PROPOSED PHILIP.
PINE GOVERNMENT
Partial Home Rule Of
fered the Filipinos.

MANILA, May 22.-P-ofessor Schur'
mann, head of the United States
Philippine commission, today submit
ted the following written proposition
to the Filipinos.
| While final decision as to form OF
government is in the hands OF con-
gress, the president under his military
powers, pending the action of congress.
stands ready to offer the following
form of government: A governor
general to be appointed by the presi-
dent; cabinet to be appointed by the
governor-general; all judges to be ap-
pointed by the president; heads of
departments and judges to be either
Am ericans or Filipinos, or both: also
general advisory council, its members
to be chosen by the people by a form
of suffrage to be hereafter carefully
determined upon; the president earn.
estly desires bloodshed to cease and
the people of the Philippines at an
early date to enjoy the largest meas
ure of self-government compatible
with peace and order.
The commission prepared this
scheme, and the president cabled mis-
approval. The Filipinos have made
no definite proposition except for ces-
sation of hostilities until they can
present the question of peace to the
people. Schurmann told the Filipinos
they had no means of gathering the
people together, as the Americans
control most of the ports. He also re-
minded them of the liberal form of
government offered them, and poin ted
out that it was better than conditions
existing under Spanish rule. Gozaga,
PRESIDENT of the Filipino commission.
admitted the form of government pro-
posed was liberal. Civilian members
of the Philippine commission have
declined to cooperate with the other
members of the commission, as the
former consider Aguinaldo's late de.
mand preposterous, after Otis's re-
fusal of armistice, referring to his
wish for time in order to consult the
Filipino congress.

welfare of Cuba. Cespedes said he
thought Gomez would see President
Mckinley if something was not done
immediately. Cespedes is going to
America on Thursday on personal bus
mess and Gomez nay accompany Eim.
There is no information at Vedado in
regard to the much discussed decree.
General Gomez is fast losing prestige
with his army, aud the anti-GOmez
leaders are taking every opportunity
to increase the feeling of bitterness.
Cuban officers were forced into ac-
cepting the last agreement between
Generals Brooke and Gomez to disarm
quietly and hand over their arms to
municipal authorities by the strong
fesling of the Cuban people against
further delay and their desire to see
the men go to work. but now it is
probable another hitch has arisen.
They condemn Gomez for ever enter.

States, declaring he has been tool in
the Americans hands.
Quietness prevailing among the old
assemblymen, and strong anti-Ameri-
can element of the Cubans looks sus-
picious. The leaders of the black
element are bitter against American
occupation.

GENERAL LUNA
STILL BELLIGERENT
He Will Delay Peace
Negotiations.

MANILA, May 19.-General Luna i;
reported to be making desperate efforts
to restrain educated Filipinos within
the limits of his self-appointed juris.
diction from communicating with the
Americans, even to arrestiug Enca'
mino and Herrera, two of the most
influential officials coming via San
Isidro today.
This and the removal of the seat of
government to Tarlic, 80 miles north
of San Fernando, may lead to compli.
cations and delay in pacifcation, but
it is generally conceded that further
opposition to American sovereignty is
useless and ridiculous. Neither Cen
eral Luna or General Rio del Pillar
has sufficient force to resist or compel
submission.
General Wheaton has been relieved
of the command of the Second division
for special assignment, and General
Funston has been assigned to his
brigade. A board consisting of Col
onel French, of the Twenty second
infan try, and Major Cabell and Cap
tain Randolph, of the Third artillery,
has been appointed to proceed to
Batavia for the purpose of investigat-
ing European methods of providing
for the health of troops there and to
report on the subject for the benefit
of Americans here.

The woodmen of Oregon Have Taken

| The movement to create a fund to
erect a monument to the memory OF

HORSES IN DEMAND.
North Dakota Buyer Figuring on a Large
Band.

banQs
PENDLEToN, May 21.-Horses. for
several years drug on the market,
have suddenly risen in value, and are
now bringing very good price in the
Eastern Oregon and washington
region. Horsemen say that the in
creased demand is due to the work
being done on the different railroad
systems.
Draft animals have recently been
sold at prices ranging from $l75 to
$225 per span of broken horses, and in
many instances they have received as
much as S75 apiece for unbroken range
horses heavy enough for work.
Quite a number of horsemen who
had allowed their bands to roam the
ranges, uncared for and even un-
branded, have of late gone out and
collected them and placed them on the
market, and found that the. property
they regarded as useless was worth
good money.
In addition to the local demand in
Oregon and Washington, there is con-
siderable inquiry from the East, and
horsebuyers have been here from
Minnesota and the Dakotas. One
buyer from North Dakota is figuring
for several thousand head to be bought
from one man, and it is said that the
price to be paid is in the neighborhoOd
of S25 each

porarily from aggressive action. Thus
he is in position to resume hostilities
at any time. This will defeat any sub
terfuges to gain time, which would
not be the case if the general agreed
to an armistice.
The Filipinos are so deceptive that
the people hesitate to credit with good
faith their latest overtures, but more
attention is now paid to them than to
their previous advances. The Fill
ipinos commission is under ipstruc-
tions from Aguinaldo and the congress
but it is possible that if peace is agreed
upon Generals Luna and Pillar will
continue a guerilla warfare.
