ADDRESS TO THE FILIPINOS
lhe American Commission Tells
Them of the Plans OF the L.
>. and Advises Them to
Lay Down ArmY..

New York, March - The
Journals Manila correspondent
cables today that the address to
the natives of the Philippine Is,
lands, drafted by the American
commission in behalf of the l.. S.
government, and embodying the
views of the president, has been
made public. After being trans
lated into native dialect it is to Le
disseminated throughout the ar
chlpelago. The address assures
the Filipinos of the intention Of
the Americans to develop the pow
ers of self government IN the peo>
pie. 1t explains that the United
States has assumed international
obligations which it must fulfil.
and which make it responsible to
the civilized world for the stable
government of the Filiplnos. The
commission, it is explained, is to
interpret to the natives the pur-
poses and intentions of the Presi>
dent toward them, and also sug>
gest the establishment of such n
government as shall suit the ca,
pacity and requirements of the
Filipinos and be consistent with
the interests of the United States
The protection of tho United
States Is not to be exercised in
any spirit of tyranny or vengeance
but having destroyed the Spanish
power and accepted the sovereign
ty OF the islands, the United States
Is bound to restore peace in the
Philippines. TO this end all in
surgents are invited to lay down
their arms and place their trust
In the government that emanci.
pated them from the oppression
of Spanish rule.
The majority of the commits
sloners incline toward giving the
Flllplnos a sort of tribal or pro-
Vincial autonomy under central
government which shall he mill
tary until purely civil system is
proved to be feasible.

TOOK HIS COMPANION FOR
A WILD TURKEY.
Dreadful Mistake of MIR. w. y.
Griffin in Hampton. Ambrose
Bootle The Victim.
Special to The State.

Hampton, march 22.-Our
community was greatly saddened
this morning when it became
known that on yesterday evening
about dusk our townsman, Dir.
w. L. Griffin, had by mischance
shot and killed Ambrose Bootle
of Brunson. Both men had gone
to the swamp,in search of turkeys.
MIR. Griffin took his position and
never moxed. When MIR. Grif-
FIN called he was swered: be
continued to call and tho answer
was also continued, but shifted in
position from about three hundred
yards to his right until it came
wltnin fifty or sixty yards in front
OF him. 1t was then dusk: he
saw dark object moved as if it
we're a turkey preparing to fly to
its roost. He fired, running to
the spot expecting to get his
turkey. Mr.. Griffin spoke. but
getting no reply he ran to his
horse and came to town at full
speed for help. About thirty of
the citizens went with him. They
found the wounded man and
brought him here where he died
at s O'Clock this morning. Mr..
Bootle was kind, quiet christian
gentleman, though poor, Mr..
Griffin is gentleman of the
highest order and as citizen
there is none better.
Both our town and Brunson
are IN great grief over the sad
affair. The coroner's jury found
verdict Of "mischance. or
absolutely accidental killing.
Mr.. Bootle's remains were car
ried to Colleton county, his old
home, for burial. All expenses
for the funeral were met by Mr..
Griffin.
