President Sends All the Correspondents
to the .Senate.
I
Washington, Feb. 5.—In compliance
with a resolution of inquiry, the presi­
dent has sent to the senate a copy of
the report and all accompanying papers
of Brigadier-General J. C. Bate«, in
relation to the negotiation of a treaty
of agreement made by him with the
' sultan of Sulu, last August. In reply-
' ing to the request the president says:
“The payments of money required by
the agreement will be made from the
revenues of the Philippine island^, un­
less congress shall direct otherwise.
Such payments are not for specific ser­
vices, but are a part of the considera­
tion going to the sultan, tribe or nation
under the agreement, and they are
stipulated as subject to the action of
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 of these people has
been a subject of apprehension for sev­
eral months, and by this agreement, I
believe, the apprehended pending dif­
ferences are happily adjusted.”
Secretary Root, in a reply dated
October 27, tells General Otis that
“the agreemnet is confirmed an»i ap­
proved by the president, subject to the
action of congress, and with the under­
standing and reservation, which should
lie distinctly communicated to the sul­
tan of Sulu, that this agreement is not
to be deemed in any way to authorize
or give consent of the United States tc
the existence of slavery in the Sulu
archipelago. At the same time when
you communicate to the sultan the
above mentioned understanding, the
president desires that you should make
inquiry as 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 save:
“It is believed that the market price
of slaves in the archipelago is insigni­
ficant, ranging from $30 to $90, Mexi­
can, and that in some instances own­
ers will be pleased to grant freedom to
their slaves if they can escape the
burden of supporting them.
General Otis continues to the effect
that the character of the domestic slav­
ery existing in the archipelago differs
greatly from the former slavery institu­
tion of 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 his greetings, say­
ing he could not come to the general, be­
cause he had boils on his neck, ami could
not put on his coat, but that he would
recognize the protection of the United
States, requesting as a favor that he
might hoist his own flag alongside that
of the United States.
The sultan’a
brother went to Jolo to meet General
Bates, and the sultan afterwards joined
him. General Bates states in this con­
nection that the Sulus are very jealous
of their institution of slavery.
In his original instructions to Gen­
eral Bates, General Otis instructed him
to push to the trout the question of sov­
ereignty, and told him he could promise
for the Unite» I States not to interfere
with, but to protect, the Moros in the
free exercise of their religion and cus­
toms, social anil domestic, and to re­
spect the rights and dignities of the
sultan. In return they must acknow­
ledge the sovereignty of' the United
States. He also instructed General
Bates that it was important that the
United States should occupy the prin­
cipal distribution centers of trade, and
that Siassi, the capital, should be occu­
pied by our troops at no distant day.
