While the treaty of peace was under con-
sideration In the Senate these commissioners
set out ON their mission of good Will and
liberation. But before their arrival at Ma
Mia the sinister ambition OF a few leaders of
the Filipinos had created situation full of
embarrassment for us and most grevous In
Its consequences to themselves. The clear
and impartial preliminary report OF the COM
missioners, which l transmit herewith, gives
so lucid and comprehensive history of the
present insurrectionary movement that the
story need not be here repeated. IL is enough
to say that the claim OF the rebel leader that
he was promised Independence by any officer
OF the United States In return for his assist
goricaly denied by the very witnesses who
were called to prove IL. The most the In
surgent leader hoped for when he came back
TO Manila was the liberation of the islands
from the Spanish control, which they had
been laboring for years without success to
throw of.
The prompt accomplishment Of this work
by the American army and navy gave him
other ideas and ambitions, and insidious
suggestions from various quarters perverted
had taken up arms. No sooner had our army
captured Manila than the Filipino forces
began to assume an attitude of suspicion
and hostility which the utmost efforts OF
our officers and troops were unable to dis
arm or modify. Their kindness and forbear-
ance were taken as n proof OF cowardice.
The aggresslons OF the Filipinos continually
Increased, until finally, Just before the time
set by the Senate of the United States for
a vote upon the treaty, an attack, evidently
the American lines. which resulted in a ter,
ribly destructive and sanguinary repulse OF
the Insurgents.
