In

of three separate orders and procla
mations—one b.v the president over
his own signature extending amnesty
one through Secretary Hoot, by the
president's order, relieving General
Chaflco from his duties as military
governor, and a third which takes the
shape of a general order addressed to
the entire armv of the Imlted States,
in which Soerlarv Hoot takes occasion
to express the president high appre
ciation of the work it has accomplish
ed. both iu Cuba and in the Philip
pines.
Conditions of tho Amno8ly,
There are some conditions to the
amnesty proclaimed, which are as fol
lows:
Provided, however, that the pardon
and amnestv hereby granted shall not
includo such persons committing
crimes since Mav 1, IDOiJ, in any pro
vince of the archipelago hi which at
the time civil government was estab
lished, nor slml it include such persons
as have been heretofore finally con
victed of the crlmes-of murder, rape,
arson or robbery by any military or
civil tribunal organized under the au
thority of Spain or of the XTnlted States
of America, but for which special ap
plication may be made to the proper
authority for pardon by any persou
belonging to the excepted classes, and
such clemency as is consistent with
humanity and justice will be liberally
extended."
nst Also Take tho Oath.
Another condition of amnesty Is
"that every person who shall seek to
avail himself of this proclamation shall
take and subscribe the following oath
before any authority in the Philippine
archipelago authorized to administer
oaths, namely: 'I, ^—, sol
emnly swear [or affirm] that I recog
nize and accept the supreme authority
of the United States of America in
the Philippine Islands, and will main
tain true faith and nlleglance thereto
that I impose upon myself this obliga
tion voluntarily, without mental reser
vation or purpose of evasion, so help
me God."
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE POPE
Undo bam Present* a Proposition to III)
Holiness
Rome, July 5.—The United States
envoy here has delivered to the Vati
can a proposition for the settlement
of the land and friar questions in the
Philippines. The note objects to the
Vatican's proposal to have the new
apostolic delegute at Manila settle tho
question of the religious orders, of
which Judge Taft remarks: "Thus
would be lost the advantages expected
from a/direct contract 'clearly deter
mining the principal lines upon which
co-operation between the church and
state may be assured." The note then
proposes that the United States will
purchase the lands of the Dominicans
and Augustlnians at a price to be de
termined by arbitration, the price to
be paid In Mexican dollars.
The former Spanish crown lands
now in possession of the United States
government, on whicn there are eccle
siastical buildings, are to be banded
over to an ecclesiastical official ap
pointed by the Vatican. The ordinary
courts are to decide concerning the
land retained by the church, but
claimed by the municipalities. Cases
of disagreement shall be submitted to
the arbitration of the same arbitrators,
who shall also decide the San Jose
foundation case, now pending before
the supreme court ot the Philippines.
The United States Is to pay an indcrn
nlty for the buildings used by troops,
but nothing is to be paid until the title
deeds are in the hands of the Philip
pine government.
All friars of the four orders must
withdraw within two years of the first
payment. A small number Is to con
tinue during that time to look after
the schools and universities, but nil of
them must go—half during nine
months from the first payment and
half eighteen months later, not includ
ing friars who have not raised the hos
tility of the natives and who remained
In their parishes after the revolution
of 1808 till now, except those In Ma
nila. No Spanish friars may be sub
stituted for those withdrawn.
The note reminds tne Vatican that
the orders still publish a paper In Ma
nila which Is anti-United States and
anti-Philippine, but pro-Spanish, and
that the orders possess property In Ma
nila to the value of nearly 0,000,000
Mexican dollars, while that of the Ito
man Catholic church Is only valued at
3,500,000 Mexican dollars.
