GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES.
President Has Decided to Establish a
Civil Administration at Once.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-According to
Washington correspondent of the Trib-
une. President Mckinley has declded
not to wait for congress to act upon
the matter of replacing the military
government by civil administration
In the Philippines, recognizing that
mucn time will be consumed In delib-
Grating over details and before any
comprehensive plan for the government
of the islands can be adopted and that
more than a month will be required
after that time for the officials to reach
their stations.
Ii has been decided, therefore, to
send OFT three or at most five commits
sioners to establish Professionally the
form of territorial government recon-
mended in the report of the Philippine
commission, sent to congress today.
According to present intentions the
head of the new commission is eventu-
ally to become the governor of the ter
ritory Of the Philippines, its secretary
Wiil become the secretary of the terri-
tory and third member is to be Sc
leeted with view to his qualifications
to becoming the presiding justice of the
territorial supreme court when it is es-
tabhshed.
Among the men who have been al
ready canvassed for membership of
this commission are Governor Roose-
Welt, President Schurmann. Robert p.
Porter. Colonel DENLY, General Fred
eriek ID. Grant and ex-MiRister Bar
rett 1t has been foundsthat Governor
Roosevelt and President Schurmann
cannot be induced TO accept and vari-
Gus objections have been raised to the
Others as possible governors of the ter
ritory General Grant is said to be
most favorably regarded just now, but
il is desired TO avoid choosing mill
tary man. The leading candidate for
the seeretaryshlp of the territory isl
said to be John r, Macarthur secre-
tary OF the present commission.
The president has given his hearty
approval to the recommendations of
the Philippine commission, especially
as to the advisability of Immediately
supplanting martial law in those por-
tions of Luzon and the other islands
which have been effeetually pacifed |
and in which the inhabitants are not
only capable Of some measure of self |
government. but are bitterly opposed |
to all forms of militarism.
