PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.
May Be Necessary to Restrain the
Insurgents By Force.


Washington, Aug. 3.-An interesting
question and one of vital Importance to
the administration is the attitude to be
assumed by the United States toward
the Philippine insurgents, in the event
that we reach an agreement for the
suspension of hostilities with Spain. 1t
is stipulated in our peace terms that
the United States military forces shall
occupy and establish a military form
of government of the city of Manila
and the bay, with the surrounding ter
ritory. This involves an immediate sur
render of the Spanish forces, not to
Aguinaldo, but TO General Merritt, and
there is apprehension that the insur-
gents will resent this very bitterly, and
that it will be necessary to eXpel them
forcibly from the territory described.
Beyond this, it is said in some guar
tiers that pending the decision of the
peace commissioners as to the future
of the Philippines, the United States
will be morally bound to maintain the
statu quo in the island at large.
In other words. having deprived Spain
of the means of resisting the on
slaughts of the insurgents. it has beee
urged that the United States would be
bound to prevent the latter from coz
tinuing their warfare.
There is a lack of information in
Washington on many important points
as to the conditions in the Philippines.
For instance, it is not known, even ap-
proXimately how extensive the revolU-
Iionary movement has been through
out the vast group of 1920 islands, and
among the large population, estimated
TO aggregate between 5000, 900 and TO-
600, 000 If the revolutionary movement
is general and extends to very many
of the islands, the task presented to
the United States military and naval
authorities will be one of great magni-
tude. in the event that it is decided to
be incumbent on us not to restore
Spanish sovereignty where it has been
lost. but to prevent its overthrow in
sections where it is still supreme. and
to prevent excuses and outrages al the
hands of the insurgents.

Prisoners Are Well Treated.

New York, Aug. 3.-The Washington
correspondent of the Tribune says: As
early as the middle of May the military
authorities in conference at Washing
ton, both General Miles and General
Merritt being present, carefully studied
all conceivable phases of the estab-
lishment of an American protectorate
over the Philippine group and agreed
that the minimum strength of the
United States land forces that would be
essential was as follows:
For garrison Of Philippines, 100000
men; for garrison of Luzon island
alone, $4,000 men; for garrison of Ma
Mia alone. $4,000 men.
These estimates were based upon the
assumption that for a considerable per-
iod at least after the expulsion of the
Spaniards all the native leaders would
exhibit their gratitude to the Ameri-
cans by heartily supporting the new
order of things From the best infor
nation that could be obtained regard
ing the habits and characteristics of
the natives. Generals Miles and Merritt,
as well as the other army officers who
discussed the matter, were convinced
that whether the American occupation
was to be for one year or i've years,

agreed that while Sucn a force might

had been the case with army garrisons
several years ago in the far west, the
natives could no more be relied upon to

any great length of time than the
American Indians in former days, and

THIEF in A BANK VAULT.
Entered at Noon and Made a Big
Haul.

Sedalia, Mo-, Aug. 3.-The Bank of
Commerce was the victim of a sneak
thief at the noon hour Monday, and Il
is almost certain rich haul was made,
although President John ]. Yeater and
Cashier Adam Ittel refused to divulge
the amount of the loss. While either
Mr.. Yeater or Ittel was al the cashier
window the thief made his way through
a side door into the directors room, in
the rear of the bank proper, and then
stepped inside of the railing. from
where he took only a couple of steps
into the banks vault, where he helped
himself
1t was two or three hours before the
theft was discovered, and not until yes
terday was the case placed in the hands
of Manager Hurst of the Thiel detec-
tive agency, Kansas City. Hurst came
to Sedalia on the first train. and at his
suggestion Chief of Police Prentice at
once arrested John Names, an adver-
Using solicitor from Terre Haute, Ind,
who had been in the bank at about
the noon hour Monday, soliciting an
advertisement for a railway publica-
ton. Names bears good credentials
He is, however, being held pending an
investigation.
The job was undoubtedly the work of
an expert, and the bank officials de-
clare that whoever got the money had
an accomplice. the latter engaging the
attention Of the cashier while the other
robbed the vault.

PRIZES FOR DEWEY.
Nine Spanish Gunboats VIII Be Cap
tured By the Admiral

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-A special to
the Chronicle from Cavite, dated June
%, says: There are nine little Span
ish gunboats scattered about this and
the Caroline group of islands, and when
Manila has been stormed Admiral
Dewey will turn his attention to their
capture or destruction. AS near as can
be ascertained these are distributed as
follows:
In the Pasig river, Manila, gunboats
Cebu, lamar or Samar and Bulusan;
at Iloilo, gunboats Ell Cano; at Fam
bOanga, gunboat Pampanga; at Blala-
bac, gunboat Calamaaes; at Ponape,
Caroline Islands. gunboat Quiros; at
zap, Caroline Islands, gunboat Villa
Lobos.
OF these vessels named Ell Cano is
the largest and best. Admiral Dewey
planned to send the Baltimore after her
some time ago, but decided, in view of
the danger of a second fleet coming
from Spain. that it would be well to
keep his defense intact.
1t is probable that two of the vessels
sunk by Dewey's fleet may yet be
raised and rendered serviceable.
