Bsiiner of the t sited Hiatus.
MANILA, Apt.l 2".-The following is
Aguiunlilu's address to the Filipino peo
ple, made public last evening:
I believe I am not in error in presum
ing that the unhappy fate to which mv
adverse fortune has lid me is not a sur
prise to those who have been familiar
wUh the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with a full meaning, and
which have recently collie to my knowl
edge, suggest with itresistible force that
a complete termination of hostilities and
lasting peace are not only desirable, but
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
Philippine islands.
"The Filipinos have neyer been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor faltered
in following the path poiutud out by their
fortitude and courage. The time has
come, however, in which they find their
advance along this path to lie Impeded
by an 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
cnue lias bi-en joyfully embraced by the
majority of my fellow coiiutrymeii who
have already united atound the glorious
sovereign banner of the I'liited States.
In this banner they repose their trust
and believe that under its protection the
rilipiuo people will iillaiu all those
promised liberties which they are
ginning to enjoy. The country hns de
clared unmistakably in favor of peace.
So be It. There has been enough blood,
enough tears and em ugli desolation.
This w ish cnniiot be ignored by the men
still in arms If thy ure animated by a
desire to serve our noble people which
has thus clearly nmi.it. sted 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 peace, lor the lamentations of
thousands of families yeurniug to see
their dear ones enjoying the liberty urn!
the promised generosity of the great
American nation.
By acknowledging ami accepting the
sovereignty of the l nited States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as I now
do, and without any reservation whatso
ever. I believe that I inn serving the.
my lioloved country. May happiness be
thine."
To signalize this importnut step In the
pacification of the country General Mae
Arthur orders the release on swearing al
legiance to the I'liited States of 1.IKKI in

REVIEW OF TRADE.
tlraditreet's Report ou Conditions of Trade
Throughout the Country.
XEW YORK, April 20.-Bradstreefs
review of trade says:
Cld, rainy we.i'her, with its concom
itant of bad roads, has beeu unfavorable
tu distributive tiade this week, special
complaint coming from the ceutiul uno
west and parts of the northwest. A sim
ilar retarding -fliH-t upon crop planting
is noted at the South, where cotton aim
corn cultivation and gonuiiiatuin are re
ported from one to tw j weeks lute. ith
these exceptions, however, trawe develop
ments of the week have beeu ill the main
favorable.
The current large volume of general
business and the enotmous size of the
financial operations now proceeding are
reflected in record breaking, clearings
not confined, however, to specnl.' cen
ters, but reported from all red the
country. Current gross rn;' ii iinTs
continue favorable, tlmu i i..i .tin of
gains is not as great us m r-ei ..tly u.b

foreign trade the feature Ib the relatively
belter position occupied by the agricul
tural, rather thau the manufacturing, in
dustries now, as coiupnied with a year
ago. Practically all of the $S7.IMMJ,000
increase ill exports for nine months over
a year ago is accounted for by increased
shipments of br adstuffs, cattle, provis
ions and cotton, but manufactured goods,
though going abroad in smaller volume
than a year ago, still maintain an ac
tive movement.
There are few notable changes In
prices this week, cer-als having fluctua
ted within a narrow range. The feature
in the iron trade, aside from the contin
ued actively and uggicssive strength of
prices, hns been the apparent breaking
awav of the strike clouds which have
nu-miced that industry.
rnsatisfai torv weather reports, heavy
rains, high winds und cold retarding the
