Filipinos Advised to suomit-Pcace

MANILA, April 20.-The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino peo-
pie, made public last evening:
81 believe | am not in error in presum-
ing that the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has led me is not a sur
prise to those who have been familiar
with the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with n full meaning and
which have recently come to my knowl.
edge suggest with irresistible force that
a complete termination of hostiltics and
lasting peace are not only desirable. but
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
Philippine Islands.
"Thc Filipinos have never been dismay.
ed at their weakness, nor have they fall
tered in following the path pointed out
10y their fortitude and courage. The
time has come. however. in which they
find their advance along this path to be
impcded by an irresistible force which,
while il restrains them. yet cnlightens
their minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the cause Of
peace This cause has been joyfully en-
braced 10y the majority of my fellow
couutrymen, who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner of
the United States. In this banner they
repose their trust and believe that under
its protection the Filipino people will at
tain all those promised liberties which
they are now beginning to enjoy The
country has declared Enthusiastically in ia
vor OF peace. So be 1t. There has been
enough blood, enough tears and enough
desolation. This wish cannot be ignor-
ed by the men still in arms il they are
animated 10y a desire to serve our noble
people which has thus clearly manifested
its will. So do | respect this will now
that il is known TO me.
After mature deliberation | resolutely
proclaim to the world that | cannot re-
fuse to heed the voice of people longing
for peace nor the lamentations of thou
sands of families yearning to see their
dear ones enjoying the liberty and the
promised generosity of the great Ameri-
can nation.
