archipelago. At the same timo when
you communicate to tho sultan thu
above mentioned understanding, the
president desires that you should make
inquiry as to tho number of pereoiu
held in slavery in tho archipelago, and
what arrangement it may bo practicable
for their emancipation."
In his instructions to Genera! Bate.i,
under this direction, General Otis says:
"It is boliovcd that tho market price
of slaves In tho archiiwlago Is insigni
ficant, ranging from $30 to $00, Mexi
can, and that in some instances own
ers will be pleased to grant freedom to
their sluves if thoy can escape the
burden of supporting them.
ucuoral Otis continue to the effect
that tho character of tho domestic slav
ery existing iu tho urchiiielago differs
greatly from tho former slavory institu
tion of tho United Stateo, the slaves
becoming members of tho owner's
family.
General Bates, in his report, stated
that when ho first linked to see the sul
tan, tho latter sent his greetings, say
ing he could not como to the general, be
cause he had boils on his neck, ami could
not put on his coat, but that he would
recognize tho protection of tho United
Mates, requesting as a favor that In
might hoist his own Hug alongside that
of tho United States. Tlio sultau'i
brother went to Jolo to meet General
Bates, and tho sultan afterwards joined
him. Goncral Bates states iu this con
nection that tho Snlus are verv iealous
of their institution of slavery.
in ins original instructions to Gen-
eral Bates, General Otis instructed him
to push to the trout the uuestlon of sov
ereignty, and told him he could promise
for the United States not to intorfcrn
with, but to protect, the Moros in the
freo oxerciso of thoir religion and cus.
toms, social and domestic, and to ro
spect tho rights and dignities of tho
sultan. In return they muht acknow
ledge tho sovereignty of tho United
States. He also instmcted (ennriil
