HOW ENGLAND WILL PROFIT IN
THE PHILIPPINES

The news from the Philippines, reaching
London through private sources. Is not
encouraging. Speculation has begun as to
whether the United States, in the long
run. will find the game worth the candle
Of holding and governing their new East
ern possessions, says Arnold White in
Harper's Weekly. While 1t Is no part of
the functions of a judlcious London cor
respondent to give his own views on pub
lie affairs, he falls in his duty If ne omts
to notice any qualified body Of opinion
touching great American interests. even
when opposed to the sentiments prevailing
across the water Trustworthy evidence has
reached me that the situation in the
Philippines Is graver than Is represented
in the English press, and that further re-
endorsements on a large scale will be ne
cessary before the United States can set
tie down to the peaceful enjoyment of
their Eastern empire. According to the
Information on which I rely, a force of
10000 men will be required before Ameri-
can possessions in Aisa are at peace-a
force about equal to the white garrison of
British India. The cost OF despatohing
and maintaining such an army for one
year, together with the necessary admin
istration. will scarcely be less than $50,

OPIUM IN THE PHILIPPINES.

What water Is to the caribao opium is to
the Chinaman. Unless the Chinese were
allowed opium the belly of the army
might starve and the rifle want for am
munition. Every Chinaman whether in the
supply train or in the hospital corps, is
not a John" as he is in the States, or a
boy" as he is in the English settlements
in China. but a "Cheeno": and the
"Cheero," like the caribxo which he
drives, prefers to live on the country If
we would allow IT, But Uncle Sam in his
goodness OF heart brings rice out from
Manila for him, while he leaves undis-
turbed, to be returned to their future own
ers, such stores as the insurgents have not
burned. A little rice and a few smokes a
day and a "Cheeno" manages to keep pace
with the caribao, and at other times bear
burdens that would break a Filipino S
back. The Yankee drivers do not under
stand his language and he does not under
stand theirs. The teamster swears and
gesticulates. and the Chinaman "savey5

Tolls under the shade of a cart he is sure
TO be up by the time that the "Boss"-he
knows that much American English-is
within striking distance. From what they
have seen in the hospital corps our officers
are convinced the Chinese under white Of
tcers will make fine soldiers. They will
follow the white doctor into the most dan
gerous places on the field. Without the
white mans moral support they yell and
run. When one cried out In his dream at
O'Clock in the morning, two-thirds of our
carbao drivers thought that the F1lipinoe
were upon them. In their fright some
jumped into the river. Our soldiers In
fishing them out forgot the discomfort OF
being awakened and nearly bursted theii
sides with laughter But they have cause
for their fears. After squeezing all his
money out of a thrifty Chinaman. the
