Appendix a to address of Hon. Paul Charlton (See page 78). BY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, The President of the United States, did, on the twenty-eighth day of March, nineteen hundred and seven, issue the following Executive Order: "Whereas, By the sixth section of the Act of Congress, approved July first, nineteen hundred and two, entitled 'An Act temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of civil government in the Philippine Islands, and for other purposes,' it was provided That whenever the existing insurrection in the Philippine Islands shall have ceased and a condition of general and complete peace shall have been established therein and the fact shall be certified to the President by the Philippine Commission, the President, upon being satisfied thereof, shall order a census of the Philippine Islands to be taken by said Philippine Commission;' and "Whereas, By the seventh section of said Act it was provided 'That two years after the completion and publication of the census, in case such condition of general and complete peace with recognition of the authority of the United States shall have continued in the territory of said Islands not inhabited by Moros or other non-Christian tribes, and such facts shall have been certified to the President by the Philippine Commission, the President, upon being satisfied thereof, shall direct said Commission to call, and the Commission shall call, a general election for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly of the people of said territory in the Philippine Islands which shall be known as the Philippine Assembly. After said Assembly shall have convened and organized, all the legislative power heretofore conferred on the Philippine Commission in all that part of said Islands not inhabited by Moros or other non-Christian tribes shall be vested in a legislature consisting of two houses- the Philippine Commission and the Philippine Assembly. Said Assembly shall consist of not less than fifty nor more than one hundred members, to be apportioned by said Commission among the provinces as nearly as practicable according to population: Provided, That no province shall have less than one member: And provided further, That provinces entitled by population to more than one member may be divided into such convenient districts as the said Commission may deem best;' and "Whereas, On September eighteenth, nineteen hundred and two, the Philippine Commission certified to me that the insurrection in the Philippine Islands had ceased and that a condition of general and complete peace had been established therein; and Whereas, In pursuance of the provisions of the law above quoted and upon the foregoing due certification and being satisfied of the facts therein stated, on the twenty-fifth day of September, nineteen hundred and two, I ordered a census of the Philippine Islands to be taken by the Philippine Commission; and "Whereas, The census so ordered was taken and announcement of its completion and publication made to the people of the Philippine Islands on March twenty-eighth, nineteen hundred and five; and "Whereas, The Philippine Commission has now certified to me the following resolution: "Whereeas, The census of the Philippine Islands was completed and published on the twenty-seventh day of March, nineteen hundred and five, which said completion and publication of said census was, on the twenty-eighth day of March, nineteen hundred and five, duly published and proclaimed to the people by the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands with the announcement that the President of the United States would direct the Philippine Commission to call a general election for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly, provided that a condition of general and complete peace with recognition of the authority of the United States should be certified by the Philippine Commission to have continued in the territory of the Philippine Islands for a period of two years after said completion and publication of said census; and "Whereas, Since the completion and publication of said census there have been no serious disturbances of the public order save and except those caused by the noted outlaws and bandit chieftains, Felizardo and Montalan, and their followers in the Provinces of Cavite and Batangas, and those caused in the Provinces of Samar and Leyte by the non-Christian and fanatical pulajanes resident in the mountain districts of the said provinces and the barrios contiguous thereto; and Whereas, The overwhelming majority of the people of said Provinces of Cavite, Batangas, Samar, and Leyte have not taken part in said disturbances and have not aided or abetted the lawless acts of said bandits and pulajanes; and Whereas, The great mass and body of Filipino people have, during said period of two years, continued to be law-abiding, peaceful, and loyal to the United States, and have continued to recognize the authority and sovereignty of the United States in the territory of said Philippine Islands: Now, therefore, be it 'Resolved, By the Philippine Commission in formal session duly assembled, That it, said Philippine Commission, do certify, and it does hereby certify, to the President of the United States that for a period of two years after the completion and publication of the census a condition of general and complete peace, with recognition of the authority of the United States, has continued to exist and now exists in the territory of said Philippine Islands not inhabited by Moros or other nonChristian tribes; and be it further Resolved, By said Philipine Commission, That the President of the United States be requested, and is hereby requested, to direct said Philippine Commission to call a general election for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly of the people of said territory in the Philippine Islands, which assembly shall be known as the Philippine Assembly;' "Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, in pursuance of the provisions of the law above cited and being satisfied of the facts certified to me by the Philippine Commission, do hereby direct said Philippine Commission to call a general election for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly of the people of the territory of the Philippine Islands not inhabited by Moros or other nonChristian tribes, which shall be known as the Philippine Assembly. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "The White House, March 28, 1907." Now, therefore, I, James F. Smith, Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, do hereby proclaim the foregoing for the information and guidance of all concerned. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Government of the Philippine Islands to be affixed. Done at the City of Manila this first day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seven. By the Governor-General: JAMES F. SMITH, Governor-General, Per A. W. FERGUSSON, A. W. FERGUSSON, Executive Secretary. |
