Foraker Announces McKinIey's
Filipino PoIicy--To Nego-
tate With Rebels.

4. President, Senator Foraker, in
.unhatie language, to-day declared

ths Filipinos by arms and to main
,,;n authority over them by force.

s,rtheranse of that idea diplomacy

states authority.
NO RECOGNITION.
The President will negotiate with
with the Filipinos.
This does not mean that he will

rines. but he will, thror~h eo"onnis
s;oners. hear all that the various
LADDERS have to say, end will make
Known the purposes of the govern
mept to give the Filipinos local
government, and home ruls to the
,,tent of their desires. He is conf
dent that the people will see in q
little time how absolutely necessary
his for them to have the protection
Of the United States.
Senator Foraker said some very
significant things this afternoon. He
spoke, in q certaiu sense, by author
i.y. and outlined the position Of the
Prssideat. There were, the Senator
mid, but four courses open to the
country. One was to turn these
Islands back to Spain, which was
opposed by everybody, no matter
how they felt about expansion. The
second course was to turn the
islands over to ths powers, TO be
parti.isned, aud perhaps fought over
Even the Filipiaos had prayed thas
such fate might not be permitted
The third course was to leave the
islands 10 q state of anarchy, which
was as unjust and impossible as
either the first or second. And
finally remained the fourth course,
which was TO hold the Islands as the
President had done. Aud here the
Senator said that he felt authorized
to declare that there was no purpose
to rule in the Philippines by force
The authority of the United States
was there for the benefit and protec
ton of the people, and would be
exercised in that direction.
AGUINALDo POLICY.
Tbs Senator said that he had no
sympathy, and he felt justified in
saying the President had none, with
that disposition manifested in some
places to regard Aguinaldo as an
outlaw. Aguinaldo and Gomez
had both fought for freedom
They had been allies of the United
States in war. They would not be
ignored in peace, but would be
treated with The considerations due
them.
The Senator declares that it was
the purpose Of the President to
recognize the services which the 50.
called Insurgents had rendered in
the cause Of freedom, and not to
suppress them with an exercise of
force.
Senator Foraker made known in
isrmal and in an authoritative way
mat there will be no fighting in the
philippines unless the followers of
Ag1inaldo, inspired by bad advisers,
slall assume the aggressive against
TIE United States forces. Or this
mere is less apprehension az the
days pass by.
