LIBERAL OFFER TO AaulNALpo
Remarkable Terms which tho Chisf Of

New York. Sept. iS.-A special to
Your correspondent is able to say on
authority that the Schurman peace
commission offered every inducement
short Of absolute sell. government TO
Aguinaldo and his followers. Agui-
naldo was promised as the price for the
restoration Of peace in the Tagal tribe
bonus OF more than $4,000 a year
while the Tagals remained peaceful.
He was told that he could choose men
from his own tribe for the minor mu-
nicipal Offices. The commission went
so far as to promise Aguinaldo tho
moral support of the United States gov
eminent, il such were needed, to make
his leadership Of the Tagals thoroughly
secure.
With all these inducements. tempt
ing as they must have been. Aguinal-
do, as the recognized head OF the insur-
gent movement, declined to yield. He
! insisted upon immediate self-govern-
ment, and as his insistance was so firm
az to make an agreement impossible,
the American commissioners ceased ne.
gotiations.
President Schurman was frank IA
telling your correspondent day or -
ago that he favored giving to the various
tribes the largest possible measure OF
home rule at the earliest moment. He
thought the several tribes could admin
ister their local affairs. elect their
municipal officers. establish courts and
penal institutions, ETC., but did not
believe il possible TO allow ths natives
TO participate in the general govern
ment.
"How could they govern the islands,
in view Of the hetrogSnity and multi
plicity Of the tribes?" he added.

eminently Of the negative and incon-
elusive" character. which Mr.. Cham
berlain declared would compel the i'm
perial government to consider the situ-

suzerainty. reverts to the seven-year

negative and defiant. The full text

but it will not change the aspect of
affairs. The cabinet will probably
meet on Wednesday or Thursday to
