will occur. General Law ton is expected to continue his move ment toward joining forces with Mac Arthur according to the original pro gram, as soon as his soldiers have re covered from the strain of their forced march through the jungle, and this junction probably will be effected by Tuesday. If by that day the insurgents have not laid down their arms, the American forces at the front will be strong enough to resume the campaign with great vigor, and to press forward along the line of the railroad northward even as far as San Fernan do, the latest capital of the insurgents. Everybody is praising the volunteers, a marked change in the sentiment ex pressed a few days ago when it was un derstood that the same men were plead ing to be brought home. Colonel Fun ston came in for the most commenda tion, even the regular officers taking note with admiration of the fact that his achievements were all strictly within the line of plans laid down for him by his superior officer, Oeaeral Wheaton. Medals for All Volantccaa, General Corbin said that every vol unteer who participated in the fighting in the Philippines since peace was de clared should hare a medal of honor. By the terms of their enlistments they were entitled to withdraw from the service, but they had remained volun tarily, performing more than was re quired of them, which was more than the ordinary duty of a soldier. It is ex pected that there will be further nego tiations with the insurgent representa tives at once. While the hope is ex pressed that our commission will not hold out terms so severe as to lead to a renewal of the fighting or the with drawal of the insurgents to another stronghold further north, it is realized that General Otis must exercise care to make sure, they do not, in bad faith, take advantage of the opportunity af forded by a suspension of hostilities to secure whatever of benefit to themselves may come from the rapidly approaching rainy season. CABLED BY OTIS. Filipino Governmetl Kpt Recognised, bat Amnesty la Promised. WASHINGTON, May 1.—General Otis has cabled the war department that his conference with the Filipinos has ter minated. He said that they wanted three weeks in which to allow their congress to decide whether hostilities should cease. The proposition was de clined. The representatives retired to the insurgent lines. General Otis says the insurgents are tired of fighting and are no doubt seeking the best terms. In another cable General Otis expresses thanks to the president for his appre ciation of the work of the army iu the Philippines. It is stated at the war department that the insurgent leaders probably will Confer and seek another contVivnce with General Otis, and that the general will no doubt grant general amnesty. The full text of the dispatches from General Otis are as follows: "Conference with insurgent repre sentatives has terminated. Their request of cessation of hostilities for three weeks to enable them to call their con gress to decide whether to continue lie prosecution of war or propose terms »f peace. Proposition declined and full amnesty promised on surrender. Be lieve insurgents tired of war, but seek to secure terms of peace through what they denominate their representative congress." "The congratulations of his excel lency. the president, for which all are grateful, will be conveyed as directed." Thirteenth Infantry Sails, SAN FKANVISCK.

K pllai'i I'oeui l'rotect#-(l. Cm. A(»o, May 1.—A perpetual in junction protecting the copyright of Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man'.- Burden." was granted by Judge Kohlr-aat in the circuit court, against the publishing firm of F. II. Schipple A: Co. of this city. It was charged by Mr. Kipling and his publili.-is that the de fendant had published and circulated his poem in a pamphle: without permis sion. By the order of the court the de fendant is obliged tc surrender as many copies of the poem as he n recover. The .n who has lo«t a leg on the fn-Id of battle may find a fairly service able substitute in a crutch or a wooden leg, but the man whoci* lungs have been invaded by the dead ly germs of consumption must act promptly or give up all hope. There is no substitute for a destroyed lung, and there is no hope for lungs that are crippled, save in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Although sweet to the taste it contains no syrup or sugar, which so often disagrees with the dyspeptic stom ach. It contains no alcohol to inebriate or create morbid craving for stimulants. It is the only known medicine that, acting through the blood, will build new and healthy lung tissues. It builds up the lungs because it builds up the whole body. It endows a man with the appetite of a football fjaver. It puts strength ana muscle into the 6toi^achand intestines, and causes the digestive juices to flow freely. It fills the blood with the elements that build up everv organ and tissue of the body. It turns dis» eased lung tissue into healthy tissue by aiding nature in her own process of tearing down and re building. It cures bron chitis, weak lungs, bleeding from lungs and lingering coughs. It prevents con •amption by curing the wetkncM tlut leads up to it. Honest druggists do not offer sabstitutes, and urge them upon you as "just as good." Below is one of the thousands who have testified to these facts. Abrarn Freer, Esq., of Rockbridge, Greene Co.. Ills., writes: "My wife had a severe attack of pleurisy and lung trouble the doctors gave her up to die. She commenced taking Or. Pierce's »olden Medical Discovery and she began to im prove from the first dose. ny the time she had taken eight or ten bottle* she was cured, and it was the cause of a large amount being sold here. think the 'Golden Medical Discovery' is the best medicine in the world for lung trouble.
