Philippine Sovereignty Admission and US-Backed Government Plan
Aguinaldo's envoys admit US sovereignty over the Philippines. The commission proposes a three‑branch government modeled on the United States with a governor general and cabinet, a suffrage‑based legislature, and an independent judiciary. Peace conditions require Filipinos to lay down arms before the new government is implemented and Congress may adopt the plan.
