emissnries to the American Philippine
Commission have formally admitted
the. sovereignty of the United states
over the Philippine archipelago.
From member OF the Cabinet II -
learned that this admission was made
10 President Schurinan at o conference
held by him with Colonel Arguelles
and Lieutenant Bcrnal several dayn
ago II wns his reply to direct ques.

the character of the answer was no
doubt MS gratifying to- the comnission

AS a result of the dispatch sent by
Mr.. Schnrnfarf II Is the confident ex-
pcctafion OF fhe Rresident that the cnd
OF the rebellion is close at hand. This
result will not be obtained without
concessions which have been recon-
mended by the commission, aud which
by direction OF the President, VIII De
granted. These concessions Z contem-
plate giving the Filipinos form OF
government modelled after TINT Of the

the commission had unanimously
ndopted n recommendation. which was
submitted TO the President 10 MI

departments for the government OF the

Willie the administration believes
from President Schurmnn's cablegrnm
thnt the end of the Filipino insurrec
tion is near. II IL not thought wise to
send any instructions to Major General
Otis that would result In his pursuing
less vigorous military policy. II Is
feared that back of all the Filipino ne
gotlations for the suspension OF hostill-
ties there may be desire to gain time
for reorganization md for strengthen
ing entertainments lf.I ffIilt
General. Otis Is on the ground. He Is
member of the commission and is
kept Informed as to all negotiations. II
IL the belief OF the authorities that he
will not continue hostilitles a day be-
yond the time required to bring about
the surrender of the Insurgents. and
the officials OF the War Department
are certain he is keeping up the fight
ing In spite of the favorable outlook
for peace because he is convinced by SO
doing he will bring about pence sooner
and with a smaller expenditure of life
on both sides than would be the case II
he should adopt any other policy.
II is. therefore. probable that until
the Ifiliplnos actually Yield the cam
paign will lie conducted with as much
