the soldiers was attributed to the
canned beef supplied.

ADDRESS TO FILIPINoS.
American mission Tells Them
They Are TO De Aided In Reach
fnR seif-Government.

New York. March 23.-1The Journals
Manila correspondent cables that the
address to the natives of the Philippine
islands, drafted by the American COM
mission in behalf of the United States
government and embodying the views
of the president, has been made public.
After being translated into all the ma
tive dialects. II is TO be disseminated
throughout the archipelago. The adj
dress assures the Filipinos of the inten-
ton of the Americans to develop the
powers of self-government in the peo-
pie. 1t explains that the United States
has assumed international obligations
which IL must fulfill, and which make it
responsible to the whole civilized world
for the stable government of the Phil
ippines. The commission. 1t is ex-
planned. is to interpret to the natives
the purposes and intentions of the pres
ident toward them and also suggest the
establishment of such government as
shall suit the capacity and require
ments of the Filipinos and be consistent
with the interests of the United States.
The protection of the United States is
not to be exercised in any spirit of
tyranny or vengeance; but, having de-
stroyed the Spanish power and accept
ed the sovereignty of the islands, the
United States is bound to restore peace
in the Philippines.
To this end, all insurgents'arei invited
to lay down their arms and place their
trust In the government that enamel
pated them from the oppression Of
Spanish rule.
The majority of the commissioners
incline toward giving the Filipinos
sort of tribal or provincial local auton-
omy, under central government,
civil system is proved to be feasible.
