A VERY EASY MATTER
It Is Said, For the filplnOs to get Hear.
lag from the Administration.
A CIVIL COMMISSION Is NOW TALKED OF
lIt Is Asserted that the Presidcnt
Is Likely to Establish One NJ
NTaniln in the Near Future.

New York. January GA special to the
Herald from Washington says; The
OF Aguinaldo's agent for
making the desires OF the Filiplnos known
to the civil representatives of this gov
ernmeut Is perfectly feasible It is all
Agulnaldo's own haudiwork He knows
perfectly well the terms OF peace, which
mean surrender, acknowledgement of
American sovereignty and the fullest meas
ure of self government which will be
framed after fully ascertainIng the de-
sircs and capabilities OF the Filipinos,"
This was the statement made by POST
master General Charles Emory smith after
reading Senior Mabngs message to the
Herald.
Colonel Deuby of the Philippine COM
mission said that senior Mabini was ono
of the most able Filpinos, ana he regard
ed tho fact that he had written the CON
municatlon ms favorable indication
Colonel DENLY indicated that he believed
there was plenty of work that civil
commission could do to advantage in the
| Philippines.
ut is my opinion" he said, that civil
! government ought to be established In the
| islands as soon as possible and that as
| soon as any community shows itself ready
or nt for government. whether municipal
! or provisional, such government ought ia
be established without waiting for the
/ complete modification OF the islands
These governments ought to be built nv
/ from the bottom. starting with the muntct'
pal governments and then advancing to
the provincial governments, II mndu'
lvivendi could be established between a
civil commission and the military authori'
tics, It might be desirable TO have new
commission sent out TO continue the wort
| OF the old commission.
Other administration officials read In >
friendly spirit the message from Senior
Mabini. In effect they say that Senior Ma
bini is requesting lust what the admins
tration has contemplated doing for the
Filipinos. The only conditions required
are surrender and complete acknowledge
ment of the sovereignty OF the United
States Then will come civil government
and full ard free conference with the
natives with the view 10 giving them thu
largest measure OF self government
"As 10 the suggestion for civil com
mission. a cabinet officer told me the
president contemplated sending such a
commission TO the Philippines at an earl,
date. In his message TO congress he men
toned that II would soon be desirable 4
send the present commission or a part q
& back TO Manila, and this idea Is no,
under consideration"
concernlng the visit OF a Filipino com
mission to this country the same oablne
officer said II would he the policy OF tn
administration and OF congress 10 give
fun and free hearing TO leading Filipino
and that congress- az the proper time wout
doubtless welcome q representative bod
