ties of the IsIandS-AdNice Given
to the Natives - The Attitude of
the United States Explained.

copy Of the order issued by General
ous on March 90 1900 promulgating laws
for the government of Philippine munich
palities, was transmitted to Congress yes
terday by Secretary Root.
The order begins with a proclamation to
the people Of the island on the subject Of
citizenship and suffrage and General Otis
carefully explains the attitude Of the
United States on the subject Of local gov
eminent He tells the people how
they can best prove to the United States
their fitness for self government. and ex-
plains that the proper conduct Of the mu-
inequalities viii depend on their selection
OF municipal officers. He says by way Of
Introduction:
1T is with great satisfaction that the
United States authorities in cousonance
with former primises promulgate in this
order the law by which municipalities
Of the Philippines are to be estab-
lished and governed in the future. The
law is inspired by a genuinely liberal spir-
% aud the principles Of autonomous gov
eminent. II is calculated to urge ON the
people in the path Of true progress. If they
are DESTROYS to understand their duties as
free citizens and make legitimate use OF
their privileges"
Continuing the proclamation says:
For the first time the Philippine people
are to exercise their right OF suffrage in
the election of municipal officers, a light

have been imposed for the purpose Of re-
warding as well as encouraging the people
