Proposals on Philippine Government From Schurman
Manila May 23 United States Philippine Commission head Schurman presented a plan: a governor general appointed by the president, cabinet to the governor general, principal judges and department heads by the president, with some officials American or Filipino or both, plus a general advisory council elected by Filipinos. Filipinos seek cessation of hostilities before peace terms, and debate on a liberal form of government versus Spanish rule. Civilian members dispute Aguinaldo demand and Quiroa armistice delay citing need to consult the Filipino congress.
