Terms Offered Filipinos While War Goes On
Manila May 23. Professor Schurman head of the United States Philippine commission submitted written propositions to the Filipinos offering a governor general appointed by the president with cabinet and judges chosen by him, and American or Filipino heads of departments with a people chosen advisory council. The president approved the plan and urged cessation of bloodshed for self government compatible with peace. Filipinos asked to pause hostilities to present peace to their people. Civilian members of the Philippine commission refused to cooperate, calling Aguinaldo's demand preposterous after Otis refused an armistice.
