Philippine Commission States
America’s Purpose.
MANY REFORMS ARE, PROMISED.
An Enlightened System of Govern-
ment. Liberal 1101110 Rule, Civil
and Religious Privileges and
the Estublislunent of Justice.
MANILA, April 5.—The United States
Philippine commission promulgated a
proclamation to the people of the is-
lands yesterday. The p1oclamation is
divided into ten paragiaphs, containing
in all 1, 500 1 ords. The fist paragraph
decla1es that a historical treaty has
the sovereignty of the Philippines com—
plete and indefeasible, the second ex—
plains the appointment of the commis-
Sion and the third assures the people of
the American government’s good will
and explains the government’s aim for
the prosperity and happiness of the
Philippine people and their advance-
ment with the most civilized peoples.
The fourth paragraph declares that
President McKinley believes that their
advancement is possible by the assur-
ance- of peace and order. It guarantees
civil and religious liberty, the estab-
lishment of justice, the cultivation of
letters, practical arts and intercourse
with foreign nations, and finally, by un-
interrupted pursuit of useful objects,
the realization of the noble ideals con-
stituting civilization.
The fifth paragraph says that unfor-
tunately the pure aims of the Ameri-
cans have been misinterpreted by the
inhabitants of certain of the islands.
The sixth asks why there are any hos-
tilities on the part of the Filipinos and
also asks what the Filipinos desire. The
commission asserts that the United
States are willing and anxious to estab-
shv'an enlightened system of govern-
ient by which the people may enjoy
he greatest measure of home rule and
‘the most ample liberty consonant with
thé'aims of the government and com-
patible with the obligations which the
United States government assumes to-
ward the civilized nations. .
The commission declares in the sev-
enth paragraph that the United States
government stands ready to furnish ar-
mies and navies to maintain its rightful
supremacy over the islands, so that it
is even more solicitous to spread peace
and protection among the Filipinos, ac-
eustoming them to self government.
The eighth paragraph says that it is
the expectation of the commission to
visit the people in their respective prov-
inces, learning the forms of government
best adapted to their customs and tra-
ditions. The policy of the commission
will be to consult the wishes and seizure
the advice and co-operatibn of the F11-
ipinos. -
In the meantime attention is invited
to the regulative principles guiding the
United States supremacy, which must
and will be enforced in every part of
the archipelago. Those resisting can
accomplish only their own ruin. The
most ample liberty of self government
will be granted which is reconcilable
with the maintenance of the wise, just,
effective and economical administration
of public affairs compatible with the
.sovereign and international rights of
the United States. The civil rights of
the Filipinos are guaranteed and will
be protected, and religious freedom is
assured, and an honest and effective
civil service is guaranteed to the fullest
extent. Natives will be employed, '31

A re-

established, coriecti‘ng the evils which

schools esta- )lished.
Refo1 ms a1e piomised in all of the in-
stitutions touching the common life of
the people. Such, the commission de-
clares, is the spirit in which the United
States government comes to the Fili-
pinos. The commission invites the .per-
sonal acquaintance and exchange of
views with the leading representative
'men.
While arranging the proclamation the
commissioners carefully reviewed the
Malolos constitution of the Filipinos,
giving special attention to specific evils.
The belief is spreading among the
residents here that the effect of the cap-
ture of Malolos, thezformer rebel capi-
tal, followed by the proclamation of the
United States Philippine commission,
will be to convince the natives that
Aguinaldo’s bubble has burst.
Dr. Schurman,. president of the coma
mission, said: “The Filipinos have been
asking unceasingly, ‘What do you pro-
pose to do for us?’ The proclamation
answers the question, and it should sat-
isfy them. ”
Colonel Charles Denby, member of
the commission and former minister to
China, remarked: “It is the most im-
portant proclamation since the Declara-
tion of Independence. Spanish, Tagal-
man and English versions have been
printed and it is proposed to circulate
them about Malolos and at all the sea.
