Filipinos Approve American Proposal After Parley Disagree on Details
Manila May 29 Filipino commissioners spent the day at the American residence and rejected parts of the government scheme, mainly personal liberty concerns, while expressing general satisfaction.

Rosario surrendered to American forces after secret travel and parole release, claiming Luna as dictator and Aguinaldo fears treachery amid ongoing fighting. The wet season begins and rice fields will soon flood.
