ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Manila, May 23.-The Filipino COM
missioners spent the day at the palace
with the American commissioners. They
discussed every point of the scheme of
government and the peace proclamation
details, asking for information as TO what
personal rights would be guaranteed them.
1t was explained that they would be the
same as under United States legislation.
The Filipinos also desired information
as to the school system to be established
and approved of the American policy of
the separation of church and state. They
chiefly objected to the scheme ON the
ground that it gave them personal liberty
which they knew they would have, but
did not give them present liberty.
Finally, the Filipinos said they were
perfectly pleased with the plan, but could
not endorse it officially.

more than 800 yards away, ACCORDING
to the best estimates, there are 5rS

mean, particularly when you take intS

About three weeks ago the Amer.

that there is no such thing as friend

tended for women and chii1ren. and all
others who pretended to be loyafto the
American forces. But as soon as they
got it, they carried it to their soldiers,
so they could be in better trim to fight
against US.

to date, as given out here, is 664 killed
