EMPTY CLAIMS OF FILIPINOS
Uevejr Ma4a He rnalm AgalaaUs
A HUtvrjr ( Kvsats That rrseseee
the SaaaUh War. .
v
Washington, Nov. 4. In accordance
with the nndervtanding reached at the
conference at the White House yester
day, the Philippine coimuieton sub
mitted to the president the preliminary
report which it had promised to pre
pare. The report appears to be a romact
summary of conditions on the lidaudt
as the commission left them; of the hi
torical events which preceded the
Sanih war and led to the original
Filipino insurrection; of the exchange
between Admiral Dewey and the other
American commanders and the insur
gents, the breaking out and pnyrvtMi of
the present insurrection, and finally a
statement of the capacity of the Fili
pinos for self-government. A notable
feature of the report ia a memorandum
by Admiral Dewey, explanatory of his
relations with Aguinaldo.
The commiiwion tells briefly how it
conducted the tank in trusted to it,
hearing statements from all clauses of
people in Manila as to the c inability
of the Filipinos for self -government,
the habits and customs ol the people,
and alsotheeetablixhmentof municipal
governments In many towns. All this
matter la to be included in the final
Wlrt-
Hlatorr thk Idaads.
Turning to the history, of the Inlands,
the commiiwion attaches a little impor
tance to the divers rebellions which
had preceded that of 189tf. At to this
movement it declares It was in no
eenae sn attempt to win Independence,
but solely to obtain relief from' intoler
able sbuxes. To sustain this statement
the commlsxion quotes from an insur
gent proclamat on showing that what
was demanded waa the expuUion ol
the friars and the restitution to the
people of their lands, with a division
of the Episcopal sees between Spanish
and native priests. It was also de
manded that the Filipino have parlia
mentary representation, freedom of the
press, religious toleration, economic
autonomy and laws siuilar to those of
pain. The abolition of the power of
banishment was demanded, with a
legal equality for all persons in law
and equality in pay between Spanish
and native civil servants.
The commission declares that these
demands had good ground; that on pa
per thKpanijih. system. ul coveruuitnt
was tolerable, but in practice every
Sanish governor' did what he saw fit,
and the evil deeds of men in the gov
ernment were hidden from Spain by
strict press censorship. Allusion is
made to the powerful Katipunan so
ciety, patterned on the Masonic order,
and mainly made up of Tagals, as a
powerful revolutionary force.
The war begun in 1496 was termin
ated by the treaty of Biac-Na-Itate.
The Filipinos were numerous, but is
sessed only aliout 800 small arms. The
Spanish felt that it would require 100,
000 men to capture their stronghold,
and concluded to resort to the use of
money. 1
The arrangement was not acceptable
to the people. The promise were
never carried out. Spanish abuses be
gan afresh, in Manila alone more than
two 200 men being executed. Hence
rporadio revolutions occurred, though
they possessed nothing like the strength
of the oilginal movement. .The insur
gent lacked arms, ammunition and
leaden. The treaty had ended the
war, which, withthe exception of an
unimportant outbreak in Cebu, had
been confined to Luxon, Spain bov
reignty in the islands never having
been questioned and the thought of in
dependence never having been enter
tained.
The report then tell how General
Angustini came to Manila as governor'
general at this juncture, and war broke
out between Spain and the United
States. Angustini sought to secure
the support of the Filpinos to defend
Spain against America, promising them
autonomy, but the Filipinos did not
trust him. Then came the first of May
and the destruction of the Spanish fleet
by Dewey, with the resulting oss of
prestige to Spain. Then in June, Agui
naldo came.

On this point the commission says
"The following memorandum on thti

after which he was
allowed to land at Cavtte and organsie

purpose ot strengthening the United
States forces and weakening those of
the enemy. No alliance ot any kind
was entered Into with Aguinaldo, nor
wits any promise of Independence made
to him. then or af.-er.x other time."

idly sketches events now historical. It
tells in sulwtanceelow the Filipino at
tacked the Spanish, and how tieueral
Anderson arrived, and Agulualdo, at
his request, removed from Cavlte to
Bacoor.
Tile report states that Aguinaldo
wished to attack the Americana when
they landed at Paranaque, but was de
terred by lack of arm and ammuni
tion. From that, point on there was a
growing friction between the Filipino
and the Americas; troop.
A brief chapter tells of the lack ol
success atteudii g the effort mad at
this time by lieiterl Merritt, through a
commission, to arrive at a mutual un
derstanding with Aguinaldo as to the
intention, purples and desires of the
Filipino people.!

This brings tae story up to the out

with the attack upon the American
troops followi the action of the' Ne
braska sentinel The oominieeiou, in
concluding thti chapter, says:
"After the landing of our troops,
Aguinaldo made up his mind that It
would l nece -nary to fight the Ameri
cans, and after the making of the
treaty of peacy at Paris his determina
tion waa tr Jjfthenod. He did not

war is, the one in which we are now
engaged was a ns voidable. We were
attcked by bold, adventurous and en
thusiastic army. No alternative was
left to ev'.Jijf)onilntous retreat.
"It is not to lie conceived that any
American had sanctioned the surrender
of Manila to the insurgents. Our ol
ligation to other nations and to the
friendly Filipino and to ourselves and
our Hag demanded that force should be
met with force. Whatever the future
of the Philippine may be, there i no
course opqp to us now except the prose
cution of the war until the insurgents
are reduced to submission. The com
mission is" of the opinion that there ha
lieen no time since the destruction of
the Spanish squadron by Admral Dewey
when it was possible to withdraw our
forces from the islands, either with
honor to ourselves or with safety to the
Inhabitants."
"Should our power, by any fatality,
he withdrawn the commission believes
the government of the Philippine
would speedily lapse into anarchy,
which would excuse, if it did not ne
cessitate, the invtervention of other
powers, and the eventual division of
the islands among them. Only through
American occupation, therefore, is the
idea of a free government and . united

ceivable. GOVERNOR GEER PROCLAIMS
