sideration in the Senate these Commits
sioners set out on their mission of good
will and liberation. Their character was
sufficient guaranty of the beneficent
purpose with which they went. even IL
they had not borne the positive instruc-
tions of this Government, which made
their errand pre-eminently one Of peace
and friendship.
But before their arrival at Manila the
sinister ambition of few leaders of the
tilipinos had created a situation full OF
embarrassments for us and most grievous
in It's consequences to themselves The
clear and impartial preliminary report of
the Commissioners, which L transmit
herewith, gives so lucid and comprehen-
sive history of the present insurrection-
airy movement that the story need not be
here repeated. 1t is enough to say that
the claim Of the rebel leader that he was
promised independence by any officer of
the United States IN return for his assist
ance has no foundation in fact and is
categorically denied by the very witnesses
who were called TO prove it, The most
the insurgent leader hoped for when he
came back TO Manila was the liberation
of the islands from the Spanish control.
which they had been laboring for years
without success to throw off
Ihe prompt accomplishment of this
work by the American army and navy
gave him other ideas and ambitions. and
insidious suggestions from various quar-
tiers perverted the purposes and intentions
with which he had taken up arms. No
sooner had our army captured Manila
than the Filipino forces began to assume
an attitude of suspicion and hostility
which the utmost efforts OF our officers
and troops were unable TO disarm or mod
ify. Their kindness and forbearance were
taken as proof of cowardice. The aggres-

The same day while ordering General
Otis TO see that peace should be preserved
In uoilo, he was admonished that 1T Is
most important that there should be no
conflict with the insurgents" On the 1st
day or January, 1899, your geI eral orders
were reiterated that the kindly intentions
or this Government should be in every
possible way communicated TO the insur-
gents.
On the 21st Of January I announced my
intention OF dispatching TO Manila a COM
mission composed OF three gentlemen of
the highest character and distinction,

and Major General Otis, were instructed

Under the authority of the act of Con-
gress approved July T. 1898. the commits
sion. consisting of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, Attorney General and Secre-
tary OF the Interior, has made an agree
ment of Settlement. which has had my
approval, of the Indebtedness to the Gov
ernment growing out of the issue of bonds
to aid in the construction of the Central
Pacific and Western Pacific railroads.
The agreement secures TO the Govern

BARBARoUS REBEL ORDER.

Ten days later an or6-r OF the insur-
gent Government was issued TO It's adher-
ents VINO had remained in Manila, OF
which General Otis justly observes that
Tor barbarous intent IL is unequaled I'm
modern times" II directs that at o'clock
on the night Of the 4th OF February .the
territorial militia shall come together In
the streets OF San Pedro. armed with
their bOlos. with guns and ammunition,
where convenient: that Filipino families
only shall be respected: but that all other
individuals, OF whatever race they may
be. shall be exterminated without any
compassion after the determination OF
the army Of occupation, and adds:
Brothers. we must avenge ourselves on
the Americans and exterminate them,
that we may take our revenge for the In
famies and treacheries which they have
committed upon us. Have no compassion
upon them; attack with vigor.'
a copy OF this fell by good fortune into
the hands OF our officers and they were
able TO take measures TO control the ris-
ing. which was actually attempted on the
night OF February %. week later than
was originally contemplated. A consider
able number OF armed insurgents entered
the city by waterways and swamps and
in concert with confederates inside at
tempted TO destroy Manila by fire. They
were kept in check during the night and
the next day driven out OF the city with
heavy loss.
This was the unhappy condition OF af-
fairs which confronted our Commission
ers on their arrival in Manila. They had
come with the hope and intention OF CO.
operating with Admiral Dewey and Major
General Otis in establishing peace and
order in the archipelago and the largest
measure OF self-government compatible
with the true welfare OF the people. What
they actually found can best be set forth
in their own words:
''Deplorable as war n. the one In which
we are now engaged was unavoidable by
US. We were attacked by a bold adven-
turous and enthusiastic army. No alter
native was left TO US except retreat.
1T is not to be conceived Of that any
American would have sanctioned the sur
render Of Manila TO the insurgents. Our
obligations 10 other nations and TO the
friendly Filipinos and TO ourselves and
our flag demanded that force should be
met by force. Whatever the future OF the
Philippines may be. there Is no course
open to us now except the prosecution OF
the war until the insurgents are reduced
TO submission. The commission Is OF tho
opinion that there has been no time since
the destruction Of the Spanish squadron
by Admiral Dewey when IL was possible
10 withdraw our forces from the islands.

safety to the inhabitants"

On June 80, 1898, there were thirty forest
reservations exclusive of the Afognak
forest and fish culture reserve in Alaskan.
embracing an estimated area of 40 .7l9, ia
acres. During the past year two Of tile
existing forest reserves, the Trabuco
Canyon (California). and Black Hills
(South Dakota and Wyoming) have been
considerably enlarged; the area OF the
Mount Rainier reserve, in the State Gf
Washington, has been somewhat re-
duced, and six additional reserves have
been established. namely, the San Fran
cisco Mountain (Arizona). the Black Mesa
(AriZona), Lake Tahoe California;, 0al-
latin (Montana), Gila River (New
Mexico) and Fish Lake CUtah), the total
estimated area of which is 5,025, ,772 acres.
This makes at the present time total OF
thirty-siX forestry reservations, embrace
ing an estimated area of 46,02l .S99 acres.
This estimated area is the aggregated
areas within the boundaries of the re-
serves. The lands actually reserved are.
however, only the vacant public lands
therein, and these have been set ASIDE

order that they may be of the greatest
use to the people.
Protection OF the national forests. in
augurated by the Department of the In
trior in 1897, has increased during the
past year, and much has been accom-
plshed In the way OF preventing forest
fires and the protection OF the timber.
There are now large tracts covered by
forests which will eventually be reserved
and set apart for forest uses. Until that
can be done Congress should increase the

On the 10th of December, 1898, the treaty
of peace between the United States and
Spain was signed. 1t provided. among
other things, that Spain should cede to
the United States the archipelago known
as the Philippine Islands; that the United
States should pay to Spain the sum of
$50 900 .000 and that the civil rights and
political status OF the native inhabitants
of the territories thus ceded to the United
States should be determined by Con-
gress The treaty was ratified by the
Senate on the 9Th of February, 1899. and
by the Government of Spain on the 18th
of March following. The ratifications
were exchanged on the 11th of April and
the treaty publicly proclaimed. On the
I'd of March Congress voted the sum
contemplated by the treaty. and the
amount was paid over to the Spanish
Government on the 1st OF May.
In this manner the Philippines came to
the United States. The islands were ceded
by the Government of Spain, which had
been In undisputed possession of them
for centuries. They were accepted not
merely by our authorized commissioners
in Paris under the direction Of the execu-
tive. but by the constitutional and we'll
considered action of the representatives
OF the people of the United States in both
houses of Congress. I had every reason
to believe, and I still believe, that this
transfer of sovereignty was in accordance
with the wishes and the aspirations OF
the great mass of the Filipino people.
From the earliest moment no opportunity
was lost of assuring the people OF the
islands of our ardent desire for their well
fare and of the intention Of this Govern
ment TO do everything possible to advance
their interests. In my order of May 19,
1898. the commander Of the military expe-
dition dispatched TO the Philippines was
instructed to declare that we came not to
make war upon the people OF the country,
NOR upon any part or faction among
them but to protect them in their homes,
In their employments and in their per-
sonal and religious rights" That there
should be no doubt as TO the paramount
authority there. on August II 1t was d.
rected that there must be no joint occu-
patton with the insurgents; that the
United States must preserve the peace
and protect persons and property within
the territory occupied by their military
and naval forces; that the insurgents and
all others must recognize the military oc-
cupation and authority OF the United
States. AS early as December 4, and be-
fore the cession, and in anticipation of
that event, the commander in Manila was
urged TO restore peace and tranquility
and to undertake the establishment of a
beneficent government. which should az
ford the fullest security for life and prop
erty. On December 21. after the treaty
was signed. the commander of the forces
OF occupation was instructed ito an

AGRICULTURE.

The Department of Agriculture Is con-

PRODUCING seeds and plants of great value

the duties imposed have been selected.
The provision for securing a proper
