Spain's Reconquest of the Phil
ippines Almost Impossible.
YEARS OF CRUEL WARFARE
Spaniards and Priests Are Anxious for
Annexation to the United States.
Majority Of IL in the Ma
tional Assembly.

Manila, Sept. 1s-In an interview
with him by the correspondent of the
associated press, Archbishop Dosal of
the Philippine Islands said: II earn
estly hope the islands will not remain
| Spanish. because the rebels are now so
strong that such a course would inev-
itably cause appalling bloodshed. The
reconquest of the natives is impossible
until after years of most cruel war
fare
He also expressed the hope that the
| Islands would not become absolutely
independent, because it was certain
| that dissensions would occur which
would result in incessant strife and a
lapse into barbarism and the natural
incidence of the tropical race The on
~ nope, the archbishop declared, was
that strong Western power would in
tervene now. Delay was dangerous.
because the people are intoxicated,
VainSlorious and restless
He said IL was undeniable that the
religious orders must go, because the
whole people had determined to abol-
lsh them now that they were able to
render their retention impossible. He
lay the chief blame upon the Domini-
cans. Augustines and Franciscan Re
celetants, the richest orders and next
upon the Benedictines and Capuchins
which are of less Importance. The Je-
suits, Archbishop Dosal says, are COM
paratively blameless. He added that
the rival orders quarrel among them
selves, intrigue, act unworthy and
slander their opponents, thus increas-
ing their general disfavor The pro-
Nincials, who are approximately equiv
alent to archdeacons, are mainly re-
sponsible. They are utterly beyond the
control of the archbishop, who denies
possessing much power.
The total number of Spanish priests
In the Philippines before the war was
about 1000, but lately every departing
steamer has taken so or 100 of them
away and now barely so remain.
Several responsible Spaniards assur-
ed the correspondent that they would
refuse TO remain here II Spain was re-
instated in TIE control of the islands
Many of the Spanish soldiers refuse TO
serve again and Suanish officers are ut
terly disgusted with the rottenness of
Spain's government and prefer to be-
come American subjects
