ESTABLISH HOME RULE.
Work Will Be Continued By Peace
Commissioners In Philippines.


New York, July "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
departure of President Schurman, of
the Philippine commission, will leave
at Manila three members of the COM
mission-Maj0r General Otis, Professor
Worcester and Colonel DENLY. It will
be the duty of the last two named. to
continue the work of establishing home
rule within the lines held by the
United States troops, in the hope that
the example will be followed by Fill
pinos outside of the lines, and show
them the beneficient purposes of this
government. Professor Worcester and
Colonel DENLY will also aid General
Otis in the conduct of any peace negO-
tiations which may follow future op-
erations of the American troops.
Mr.. Schurman's dispatch is on the
whole, very encouraging and the au-
thorities are very much gratified at
the conditions he reports having found
at the points visited. 1t is evident from
what the officials say that Mr.. Schur-
man believes the suppression of Aguin-
aldo's insurrection means the eSta bliSh-
ment of peace throughout the archipel-
ago. He is confident that many of the
people throughout the southern islands
do not openly express themselves in
favor of an American protectorate sole
~ because of their fear of Aguinaido
and his Tagal army.
Mr.. Schurman speaks well of the sui
tan of Sulu, and it is evident that he
feels that there is no danger of trouble
from him in case the United States OBJ
serves the treaties which existed be-
tween him and the Spanish govern
ment Mr. Schurman makes a number
of recommendations regarding home
rule for some of the southern islands
and that they will probably be adopted
by the president.
The conditions in Negros were found
to be of a highly satisfactory character
by Mr.. Schurman and home rule will
be given Immediately to
the people of that island, although some |
were necessary before il /

RELEASE SPANISH PRISONERS
FILIPINoS GIVE UP THOSE CAP
TURED AT BALER.
Story of How the Captain Wanted to
Surrender and Was Assassinated
By Lieutenant.

Manila, July THE Spanish commits
sioners who went to Tarlac for a con-
ference with Aguinaldo regarding the
surrender of the Spanish prisoners in
the hands of the Filipinos returned
here last night.
Chairman Del Rio of the commission
said the release OF all the prisoners had
been practically arranged for. but il
would be necessary to consult the Span
ish government before the agreement
could be ratified. He declined to give
the terms of the arrangement or to say
whether these contemplated a ransom
He asserted. however, that Aguinaldo
had already issued decree for the re-
lease of the civilian officials and the
sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the remnant
of the Spanish garrison of Baler. on the
east coast of LuZon, and a number of
civilian prisoners, were escorted by Fill
pino soldiers from Tarlac TO the Amer
lean outposts at San Fernando, and
came to Manila by the night train.
The heroes of the long defense of
Baler, where the Spaniards resisted an
insurgent siege for more than a year,
formed picturesque band. Lieutenant
Martin, the only surviving officer.
marched them through the streets.
There were only twenty-five, and most
of them were mere boys in faded blue
cotton uniforms and red shirts They
are barefooted. A crowd of Spanish
men and women embraced them, weep
ing and shouting their praises. They
tell remarkable story.
1t appears that the captain several
times proposed to surrender but the
soldiers refused. Finally, some months
ago, he tried to raise white flag
Lieutenant Martin killed
him with his own sword.
Their food supply gave out entirely a
week ago, and they surrendered to the
Filipinos with all the honors of war.
They were allowed to keep their arms,
and they say they marched from Baler
with Filipino escort and carrying
guns, through several insurgent camps.
