to the wishes of the United States.
8. Coaling stations for the United States

pino government.
g. The Introduction of the American po-

z. The establishment of judiciary as
now exists in the island Of Cuba.
s. The reconstruction of the entire Fill
Pine government upon lines as nearly con-
sistent with those prescribed by the con-
stitution Of the United States and adapted

g. Recognition of the Filipino govern
ment as an Independent republic under a
protectorate of the United States.

points, in order to reach an agreement
