The Proclamation Issued by the American Commission at Manila. NATIVES PROMISED HOME RULE Filipinos Informed of the Objects of the United Stales Government in Assaming sovereignty?No Ileal Conflict With Their Rights and Liberties^Our Dec laratlon of Intentions. Manila. (By Cable).?A. proclamation was issued by tho United States Philippine Commission. Tho preamble recites the cossion by the Peace Treaty of the Philippine Islands to the United 8tates, refers tc the appointment of the Commission, as3uros the people of the cordial good-will and fraternal feeling of the Presiden' - * *u ~ tt ?!ohtf jo arwl fhrt A mflri )L L LiO l/uuoii ovmoo HUM can people, and asserts that the cbjeci of the UjiteJ States Government apart from the fulfilment of Its solemn obligations assumed toward the family of nntlons by the acceptanea of the sovoreignty over tlie Islands, is the well being, prosperity and happiness of the Filipino people, and their elevation and advancement to a position among the most civilized peoples of the world. Continuing, the proclamation says: "The President believes this felicity and perfection of the Filipino people will b? brought about by the cultivation of letters, science, and the liberal and practical arts, by the enlargement of Intercourse with foreign nations, the expansion of industrial pursuits by trade and commerce, by the multiplication ami improvement of rnrans of Internal communication, and by the development of the great natural resources of the archipelago, "Unfortunately these pure aims and purposes of the American Government anil people have been misinterpreted to some of the inhabitants of certain islands, and, iu consequence, the friendly American forces, without provocation or cause, have been openly attacked. Why these hostilities? What do the best Filipinos desire? Can it be more than the United States la ready to give? They say that they are patriots and want liberty. The Commission emphatically asserts that it is willing and anxious to establish an enlightened Bvstem of Government, under which the | people may enjoy the largest measure ol I home rule and the amplest liberty con* sonant with the supreme ends or the Gov- I ernment, and compatlole with those ob- j ligations which the United States has as- j sumed towards the civilized nations of the ! world." The proclamation then says there can be | ao real conflict between American sov- j erelgnty and the rights and liberties of the Filipinos; for America is ready to furnish armies and navies and all the infinite resources of a great and powerful nation to maintain its rightful supremacy over the Islands, so it i9 even more solicitous to spread peace and happiness among the people and guarantee them rightful freedom, to protect tbelr just privileges and Immunities, to accustom them to free selfgovernment In an ever-increasing meaa. ure, and to entourage those democratic nspiratlons. sentiments, and ideals whicb are the promise and potency of fruitful national development. The proclamation announces that the Commission will visit the Philippine provinces to (ascertain the enlightened native opinion as to the forms of Government adapted to the people, conformable with their traditions and ideals, invites the leading representative men to meet the Commission, and declares that the policy of the United States, In the establishment and maintenance of tbe Government, is to consult the wishes and secure the advice ?nd co-operation of the people. The proclamation contains eleven ortcles, declaring America's intentions, a? follows: 1. Tlie supremacy or the United States must and will be enforced throughout every part of the archipolago, and those who resist can accomplish nothing except theii own ruin. 2. The amplest liberty of self-government will be granted which is reconcilable with the just, stable, effective and economical administration, and compatible with the sovereign rights and obligations, of th< United States. 3. The civil rights of the Filipinos will be guaranteed and protected, their religious freedom will be assured, and all will have equal standing before the law. 4. Honor, justice, and friendship forbid ;he exploitation of the people of the islands. The purpose of the American Government is the welfare and advancement of the Philippine people: 5. Guarantees uu honest and effective iivil service, in whlob, to the fullest extent practicable, natives shall be employed. 6. The collection and application ol taxes'and other revenues will be put upon a sound, honest, and economical basis. The 1 public funds, raised justly and collected honestly, will be applied only to defraving the proper expenses of the establishment and the maintenance of the Philippine gov- 1 arnment and such general improvements ? ? ?J ?rv> ? T aaaI #nn/la A3 UUUliU 1 illOI OS 13 uouiauu, uv/uiu collected for local purposes shall not be diverted to other ends. With such prudent and honest fiscal administration, It is believed the needs of the Government will in a abort time become compatible with aeonaiderable reduction in taxation. 7. The establishment of a pure, speedy, and effective administration of justice, by which the evils of delay, corruption, and exploitation will be effectually eradicated. 8. The construction of roads, railroads ind other means of communication and transportation, and other public works of manifest advantage to the people will be promoted. 9. Domestic and foreign trade and eotnmero and other industrial pursuits and the general development of the coun? try in the interest of its Inhabitants will be the constant objects of solicitude and fostering care. 10.
