The nil pi no Junta, rcpresentatlvea of General Aguinaldo and the Filipino govern nacot here, have drawn up what they designate "an appeal to President Mc Klnley and the American people," but what la In reality rather in the nature f an arraignment of America a actlooi In the Philippine). The memorial aayai "We, the ITong Kong repreaentatlrea of our country ten, appeal to the great and good judgment of President McKlnley and the spirit of fairneM and Justness of the American people ae it Is always bown in their regard for the peti tions of the weak and oppressed. "While the fate of the islands la still sndecldud and we are doing all in our power to prevent a conflict between the Amerlouns and Filipinos await Ing patiently the conclusion of the Paris conference we implore the In tervention of the President, supported by the will of the people, to end the lights shown our leaders, soldiers ami people by some of the American mill tary and naval officers, although we 'do not wish to wrong Admiral Dewey or General Otis." ' The memorial then avers that "false reports are spread broadcast, alleging that the Filipinos are responsible for all the friction, points out that the tension is greater every day, and any moment a shot may be fired by an lr (responsible American or Filipino sol idler leading to great bloodshed, "and .beseeches the United States to help the junta to control our own people by directing American officials at Manila ito temper their actions with friend jsblp, justice and fairness." "From the commencement of the (hostilities," continues the memorial, "the Filipinos acceded to all the Amer ican requests; but after bottling tip the Spaniards in Manila the Filipinos .were completely ignored when the Americans advanced and thus deprived jof the fruits of victory. Mow after jnonths of campaigning the Filipino troops have been ordered beyond the suburb where they have no quarters 'and where supplies are difficult to obtain. All our launches have been jseized because of foolish rumors that we would attack the Americans, and when we asked explanations we were mot even answered. The Spaniards, of late the enemies of the Americans, bave been shown every consideration, ;wblle the Filipinos, their friends and Allies, are often treated as enemiea " After asserting that Filipinos uni formly acted upon the advice of the Americans and were informally recog nized by them until Manila was cap tared, the memorial goes on to says j "We can only attribute this sudden change to orders from Washington to 'American officials at Manila to avoid compromising the American govern tnent by a recognition of the Filipinos or their government The Americans 'are carrying out these instructions literally, losing sight of the former 'friendlv intercourse and assistance land -of i the endurances the American jofllclals gave General Aguinaldo, which be communicated to his followers. "We await tho arbitrament of the peace commission with even greater Interest than the Americans, because :lt concerns our land, our happiness land our freedom. lu the meantime we hall pray for peace and a perfect snderstandlng with the Americans."

"The return to their homes and fsm (lies of many of the soldiers who have fought the!.' country's battles gives special cause for thnnk striving. The early and safe return of those yet remaining in camp and on the battle field will be prayed for by all, Many homes, saddened by the death in the cause of humanity of those near and dear, will be made brighter by the thought that they gave up their lives thst others might be made happier nd permitted to enjoy the blessings of free government Let us pray and believe that the great good don to suffering humanity by the Interven tfon of American arms has not been displeasing In the sight of God, even though resort was had to the stern arbitrament of war to accomplish such restilte.

WILL BE NO HASTY ACTION. rerte Blee a4 the ThlHppimm WIS Re kStetalaed fader Military Oovereaaaat Velll CoraaslMlon IJave fall laves tlSaUC the bleeds. Waswtot, Nov. la, President McKlnley has developed his policy to ward Porto Uioo and the Philippines, lie will save the country from the blunders of hasty action and will de lay the final decision for ft year. One of tho President's most intimate ad visers gives the following outline of bis program: The conquered Islands will bo con tlnuod under ft strong military gov eminent All fiduciary positions will bo ad ministered by army officers. The island will be kept out of poll tics as much as possible until the American people have had an oppor tunity to study them and tho national sentiment can crystallite as to tho re lation they should bold to f ie United Hlates. Tho islands will probably retain their present systems, but they may bo bolstered by decrees which will insure stability. Ueing in effect military ooloalee, the conquered Island will have tariffs of their own which will bo levied on im ports from the United (Hates ae well s those from other countries. , The United (Hates will collect duties on imports from the Islands the same as though they still belonged to ft for sign sovereignty. The President's program if said to be based on the ground that the Amer ican people arc not aufficlontly in formed about Porto Rico and the Itill ipplnes to decide off hand whether they should be treated as territories or colonies, somewhat after the liritlsh system. Many Americans believe that the nativec of the conquered ialands are not suited to bo taken into full membership into the Union. The President has held that position at least, toward the Filipinos, and his reluctance to take all the Philippines waa based on the various stages of civ ilisation of their inhabitants. The President's program Is based on tbc theory that tho coming session of Congress will be too short and busy to permit legislation for comprehensive system of government for tho con quered islands. Tho appropriation bills and other important measures will absorb most of the time of tho outgoing Congress, and tho construc tion work for the new possessions will go over to the next Congress. There is ft movement to have the present Congress appoint commissions similar to that which visited Hawaii. Their mission will bo to vistt Porto Rico and the Phllipinea, study tho people and I their needs, familiarize themselves with tho special conditions that must be considered and on their return recommend to Congress forms of gov ornment for those islands. President McKlnley has alrsady es tablished ft military government in Porto Ulco and parts of Cuba and the Philippines by virtue of bis authority s commander-in-chief of the army nd navy. It Is by that authority that bs will continue in control until Con gress takes the responsibilities of gov ernment from bis bands. If Congress falls to take the necessary action at the coming abort session, the Presi dent can continue his military man agemcnt until December of neat yea If change is needed in the laws of Porto Rico, in tho opinion of tbc American officers on the ground, the President can order It on moment's notice. With army officers scattered over the Island, all earnestly studying the needs of the situation and report ing to the President, he ean make such adaptations from day to day as may seem deairable, and when Congress takes np the problem year benoc It will find the ground work for a gov ornment well laid. The Porto Riesns will be given a civil government uoder the general supervision of the military power, ana It wilt bo the aim of the President gradually to shape that gov eminent to tbc system of the United btatee.
