QUEZAN WILL CARRY 1T
Assembly Leader Says Roosevelt Is
Great Man.
MAKES VISIT TO OYSTER BAY
Extension of Powers to Be Granted
With Showing Of Ability for
Self-Government

OYSTER BAY. N. V. August 49,
hopes to see the Philippine Islands indie
pendent In twenty years.
THAT is the best message I could take
back to the Philippines. and 1 rejoice
that am the bearer of 1t.
1.-The President said he did not believe
the F1lipinos should have independence
sooner. as before then they would not
have learned enough about free govern
ment, nor would they be strong or
wealthy enough to defy outside enemies -
Senior Manuel Quezan. leader in the
Philippine assembly. so spoke yesterday.
He and his interpreter, Senior Escamillo
had returned from Sycamore Hill, where
they held a long conference with the
r President. and both were overjoyed by
the Presidents attitude and his express
sions Of good will for the Filipinos.
Interview Is Arranged.
Their visit revealed that the President
Is in daily communication, over a direct
wire. with William H. Taft at Hot
Springs Senior Quezan was at Hot
Springs last Saturday and had long
chat with Taft. whom he had known as
governor Of the Philippines. There the
senior told Mr.. Taft his one desire was
to have a talk with the President, so he
might take direct to the people of the
Philippines and their asse emily any mes
sage given him. Taft became busy with
the private wire. and Senior Quezan and
his interpreter reached here this after
moon.
my mission is of the utmost impor-
.tance." said Senior Quezan before he
started up Sycamore Hill 1.-THE Ameri-
cans In the islands are progressive and
are developing the resources rapidly. but
this arouses fear among us that there will
be nothing left for us, and that Ameri-
can enterprise will eventually control the
islands. I am the leader OF the majority
in the assembly at home. So 1 was dele

his assurances that all the concessions
would not be taken from us and that we
would not be left out in the cold
Pleased With President.
Senior Quezan did not remain to lunch
with the President. On his return he con-
5tinued:
president Roosevelt is great man.
and / was captivated by him. He as
sured me that he favored giving all posi-
bile business concessions to FiHpinos able
TO carry out improvements. He made 1t
plain that America does not wish to see
any condition brought about that would
give other nations q chance to interfere
Sin the affairs of the islands.
when asked the President how soon
we could expect an extension of our pres
ent political rights he told me he was
pleased with the work of the present as
sembly and that he believed that if the
assembly next elected should show the
same ability a considerable extension of
power would be allowed.
Everything is peaceful in the islands
now. We find that many Japanese are
settling among us. but they do not come
In such number as to give rise to any
alarm at the present"
