He hns asked the following gentle

Manila.
Admiral Dewey will be president OF
the commission. II Is now only II ques-
tion as to whether or not the gentle
men mentioned will consent to serve
and as to the date when the commits
sion will start for the Philippines.
The fact that President Schurmnn
has been summoned 10 Washington to
confer with the President indicates
that President Mckinley contemplates
appointing the commission immediate
ly. though there Is n probability that he
may wait for the ratification OF the
peace treaty.
Tht President desires not only Prof.
Schurmnn's views regarding the future
attitude of this country toward the
Philippines. but advice as to the phases
of the question that ought to be CON
sidered by commission.
