The commission sums up the situation
at the time of their departure as follows:
when we left Manila large volume Of
business was being done, and the streets
were so crowded as to be hardly safe. The
native population was quiet and orderly
and all fear of an uprising had cong since
passed. An efficient corps of native police
men was on duty. A system of public
schools in which English was taught, had
been advocated by the commission and es-
tablished by Gen. Otis. Some 5000 schoi-
airs we're in attendance.
In the Tagalog province of Luzon.
where the anti-American feeling had been
strongest, public sentiment had greatly
changed. as evidenced by the fact that the
military governor of Ba angas had offered
to surrender his troops and his province, IL
we would only send a small force there
The Bocoloo in Southern Luzon had risen
against their Tagalog masters. The Mac
abebes were clamoring for an opportunity
TO fight in our ranks, and native soldiers
and scouts were already serving under
Gen. Lawton. Stories of the corruption
of insurgent officers were becoming daily
more common, and the disintegration Of
the enemy's forces was steadily progress
ing The hope Of assistance from outside
source seemed TO be all that held them TO-
gether"
In the other Islands.
Having given so much attention to the
Island of IAuzon, the commission then
takes up in detail the conditions in the
other Islands. On this point IL is stated
that rebellion Is essentially Tagalog, and
that when II ends in Luzon it must eud
throughout the archipelago.
Special attention is given to the Island Of
Negros, as this seemed field well adapt

One of the closing chapters of the report
is devoted 10 a tribute 10 our soldiers and
sailors in the war" The commission says
that the presence of Admiral Dewey as a
member of this body makes il uniting to
dwell on its personal achievements, but
he Joins in the eulogy of his comrades.
The commission witnessed some OF the
many brave deeds of our sold ers and they
declare that all that skin, courage and a
patent endurance can do, has been dane
in the Philippines. They dismiss!the re-
ports Of the desecrating of churches. the
numbering of prisoners and the commit
ting of uncomfortable crimes, and say
they are glad to express the belief that a
war was never more humanely conducted.
The commission gives a general view OF
the value of the islands. their richness In
agricultural and forest products, their
| mineral wealth and their commanding ge-
