of the F. ,pinos had created q situation
full of embarrassments for us and most
grievous in its consequences to them
selves. The clear and impartial prelim-
mary report of the commissioners,
which I transmit herewith gives SO
lucid and comprehensive a history Of
the present insurrectionary movement
that the story need not be here re-
peated. 1t Is enough to say that the
claim Of the rebel leader that he was
promised independence by any officer OF
the United States in return for his as
sistance has no foundation in fact. and
Is categorically denied by the very wit
nesses who were called to prove 1t.
The most the insurgent leader hoped
for when he came back to Manila was
the liberation of the islands from the
Spanish control. which they had been
laboring for years without success to
throw off
THE prompt accomplishment of this
work by the American army and navy
gave him other ideas and ambitions.
and insidious suggestions from various
quarters pervei ted the purposes and in
tentions with which he had taken up
arms. No sooner had our army cap
tured Manila than the Filipino forces
began to assume an attitude OF sus-
picion and hostility which the utmost
efforts of our officers and troops were
unable to disarm or modify. Their
kindness and forbearance were taken
as a proof OF acowardice. The agrees
Sions of the Filipinos continually in
creased until finally, just before the
time set by the senate of the United
States for vote upon the treaty. an
attack-evldently prepared In advance
was made all along the American
lines. which resulted in terribly de-
structive and sanguinary repulse or the
Insurgents.

the advisory council. He. in general.
performs the duties which are per-
formed by secretaries of state in our
own system of government.
THE advisory council consists OF eight
members elected by the people within
territorial limits which are defined in
the order Of the commanding general.
The times and places of holding cleo
tons are to be fixed by the military
governor of the island Of Negroes. The
qualifications Of voters are as follows:
% A voter must be male citizen OF
the island of Negros. (2) OF the age OF
Il years. (3) He shall be able to speak,
read and write the English, Spanish or
Visayan language, or he must own real
property worth s55, or pay rental on
real property Of the value of $1,000. (G
He must have resided in the island not
less than one year preceding. and In the
district in which he offers to register
as voter not less than three months
Immediately preceding the time he offer
to register 60 He must register at
time fixed by law before voting. go
Prior to such registration he shall have
paid all taxes due by him to the gov
eminent. Provided. that no insane per-
son shall be allowed to register or vote.
THE military governor has the right
to veto all bills or resolutions adopted

tary governor of the Philippines. The
advisory council discharges all the or
binary duties of legislature. The usual
duties pertaining to said offices are to
be performed by the secretaries OF the
treasury. interior, agriculture. public
instruction, the attorney general. and
the auditor. The judicial power is vested
in three judges, who are to be ap-
pointed by the military governor of the
island. Inferior courts are to be estab-
lished. Free public schools are to be
established throughout the populous
districts of the island. in which the
English language shall be taught. and
this subject will receive the careful
consideration of the advisory council.
"The burden of government must be
distributed equally and equitab.y

OF Negroes that the constitution so

RAILWAYS IN THE WEST.
Double Tracks for One of the PaciG.
Trunk Lines.

DENVER. Colo. Nov 23.-According to
President Burt. the Union Pacific will be
the first railroad to have double track
line from the Missouri River west. Traffic
OF all kinds has been so heavy the last
year that the carrying capacity OF the
road has been overtaXed, and the proposed
improvement has become almost impera-
tive. In what way the company will pro-
vide for the additional expenses Mr. Burt
did not say. II is belived to be justified
however. by increased earnings and in line
with the Improvements now in progress
in Wyoming.
President Burt said yesterday:
For a long time it has been evident
that the West had outgrown single track
trunk lines. and We are ready for such
roadbeds as are the rule in the East. At
any rate. press of business has made the
Union Pacific feel that it needed some
thing more for its traffic than the singh
track lines 1t now operates. It Is probable
that among the important Improvements
which we shall make next year will be the
double tracking of one OF the Union Pa
cific lines out of Omaha. / am inclined to
think that it will be the line between
Omaha and Denver. but We have the choice
of several branches that need double
tracks. .......

to the amount of sl2 900, internal revenue
receipts to the amount of s61, 1856, and
miscellaneous receipts to the amount of
So. 1926.
The total receipts of the island from all
sources during the period of ten months
extending from January l. 1899, to October
81. 1899. were Si2. 2.10S. $3.50, the average
per month being s1210 s66.53. The total

OPPOSE A SUBSIDY BILL.
Shtpbuflders of the Great Lakes to
Petition cOngress.

shtpbufIdefs of the Great Lakes tG
Petition COnEresr.
The shipbuilders of the Great Lakes are
| understood to oppose the Hanna Payne
subsidy bill. the Frye bill, or any other
measure providing subsidy for the mer-
chant marine. 1t has been learned that
counsel to prepare arguments against any
such measure and that strong figRt viii
be made soon as the subject is taken
up by Congress. The Lake Carriers AS
| sociation. on the other hand, is understood
to be decidedly in favor of subsidy bill.
| Briefly. the opposition of the lake build
! ers is based on the fear that the subsidy
| Atlantic Coast SO fsst that there will be
| no business for the lake builders when the
proposed deep-water way between the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean is
completed. The report of the Deep Water
Way Commission is expected to be made
within the next three weeks SO it may be
laid before Congress as soon il assem-
bles.
Two principal surveys have been made.
One of these starts from Oswego, on Lake
OHtbiiO, pIOGttuS tutuCt lulouSn tuc
Mohawk Valley to the deep waters of the
Hudson River. thus making deep water
way from the chain OF lakes to the ocean,
The other survey starts from a point on the
St Lawrence River about due Forth from
Lake Champlain, proceeds to Lake Cham
plain and thence to the Hudson River 1t
became evident long ago that the people
of Vermont favored the last named survey
and the greater number of people of New
York naturally favored the former.
The combination Of shipbuilders repre-
sented in the yards at Cleveland. Detroit,
Chicago, Port Huron, West Superior, and
other points on the lakes are said to be-
lieve that the passage of a subsidy bill
would mean the building Of large num-
Ter Of vessels within five years after its
enactment. After the completion OF the
projected deep-water canal from the lakes
TO the ocean on the other hand. they ar
que, lake shipbuilders, responding to the
needs of lake commerce. could build ships
SO rapidly that a Government subsidy to
promote the business would be unnecessary.
They represent that there is no chance
that the deep-water way will be complet-
ed within five years. They urge the point,
however, that it would be much better for
the Federal Government to expend extra
funds in pushing the work on the canal
rapidly, instead OF spending money on ship
subsidies.
II is said to be probable, however, that
any congressman who may oppose sub
sidy bill on the ground of expense would
oppose the ship canal or any exfraordi-
nary expense on account of the canal. for
the same reason.
The reason given for the friendship of
the Lake Carriers Association to subsidy
bill is that the vessels at present owned in
the lakes are generally not adapted for
crossing the ocean; also the building of
the canal would. by letting in going
vessels. destroy the supremacy in the lake
carrying business which the association en-
joys. Both the builders and the ship own
ers seem 10 believe that If the subsidy bill
becomes law the deepwater way will
fail

EMMA GOLDMAN SAILS.
Anarchy's High Pricstess to study
Medicine in EurOpe

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Emma Goldman
the high priestess" of anarchy in New
York. sailed yesterday on the St. Louis
under an assumed name for Paris. where
she intends to study medicine. When her
studies are finished she will enter on the
practice of medicine and preach anarchy
Miss Goldman will visit Prince Krapot-
kin in London, and will go to Belgium.
Switzerland. and Italy. to meet noted an
archists. Miss Goldman turned toward
medicine as career when she was pris-
oner on Blackwell's Island four years ago.
She was employed as an assistant in the
hospital there.
Before she sailed Miss Goldman said to
a reporter: There are only about dozen
men or women in America who deserve
the name of anarchists The rest who call
themselves so are towards, hypocrites or
scoundrels. A few years ago all were
united, but now the movement is split into
a dozen different factions. The American
workmen themselves are fools and blind"
Miss Goldman expects to be gone about
three years.
