(De xEl Liberals, de Madrid J

Las noticias recibidas ell 26 de Octu-
bre de Filipinas aeusan alguna gravedad,
al revelar por una parte La extrana osa-
dfa de los rebeldes que Sc levantan Y
forman partidas dentro de las zonas ocu-
padas por nuestros destacamentos, Y al
poner en- evidencia su decision EN- ell
ataque.
Los que sc vanagloriaban de conocer
mas 4 fondo ell caracter de los mestizos
V les negaban EN- absolute toda aptitud
para oponer resistencia, eontaban con
que La llegada de los primeros batallo-
mes que fueran de la Peninsula, bastarfa
para contener La rebeldfa aventarla.
No Sc crefa siquiera que los soldados
europeos necesitaran disparar sus ar
mas; sc decfa que ell efecto moral pro-
ducido por su presencia bastarfa para
que las cosas volvieran al estado nor

No ha ocurrido, por desgracia, asf,
no obstante la prontitud con que Sc acu-

mediatamente varios batallones, bien sc
observa que 10 inico que Sc ha podido
lograr hasta ahora, ha sido impedir que
los rebeldes de la provincial de Cavite,
los cuales tienen invadida parte de la
provincial de Batangas, Sc den la mano
por la Laguna Tayabas, con los que
ocupan los montes de Morong.
La misma inaccion que Sc ven redu-
cidas las tropas que tenemos en- Cavite,
reforzadas, 81 no estamos equivocados,
con uno de los primeros batallones de
Marina que partieron de la Peninsula y
probablemente con alguno de. los proce-
denies de Mindanao, indica bien clara
mente la fuerza que ha conseguido reu-
mir La insurreccion en- esta provincial.
Sin abultar nj aminorar La importan-
cia de los hechos, entendemos que la
situacion es tai como la dejamos expues-
ia en- pocas palabras, creemos tambi6n
que cuando surgen diticultades de tama-
ia importancia, Sc adelanta mucho apre-
ciandolas desde luego en- toda su mag

Cuando Sc trata de veneer una resis-
tencia, de cualquier genera que sea, 10
primero que debe hacerse es calcular su

habra de emplearse en- dominarla. De
