Civil Rule in the Philippines

ADVICES from Washington state that the entire Philippine archipelago will be placed under the control of the civil authorities on July 4. The present military governor will remain as commander of the department of the Philippines, but the military are to be everywhere subordinate to the civil authorities. The Moros are to be allowed to continue their tribal relations for the time being, and are to be governed under practically the same conditions as the American Indians. General amnesty to the political prisoners in the Philippines is also to be declared on that date.
