final decision as to the form of government Is In the hands of congress the president under his powers pending the action of congress stands ready to offer the lowing form of A governor general to be appointed by the president a cabinet to be pointed by the governor general all tha judges to be appointed by the president the heads of departments and judges to be either Americans or Filipinos or both and also a general advisory council Its members to be chosen by the people by a form of suffrage to be hereafter fully determined upon The president earnestly desires that bloodshed cease and that the people of the Philippines at an early date the largest measure of self government compatible with peace and the United States commission pre- pared the scheme and the president cabled his approval of the form of the document Filipinos have made no definite proposition except for a cessation of hostilities until they can present the question of peace to the people Schurman told the Filipinos they had no means of gathering the people together as the Americans control most of the ports He also reminded them that a liberal form of government was offered them and pointed out that it was better than the conditions existing under Spanish rule president of tlw Filipino commission replied that nothing could be worse than rule and ad- mitted that the form ol government proposed was liberal The civilian members of the Filipino commission have declined to co-operate with the other members ot that com- mission as the former consider naldo's latest demand to be after Major General Oils refusal of ail armistice referring to his wish time in order to consult the Filipino congress On In spite of the presence of the Filipino commissioners In Manila the military operations continue with unabated or The visitors are apparently oblivious to the true condition of affairs and are enjoying their visit here They were immediately Inundated with invitations day and night and express surprise at the state of affairs Within our lines They were led to believe that thing was chaotic and are delighted at the recaption accorded them Reports received from persona who have arrived from the interior show that no troops are reft In the northern provinces They were all drafted south after the outbreak of war The villages on the west coast are almost deserted and tha especially are desirous of joining the Americans if only for the purpose of crushing the Tagalogs Many natives of Benguet and Ilocos said that If the Americans had not ar- rived civil war would necessarily have owing to the friction between the Tagalogs and the inhabitants of other provinces It is added that the only Filipino troops now left are men under General Luna at Tarlac and about under General Pio del Even these are demoralized and short of arms and supplies Many of their rifles are dis- and the Filipinos are unable to repair them owing to the lack of and materials for so doing A coasting steamer which has arrived here reports that the Spanish garrison at Zamboanga island of Mindanao Is holding the rebels In the same manner aa the Americans held them while they were in the vicinity of

report from Manila that a form of government has been proposed to the Filipinos ing a governor general cabinet and ad- council is confirmed at the state department where it ie said this is the general line of action on which the here and at Manila are The plan is the outgrowth of numerous cable and matl exchanges be- tween President Schurman of the commission and Secretary Hay as we'll as advices from General Otis and Admiral Dewey The proposition to have a governor general and cabinet appointed by the president Is substantially the same as the system now In operation in Cuba Like the Cuban system the tion would be military In character for time being at while conditions were unsettled The authorities here are acting on the theory that as in the case of Porto Rico it will be for congress to establish the permanent form pf government for the islands It waa understood at the time Major General Lawton went to Manila that General Otis would become governor general while General ton assumed active direction of military affairs It is not improbable that thla plan might be carried out If the accept the plan now proposed thus making Otis the first ernor general with General Lawton and General MacArthur occupying similar to thOM of General low and General Wood in Cuba proposed advisory council also to that in Cuba where Governor General Brooke has the advice of a tive council ai well M that of the tary under him The main idea IB to carry out the assurances given in the proclamation issued some time ago to maintain the of the United States over the islands and at the same time give the natives the largest measure of home rule The war department has the following cablegram from General Conditions aa In Bulacan province troops maintained at San Miguel Lawton ing down Rio Grande river from San Has driven enemy westward from San and where he was joined by col- umn Will reach Santa Ana and MacArthur still at San Fernando and will occupy cities south and ward Insurgent
