committed his first deed. he ssshed his sister on
the face and bosom. wounding her fearfuliy. The
father OF the unfortunate family attracted by
her cries and grabbing a rife, hastened TO tho

PHILIPPINE FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
NATIVES TO HAVE THE LARGEST MEASURE
OF HOME RULE COMPATIBLE
G

WITH SAtEl1.
Washington. Nav 22.-The written proposition
submitted to the Filipinos to-day at Manila oy
the American Commission was framed In WASH
ington by Secretary Hay. The only error IN the
printed report of it's contents Is the OMISSION
OF the qualification "principal' In the statement
of the judges to be appointed by the President
It is the intention to give the Filipinos as laree
a measure of government as they seem able
N exercise with safety TO themselves and due
regard to the welfare Of other nations. Ihere-
fore II is proposed to allow them to choose their
own inferior judicial officials to begin with, ana
perhaps the principle may be EXTENDED II II
works well in the lower grades.
The plan is the outgrowth Of numerous caole
and mail exchanges between President Schur-
man of the Philippine Commission and Secre-
tary Hay as we'll as advices from General otis
and Admiral Dewey. The proposition TO nave
a Governor General and Cabinet appointed py
the President Is substantially the same as the
system now in operation In CUBA Like .ho
Cuban system, the administration would De mill
tary in character, for the present at least whiie
conditions are unsettled. The autnorlues mere

Porto Rico Il will be for Congress 10 estapilsh
the permanent form of government for the
Islands 1t was understood when General Law"
ton went to Manila that General OTIS wouio pe-
come Governor General, while General La"toh
assumed active direction of military AFFAIRS IL
IS not improbable that this plan will be carried
out If the Fflipinos accept the form OF govern
ment proposed, thus making General GUS tne
first Governor General, with General LaWloh
and General Macarthur occupying Iosltlons siil-
liar ~ those OF Generals Ludlow and Wood III
Cuba The proposed advisory council is also
similar to that in Cuba, where Governor-1en7,
eral Brooke has the advice OF a native counc,I s
as well as that of the military officers under
him. The main idea Of the system proposed IN
the Philippines is to carry out the assurances
given i'm the proclamation issued some time ago,
To maintain the sovereignty Of the United
states over the island and at the same tune
give the natives the largest measure or nome
rule . g.
President Schurman did not report TO secre-
tary Hay to-day hence 1t Is assumed that tne
