ADDRESS TO F|L|P|NOS
Purpose of the United States Is
Explained.
TRIBAL LOCAL AUTONOMY
The Protection of the United States Will
Not Be Exercised in Any Spirit of
Tyranny-A Stable Govern
ment Necessity.

New York March 22.-The Journals
Manila. correspondent cables to-day that
the address to the natives of the Phil
ippne islands, drafted by the American
commission in behalf of the United
States government and embodying the
views of the president. has been made
public. After being translated into all
the native dialects it is to be dissem-
mated throughout the archipelago.
The address assures the Filipinos the
intention of the Americans to develop
the powers of self government in the
people. 1t explains that America
has assumed international obligations
which would make it responsible to the
whole civilized world for the stable
government of the Philippines. The
commission, it is explained, is to in
terpret to the natives the purposes and
intentions of the president toward them
and also suggests the establishment Of
such government as shall suit the ca
pacity and requirements of the Filipinos
and be consistent with the interests cf
the United States. The protection of
the United States is not to be exercised
in any spirit of tyranny or vengeance.
but having destroyed Spanish power
and accepted the sovereignty of the ISL

restore peace in the Philippines. To
this end all insurgents are invited TO
lay down their arms and place their
trust in the government that emanci-
pated them from the oppression of
Spain.
The majority of the commissioners
incline toward giving the Filipinos a
sort of tribal or provincial local autono.

A FULL CONFESSION.
Mrs. Ann Ingersoll Will Make Plea of
Insanity.


Painesville. Ohio. March 22.-John
Collins, who was arrested here yester-
day with Mrs. Ann Ingersoll on the
charge of abductins Gerald Lapiner
from in front of his parents house in
Chicago about a year ago, has made a
full confession. Collins says he is an
old soldier. He was an inmate of the
National Military home at Los Angeles.
There he met Mrs. Ingersoll. She told
him she had a farm at Painesvlle and
asked him to come East and live with
her. They came to Chicago, where they
arrived few days before the last of
May, 1898. On Decoration day Mrs. In
gersoll came to him with the child. She
said she had found the little one on
the street. They remained in Chicago a
few days and then came East to
Pamesville. Collins said he had no sus-
picion that the child had been abducted
and he believed Mrs. Ingersoll when she
said she had found the little one. Col
Inns was held in $500 and Mrs Ingersosl
in 5000 bail for the hearing on Thurs
day.
The prisoners have secured attorneys
and will fight against removal to Chi
cago, where they have been indicted.
Late to-day notice was served on the
county clerk to summon an examining
court to pass upon the sanity of Mrs.
Ingersoll. which seems to indicate that
the defense will be insanity on her part.
A hearing was had tonight on a writ
of habeas corpus and Judge Clark of
the common pleas court awarded the
custody of the child to Mrs. Lapiner.

A DECISIVE MOVEMENT.
Aguinaldo Is Planning an Attack on
Manila.

Manila, March %. p. m.-While ap-
parently inactive since Sunday really
the opposite has been the case with the
American forces. Reorganization, en-
failing many changes, has been in pro-
gress since the abandonment of the fly
ing column.
General Wheaton'S and General
Hale's brigades have not been assigned,
but the Oregon regiment, the Mime
sofa regiment and the 22d regiment
have been concentrated at the camp On
the Lunetta at the water front in read
mess for immediate transportati
when the plan of the military leaders
has been formulated.
Our troops are entrenChed and the
situation is practically unchanged. The
insurgents have refrained from making
any attack recently and it appears the
rebels are saving their ammunition for
a decisive moment.
According to a prisoner captured by
our troops, Aguinaldo has announced
that he will personally conduct the "e-
serves at ,MalolOs and march into Ma
Mia within 20 days unless the Ameri-
cans withdraw in the meantime. The
concentration of rebel forces in the vi
cinity of Malabon gives color to the
statement of the prisoner.
Advices received from Cebu by a
coasting steamer says everything IS
quiet there.
The United States transport Sherman
from New York, February 3, has arriv-
ed here. Two sailors and two privates
died on the voyage and one man was

New York, March ga special to
the Herald from Washington says: Ma
jor General Otis and the other members
of the Philippine commission will de-
eide whether or not the ransom of the
Spanish prisoners held by Agunaldo is

the National Red Cross, showing the
deplorable condition of the prisoners,
General Otis will be given power to act

TRUSTS DEFENDED.
Their Power to Rule Prices Greatly
Exaggerated.

London, March 22.-At the banquet
of the British Economic association
this evening, Sir Robert Griffen, former
assistant secretary of the board of
trade, presiding. Professor Ashley
delivered an interesting address
on the position of trusts in the United
States. Professor Ashley said the
trusts were mainly the outcome of an
attempt to get rid of the disastrous
effects of cutthroat competition. The
public. in his opinion, had greatly eX-
aggerated their power to rule prices.
He contended that the general tendency
of trusts in the United States was in
fact to lower prices, as had been seen
in the case of the Standard Oil trust.
Undoubtedly, the trusts gave an ad-
vantage to the capitalists. but they also
tended to secure steadiness in the
rate of remuneration for labor and to
promote continuity of employment
and an increased stability in indus
try,
