PLEASED WITH PLAN.
Personally Filipino ENJOYS Are
Suited with American Scheme.
Are Not Empowered tn Indorse IL ON
cinlIy, However-A Message from
Prof. schurnan ON the
situation.

Manila, May 2i.-The Filipino COM
missioners spent the day at the resi-
dence OF the American commissioners.
They discussed every point of the
scheme of government and the peace
proclamation details, asking for i'm
formation as TO what personal rights
would be guaranteed them.
Col. Charles DENLY. of the American
commission, explained that they would
be the same as under the United States
constitution. The Filipinos also de-
sired information as 10 the school sys-
tenn 10 be established, and approved of
the American policy OF the separation
of church and state. They chiefly OBJ
iected TO the scheme on the ground
that il gave them personal liberty,
which they knew they would have, but
did not give them political liberty.
Finally the Filipinos said they were
personally pleased with the plan, but
could not indorse il officially.
Gen. Otis. from anrc-bellum expert
ence, and owing to the Filipinos' fond
ness for discussion. has maintained the
attitude he assumed with the first com
mission. He has had no offer 10 make
the Filipinos save that they lay down
their arms without terms. The army
believes that if we intend to remain in
the Philippine islands, il will be cheap
er in the long run TO whip the insnr-
gents so thoroughly that they will be
glad OF the opportunity 10 surrender,
rather than TO parlcy with them and
make terms which they would construe
as compromise. The army is also OF
the opinion that while the first course
may cost more men and morS money in
the beginning than the latter, il will
prove an efTectunl damper upon future
nsurrection, whereas. il the war is
ended by compromise, the profession
al reyolutionists among the Tagals may
be encouraged 70 try again in few
years.

affair. He also denied that Captain
Lebrun- Renauld had ever communi.
Gated to him a confession alleged to
have been made by Dreyfus.
Eercier's testimony was mostly o
weary, endless dstense of himself, an
argument of the whole case over again,
without one word of proof against Drey-
fua.
He rehearsed the whole affair from
his own point Of view, but made one of
the two sensational points. The first
was when he says Perier had not told
the whole story of the diplomatic Incl
dent; that he, Mercier, was so certain
that Germany was about to declare war
that he kept Boisdeffre and hundreds of
officers nearly all night at the war Of
fee, ready to concentrate the whole
French army at strategic points.
Perier wiggled in his seat and waved
his hand In objection. The audience
received this with murmurs Of incredu-
hty. Mercier had it that matters were
SO urgent and dangerous that he dared
not openly publish the documents he
held, but sent them privately to the
courtmartial for their inspection.
This statement was received with
loud, contemptuous murmurs. 1t was
his excuse for furnishing the judges
with the secret dossier unknown to the
accused. Oasimir- Perier had cut this
ground from under him and his excuse
had failed. He rallied, however, with
q most sensational statement: ~ know
that General lamont has said that
81, 900, 900 francs were sent from Ger
many to assist the cause Of Dreyfus."
This was unquestionably sensational,
but it was like boulevard canard, SO
feeble in its form if hearsay gossip in
stead of business-like evidence that it
only produces, "ohi OIL ohr" Of con.
tempt and murmurs of derision.
Mercier's discourse was simply long
argument, interrupted by the reading
of many letters. He concluded with
the impressiyely stated conviction that
the court of cessation was wrong; that
