distinguished Georgians called on the
President to-day and invited him to
visit Atlanta, on July goth, the ami

PROCLAMATION BY MACARTHUR.
INHABITANTS OF THE PHILIPPINES
WARNED TO COMPLY WITH THE
LAWS OF WAR.

Manila, Dec. 19.-The Taft Commission is still
at work on the tariff.
Officers here consider that the return Of the
volunteers will require little abandonment of
stations, and that Congress will provide an i'm
mediate increase in the number Of Regulars.
1t is believed that many volunteers will re-
enlist here if bonuses are offered. the amount
to be about equivalent to the expense OF equip
ping and bringing out recruit.
Tomorrow General Macarthur will issue a
proclamation warning the inhabitants Of the
archipelago that hereafter strict compliance
with the laws Of will be required OF
combatants as well combatants The proc
lamatien will set forth the principal laws OF
war. 1t will refer to recent proclamations is
sued by insurgent commanders threatening
natives who are friendly to the American forces.
and also to the orders issued to their men TO
kidnap and assassinate residents of towns
cupied by Americans The insurgent leaders
will be informed that such practices. if con-
tinued. will put an end TO the possibility Of
their resuming normal civic relations and will
make them fugitive criminals.
Residents OF places occupied by Americans
will be informed that compliance with the de-
mands of the enemy will create a presumption
that such acts are voluntary and malicious.
They will also be told that pleas of intimidation
will rarely be accepted. and that. where secret
committees are permitted to exist in behalf of
the insurgents, even well disposed persons will
be exposed to the danger Of being tried as
traitors.
The proclamation will say that it's warnings
snd requirements are to apply with special force
to Manila, the rendezvous of the ernissaries of
instruction
Newspapers will be warned against publish
ing sedttion, and the proclamation will declare
that the rebels who are not part OF an organized
force are not entitled TO the privileges Of pris-
oners of war; adding that the fact that thew
have not hitherto been held responsible is "evi-
dence of the solicitude of the United States to
avoid the appearance of harshness''
The proclamation will clearly disavow any
recognition of technical belligerency.
