1.-THE year just drawing to close

contentment. The earth has given
forth abundance of its proudcts, for
which in all cases better compensation
has been received than in former years.
Our laboring classes are more generally
employed at wages more nearly salts
fctory than at any previous time for
generation.
"The mandates of spreading civiliza-
ton are calling upon us as great ma
ton, to carry forward the banner of
progress and enlightenment, and the
task is being performed with willing
ness and enthusiasm that do credit to
our recognition of duty that we could
not shirk if we would and would not il
we could"

THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
Summary Of Its Investiga-
tons in the Islands.
EMPTY CLAIMS OF FiLIPlNOS
Dewey Made No Promises to Aguinaldo
A History of Events That Preceded
the spanish War.

Washington, Nov. Am accordance
with the understanding reached at the
conference at the White House yester-
day, the Philippine commission sub
mitted to the president the preliminary
report which it had promised to pre-
pare.
The report appears to be compact
summary of conditions on the islands
as the commission left them; OF the his
torical events which preceded the
Spanish war and led to the original
Filipino instruction; of the exchanges
between Admiral Dewey and the other
American commander and the insur.
gents, the breaking out and progress of
the present instruction, and finally
statement of the capacity of the Fill.
pinos for self-government. A notable
feature of the report is n memorandum
by Admiral Dewey, explanatory of his
relations with Aguinaldo.
The commission tells briefly how it
conducted the task intrusted to it,
hearing statements from all classes of
people in Manila as to the capability
OF the Filipinos for self-government,
the habits and customs of the people,
and also the establishment of municipal
governments in many towns. All this
matter is to be included in the final
report.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1899-11-09
History OF the Islands.

Turning to the history OF the islands,
the commission attaches little impor-
lance to the divers rebellions which
had preceded that of 1896. AS to this
movement, it declares it was in no
sense an attempt to win independence.
but solely to obtain relief from intoler-
able abuses. To sustain this statement
the commission quotes from an insur-
gent proclamat on showing that what
was demanded was the expulsion of
the friars and the restitution to the
people of their lands, with division
OF the Episcopal sees between Spanish
and native priests. 1t was also de-
manded that the Filipinos have parlia-
mentary representation freedom of the
press, religious liberation, economic
autonomy and laws similar to those of
Spain. The abolition of the pc Asr of
Punishment was demanded, with
legal equality for all persons in law
and equality in pay between Spanish
and native civil servants.
The commission declares that these
demands had good ground that on pa
per the Spanish system of government
was tolerable, but in practice every
Spanish governor did what he saw fit,
and the evil deeds of men in the gov
eminent were hidden from Spain by
strict press censorship. Allusion is
made to the powerful Katipunan SC.
ciety, patterned on the Masonic order,
and mainly made up of Tagals, as
powerful revolutionary force.
The war begun in 1896 was termin
ated by the treaty of Biac-Na-Bate.
The Filipinos were numerous, but pos.
sessed only about 500 small arms. The
Spanish felt that it would require 100,.
600 men to capture their stronghold,
and concluded to resort to the use of
money.
The arrangement was not acceptable
to the people. The promises were
never carried ont. Spanish abuses be-
gan airesh, in Manila alone more than
two 200 men being executed. Hence
sporadic revolutions occurred, though
they possessed nothing like the strength
of the original movement. The insur-
gents lacked arms, ammunition and
leaders. The treaty had ended the
war, WHICH, WIFI une exception Vi an
unimportant outbreak in Cebu, had
been confined to Luzon, Spain's SOW
reignty in the islands never having
been questioned and the thought of in
dependence never having been enter
tanned.
The report then tells how General
Angustini came to Manila as governor
general at this juncture, and war broke
out between Spain and the United
States. Angustini sought to secure
the support of the Filpinos to defend
Spain against America, promising them
autonomy, but the Filipinos did not
trust him. Then came the first of May
and the destruction of the Spanish feet
by Dewey, with the resulting loss of
prestige to Spain. Then in June, Agui.
aaldo came.
