President Saadt All tea Oarnmpaadaace - t ia Saaata. ' "Washington, Feb. 5. In oomplianc with a resolution of inquiry, the presi dent baa tent to the senate a copy ot the report and all accompanying papers ot Brigadier-General J. C. Bates, in relation to the negotiation ot a treaty of agreement made by him with the ultaa of Sulu, last August. In reply ing to the request the president says: "The payments of money required by the agreement will bo made from the revenues ot the Philippine islands, un less congress shall direct otherwise. Such payments are not for specifier ser vices, but are a part ot the considera tion going to the sultan, tribe or nation under the agreement, and they are stipulated as subject to the action ot congress, in conformity with the prac tice of this government from the earliest times in its agreements with the vari ous Indian nations operating and gov erning portions of territory subject to the sovereignty of the United States." General Otis in transmitting the treaty, August 27, says: "The attitude ot these people has been a subject ot apprehension tot sev eral months, and by this agreement, I believe, the apprehended pending dif ferences are happily adjusted." Secretary Boot, in a reply dated October 27, tells General Otia that the agreemnet ia confirmed and ap proved by the president, subject to the action of congress, and with the under standing and reservation, which should be distinctly communicated to the sul tan of Sulu, that this agreement is not to be deemed in any way to authorise or give consent of the United States to the existence of slavery in the Sulu archipelago. At the same time when yon communicate to the sultan the above mentioned understanding, the president desires that you should make inquiry aa to the number of persons held in slavery in the archipelago, and what arrangement it may be practicable for their emancipation." In his instructions to General Bates, under this direction, General Otis aava: "It is believed that the market price ot slaves in the archipelago is insigni ficant, ranging from 130 to S90, Mexi can, and that in some instances own en will be pleased to grant freedom to their slaves if tbey can escape the burden of supporting them. General Otis continues to the effect that the character of the domestio slav ery existing in the archipelago differs greatly from the former slavery institu tion ot the United States, the slaves becoming members of the owner's family. General Bates, in his report, stated that when he first asked to see the sul tan, the latter sent hia greetings, say ing he could not come to the general, be cause he had boils on his neck, and could not put on his coat, but that he would recognise the protection of the United States, requesting as a favor that be might hoist his own flag alongside that of the United States. The sultan's brother went to Jolo to meet General Bates, and the sultan afterwards joined him. General Bates states in this con nection that the Sulu are very jealous of their institution of slavery. In hia original instructions to Gen eral Bates, General Otis instructed him to push to the front the question of sov ereignty, and told him he could promise for the United State not to interfere with, bnt to protect, the Moros in the free exercise of their religion and cus toms, social and domestio, and to re spect the rights and dignities of the sultan. In return they must acknow ledge the sovereignty of the United State, i He also instructed General Bate that it was important that the United States should occupy the prin cipal distribution centers of trade, and that Siasai, the capital, should ba oocii pied by our troop at no distant day.
