AMNESTYT0TAGAL3
Proclamation Will Be Issued
on Fourth of July.
AGU1NALDO WILL BE FREED
And All Other Political Prisoners,
Including? Those nt Gnam Crim
inals Are Xot Af
fected. At the Cabinet meeting: yesterday it.
was agreed to Issue a proclamation of
amnesty for all political prisoners In
the Philippines, to take effect on the
Fourth of July. It Includes Asulnaldo
and those held at Guam.
WASHINGTON, June 27. At the meet
ing of the Cabinet today the terms of an
amnesty proclamation to the Filipinos
-which it is contemplated to issue on the
Fourth of July were agreed upon. For
Eorao time past the "War Department has
had under consideration the draft 'of the
proclamation, and has found It necessary
to make a number of changes In its text
In Its modified form it was agreed to by
the Cabinet today, and Secretary Root will
cable It to Acting Governor Wright for
his inspection. If it meets the latter's ap
proval, nothing will remain but for the
President, if the Philippine government
bill is a law on that day, as It is now I
expected it will be, to issue on Independ
ence day a formal proclamation setting
forth the terms of amnesty for all political
offenders In the islands, including Aguln
aldo and those held at Guam.
The proclamation is based on the object
of the Philippine government bill, namely,
to restore peace in the archipelago and
substitute a civil for a military adminis
tration. That bill is now in conference,
and the proclamation will not be issued
until the Philippine bill has been agreed
upon by both houses and the President
has affixed his signature to It. The proc
lamation will declare that a state of peace
now exists in the Philippine Islands, save
In the parts of the archipelago where the
Mindanao or pagan tribes arc giving the
United States a great amount of trouble,
and will declare In effect that with the
transfer of the government of the archi
pelago from a military to a .civil status all
those arrested and held for political of
fenses shall be restored to liberty, grant
ed full pardon, and allowed to participate
In the -civil government that is to be es
tablished in the islands.
While the proclamation is subject to
changes In text, the general language of
the document Is pretty -well mapped out.
There was a general discussion today of
the treatment that should be accorded the
.present prisoners in the islands. There is
no Intention, it Is said, to release prison
ers convicted of other than political of
fenses, the benefits of the amnesty being
llm.ted to those in custody as a result of
breaches of military law, leaving criminal
offenders to the action of the proper au
thorities under the coming; civil govern
ment The purpose Is to demonstrate that
motives of humanity and generosity dictate
our course toward the Philippines. When
the Islands are turned over to the civil
authorities, they will not be left without
adequate military protection, as no more
troops will be ordered home for the pres
ent, and every precaution will bo taken for
the military safeguarding of the islands
for the new civil administration.
Another subject under consideration at
the Cabinet meeting today was the nego
tiations for the purchase of the friar
lands In the Philippines. Secretary Root
took with him to the meeting all the cor
respondence nhich has passed between
himself and Governor Taft while the lat
ter has been carrying on his negotiations
at Rome. It Is understood that Secretary
Root feels every confidence in a success
ful outcome of Governor Taft's efforts.
The Cabinet had up the question of nam
ing the naval vessels provided for In the
naval appropriation bill, and it Is stated a
decision was reached on that matter, but
it was decided not to make the names
public until the vessels are actually au
thorized. The Cabinet meeting was held In the
President's temporary quarters on La Fay
ette Square, and it was the first time In
SS years that a regular session of the
Cabinet has been held outside the White
House.
PETITION OP ANTIS.
Ask That Filipinos Be Permitted to
Lay Their Case Before People.
BOSTON, June 27. The New England
Anti-Imperialist League held a public
meeting In Faneuil Hall last night vhen
Bourke Cockran, of New York, was speak
er. Its object was to formulate a demand
that the representative Filipinos like
Agulnaldo and Mabinl be permitted to
come to this country and lay their case
before the American people. Gamlel Brad
ford presided, and reminded the audience
that the Philippine War had cost over
$500,000,000.
Mr. Cockran spoke with great earnest
ness. Ho first took Cuba as the text for
his remarks on the effects and distinguish
ing characteristics pf imperialism. He
charged bad faith in the treatment of Cu
ba. Our oppression of the Cubans, he con
tended, had been more scientific, more
drastid and more terrible than that of
Spain, because it was being taken for the
purpose of enriching a syndicate. The
treatment of the Filipinos by the United
States, Mr. Cockran declared, was the
b-ackest page In, history. He was confi
dent Imperialism had run its course, and
that the whole matter would be settled nt
the next election. In outlining what be
believed this country should do. he said:
"We ask that the chiefs of the Filipino
people come before us and Inform us what
they want that we may Judge whether
they are fit for the high responsibilities
of citizenship, or whether they be held in
vassalage."
A petition to Congress embodying the
ideas of the meeting was circulated and
signed.
Vatican Is Cantlons.
LONDON. June 27. The Rome corre
spondent of the. Times, referring to the
purpose of the presence there of William
H. Taft Civil Governor of the Philippine
Islands, says in a communication, dated
June 1C:
"The Vatican Is anxious, not only to
be on good terms -with the Washington
Government, but also to obtain the com
pensation which Judge Taft Is understood
to offer for the dispossession of the monks
In the Philippines. But as such dispos
session Involves some loss of prestige, the
Vatican Is obliged to act cautiously in ap
pearing to sanction such a precedent It
is not difficult to predict, continues the
corresiiondent that before the negotia
tions are ended, Washington may find
Itself obliged to temper the spirit If not
the letter of some of its principles by "in
serting In an eventual agreement some
clause susceptible of coercive use should
the religious orders or the Vatican attempt
to elude ther engagements."
Henlttt of Philippine Troops.
WASHINGTON. June 27. Surgeon-General

the dhrlfclon. 6.01 per cent, as compared
with (L26 the previous month. A large in
crease s reported In the number of deaths,
both frcm Injuries and from diseases. The
Increase In the former class was due
largely to the battle at Bayan. Mindanao,
And In the iatter class to cholera.

MANILA, June 77. There Is no positive
proof that the four American teachers ot
Cebu, Island of Cebu, who have been

dered, as members of the constabulary,
who kilted a man for resisting1 arrest,
found on his person a revolver, watch
and chain, which had belonged to Mr.
Thomas, one of the teachers referred to.

THE MOKNING
TftLER BRINGS UP CUBA
SJJJSAItS IN SENATE 137 OPPOSITION
TO GRAXTI5G RECIPROCITY.
Declares the Entire Propaganda, Has
Been Backed by the Sasr-Trtut
Senator Piatt's Reply.
WASHINGTON, June. 7.-Qulte unex
pectedly a sharp jlebate arose In the Sen
ate today on the question of Cuban re
ciprocity. Teller, at whose Instance tho
Senate committee on -Cuban relations
made Its investigation of the subject de
livered a spirited speech In opposition to
reciprocity with Cuba. He charged that
the entire reciprocity propaganda had
been backed by tho American Sugar Re
fining: Company and by Americans' who
were Interested financially Jn Cuban su
gar plantations. The .purpose, he said,
was to strike down an Important agri
cultural Industry of this country. He
-was willlne to Join in a. general revision
or the tariff to meet changed conditions,
but unless the duties on iron and steel
and other products were reduced with
those on sugar. In order that the arrange
ment might be equitable, the beet-sugar
growers never would consent to a reduc
tion on their product
Piatt (Conn.), chairman of the Cuban
relations committee, replied to the Col
orado Senator. Ho maintained that there
was nothing sordid In the desire to pro
mote reciprocal relations between the
United States and Cuba, and said the
making of some concession to Cuba was
a plain duty of this country. It was a
duty which this Government owed 16 it
self as well as to Cuba, because abso
lutely friendly relations with the new
Republic were a necessary means of de
fense to this country unless the United
States should annex the Island. That ho
hoped would not be done, as he regarded
annexation as a grave menace to our In
stitution. The District of Columbia appropriation
bill was disposed of finally, as were sev
eral other less important measures.
The Proceedings.
A conference report amending the bill
entitled "A bill to provide a code of laws
for the District of Columbia," was agreed
to by tho Senate soon after It convened.
A Joint resolution appropriating $500,000
for a monument to prison-ship martyrs,
to be erected at Fort Green, Brooklyn, N.
Y.. was passed. It provides that the ap
propriation of $100,000 shall be made, tho
work to bo acne Under direction of the
Secretary of War, the Governor of New
York and the Mayof of Now York City.
A joint resolution was passed providing
for the printing of 100.0M copies of the
memorial address on the late President
MeKmly delivered by Secretary Hay.
xne benate disagreed to the Houso
amenflracht to the Philippine bill, and
aske4 for a conference, the conferees
named being Lodge, Allison and Culber
son. A resolution wag adopted authorizing
the cttrmlttee on territories to sit during
the reels' to consider bills providing fr
tho admission of territories, to statehood.
Mitchell presented a joint resolution of
tho Legislature Of Oregon asking Cob
gress for a suitable appropriation for a
centonnltt exposition In honor of the
Lewis ar.d Clark expedition on the Pacific
Coa&t to be heia in the City of Portland
in 1003. Mitchell made a brief speech in
support of the requested appropriation.
Mitchell said it whs his Intention at
this time to call the attention of Con
gress and the American people to the de
termination of the people of the great
Pacifle Northwest to Join hands In com
memorating tho centennial anniversary
of the achievements of Lewis and Clark
by holding a grand Industrial exposition
at Portland. Much had been done al
ready by the people In that direction by
raising funds and getting the exposition
under way, under the direction of tho
president ex-Senator Corbett Ho said
that at the next session of Congress he
should ask that proper Congressional rec
ognition be given to the exposition, not
withstanding the statement of Hale that
the United States should not take part
In any other expositions.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill was then sent to conference, with
Hale, Allison and Teller as conferees.
Pettus offered tho following: resolution:
"Whereas. It is asserted that American
citizens holding American, passports have
been and are excluded by the Russian
Empire from its territory, solely because
of their religious belief, contrary to
treaty stipulations, therefore,
"Resolved, That tho President of the
United States is requested, it not Incom
patible with the public Interest to inform
ine benate as to tho attitude of the Rus
sian Government toward American citi
zens attempting to enter its territory with
American passports."
Bacon inquired if there was authority
for tho statement !n the preamble to the
resolution.
Pettus replied that ho had what ho con
sidered reliable authority for the asser
tion.
Tho resolution was adopted.
Consideration then was begun of the
bill "to provide for the allotment of tho
lands of the Cherokee Nation, for the dis
position of town sites therein, and for
other purposes."
During consideration of the bill, Teller
taking advantage of the latitude of de
bate, addressed the Senate on the subject
of Cuban reciprocity. He said he -did not
think this session of Congress 6hould ad
journ without submitting some facts on
the subject
After asking for the printing or several
documents. Teller referred to the state
ments made of the distress In Cuba, and
to tho statements that unless the United
States should give relief to thfe Island,
a revolution would occur. Teller declared
that the statements were untrue, and that
there nevor had been any condition Jn
tho Island which warranted the state
ments. He asserted that it had been
proved affirmatively that no such condi
tion existed. "I say," said he, "measur
ing my words, that never In my experi
ence In public life has there been so
patent and open an attempt to deceive
the American people as this. " He said
the attempt at deception was made by
those who were relying upon the well
known desire of the American people to
assist any other people who were in dis
tress. Discussing the beet-sugar Industry, tho
Colorado Senator said tho question was
one of great Impprtance to the people Of
the West They had studied It and It
did not take them long to ascertain "that
thp American Sugar R-sflnlng Company,
the American sugar trust was pretty ac
tive ih Urging the reduction of duty on
Cuban eugar."
He said there was some desire on the
part of Cubans to secure a reduction of
the duty on tobacco, but that was lost
sight of In -view of the propaganda for
tho reduction In the duty on sugar.
"Thero has been," he declared, "mote
misrepresentation and misstatement
about our obligations to Cuba than about
almost any other question. Every obliga
tion which the country was under td
Cuba has been performed," he said, and
he challenged any Senator to Indicate
any obligation which the United States
was under to the Island. "There is no
distress in Cuba," he declared, "and my
correspondence with the people of the isl
and proves this. The Cubans are not
mendiccntr ai our hands. The American
holders of sur lands la Cuba and the
American Sugar. Refining Company are at
the bottom of this effort to change our
financial system with reference to Cuba."
Teller said thaj. Cuba was one of tho"
richest countries In the world, and ho re
ferret' to her enormous exports. He as
serted that the Cuban laborers received
from 3 to $30 a month in sold, a sum,
ho thought that would enable them to
live quite ns well as the laborers In this
country.
Discussing the diplomatic situation of
the Cuban, Government. Teller expressed
the belief that the Piatt ' amendment
OBEGOtflAN, SATURDAY,
ought not o K&Ye been adopted, as it was
"a viol&tioa. an unnecessary violation,"
of good faith on tho part of the United
States. He pointed out that Cuba, might
Wiake a commercial agreement with Great
Britain, for instance, in which that coun
try might have advantages over the Unit
ed States. He hoped no such agreement
would be made, but Cuba could maka
such agreement If she desired. He said
that It was Rot a fact that thousands of
laborers recently had arrived in Cuba
from Spain; labor in the island was scarce
and high-priced. In such circumstances
there would be, in his judgment no great
distress.
Referring to the bill passed by tho
House, Teller said: "When the differen
tial was taken oft there was a reat fall
ing off in the Interest In reciprocity on
the part of the sugar trust"
"On the part of the sugar people, too,"
interjected Spooner.
"No, no." replied Teller. "Wa did not
go that far."
He understood that a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba would be presehtcd at the next
session of the Senate. "I think." said
he, "that it will be exceedingly unfair to
the American eugargrowers, both beet
and cane, to make the proposed conces
sions to Cuba and let her maintain her
present labor laws and compel the states
of Colorado, Louisiana. Texas and other
states to compete with Chinese labor in
tho Island. "I am willing to Join you."
said he. addressing the Republican side,
"upon general revision of tho, tariff. In
making a proper reduction of tho tariff
to meet changed conditions, but I do not
prop&se to submit to a reduction alone on
the only product of the American farmer
that baa any real protection. When you
get ready td take 20 per Cent of duty off
steel and Iron. I speak for my people
when I say we will ngreo to a reduction
of duty on sugar. We can make all the
sugar necessary for the United States in
this country If we are given only equit
able protection. There is a reciprocity
in protection that must bo maintained
and that we are going to insist on."
In conclusion, he said the proposed bill
of the Committee on relations with Cuba
proceeded 6n the theory that the United
States could not produce Its own sugar.
This, as he declared, was unfair to the
American people.
Plati (Conn.), chairman ot the commit
tee on Cuban relations, replied briefly to
Teller's argument Ho declared that it
was In the nature of an attack by the
beet sugar trust on the refiners' sugar
trust "it is," he insisted, "entirely out
side the question whether the United
States ought to enter Into reciprocal re
lations with our nearest neighbor."
He declared that no effort to excite dis
trust of and prejudice against tho .sugar
trust would affect materially the real Is
sue of Cuban reciprocity. That Issue was
madfe up. He sharply criticised Teller's
speech, saying it was made Up largely
"from the speculative Imaginings of a
witness employed by the boot sugar lobby
here."
Piatt said that from the time our mil
itary forces occupied Cuba, he had be
lieved that eventually either the United
States must come Into such relations with
the Cubans as to produce In them con
tentment prosperity and happiness, or
that we would be obliged to accept an
offer Of annexation from a discontented
and unhappy people. He regarded an
nexation as one of the greatest dangers
to the United 8tates. "When wo annex
Cuba," said het "we shall have taken the
first ftep toward the demoralization, if
not the disintegration, of our Republican
institutions. I think we have come to a
great crisis In our affairs. We have one
plain duty t6 perform, and that is to
treat Cuba so as to gain her lasting
friendship. I stand for a permanent Re
public In Cuba, that Is what the amend
ment (referring to tho so-called Piatt
amendment) meant when wo adopted it"
Ho believed that the best Interests 6f
the United States would bo to leave this
Government to form closo and pleasant
relations with Cuba to tho end that no
necessity would exist for annexation.
In a brief reply to Piatt, Teller referred
to his expressed fear of annexation as
"baby Cry," and a "childish attack on
those who differed from him on the qucs
tloi of reciprocity." He declared that
tht question had been started in the in
terest 6f the great American sugar trust,
and that the people had been deceived
regarding the question, "by the purchased
newspapers of this country." Referring
to the pending legislation, Teller said,
after taunting Piatt for not bringing a
bill into the Senate at this session: "Wo
are prepared to take the bill as It came
from the House, and we will take it
now."
The Cherokee Indian bill then was
passed:
Allison presented the conference report
op the District of Columbia appropriation
bill, and It was agreed to, thus passing
the measure.
The conference report on the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indian treaty bill also
was agreed to.
The following bills among others were
passed: To provide for the organization
of private corporations In the District of
AlaskAJ authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to fix the salaries of the Dep
uty Collectors at tho sub-ports of entry
at Taeoma and Seattle, the salary not to
exceed $2500 a year each; to Incorporate
the Society of the Army of Santiago de
Cuba; extending the time for making final
proof on desert land entries in Yakima
County, Washington.
The Senate then, at 5:5? P. M., went
into executive session, and soon after
ward adjourned.

If a separate vote would be allowed on

House Democrats IfVsmt Legislation
on Cuba and Trusts.
WASHINGTON. June 27. The House
Democratic caucus held today adopted the
following resolutions:
"Resolved, First That we condemn tne
Republican majority in Congress for their
failure to pass a measure providing reci
procity with Cuba. The bill which passed
the House ot Representatives was heartily
supported by the Democratic minority
after the protection to the sugar trust had
been ramovea by a solid vote, aided by a
small number of the Republican members.
As it passed the House the bill carried
relief to Cuba. It reduced the price of
sugar to American consumers and struck
a heavy blow at the notorious and obnox
ious sugar trust The refusal of the Re
publican Senators to consider this meas
ure, unless the protection to the sugar
trust should be restored, gives evidence
that the President and Republican party
In Congress are willing to refuse relief to
Cuba and totally Ignore American consum
ers, rather than abandon their alllanca
with the trusts. The failure of all reci
procity legislation with Cuba rests upon
the Republican Administration, which is
willing to reduce the duty on raw sugar
of our producers, but unwilling to destroy"
the suear monopoly.
"Second That the Republican majority
in Congress is dominated and controlled
by the trusts and monopolies, which have
the great industries of our country In their
grasp, is shown by its action in passing
an onti-trust bill through the House of
Representatives of the 58th Congress In
the closing hours of the session, and the
Senate refusing to consider the same, as
a subterfuge to tide over tho election of
1000. That bill has been abandoned and
they have ever since refused, and do now
refuse and fall to bring in any measure
to suppress the trusts or to favor any of
the numerous anti-trust measures intro
duced by Democrats during this Con
gress. "Third That wo favor the passage of
a measure to amend the present anti
trust law so as to more fully protect trade
and commerce against unlawful restraints
and monopolies, and also a measure td
rtduce the duties on all articles and com
modities manufactured and controlled or
produced in the United States by a trust
or trusts so as to destroy such illegal com
binations and to reduce the rate of duty
on any article or commodity manufactured
in the United Stales and sold in a foreign
country more cheaply than In the United
States.
"Fourth We oppose the adjournment of
Congress until the measures mentioned
above have been enacted Into law."
The caucus lasted only an hour, and was
devoted feu a discussion of the terms of
the foregoing resolution, which was drawn
up by Representative Jackson, of Kansas,
and presented by Representative Griggs,
of Georgia, chairman of the Democratic
Congressional committee. A number of
speeches were made arraigning the ma
jority in Congress, and in support of a
alrong Democratic declaration. Repre
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee, the
Democratic floor leader, was among the
Speakers, and at the close of his speech
the resolutions were adopted unanimously.
