authors and managers III titles hon
ing the word Smith ~ = fundamental
base. The first Of the lot and undoubt-
edly the most successful Is Have You
Seen Smith, . farcical comedy which
inaugurates the season Of laughter in
this city. No sooner has the success
of this attraction become known than
a host of imftators sprung up, but they
do not seem to have succeeded in ac-
complishing anything other than Gre
ating a strong desire to see the origi-
nal Smith entertainment. Have You
Seen Smith" will open a half weeks
engagement at the Grand, Thursday
night.
Among the really notable attrac-
tions to be seen in this city this season
is "Phroso," a dramatization of An
thony Hopes fascinating story, which
will be presented by Charles Frohman,
with Odette Tyler In the title role.
This remarkable play which abounds
in thrilling situations and which will
have the benefit of the complete EN-
pire theatre stage production, had a
long and successful run at that house
last year. This season, tt has proved
to be one of the really big successes
en- tour. Miss Tyler is admitted to
be one of the best ingenues on the
stage to-day and in the title role she
Is accredited with having made a most
unqualified hit. Her charming per-
sonality fits closely to the ideal hero
inc drawn by the novelist and she has
declared the part to be the most con-
genial she has ever attempted. The
supporting company is one Of unusual
artistic strength and much may be ex-
pected by theatre patrons from the en-
gagement here, which will be at the
Opera House on Saturday and Is limit
ed to n night only.

DESIRES Of F|L|P|NOS
They Wish to Make Them
Known to United States.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says; This letter
addressed to the Herald correspondents
in the Philippines, has been received
from Senior Mabini, the strongest coun-
selor of Aguinaldo, and his congress
/ in Philippine affairs
Gentlemen: Convinced that you
treat Philippine questions with impair
! TALLY and with the object that public
opinion of the great free and civilized
nation be not misled l take the liberty
to ask you to make yourselves an echo
of the following opinions throughout
the American press:
THE Philippine people do not sustain
any systematic hatred against foreign
ers. On the contrary they receive with
pleasure and gratitude those who real
ly wish to cooperate for their liberties
and prosperity
"Fflipinos continue to fight against
Americans, not because of hatred, but
to demonstrate that far from looking
with indifference on the political situa-
ton, they know how to sacrifice them
selves for a government which assures
individual liberties and is administered
in conformity with the necessaries and
desires of its people.
The present state of war does not
permit the people to give frank express
sion to a manifestation of their aspira-
tons For this reason F'ilipinos wish ar
IDENTIFY that the congress of the United
States shall hear them before deciding
upon their future
To this end the Filipinos ask con-
gress- either to nominate civil COM
mission which may put itself in con-
tact with Filipinos who have influence
in pacific villages, as we'll as among the
people under arms, or permit com
mission of such Fflipinos to go to
America in order to express the desires
of the people.
Il hope confidently that when the
Americans and Filipinos know each
other better not only will the present
conflict cease. but other future ones viii
be forestalled. The conscientious opin-
ion of the masses in America appears
to follow on their traditions and these
constitute for the present, the only
guarantee for hopes of all honorable

M'KINLEY. IS WILLING.
But He Says the Filipinos Must First
Surrender.

Surrender
New York, Jan. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: "The
proposition of Aguinaldo's agent for
making the desires of Filipinos known
to civil representative of this govern
ment is perfectly feasible 1t is all in
Aguinaldo'S own hands. He knows per
| fectly well the terms of peace. which
mean surrender, acknowledgment of
American sovereignty and the fullest
measure of self government. which will
| De framed after fully ascertaining the
desires and capabilities of the Fill
pinos.''
This was the statement made bv
postmaster General Charles Emory
/ Smith, after reading Senior Mabini's
/ message to the Herald.
! Colonel DENLY of the Philippine com
mission said that Senior Mabini was one
OF the most able F'ilipinos, and he re-
garded the fact that he had written the
communication as a favorable indiea-
tlon. Colonel DENLY indicated that he
/ believed there was plenty of work that
CIVIL committee could do to adVan
tage in the Philippines.
1T is my opinion, he said. chat
civil government ought to be estab
Ilshed in the islands as soon as nossi
Bile, and that as soon as any community
shows itelf ready or fit for government.
whether municipal or provincial, such
government ought to be established
without waiting for the complete pacifi-
cation of the islands.
These governments ought to he
built up from the bottom, starting with
the municipal governments and then
advancing to the provincial govern
ments. If mOdus vivendi could he
established between civil commission
and the military authorities, it might
be desirable to have new commission
sent out to continue the work of tbn
old commission
Other administration officials read in
friendly spirit the message from Sc
nor Mabini. In effect they saw that Sc
nor Mabini is requesting Just what the
administration has contemplated doine
for the Filpinos. The only conditions
required are surrender and comnIete
acknowledgment of the sovereignty of
the United States Then will come civil
government and full and free confer
ence with the natives, with the view to
giving them the largest measure of
elf-goVernment.
AS to the suggestion for a civil com
mission, cabinet officer said the nras-
ident contemplated sending such a com
mission to the Philippines at an early !
date. In his message to congress he |
mentioned that it would soon be desir-
able to send the present Commission. or |
a part of it, back to Manila. and this |
idea is now under consideration.
Concerning the visit of a Filipino |
commission to this country, the same |
cabinet officer said it would be the pol- |
icy of the administration and congress
to give a full rehearing to lead |
ing Filipinos, and that congress, at the
proper time, would doubtless welcome |
a representative body of men from the
islands.
