NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Aguinaldo's Proclamation: AGUINALDO'S proclamation to the Philip piné people which we publish elsewhere, should certainly carry great weight with the Filipinos if they can be brought to believe that it is in reality, the proclamation of their captured leader and is of a spontaneous nature arid not dictated by the American Authorities. We are told that even in Manila itself grave doubts exist in the minds of the Filipinos as to whether for no it is the real AGUINALDO who has been captured, for since his capture he has been kept in strict seclusion in the palace of the Govemar Ind.access to him. There has been tou, a General and neither reporters nor friends have rumour in circulation to the effect that AGUINALDO had stubbornly refused to sign the proclamation calling upon his people to surrender and this will naturally lend a certain amount of colour to the supposition that the proclamation is not the spontaneous utterance of the Filipine leader, but the composition of the American Authorities and only received AGUINALDO's signature under compulsion.
However, the proclamation has been published in the Manila papers and we must American Authorities appear to hope, the now watch to observe its effects. If, as the proclamation leads to a good understanding being arrived at between the Filipinos and the Americans, then will there be occasion for congratulation.We have repeatedly stated that the whole cause of the trouble in the Philippines was to be found in the fact that the Americans knew little or

The Filipinos when the Americans first came to the islands and overthrew the power of Spain, looked upon them as their deliverers and had matters been discussed and arranged then, it would have saved thousands of lives and millions of dollars which have since been expended in the struggle between the Filipinos and the Americans. But this was not the method pursued The Filipinos were utterly ignored by the Americans so soon as they thought they could do without their help and they, seeing that the Americans had no intention of establishing Filipino independence deter mined, if possible, to uphold it by strength of arms.

Now, however, there appears to be a prospect of this long struggle coming to an end If AGUINALDO is really convinced that it is better for the Filipinos to submit to American rule, we have little doubt but that he is capable of inducing them to lay down their arms. But if he does so the Americans will have to learn that, the Filipinos must receive reasonable treatment. They must not be treated and looked upon as a herd of cattle purchased together with the islands from Spain, but as reasoning beings equally sclves as were the ancestors of the Ameri as capable of thinking and judging for them cans when they lought and gained' 'their independence. The Filipinos will not, we imagine, take kindly to the position of a conquered and inferior race and the Americans will be obliged to use a good deal of tact in their dealings with them: They will find that though hard to drive the Filipino can be easily led once his con fidence has been gained, and it would be greally to the advantage of the United States Authorities if they set about the inaugura- tion of a policy of conciliation at once. In short they must let the people see that there is not one law for the Filipino and another for the American, but that the boasted liberty and equality of all people under the American flag is a reality and not as so many now contend, a myth.
