FORM OF GOVERNMENT

ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE LIBERAL
tho President, and an Advisory
Council Elected by tho People.

Manila. May 24.-Professor Schur-
me- in. head of the United States Phil
Ipldne commission, today submitted
the following written propositions to
the Filipinos:
While final decisions as to form of
government is in the hands of con-
gress, the president, under his military
powers. pending the action of con-
gress, stands ready to offer the follow
ing form of government: A governor
general to be appointed by the presi-
dent; cabinet to be appointed by the
governor-general; all judges to be ap-
pointed by the president; heads of de-
partmcnts and judges to be either
Americans or Filipinos. or both; also
general advisory council. its mem bers
to be chosen by the people by form
of suffrage to be hereafter cal efully de.
termined upon; the president earnestly
desires bloodshed to cease, and the
people of the Philippines at an early
date to enjov the largest measures of
self-government compatible with peace
and order.
The commission prepared. this
scheme, and the president cabled his
approval. The Filipinos have made
no definite proposition except for cessa-
ton of hostilities until they can pre-
sent the question of peace to the peo-
pie. Schurmann told the Filipinos
they had no means of gathering the
people together, as the Americans con-
troll most of the ports. He also re-
minded them of the liberal form of
government offered them, and pointed
out that 1t was better than conditions
existing under Spanish rule. Gozaga,
president of the Filipino commission.
admitted the form of government pro-
posed was liberal. Civilian members
of the Philippine commission have de-
clined to cooperate with the other
mem bers of the commission, as the
former consider Aguinaldo's late de-

The speed is fixed at 16H knots, or
