1 r SOIANTOX. PA., FRIDAY MOKN1NG. SEPTEMBER 30, 1808. TWO CENTS. TWO CENTS. FATE OF THE , PHILIPPINES Spanish Rule in tbc Is lands Must he Ended. THE BRIGHT ST,R OF HOPE A Report That ur Peace Coinnils sioners Havr JExpUcit Instruc tions to 'JWM- Effect Senator Chandler 2onlirEis It future Government of thf: Archipelago Undetermined Qen. Oreene on the Filpinoh lie Tells the Presi dent I'hey Are Incapable of Oov crni'g Themselves An American Pr'tectorate. Washington, Sept. 29. lien close to the administration are making the statement that the Philippines will not be subjected again to tho oppressive rule of Spain. It is reported authori tatively that the American peace com mlsslsoners received explicit Instruc tions that Spain must surrender sov ereignty over the islands, and though the future government of the archipe lago is still unsettled, it is the gen eral belief that the United States will nssume at least a protectorate over It. Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, a member of the foreign rela tions committee of the senate, who has been several days in Washington, said today: "f am thoroughly convinced that Spanish rule in the Philippines in at an end. Thai has bcn my convic tion for some time, but that conviction is now a certainty. There is no other course open for the administration but to demand that Spain abandon all claim to the islands. That is to bo done, Spain herself Is aware of It, and all her quibbling is to be for the pur pose of making any bargain possible with the hope of obtaining a money indemnity for a portion of the archi pelago. Without control of the trado of the Island of Luzon there is no ben efit which Spain can hope to obtain by retaining the remainder of the archi pelago. Almost all the revenue of the Philippines emanates from that island. In the past the islands have been in a state of successful rebellion, which Spain has been unable to subdue, and to retain control of them it would be necessary for her to send there a navy, which she has not, and an army, which Fhe has no money to maintain." GEN. GREENE'S INTERVIEW. General Greene, in his Interview with the president, gave .the executive a favorable Impression of the Filipinos and their leader, Agulnaldo. He de scribed them as a courageous but tract able people, with much natural shrewd ness; and tho possibility of develop ment Into good citizens of a fair gov ernment. But he did not regard them as ready for self-government, because they had not reached that stage of civilization where men can put aside factional strife to work for the com mon good. They were united against Spain because Spain represented to them the power of oppression. He did not regard it as safe to leave the Fili pinos to self-government, he added, nor to hand them back Into the oppressive power of Spain. There must be some other outside power to control, for a time at least, and it was not difficult tn select the power to do that. The Filipinos have a friendly feeling to ward the United States and would sub mit to government by this country more readily than to any other. The gen eral believes that In the future they might redch n state of civilization which would make them capable of such self-government us would be ex pected of a territory or a colony of the Tnltfd States. He regards them as a nomewhat higher type than the Cubans nnd believes they will be ready for self government as soon as the Cubans or Porto Ricuns. MILITARY PROMOTIONS.

Applicant to Act as Preacher and Consul. Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 29. Arrange ments have been completed for the formation of a force of Cuban mount ed police for tho province of Santiago. It consists of u commandant with tho rank of major, three captains, six lieutenants, ten sergeants and 210 en listed men. The rates of pay of the enlltted men are the same us in the United States army, while tho officers get two-thirds. General Castillo has charge of the preliminaries of the np polittmcnts. He must select capable men who have only served in the Cu ban army, and the officers must have held similar or a higher rank In the Cuban army. This police force will have a largo territory to cover and It is expected that as soon as the Cuban troop3 disband the lawless element will break loose and will have to bo kept In check. Even nt present quantities of cattle are stolen and complaints are frequent to both General Wood and General Castillo, and they are deter mined to put an end to this state of affairs.

On the other side, the Amer ican commission, before leaving, re ceived from President McKinley very precise instructions, trom which me commissioner cannot depart. The fol lowing Is the text of those Instructions: " 'First Spain cedes absolute sov ereignty over the whole of the Island of Luzon. " 'Second The other Islands of the archipelago may be replaced under the dominion. of Spain-on condition that a liberal government Js accorded to tho inhabitant; " 'Third Complete separation of church and state In the Philippines. " Fourth Spain cannot cede any other Islands In the group to any for eign power without the"co'n!--ent of the I'nlted States. " Fifth The United States shall en joy for all time the same commercial privileges as the most favored nations, not excepting Snnln herself.'
