ALL OVER THE NOlRLD.
HOME RULE FOR FILIPlNOs.

Procla M. tlon Put Fort', by President
I sIcKinley.
Washington dispatch: President Nc
Kinley's proclamation setting forth
the condit lions under which the United
States takes possession OF the Philip
pines was cabled to General Otis for
PRONUNCIATION. This was done several
days ago, and it is assumed that Cen
eral Otis has already published 1t and
taken steps to give it the widest pos
sible circulation throughout the
islands. The proclamation is about
1000 words in length, and was cabled
to Manila at an expense Of $1,000. It
is modelled on the one issued by Gem
eral Shafter at Santiago when this
government took possession of that
city and province, but has been much
amplified. Home rule. unoer the
supreme direction OF the United States,
is the proclamation to be given TO the
Filipinos in the fullest sense. 1t
promises that they will be accorded a
voice in the local government, and
that the Filipinos shall be eligible to
official positions. They will be given
fair judiciary, freedom of speech and
Of the press. The proclamation shows
that the military occupation Of the
islands is not for the purpose OF max
ing war upon the inhabitants nor up-
on any party or faction among them,
but to protect them in their homes, IN
their employments and in their per-
sonal and religious rights. The man
ner Of the treatment of the property
and the collection and administration
of the revenues in accordance with the
open door policy set forth in the
treaty, is fully and plainly stated.
