Gen, White detalled Maj.

Gen. White was with his center, where an artillery duel was proceed- ing from 5:20 until 6:30 o'clock. The Boer leaders upon the hills for hours courageously directed the men and guns, and, to relieve the pressure, mounted Boers streamed to attack Maj. Adxe’s column and regain the ground they ha® lost in the center. They brought with them. as did the enemy engaged in other parts of the fight. some field batteries of the smal! Maxim type.

In an Interview Prof. Schurman Indi- cates That He Favors Self-Gov- ernment Under American Protectorate. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The preliminary report of the Philippine Commiss‘ton, made to the President and given to the public to-day, is disappointing. It does not in ex- plicit terms cover the vital question, the one in which the American people are mvoSt interested—the future government of the islands. It makes no recommendations for the fu- ture, other than that the war must be prosecuted to c successful ending. The one point meade clear is that Ad- miral Dewey did not promise, on behalf of his Government, independence to the Filipinoe. The other features of the report are: That Aguinaldo forced the war upon the United States. , That there was no time after Deweys victory over the Spaniards when it was pos- sible to withdraw our forces That the insurrection is confined to six provinces of Luzon, with a population of only 1,500,000. That the Filipinos are not, at the pres- ent time, capabie of eeif-government. The report is a summary of conditions on the islands, as the commission left them, of the historical events which preceded the Spanish war and led to the original Filipino insurrection; of the exchange be- tween Admiral Dewey and the other Amer'- can commanders and the insurgents; the breaking out and progress of the present insurrection, and finally a statement of the capacity of the Filipinos for self-govern- ment. In explanation of his report, Prof. Schur- man said to-day: “As soon as the Tagalo insurrection is suppressed the United States should im- mediately establish a government, to be administered at first under the direction of the War Department, but by successive stages to finally be placed in the hands of the Filipinos under American sovereignty. My idea is that there should be eee tego self-government—a gradual development of home government as the Filipino becomes more experienced in political affairs and sufficiently educated to understand the questions with which he has to deal. “What the character of this government should be is a matter which has not been touched upon by the committee in its pre- liminary statement. I will not say that it has not been‘considered, for it has. It is proposed to deal carefully with this mat- ter in the report of the committee. I should think that at first there should be a Gov- ernor-General appointed by the Presideast, who should be assisted in administering the affairs of the island by a cabinet com- posed of representative men of the several tribes. This woula eventually develop into the legislature of the archipelago. The prov- inces should be administered by Americans or by educated Filipinos under American guidance, and the cities and towns by Mayors elected by the people, possessing certain educational or property qualifica- tions or both, as may be determined. It seems to me that the constitution prepared for the island of Negros by the committee is an excelNent instrument to consider in connection with the government to be given to the island of Luzon,” Admiral Dewey said of the report: “Tl indorse every work of the commis- sion’s admirable report. I can say this with perfect propriety, for the reason that I did not write it. It was written by the literary members of the fe : Sins tenens oe to the lowest. As to this ‘The Fillpinos are not a nation, but a va- riegated gag, of different tribes and peopie; and the oyalt tribal type.”’ + doyaiy is still of the Concerning their intellectual the commission says: “As to the general intellec of the Filipinos the commission is drues to rate them high. But excepting in a lim- ited number of persons these capacities have not been developed by education or experience. The masses of the people are uneducated, That intelligent public opinion on which popular government rests does not exist in the Philippines.y And it cannot exist until education has elevated the masses, broadened their intellectual hori- zon and disciplined their faculty of judg- ment.

The most that can be expected of them ifs to co-operate with the Americans In the administration of general affairs from Manila as a eenter and to un- dertake, subject to American control or guidance (as may be founda necessary), the administration of provincial and municipal affairs.
