PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.
President Schurman Makes a
Report.
NATIVES NOT WANT TO fight
However, They Will Do So IL Forced to
ie--inconvenience OF the
Rainy Season.

MANILA, July 2.-6.25 p. NJ
sProf. ]. G. Schurman, Of the United
States advisory commission for the
Philippines returned to Manila to-
sday from three weeks tour OF the
southern islands. He takes an en-
stirely hopeful view Of the general
condition there. The Intelligent and
substantial citizens desire an Ameri-
can protectorate. The masses are
the settlement of the war
ia the island of Luzon before declar-
sfng themselves. They are chiefly
anxious to be undisturbed. The
g president of the town of Santo Nico-
las, in the Island of Cebu, said to
EMr. Schurman: I'VE want peace,
Hood and prosperity. We do not
wish to fight. We would be neu-
trai.'
The president of the commission
thinks this fairly expresses the senti-
nent of the people in the southern
sislands of the archipelago. Many OF
Sthe towns there are in the hands of
small bands of Tagalos, and the peo-
& ple fear to endorse American rule
unless they are certain Aguinaldo
& must be beaten. Let them be once
Scanyinced of this, and the allegiance
&osthe southern islands, Mr.. Schur-
$unan thinks. caf, be secured by
Diplomacy.
The; United States gunboat Ben
q nineton took Mr.. Schurman to
! Mindanao and the islands of the
SSulu and Visayan groups. He
3 travelled through the Island OF Ne
! s,pros with Col. Smith and party OF
natives. In several of the principal
k1towns he was rendered banquets,
and he had an hours conference
with the young, Sultan of Sulu, who
1eceised him in the royal audience
chamber, surrounded by a hody
guard of fierce looking Moros.
& Mr.. Sehurman told the Sultan that
sfs Unised States had acquired the
ssoyereignty of the Philippines from
Spain, but had no wish to subjugate
thxpopulation, nor to interfere with
assir customs or religion. On the
:sontrary, the greatest desire OF the
American Government was to help
tie people of the islands to develop
their country.
