FILIPINO WAR NEWS.

We are not surprised that some OF our readers
have been inclined to doubt the authenticity OF
the "Filipino war news" OF which we printed
translations on Sunday last. The talk ABOUT
"the triumphant army OF Filipinos securing the
country In pursuit Of the panic-stricken 1oe'
the "precIpitate fight" and "unmitigated saw
aqery" of the "Yanquis" and all the rest OF IL,
sounds like the widest of buresque. Yet In
truth II is seriously published by the native
newspapers In Luzon and Is intended by It's
publishers to be believed. Probably 1t Is be-
lieved by some OF the Tagals who are too re-
mote from the scene of conflict to know the
truth. Probably the perusal Of such stuff leads
some wretched savages TO join "De' Agui-
paldo's motley ranks That doubtless Is the pur-
pose Of its authors To the intelligent portion Of
mankind, at Manila as in New-York, 1t is moth
inc but n source OF amusement, tempered with
pity.
Though. indeed. It should be something more.
He Is only superficial reader who does not
see in it a lesson even to Americans, ana
scathing rebuke to those Americans who nave,
whether In folly or in sheer malignancy. allied
themselves with Taga rebels against their own
Government The widest yarns and most ex-
travagant eplthets in the "Republica FiIpiha
are mere echoes Of the printed and spoken utter
ances of the "aHt-imperialist" agitators Have
not these latter rallied against the President rs
"criminal aggressor,' and against our officers
and soldiers as ruthless invaders, incendlarlcs
and murderers1 Have they not been sounding
the praises Of De Agulnaldo and his fellow
rebels as the Washlngtons and Lafayettes OF
the Philippines? Have they not spread broad
cast the yarns Of the "regimental liars" about
the butchery Of prisoners by our troops-yarns
as wildly baseless as the Filipino tale OF our
soldiers "slnfully selfish 'sauve qui peut"
These "anti-imperiallst' bogy tales are
moreover. not only as false and foolish as the
Filipino war news. Tney are in no small degree
responsible for II. Their earmarks are upon
every page OF the "Republca Fipina' In SO
far as any Of the Tagals may be sincere in re-
gardng the Americans as lawless and savage
oppressors, they have got their notions to that
effect from prints published In America 10
whatever extent they may find 1t necessary to
back up their inventions with corroborative
testimony, they can get that testimony from
nominay American sources. The "anti-imperal-
lists" have thus not only llbeled their own coun-
try and assisted rebellion against its lawful
authority. They have helped to deceive and to
lure to ruin the untutored folk for whose well
fare they have professed so profound concern.
They have caused the United States Govern
ment little embarrassment. They have brought
upon the Tagals whom they profess to love
widespread desolation.
New-York tribune., 1899-05-25
POLICY AT MANILA

The accounts given out by the War Depart
ment regarding affairs in the Philippines seem
little more optimistic than other information.
The statement that Agunaldo has been super
seded In actual authority by Luna, whose ruth
less despotism makes It perous for any man TO
favor peace on any terms short of the complete
mastery demanded by the Tagal secret league
appears quite In accord with the course Of
events since Luna was known to have taken
control But II that is true the negotiations
conducted By the Commission with persons
claiming TO represent Acuinaldo do not promise
ss good results as some authorities apparently
expect. What Aguinaldo can control, If any
thing. whether any acceptance by him of pro-
posals made would have practical value can
hardly be determined unless his sincerity Is GER
tain. as 1t cannot be. and unless he has left some
power to control forces, which is at least Ques-
tlonable.
There Is some reason to doubt whether the
conciliatory policy which the Commission has
pursued, apparently further than the military
authorities deemed wise. has not been adrotly
used by Philippine leaders 10 encourage resist
ence and to keep alive the hope that the Ameri-
cans. wearied by reported losses, are growing
more anxious for peace. Professor Schurman is
reported as saying that he found the Filipinos
disposed 10 treat the Americans as cowardly
and yielding In disposition, and saw that dis
play OF force was necessary AT first, but that 1t
should be followed by Cancellation The mill
tary authorities on the other hand held that no
terms or conditions could be made until COM
plete surrender had established the authority Of
the United States against a rebellion which was
entirely without reason. The correspondence
which General Otis has forwarded appears to
sustain this view both as TO the wanton unrea-
Bonableness Of the attack upon American forces
IN February and as to the futilty Of negotia-
tions since. II the proposal Of forms OF govern
ment which are extremely liberal and obviously
more liberal than General Otis was authorized
by the President to state In the proclamation
published, tends TO create the impression that
resistance and losses and lapse Of time are
weakening the American purpose, 1t may be
found mistake, as the military authorities are
said TO consider II.
Dealings with utterly faithless treacherous
md savage races are not often helped by the
methods which may be employed with success
in treating civilized opponents. In It's conflict
with American Indians the Army learned long
ago that savages could be brought to submis-
sion only by relentless and uncompromising
force, even to the point Of final surrender The
testimony regarding the character of the Tagal
insurgents is not all on one side, 1t is true, for
the Philippine Junta and their instruments
here have represented the foe as body
of Christian patriots sincere and intellgen,
in their devotion TO the cause of indepen-
dence. But all other testimony has been OF
an utterly opposite tenor. and the shocking bar
barities perpetrated by the insurgents, their at
tempt to bring about a conHagration and indis
