HE ASKS FOR PEACE
-Agulnaldo's Address to-the
. Filipino People,
THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH WAR
Urges His Countrymen to Accept the
Sovereignty of the United States
MacArthur Releases 1000
Insurgent Prisoners.
MANILA, April 19. Following1 is Agui
naldo's address to the Filipino people,
made public this evening:
"I believe I am not in error in presum
ing that the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has led me Is not a
surprise to those who have been familiar
with the progress of the war. The lessons
taught with a full meaning, and which
have recently come to my knowledge,
suggest with irresistible force that a com
plete termination of hostilities and lasting
pace are not only desirable, but abso
lutely essential to the' welfare of the
Philippine Islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor have they
faltered in following the path pointed out
by their fortitude and courage. The time
has come, however, in which they find
their advance along this path to be im
peded by an irresistible force which, while
It restrains them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens to them another course,
presenting to them the cause of peace.
This cause has been joyfully embraced
by the majority of my fellow-countrymen,
who have already united arouqd the glo
rious sovereign banner of the United
States. In this banner they repose their
trust and belief that under Its protection
the Filipino people will attain all those
promised liberties which they are begin
ning to enjoy.
"The country has declared unmistak
ably In favor of peace So be it. There
has been enough blood, enough tears and
enough desolation. This wish cannot be
ignored by the men still in arms if they
are animated by a desire to serve our
noble people, which has thus clearly man
ifested its will. So do I respect this
will, now that it is known to me.
"After mature deliberation, I resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot re
fuse to heed the voice of a people longing
for peace, nor the lamentations of thou
sands of families yearning to see their
dear ones enjoying the liberty and' the
promised generosity of the great Ameri
can. Nation.
"By acknowledging and accepting the'
sovereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as I now
do, and without any reservation whatso
ever, I believe that I am serving thee, my
beloved country. May happlnes3 be
go4 signalize this important, tep. hi 'thev

General MacArthur and General Bates,
the commander of the Department of
Southern Luzon, who Is shortly to sail
for the United States, reviewed today the
Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Volunteer In
fantry, which will sail for home on the
transport Sheridan Monday next.
During the past week, 2S8 rifles have
been surrendered.
The extent of the commissary irregulari
ties is not yet defined, but is possibly
smaller than at first supposed.
EFFECT OF THE ADDRESS.
It Will Be Felt in This Country nf
Well tin in the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, 'April 19. It Is believed
by the Administration that the manifesto
of Aguinaldo will -have a decidedly good
effect, both in the Philippines and in this
country. It will take some time for its
dissemination among the Filipinos, but it
is expected to be of considerable service
and to make more rapid the improvement
in the situation which set in some time
ago and which has become much marked
of late. Especial gratification Is felt at
the unreserved tone of the document and
the full acceptance it indicates of Ameri
can rule. This, it is felt, will bring to the
support of the Government many Fili
pinos who, wishing for peace, have hesi
tated to assist the Taft Commission. In
this country it Is expected to reduce the
criticism of the Administration and to
cause less discussion of the general pol
icy of the war in the Islands and more
consideration of the important matter of
the best administration to be evolved for
their government. It Is to this work that
the Taft Commission Is now bending all
its energies.
Aguinaldo, now that he has accepted
American sovereignty, probably will be
given more liberty than he has enjoyed
hitherto. His services will be used, as
far as possible, in the pacification of the
Islands. The extent, however, to which
he will be permitted his freedom is for
General MacArthur to determine with the
assistance of the Taft Commission, for
the aim of the home government here
will be to rest largely upon the views
held by Its representatives in the Islands.
Coincident with the issue of-the mani
festo at Manila, Secretary Root made
public the copy received from General
MacArthur. This came to hand April 10,
and differs slightly in phraseology from
that made public In Manila. General
MacArthur informed the department at
that time that the manifesto had been
prepared by Aguinaldo with the assist
ance only of the two staff officers who
were with him at the time he was cap
tured. Secretary Root declined to be In
terviewed on the subject of the manifesto,
further than to say that It was dignified
In tone and admirably constructed.
The Quartermaster-General's Depart
ment has purchased a transport at Ma
nila to carry animals from that port to
various island stations, relieving the
larger transports of that duty. The new
transport has been named the Liscum,
In honor of Colonel Liscum, who was
killed at the battle of Tien Tsin.
TOWNE CALLS IT PATHETIC.
Says Address Is Utterance of a Man
Who Yields to Force Only.
KANSAS CITY. April 19. The Journal
tomorrow will say:
Ex-Senator Charles A. Towne was
shown a copy of Aguinaldo's proclama
tion last night. He said:
"It is clearly the utterance of a man
who yields to force only, and, consider
ing the occurrences of the past two years,
It constitutes one of the most pathetic
incidents In history. I see nothing In the
proclamation on which to base any impu
tation on the good faith of Aguinaldo.
There Is, however, an expression.' that
somewhat alters my opinion of his astute
ness, based on his previous conduct. He
says that the Filipino people will, under
the sway of the United States, obtain all
'promised liberties.' He cannot have for-
gotten the assurance of General Ander
son In 1893 as to the justice with which
our 'allies 'against Spain would be treated
or the solemn promises of benevolent as
similation. "One thing should be borne In mind
the surrender of every hostile force In the
Philippines and the absolute acceptance
of our dominion throughout the archipel
ago does not dispose of the question In
volved in the acquisition and government
by this Republic of distant colonial de
pendencies. Wrong as the policy is, and
cruel as it Is against the Filipinos, it Is
Infamously more wrong and Cruel from
the standpoint of the welfare of the United
States."
ARMY IN THE PHILIPPINES.
No Material Chnngea Will Be --Made
at Present.
WASHINGTON, April 19. Adjutant
General Corbin authorizes the statement
that no material changes will be made in
the army In the Philippines until after
the War Department has heard from
General Chaffee on the subject. In ac
cordance with orders previously issued
General Chaffee will relieve General Mac
Arthur of the command of the military
forces in the Philippines June 30 and the
present expectation Is that a general
clyll government will be established in
the archipelago about that time. General
Corbin says that recent developments In
the Philippines have caused no change
In the general plans of the departments
for the dispatch of regular troops from
the United States to replace the volun
teers ordered home for discharge before
July 1 next. General Corbin gives an em
phatic denial to the published reports
that General MacArthur has been In
structed to reduce the army immediately
to 40,000 men.
With a view to relieving all 'the regular
troops who have had a long .period 'of
service in the Philippines, the Secretary
of War has decided to replace them as
rapidly aB circumstances will permit with
the new regiments now in course of or
ganization in this country. A plan has
been adopted by which troops will be
given one year's service in the United
States and two years In the Philippines.
Its operations will result in each regi
ment always having one battallo'n in re
serve in the United States. The regular
troops in the Philippines will be brought
home gradually and the movement will
begin as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be perfected. The troops hav
ing the longest service In the tropics will
be the first to return to the United States.
The War Department has chartered the
transport Tartar, now at Hong Kong, to
bring home discharged men of the regu
lar army.

to an engagement, inasmuch as he will
hardly stand his ground. The expedition
is more in the nature of a threat. The
military contributor to the Berliner Tage
blatt expresses the same opinion, point
ing out that In this Instance, as In the
case of the Pao Ting Fu expedition
some months ago. premature publication
by the British' and American press will
enable the Chinese General, "who profits
by the excellent news purveying system
of the Chinese, fed by every Chinese dip
lomat abroad," to retire beyond the reach
of the expedition before Its arrival. This
writer asserts that "such premature pub
lications hJive done immense 'damage to
the cause of the allies in China on vari
ous occasions."

tion and declaring their readiness to ac
knowledge the suzerainty of Russia If
th'e Russians withheld their project for

China.
f,It is expected that the palace fire will
give the Empress Dowager another ex-
cuse for delaying the return of the court
to Pekin."

Verdict of Coroner's Jury in
the Gem, Idaho, Case,
ACCUSED IS UNDER ARREST
Effort Was Made to Talce Prisoner
From Sheriff by a Constable, but
It Proved Unsuccessful Will
Have Hearing Tuesday.
WALLACE, Idaho, April 19. Late lnsC
night the Coroner's jury rendered its ver
dict, finding that Fisher, who was mys
teriously murdered at Gem Sunday night,
came to his death by a gunshot wound
Inflicted by Deputy Sheriff Daniel Ftn
lay. Sheriff Sutherland Immediately took
him into custody on a warrant Issued by
the Probate Court. Shortly afterward
Constable McGovern appeared with a war
rant Issued by a Justice of the Peace
and endeavored to take the prisoner, but
did not succeed. The fact that the Coro
ner turned the warrant over to a Con
stable instead of the Sheriff has given
rise to some unfavorable comment, aris
ing largely from the strained relations ex
isting between the two factions In the
county. The prisoner appeared before
Probate Judge Knight this morning, and
his preliminary hearing was set for Tues
day. Smith, one of the men arrested on sus
picion of being concerned In the attack
on the Deputy Sheriffs at Mulian Satur
day night, has been released, there not
being sufficient evidence to warrant the
officers attempting to hold him for the
crime. Rogers will have his hearing to
morrow if Rose, the wounded officer, Is
able to appear.
