FRAMED AT WASHINGTON.

The Proposal Submitted TO Filipinos
an Ohicial Document,
Washington, May 23-The written
proposition submitted to the Filipinos
yesterday at Manila by the American
commission was framed in Washington
by Secretary Hay II is the intention
to give the FilipinQs, just as the presi-
dent has promised, as large a measure
Of self government as they seem able
to exercise with safety to themselves
and due regard to the welfare of other
nations. Therefore, it is proposed to
allow them to choose their own in
ferior judicial officials to begin with
and perhaps the principle may be ex-
tended II it works we'll in the lower
grades.
While It is not so affirmed at the
department, the present movements of
our troops in the Philippines is gem
orally believed to mark the end of the
active campaign before the wet wealth
er sets in. Macarthur is at San Fer
nando, south of Arayat, where Kobbe
and Lawton are now Joined. This is
the point that has previously been
spoken of as a possible summer base
for the American northern outpost3.
From Bacalor, on the railroad, there is
highway running northeast through
San Fernando, Mexico, Santa Ana and
on to Arayat, on the river. General
Otis dispatch says that the American
army will occupy the cities south and
west. There is no present talk of an
other northern movement. This would
leave a triangle between the railroad
and the river that could be easily held
and protected by the United States
troops during the wet season, even
though the insurgents were in much
greater force than they are reported,
and though they were inclined to be
aggressive, which the reports indicate
they are not.
Lawton turning his march to the
north and proceeding down the Rio
Grnnde is the natural result of his fall
ure to get in behind the insurgents at
San Isidro and crush them at a blow,
according to program. Lawton's
march was through rough and little
Travelled country toward the foot of
the eastern mountain ranges. 1t was
hard journey, and the insurgents
slipped away before they could be
hemmed IN between Lawton and Kobbe
and MacArthur's columns.
The reported dissolution of the in
surgent forces, which are said to be in
bad condition at the Arlace, and the
statement in General Otis dispatch
that he had again denied Aguinaldo's
request for an armistice, are taken to
indicate that there is some likelihood
that the commissions offer of a form
of government may be speedily Re=
cepted.

VIII BE the Most Important Ever
Held in This Country.
York, Pa, May 22.-The most i'm
portant session of the general synod
of the Evangelical Lutheran church
ever held in the United States will con-
vene in this city on Wednesday even
ing. Three hundred delegates will be
present and the session will be marked
by unusual features. One of these
features will be the presence of an un-
precedented number of fraternal dele
gates. The general council of the
Luthern church of the United States,
a split from the general synod, will
be represented by Rev. DR.. Speiss, of
the Broad Street church, Philadelphia
This will be the first time that body
has been represented in the general
synod since its secession in 1857. The
united synod of the south, which was
formed by detection from the gem
eral synod during the civil war, will
also send fraternal delegates.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Our Ambassador to Berlin Declares
the Outlook Promising.
MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION.

Thinks the Conference May Arrive at
Some Conclusion, Though Not OBJ
ligatory-Hopes to at Least Humen-
ize warfare.
The Hague, May 23.-Andrew d.
White, the United States ambassador
at Berlin and head of the American
delegation to the peace conference, in
an interview here with a press repre-
sentative said he regarded the situa-
tion as promising, and that the first
work of the organization was we'll
done. He said:
81 am hopeful that it will be posi-
BILE to reach practical conclusions.
The sceptisism of the first few days
must yield to serious hopes without at
the same time indulging in exagger-
ated expectations. The words Of EN-
peror William have contributed to
improve the situation.
81 think we may arrive at some re-
suit on the subject Of mediation and
arbitration. Although 1t is undoubt-
edly impossible to make such a con-
nection obligatory, 1t can be rendered
at least optional, and 1 believe that
after the conference the powers will
recognize that they have at their dis
posal a means of regulating their diff
ferences otherwise than at war. That
will be an immense advance.
81 am also confident that important
improvements are achievable in the
laws and usages of war, to humanize
war, especially in extending to naval
battles the Geneva convention of 1864
and in increasing the protection of
private property in naval wars. Rela-
tive to the reduction of armaments, l
am not in a position to speak on the
subject"
Other ambassadors who are dele
gates to the conference were also in
terviewed and expressed similar views
They said they we're most hopeful that
the deliberations of the conference
would result in the adoption of prac-
tical recommendations tending to-
humane. All were dominated by a
sense Of immense responsibility to
achieve something, especially in the
direction of arbitration.
The delegates were unanimously of
the opinion that the question of the
reduction Of ornaments would be the
mObI ulHlCulL TO meet ana Iney De-
lieved II would be relegated to the
rear of the other two features, espec-
tally since the special object of the
conference is now acknowledged to be
an endeaYor to establish means for
the solving Of international difficult
ties without recourse to war, thus in
creasing the rarity of wars and, as a
natural consequence, leading to the
reduction Of ornaments.
After an active exchange of views
the chiefs of the various delegations
arrived last evening at an agreement
regarding the selection of the presi-
dents of the various committees. This
agreement was communicated to the
delegates, who had been summoned
to meet in plenary session at noon to-
day for the sole purpose of formally
confirming the agreement.

A CHANCE FOR FILIPTNOS
Liberal Government offered TO
Aguinaldo's Followers.
THEY MAKE NO PROPOSITION

Except For Cessation OF nostilities,
which Cannot Be Granted-omcials
at Washington Believe our Govern
ment's Terms WIN he Accepted.
Manila. May 23.-ProL Schurman,
head OF the United States Philippine
commission. has submitted the follow
ing written propositions to the Fill
pinos:
While the final decision as to the
form Of government is in the hands OF
congress, 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 president, a cabinet to be ap-
pointed by the governor general, all the
principal judges to be appointed by the
president the heads OF departments and
judges to be appointed by the presi-
dent, the heads of departments and
judges to be either Americans or Fill
pinos or both, and also a general ad-
yisory council, its members to be
chosen by the people by form Of suf-
frage to be hereafter carefully de-
termined upon.
Inc flllplOOS nave ulaue no Oeunlle
proposition, except for a cessation Of
hostilities, until they can present the
question Of peace to the people Prof.
SchurmaD told the Filipinos they had
no means of gathering the people to-
gether, as the Americans control most
of the ports. He also reminded them
| that liberal form of government was
offered them, and pointed out that it
was better than the conditions exist
| ing under Spanish rule.
Gozaga, president of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing could
be worse than Spanish rule, and ad-
mitted that the form of government
proposed was liberal.
The civilian members of the Filipino
commission have declined to cooper
ate with the other members of that
commission, as the former consider
Aguinaldo's latest demand to be pre-
posterous, after Major General Otis
refusal of an armistice, referring to his
wish for time in order to consult the
| Filipino congress.
