No greater mistake could De- mad. thu,
TO suppose that Mayor Harrison u..-s

such valiant military service I'm tho Phil

McFarlane to Post reporter. but .r
my opinion. it VIII take at least loaor. Or
more 10 subdue the FiIipinos and hold a.,
islands until final peace IS brought about
and business is restored 10 is normal
condition.
With the present American force jharn
II Will be an impossibility 20 defeat the
EilipinOs- The reason Of this Is that the
insurgents have entirely too much terri
tory IN their rear upon which they can
fall back when pursued by the American.
the latter not having a sufficient force 20
leave behind 10 garrison the ground gain
. ed. There are at least 10000 native night
ing men on the island OF Luzon With thi,
[ force il can easily be seen that while be-
ing pursued the Filipinos can dispatch a
/ large portion of their troops to IN. year
( Of the Americans TO attack the small
( forces of our men LEFT to guard the cap.
/ tured territory. The Americans must Ir-
crease their forces. Unless they DO s1
/ they cannot advance much farther. and
/ the result will be that the war will soon
be temporarily suspended.
After the Fflipinos have been sub1ual
/ there will be great opportunity for the ig-
Vestment OF American capital I'm the isl.
/ ands. Money can be ventured In all the
| various business occupations in the island
with what l believe will be great profit
! There will be absolutely no chance for rH4
/ American laborer there. however. for tb.
reason that Filipino workingmen can d,
/ hired for 10 and L cents a day."

litical capital out Of the investigation was
not so obvious.
| THE scheme is by this attack on Tam
many 10 divert attention from the canal
/ frauds and other rascally deeds Of the
I party which created the AIaZet committee.
| do not think that Attorney Moss will b.
able 10 get any very satisfactory results
from his examination Of Mr. Croker. The
/ Tammany chief has conducted himself
well on the witness stand, despite the
/ clever badgering of counsel. If the CON.
mittee wants 10 unearth corruption on a
gigantic scale Mr.. Croker has given them
a sufficient pointer"
