It Is a cry voluminous record, contain ing much that has been mad public, and Includes lrstructions by the President, js-oclamatloas by the Philippine Commis sion, and General Otls's reports of officers in tho Philippines, all communications re ceived from Aguinaldu or his assistants, or proclamation Issued by them; Information concerning the treatment of prisoners or other Inhabitants of the island by the In surgents, and also such Information as has been received "as to aid or encouragement received by Agulnaldo and his followers from rorsons In the United States; as to what pamphlets, speeches or other docu ments emanating in the United States, and adverse to its authority, were circulated in whole or in part among tho Filipinos In arms against tho United States, amors other inhabitant, of the M.ind. or among the soldiers of the United States " Referring to General Otls's rroclamatloa. the President savs. "So disapproval of the said proclamation was expressed by my authority or the War Department. It was, in fact, approved by roe. athough no formal communication to that effect was sent to General Otl." Axutnaldo'a Protect. Included in the correspondence of last Oc tober between General MacArthur and Aguinaldo's representative. General Ambro Fio Florcs. in regard to the delivery of sick Spanish prisoners, is a protest against what ho terms the "suspiciousness" of the Ameri cans. He says: "The treatment accorded necessarily corresponds with our political condition," adding that "In the name of sol dierly honor, I protest ngainst such suspi cion, as we bavo never reported to indirect means in order to wrest by artifice the rec ognition of our bcloed Independence." In this connection a cablegram from Gen eral Corbln is given, dated Xovember 10, Indorsing General Otls's course In the mat ter of the SpanUh prisoners. He says: "Tho letter of tho insurgents imply a threat. Unless you ee strong reasons to the contrary, notify Agulnaldo that he and his advisers will be held personally respon sible for any Injur done to Spanish or American prisoners in violation of the laws tnl usages of war among civilized nation." The instructions to General Merntt are transmitted, but not those to General Otis, which, the report. eavs were given In cipher. The Instructions from the President to General Merritt, May 13, 1SS3. direct the Issuance of a proclamation, saying that "We come not to make war upon the peo ple of the Philippines, nor upon any party or faction among them, but to protect them In their homes, in their employments and In their personal and religious rights. All persons who. either by actho aid or by honest admission, co-operate with the United State in their efforts to give effect to this beneficent purpose, will receive the regard of its support and protection. Our occupation should be as free from severity as possible." The President's instructions to the Phil ippine Commission of January 20, IS??, aro given in fulL The President wrote: Government Proponed. "The commission may render valuable services by examining with special care the executive needs of the various groups of Inhabitants and by reporting with recom mendations the measures which should bo Instituted for the maintenance of order, peace and public welfare. "It is my desire that in all their relations with the Inhabitants of the Philippine Islands the Commissioners exercise duo respect for all the ideals, customs and In stitutions of the tribes and races which compose the population, emphasizing upon all occasions the Just and beneficent Inten tions of the Government of the United States. It is also my wish and expectation that the Commlsslanera may be received in a manner due to the honored an! au thorized representatives of the American Republic duly commissioned, on account of their knowledge, skill and integrity as bearers of the good will, the protection and the richest blessings of a liberating, rather than a conquering nation." The record shows that on the 4th of May, 1S33, President Schurman of the commis sion notified Secretary Hay of a cessation of hostilities in order to get a vote from the Insurgent Congress in favor of nu tonou 7, to which Secretary Hay replied as folllows: Tou are authorized to propbse that un der the military power -of tho President, pending the action of Congress, the gov ernment of the Philippines shall consist of a Govemcr General, appointed by the Presi dent; a Cabinet appointed by the Governor General, a general Advisory Council, elected by tho people, the qualifications of electors to be carefully considered and de termined, and the Governor General to have an absolute veto."
