And that the President be further requested to communicate, without
delay, so much of such information as is now in his possession or in
that of any Department at Washington, without waiting to obtain so much
of said information as may require considerable delay or communication
with the Philippine Islands, and to communicate the remainder of the
information as soon thereafter as it can be obtained,
I transmit herewith the following papers:
First. Copies of all communications which have been received by me, or
by any Department or officer, civil or military, from Aguinaldo, or any
other person undertaking to represent the people in arms against the
United States in the Philippine Islands, or any alleged government or
public authority of said people, and copies of all replies to such
communications, so far as such communications and replies have been
reported to me or to any Executive Department. Said copies of documents
are appended hereto marked "I."
Second. Copy of instructions relating to a proclamation sent to General
Otis and of the proclamation issued by General Otis pursuant thereto.
