PHIUPPlNdfifJSLANDS.
On July 4 last, drx th? one hundred
and twenty-sixth anniversary of tfe?.|
declaration of our independence, peace
and amnesty Were promulgated in thR
Philippine Islands. Some trouble bus
since from time to time threatened
with the Mohammedan Moron, but
with the late insurrectionary Filipinos

-enjoy such-rights to life; liberty, and
the pursuit .of happiness as he has
never before known during the ro
corded history of the islands, but the
people taken as a whole now enjoy a
measure of self-government greater
than (hat granted to any other
Orientals by any foreign power and
greater than that enjoyed by any
other Orientals under their own sofi
crnments, save the Japanese alalia.
We have not gone too faY in granting
these rights of liberty and self -govern
ment; but we liave certainly gone ta
the limit thai in 'the Interests of the
Philippine people themselves it was
wise or just to go. To tvbrry matters',
to go f astfr than we ajre how going,
would entail calamity on' tb^ people

than the policy of holding the Philip

all the tr^unpb of our* laws .and prin

any ' ; right to expect, m much
praise can not be given to the
Army for what it has done in the
Philippines both in warfare and
from an administrative titepdpoln':

clvtl^nthorltleB for the way in which
they nave planted the ^ seeds of self

ready "for them. The courage, the un
flinching endurance, the high soldierly
efficiency, and the general kind-heart
edness and humanity of our troops
have been strikingly manifested. There ,
now remain only some flfteeb^housand/j
troops in the islands. All toftt,vfiy?r

there. Of. course, there have been indl

them. They warred wider fearful olflfl
