MUST sURRENDFR FIRST
ADMINISTRATIONS Reply to the Prom.
osition of Mabin;

New York, Jan. Pa special to the
Herald from Washington SAYS: The
proposition made by the Filipino lead
er, Senior Mabini, for a civil commits
9loh 10 treat with the F'ilipinOs. viii
not be considered by the administration
until AgulnaldO Surrenders. and in Of
hciaI circles the general disposition is
10 regard Mabini's request as another
play for delay.
1t is the purpose Of President McKfn-
ley to inaugurate a civil government to
supercede military rule in the PhiIip-
pines at the earliest possible moment.
and ne is favOrably inclined toward a
COMMISSION in lieu Of a governor gen
eral, and is discussing the question Of
available men for such a commission
II his present plans are carried out. the
FlllplnOs viii have all Of the commits
sior's they want to confer with. for. in
addition to commission for the gov
eminent Of the islands, it is not m
likely that congress will appoint a Joint
commission to investigate the islands
next summer and report to the next
session as guide for future legisla-
.;na
A great deal of interest was mani
tested in congressional circles il the
communication from Senator NFabini
q IN
the proposition and it's feasibility. Sen
ator Hoar, leader Of the anti-adminis-
tratlon forces in this fight was deeply
interested in the proposition
That sounds fair and just" said he
and l do not see how such a propo-
sition can well be declined. As I under
stand, all the FilipinOs ask is that con-
gress listen to them before deciding
their fate"
Senator Lodge, who represents the
administration view of the Philippine
question, said: 1T will be time enough
to talk of commissions when these DeO-
pie lay down their arms and stop fight
ing our soldiers"
Senator Beverage, a most pronounced
anneXationist regards Mabini as the
equal, as a constructive statesman. Of
any man in public life in America. Of
his proposition, however, the senator
said:
4 would have to study it more closely
before giving an opinion that would be
Of any value, but if / were to answer
off hand. I would say that it seems to
me his suggestion has been anticipated
by the appointment OF the civil COM
mission which visited the islands. and
which did everything possible to bring
about an understanding with the ma
tives.r
John Barrett, former minister to
Siam, said: Whatever comes from Ma
bin is certainly worth considering I
am inclined, however, to think It is too
late for anything TO be done on the line
he suggests. The only thing to do is
to go in and complete American vic
tory, and then get to work and help the
Ffiipinos develop the largest amount OF
self government Of which they are cap
able"

SECRETARY Hay NOTIFIED.
United States Minister Conger Tells
of New Emperor.

of New Emperor.
Washington. Jan, 25.-Secretary Hay
was advised today by United States
Minister Conger at Pekin Of the result
of the convocation of Chinese notables
there yesterday, his statement being
that Pu Chun, If years Of age, has been
appointed heir apparent There is a
notable discrepancy between Mr.. Con-
gers. statement and that cabled from
Shanghai. and it is impossible 10 learn
here which is accurate at this time,
neither the state department nor the
Chinese legation having amy further in
formation on the subject than that con-
tanned in Mr. Conger's brief dispatch.
1t will be noticed that he does not in
dictate that the heir has been chosen as
emperor, nor that he is To ascend the
throne Immediately The result is
awaited with great interest mere. for
by the character of the selection made
of the successor to the present emperor
may be determined the question
whether the Russian or the Japanese
influence is predominant in China.
