1t is said the war department re-
| Gently had congress set aside $4,000
for the purpose of bringing to the
/ United States these fifty representa-
tive F'ilipinos. The object of doing this
! is to have these representative men,
/ who nave been selected as honorary
commissioners from the islands partici-
| pate in the functions, the social and
| scientific congresses and other gather
/ ings that may take place at the Worlds
/ fair, and are authorized to speak with
authority concerning the condition and
the needs of the people. They are gen
! tlemen of education and culture. all ma
tives of the islands, and familiar with
! their resources and conditions. They
belong to different and conflicting po-
litical organizations and interests and
/ represent the diverse views of the diff
| ferent factions concerning the policy of
/ the government; but they are capable
of appearing on any occasion before an
audience and represent with dignity the
intellectual development of the Islands.
Leavenworth is the party's first stop
ping point since leaving San Francisco
] and they will be shown extra courtesy
Much of this action is due to Secre-
1 tary of War Taft. While in the-city re-
/ Gently the U. S. official explained the
desire of the government to give the
Filipino party every opportunity TO
view the government property, peniten-
tiary, etc
Their journey is a great educational
movement both for them and for the
United states. Few Filipinos have ever
visited this country, few have any con-
ception of its magnitude, wealth and
power, but these gentlemen are expect
! ed to make extensive tours throughout
| the states and see for themselves.
The honorary commissioners are in
charge of Arthur w. Ferguson, execu7
tive secretary of the Philippine COM
mission.
