The Manila meeting between General Otis and Filipino envoys led by Colonel Argueleses and Lieutenant Bernal failed to secure a cessation of hostilities. The Filipinos, treated hospitably, announced they would return with fresh proposals from General Luna as reinforcements move to the south. Negotiations centered on armistice terms and self government, with the Americans insisting on amnesty rather than independence.

He says the insurgents are tired of fighting and seek favorable peace terms, while war department officials doubt further concessions will be offered.

The dispatch also notes renewed calls for unity among American forces and signals continued military pressure.
Unofficial negotiations claim peace talks between US authorities in Manila and Philippine leaders continue since before the Malolos siege.
