AMNESTY TO FILIPINOS.
The Presidents Order Made Publicly
by General Macarthur at Manila.
AGUINALDO MAY SURRENDER.

Filipino Leaders Believe They Can Bring
1t About-He is said to Be willing to
Consider Amnesty Plan-Free Pardon
TO All who Take the Oath of Ale
glance to the United States.
Manila by Cable).-General MacAr-
thur has formally announced Presf-
dent McKinley's order of amnesty.
Buencamino, Palermo, and other prom
inent Filipino leaders are greatly
pleased, as they believe that, under
the amnesty, they can bring about the
surrender of Aguinaldo, who, they de-
clare is ready and willing to consider
the peace platform adopted by the
Filipino leaders with a few ihsignifi-
cant exceptions.
1t is the consensus of opinion of the
foreigners the better class of the Fill
pinos. and the Spaniards that Aguin-
aldo will be in Manila shortly as the
result of the decree and of the nego-
tiations of the Buencamino party
Now that the rains have fairly be-
gun, life in the country districts
is a great and prolonged hardship.
Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-Thet~
fact that President Mckinley had isl
sued an amnesty proclamation to the
Filipinos has been carefully guarded
here. and the dispatch from Manila is
the first intimation that has been re-
ceived by anybody outside the Cabinet
that such an intention existed The
news created the most profound SUR
prise as soon as it was made known. |
The proclamation gives a free par-
don to all Eilipinos who have particle
pated in the rebellion against the
United States. the only condition be-
ing that they take the oath of alle-
glance and acknowledge the sover-
eighty of the United States Govern-
ment. 1t excludes no one except those
who have violated the laws of war.
The proclamation is very brief and
is plain and simple, its terms COM
prising no more than can be put on al
single sheet of typewriting. The offer
of the amnesty will mark a distinct
advance in the progress of the arms
of the United States in the restoration
of order in the Philippines.
1t is confidently believed that the re-
suit III tLt w III ne tltS
submission of those Filipino leaders
who have not yet given their adhesion
to the control of the islands by the
United States. The PRONUNCIATION of
q proclamation of amnesty has been
under consideration for some months,
and the decision to issue it at this time
was reached only after advices from
a number of sources that the time was
ripe and that assurances had been
received that it would meet with a
worthy response from those to whom
it was addressed.
A better understanding of the pur-
poses of the United States toward
them is now understood to prevail
among the Filipinos, so that their hos
tiliry to Americn control has abated,
in a considerable degree With th43
general acceptance of amnesty it rs
expected that the American troops will
not be kept i'll such ceaseless activity
and that the pacification of the island
will go forward more quietly and more
