Banner nf the ailed Hlales,
MANILA, Api.l 2ll.-The following ia
Aguiniildu'a address to the Filipino peo
ple, made public last evening:
"I believe I am not in error ill presum
ing thut the unhappy fate to which mv
adverse fortune has ltd ine is not u sur
prise to those who have been familiar
wUh the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with n full meaning, and
which have reccn'.ly come to my knowl
edge, suggest with ii resistible force thut
a complete termination of hostilities and
lasting peace nre not only desirable, but
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
Philippine islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed nt their weakness, nor faltered
in following the path pnintud out by their
fortitude and courage. The time has
come, however, in which they find their
advance along this path to he impeded
by nn irresistible fore", which, while it
restrains them, yet enlightens their minds
and opens to them another course, pre
senting them the cause of pence. This
cause has been joyfully embraced by the
majority of my fellow countrymen who
have ulreudy united atoiind the glorious
sovereign banner of the I'nited States.
In this banner they repose their trust
and believe Hint under its protection the
Filipino people will attain nil those
promised liberties which they nre
ginning to enjoy. The country has de
clared iinmistnkably in favor of mace.
So be it. There has been enough blood.
euoiiL'h tears and enough desolation.
This wish cannot Ik- ignored by the men
till in arms if they are animated by a
desire to serve our noble people which
has thus clearly inai.ifcsted its will. So
do I respect this will, now that it is
known to me.
"After mature deliberation I resolute
ly proclaim to the world that I cannot
refuse to heed the voice of a people long
ing for pence, nor the lamentations of
thousands of families yearning to see
their dear ones enjoying the liberty nnd
the promised generosity of the great
Ameiii'un nation.
"By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the I'nited States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as I now
do, and without any reservation whatso
ever, I believe thut I am serving the,
my beloved country. Mny happiness be
thine."
To sigunlize this important step in the
pacification of the country General Mae
Arthur orders the release on swearing al-
Icgiunce to the I'nited States of 1.IKKI In

tion to inuke before the opening of the
big fair on tho 1st of Mny.
The nuvy department's exhibit promt-
si's well on account of a number of new

Secretary Long has authorized the use
of a company of murines, fully equipped

The exhibit of the state department hns
been shipped nnd is new on the ground.
Colonel Michael, chief clerk of the state
department, who is nt lienil of the gov

lenve Washington Monday for Buffalo.
All the bureaus of the department will

REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, April 20.-Bradstreefs
review of trade says:
Chl, rainy we.i'her, with its concom
itant of bud roads, has been uufavurali'e
to distributive tiade this week, special
complaint coming from the ccutiu! uno
west and parts of the northwest. A sim
ilar retarding -fleet upou crop planting
is noted at the South, where cotton aiei
corn cultivation and gcrmiuatum are re
ported from one lo tw-i weeks lute. With
thi-se exceptions, however, trne develop
ments of the week huve been in the main
favorable.
The current large volume of general
business and the enoimous sue of the
financial operations now proceeding are
reflected in record breaking clearings
not confined, however, to speeul.' cen
ters, but reported from all reel ' th
country. Current gross rn" ii iiti-rs
continue favorable, thou . t l.o -.tio of

better position occupied by the agricul

dustries n. w, as computed with a year
ago. Practically all of the $S7.")o0.000
increase in exports for nine months over
a year ago iB accounted for by increased
shipments of urcadstufTa, cattle, provis
ions and cotton, but manufactured goods,
though going abroad iu smaller volume
than a year ago, still iaaiutuio an ac
tive movement.
There are few notable changes In
prices this week, cer uls having fluctua
ted within a narrow range. The feature
ill the iron trade, aside from the contin
ued actively and uu-gressive strength of
prices, hns been the appurent breuking
awav of the strike clouds which have
menaced that industry.
