Philippine Commission has arrived
provincial government for this pro’
vince, which. until recently, was con
trolled by the insurgents the lunar»
gent colonel Morals is still operating
with his hand of three hundred men in
a portion of’thc province. Neverthe
less. sentiments of peace and sstisfncv
tion with American sovereignty appear
to be as prevalent here as in the pro
vlnces in which governments havn
been previously organized. The party
arrived here in army wagons and us-
tive carts. and were driven to the mil-
itary headquarters. As many natives
as could be crowded into the hull were
present. The president of the town
welcomed the commissioners. declar-
ing that the people of the province.
which had been watered with the
blood of Americans and Filipinos, oar~
nostly hoped for the obliteration of
the marks of war and for theestsb
lishment of a peaceful government
guaranteeing personal liberty. .
Judge Taft responded He said he
rejoiced at the fact that the people of
the province of Bulacan no longcr mis-
understood the objects of the Ameri-
can government which were solely to
secure for the people the blessings of
civil liberty and to develop their self
governing capacity.
During the afternoon there will be
a big meeting in the chapel and the.
bill applying the provincial act to Bul
scan will be publicly discussed.
