Gen. Wade made brief reply. and
Immediately turned the island over to
Gen. Brooke. the military governor.
Then took place the event which
must have cut like knife into the
heart of every Spaniard who witnessed
the ceremony. The Spanish flag,
which for over 400 years had waved
from the palace, was lowered. At the
same instant the yellow and red ban
ers on the famous and infamous Ca
banas fortress and Moro castle came
down forever. AS the Spanish flag
was lowered 1t was replaced by the
stars and stripes, and as the latter
hoated to the breeze it was saluted
with 81 guns
After the American flag had been
hoisted the bands played the American
national hymn and this was greeted
with tremendous cheering by the

WANT SELF-GOVERNMENT.

The Commission Has Finished Its Work
~ at San Juan.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press
San Juan de Porto Rico. March 90
The insular commission has just COM
pleted its preliminary Investigation in
San Juan and has departed for the
western portion of the island. 1t Is
learned from reliable sources that in
general the arguments before the COM
mission have been in favor of the early
termination of the military govern
ment and the adoption of the territorial
law for the island.
Every Porto Rican. almost. will con-
cede that the United States should APP
point an American governor and should
sustain a strong garrison in the island,
but they demand that all OF the civil
officers under the governor should be
Porto Ricans, and above all, that a
Porto Rican legislature should be es-
tablished for insular affairs and that
municipalities should have the right
of local self-government.
A great deal of argument has been
made before the commission for the rec
ommendation of free trade with the
United States. The people of Porto
Rico claim that unless the sugar of this
island is admitted free in the United
States no prosperity can be had there.
The commission visited, Arecibo. Ca
maguy and Aguidalla before arriving
at Mayaguez, at which latter place
they remained two days and then re-
sumed their journey to Ponce by way
of San German and Yauco. At Ponce
they remain three days, returning to
San Juan the last of the month.
They will hold sessions in San Juan
and then return TO the States.

MAY EMPLOY NATIVES
If There Is Guerilla Warfare in
the Philippines.
A MOST DESERVED REST
MecArthur's Advance Has Reached It's
Objective Point-A List OF the
Montana Men Wounded
in the Fights.

Washington, March 31.-A short
rest will determine whether the
Filipinos intend to keep up a guer-
rilla warfare, and if so plan is al
ready maturing to meet any such condi-
ton. Natives will be employed to fight
the guerrillas, and as the government
can give them better pay and afford
them greater protection than Aguinaldo,
there is no doubt about the ability to
employ natives in this way. If there
must be guerrilla fighting during the
rainy season, which will soon be upon
the Philippines, the Americans will not
sacrifice their troops in such { warfare if
natives can be obtained. The scene of
action around Manila has shifted ma
terially within the last "a hours Mac
Arthur's advance forward, which has
been pushing northward, has reached its
objective point-Malolos. II is now en-
joying there a most deserved rest.
Meantime a new field of activity ap-
pears to the east of Manila, where Cen
eral Robert Halls brigade, made up
entirely of regulars, has thus far been
held as a reserve.
General Otis dispatch, received early
this morning, referred for the first time
to the fighting done by Halls brigade,
saying severe engagement had oc-
CURED beyond Mariquina. This is about
10 miles due east of Manila and entirely
outside of the range of fighting of Mac
Arthur's division. On the military map
it is shown that he advanced fully 10
miles up ito Montalban. According to
General Otis dispatch, received at a.
m. to-day, Hall has now retraced this
stretch of 10 miles and is back at Mari
quina.
Halls brigade, which has been doing
the fighting east of Manila, is made up
of the Sd, 4th and two battalions of the
18th infantry. Further indications that
the rebels are east of Manila is shown
in the brief report that General Kings
brigade has been moved out from San
Pedro Macati to Pasig. This is the first
move of any of the troops south of the
Pasig river. They form division under
Major General Lawton, who has the
brigades of Generals King and Oven
shine. Kings brigade includes the list
North Dakota, LIST Washington and a
battalion of the LIST Colorado. Oven
shines brigade includes the 14th infant
~ the list Idaho and squadron of the
LIST cavalry.
The movements east and south of
Manila are accepted at the war depart
ment as showing that General Otis does
not propose to allow the rebels to press
in from these quarters while General
Macarthur is executing the main move
ment far to the north.

VOLUNTEERS WILL STAY.
1t Will Not BE Necessary to Organize the
Provisional Army.

Washington, March 31.-It was stated at
the war department to-day that the pro-
vision of the army law allowing the reten-
ton in service for six months of the vol
unteers in the Philippines had been con-
strued to mean the officers as well as the
men, and that the volunteer organizations
would be retained just as they now eX-
list
General Otis was given large plenary
powers in the matter, but was instructed
by cable to send all sick and wounded
home as well as volunteers who had ex-
ceptiondf reasons why they should return
home, such as the support of families and
the loss of property by reason of their alb
sence. General Otis will decide such
questions on their merits. The volunteers
in the Philippines will not be mustered
out until they can be spared and the
presence there of these organizations. the
department believes, makes 1t unnecessary
to organize the provisional army of 35-
900 allowed under the army law.
