THE PHILIPPINE sIsUAT1ON
Neither Benevolent Ass,miIation''
Nor Successful Conquest. But
Guerrilla Warefare.

Although the war in the Philip
)ines is Mr.. McKinley's own-Con-
sress never having declared 1.-THE
American people are fighting and
paying for it. They are therefore en-
tiled to full and Trustworthy infor-
nation concerning it. A double GEN.
sorship, at Manila and at Washington,
keeps this information from the peo-
pie. But these facts are not denied:
Il l The war has now lasted 139 days
Or % days longer than our war with
Spain. We hold, latter this period,
less Of the territory than Spain occu-
pied and less than we held in August
OF last year. The rebel forces are now
more troublesome than at any former
time.
4 2 The war has cost more than 700
men killed, $500 wounded, 10000 in
valided. It has cost $62,OOO,OOO in
money and is costing 100000 a day
Oar losses in the fighting in Cuba
{ which resulted in the surrender of
Santiago, and the end of the war with
Spain, were about 23O killed and
about 1900 wounded. Our losses in
Porto Rico were three killed and 40
wounded.
3 There have been sent to General
Otis $4,000 men. Some $4,000 NOR o
are under sailing orders. The Presi-
dent has decided, it is said, to quietly
enlist $4,000 volunteers he was auth
orized by Congress to add to the ar
my for temporary use.
4 According to the best expert
testimony it will take between 1OO,-
600 and 100000 troops to subdue the
Filipinos and hold the principal
points in the islands.
5 The rainy season will soon put
an end to campaigning. "Fifty per
cent OF our men will be incapacitated
by sickness and the territory overrun
will have to be abandoned. Manila
will be in a state of siege again"
This is the testimony of DR., McQues-
ton, late Of General Otis staff and
health officer at Manila.
6 The Presidents peace commls-
sion is total failure, owing largely
to it's inability to consider any terms
except unconditional surrender and
absolute submission to the asover-
eighty" Of the United States.
This le not pleasing picture. 1t
Is neither benevolent assimilation"
nor sue cessful conquest. It has all
the appearance of useless and end.
less guerrilla warefare. If Mr.. Nc.
Kinley can "crush the 1nsurrection
by an overwhelming force" as his
supporters are urging him to do, it is
manifestly the part OF wisdom for him
to do 30.
There is neither honor nor profit
in permitting this unnecessary and
un-American war to drag into another
year.-N. Y. World.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 3.-Through g. a
suit in equity begun yesterday in common
pleas court No. 3. Simon P. Kase, of Phila-
delphia, seeks to recover from the estate
of the late Thompson Bell, who was in the
banking business in Pittsburg some years
ago. $S0,000 worth of railroad bonds, sS4.-
600 claimed as the income Of the bonds,
and damages, not stated, for using the
bonds against the interest of the plaintiff:
The lawyers who appear for Kase are Car
rie B. Kilgore and James Scarlett Kase
says he borrowed from Thomson Bell for
building the Danville, Hazleton and Will
kesbarre Railroad s142.949, giving notes
and first mortgage bonds for security.
After he had paid the loan he says he was
unable to secure the return of the bonds.

against one regiment. The greatest diff
Guilty the American army has is in catching
them.
AS to the American soldier Mr. Andre,
said: They have done well-very well. II
you only knew the conditions of that coun-
try, you would be surprised that they have
done what they have. The weather has
been simply awful-worse this year than
usual. and fighting under such conditions
as they have is very difficult indeed
As to the resources of the country, Mr..
Andre said that only one-tenth of the soil
is cultivated, and that is not titled under
the best management; and yet the actual
export trade amounts to about $4,000
co., The chief product, of course.
is hemp, but rice, cotton. sugar, tobacco,
and cocoanut oil are produced in large
quantities. II the country were fully de-
veloped it would sustain 81, 900, 600 people.
Once in a while they have a bad year,
and the rice they produce is not sufficient
to meet their needs. They then import the
necessary quantity from Salon, a French
colony in Cochin China. But il would ney-
er happen that the supply of rice is short
under any kind of proper management,
After tie Americans have taken hold of
affairs there" he said. that soil will pro-
duce everything in the greatest abundance
wealth than that"
Mr.. Andre said that practically the whole
group is heartily in favor Of American
rule.
There is not going to be any trouble
after Aguinaldo is captured and his rebel
lion put down." said he. ''It is only the
few provinces around Manila that are caus-
ing the trouble, and IL the American troops
get an opportunity for their best work by
having better weather, 1 predict that the
insurgents will soon be compelled to be-
come peaceful"
for the islands under the Americans. One
of Mr.. Andres objects here is in connection
with railroad enterprises in the Philippines
and the formation with American and Eu-
ropean capital of large export industry in
hemp and other staples.
THE natural wealth CT that country is
very great" he continued. I'm few years
it will be full Of large industrial con-
Germs and railroads. l have no doubt the
country has bright future"
The mineral wealth consists of rich de-
posits of gold. and some little silver, coal,
aud iron. Mr.. Andre did not think that
the iron would ever amount to much. be-
cause the coal is not OF the variety used
in furnaces. He said it contains only
SO per cent of carbon, which Is not high
enough for iron working. 1t does not pro-
duce good coke. The gold. however, is in
large quantities. and he believed that after
the islands have been pacifed, great rush
viii take place from this country to the |
gold fields there.
Mr.. Andre also said there are in the ISL |
ands the finest forests OF cedar, mahogany,

Edward c. Andre, the Belgian Consul to
Manila, is in the city and is stopping at
the Arlington Hotel. In discussing affairs
in the Philippines he stated that the chief
cause of the continuance of the war has
been the rainy weather, in which only the
Filipinos can get about. If it were not
for the great amount of rain, he believed,
the war would already be at an end.
When asked for his personal opinion
as to the fighting capacity Of the Filipinos,
he said that they were neither towards
nor brave men. They are not soldiers, as
we understand the term and their meth
DDS are so different that it is scarcely pos
sible to judge Of their valor. They would
not fight. he thought II they were not able
TO run and hide in the muddy swamps and
in the dense woods and mountains. Their
method is to harass the enemy. but never
to stand long enough to become target
Ten thousand Filipinos would not stand

and similar woods. he had ever seen.
About the only industry in the islands is
cigarmaking. in which there are about TO-
600 Filipinos engaged Five-eighths of
these are women. and they are paid about
the same as the cigarmakers in this coun-
try. Mr.. Andre was a witness of the Ma
Mia Bay fight. and afterward was in fire.
quent communication with Admiral Dewey,
who requested his services as an interme-
diary between himself and the Spanish gen.
eral. Mr.. Andre said of the Admiral:
He is very sharp. shrewd person. He
not only knows something about handling
fleet Of warships. but in diplomatic way
he can handle his business and get to the
end of it when he wants to. Yes, sir, he
is q shreWd man."

Reorganization of the Army.

Daily Picayune.
! Although it appears to have been
decided that Commissary General
Egan shall be court martialed, there
! is some delay in making charges
against him, and he has not even
been suspended from duty or con-
structively placed under arrest. 1t
! is said that there is some question
as to the charges which are to be
made against him, although no civil
liam is SO obtuse as not to clearly
see the nature of his offense. That
General Egan was guilty of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man, as well as of conduct prejudi-
cial to good discipline, appears
plain on the face of his testimoney.
INSTRUMENTATION and disrespect to
his superior officer could also be
charged on the face OF his state
ment before the War Investigation
Commission. What, therefore,
causes hesitation and delay on the
part Of the President and Secretary
Alger is difficult to explain.
The very disgraceful develop
ments which have grown out Of the
meat scandal point mistakably to
the necessity for the thorough re-
organization of the army. TO in
crease the size Of the standing army
without changing its Organization
would be merely adding TO TIE con-
fusion and lack of discipline. The
staff must be thoroughly reorgan-
lied, and a general staff similar 10
that maintained in all European
armies organized. The command
ing general must either have more
power and be held to strict &C
countabiIity for his actions, or the
post OF commanding general must
be abolished. To add to the
of the army without pro-
viding for these reforms would be |
merely increasing the existing evils.
