With the Terms Offered by the
Americans
DELEGATES ARE PRESENT
At a Conference That Is Being Held
In Mauila--What Their Chief
Objections Are

Manila, May 23.-The Filipino COM
missioners spent the day at the residence
of the American commissioners. They
discussed every point of the scheme of
government and peace proclamation de-
tails asking for information as to what
personal rights would be guaranteed
them. 1t was explained that they would
be the same as under United States legis-
lation. The Filipinos also desired infor-
nation as to the school system to be es-
tablished and approved of the American
policy of separation of church and state.
They chiefly objected to the scheme on the
ground that it gave them personal liberty
which they knew they would have, but
did not give them present liberty. Final
ly the Filipinos said they were personally
pleased with the plan but could not en-
dOrse it officially.
