WAR sscRETARY's REPORT



synopsis OF the Document.
President Mckinley has received {
synopsis OF Secretary Roots annua
report, which he Is now considering IL
connection with his message TO con.
gress. Dealing as 10 does with all the
events of the last year in connection
with the Philippines, Cuba and Porte
Rice and in the discussion and recon
mendation for the future government
OF these new possessions, IL will form
the basis of the most important chap
ter OF the presidents message.

features of the secretary's observa-
tions and recon m~cndations.
The immediate appointment Of civil
governors for Cuba and Porto Rico.
The substitution, Of civil government
either by commission or a civil gov
crnor for the Philippines, Immediately
following the suppression of the pres
cnt instruction.
A complete grant Of suffrage in the

educational and property qualifications
required for all voters.
The immediate construction Of n Gu
Bile between the United States and the

army will be recommended by the sec
rotary ut the present time. He will
leave this subject open for further
consideration until after the war in
the Philippines has been brought to a
close. IL will be pointed out, however,
that the retention Of the bulk Of the
present army will be necessary for
some months to come. The secretary
will be very urgent in his recommend
ations for the immediate construction
OF u cable line to the Philippines. Dur
ing the past year the war department
