Aguinaldo is quite unable tc
cope with our army there and full
ly realizes this. The tactics pu-.
sued by our army have been
largely of nature intended tc
produce a moral effect rather than
to crush the insurgents, the de-
sign being to impress them with
the strength and resources of this
country without inflicting any
great punishment upon them.
This explains the long duration
Of the trouble.

There has been no complaint in

and efficient officer, and the right

by the policy the government is
pursuing there, no General could

Ernest c. Rost, artist and war
correspondent, passed through
Salt Lake yesterday en- route to
New York and the Transvaal
from the Philippines, where he
has been ever since the Filipino
outbreak. Mr.. Rost represented
Les7ie's and the New York zri6-
nne in Cuba and Porto Rico last
year, and then visited Hawaii,
Guam, Jolo and the Philippines
for the same publications.
In discussing the Philippines
Mr.. Rost said: "The solution Of
the trouble rests wholly with
Washington now. The insur-
gents believe that if Democratic
administration is placed in power
it will recognize thelT u|lll@tlu'
They fully realize the futility OF
contending against the United
States Government, and are mere
ly holding on hoping that policy
favorable to them will be adopted
in this country. Aguinaldo and
his followers constitute small
portion of the population OF the
islands, the highest estimate OF
their numbers being less than
10000 men, and they do not rep
resent in any degree the sentiment
of the larger and better element
of the population, which is en-
Iphaticallyin favor of American
protection, feeling confident that
the best hope for the future OF the
islands lies in American control.

Read This.

Should our power by any fa-
tally be withdrawn, the commits
sion believes that the Philippines
would speedily lapse into anarchy,
which would excuse, if # did not
necessitate, the intervention of
other powers, and the eventual
division of the islands among them.
Only through American occu pa
ton, therefore, is the idea of a
free, self-governing and united
PHILIPPINE commonwealth at all
conceivable. And the indespens-
able need, from the Filipino point
of view, of maintaining America
sovereignty over the archipelago
is recognized by all intelligent
Filipinos, and even by those in
surgents who desire an American
proctectorate. The latter, it is
true, would take the revenues and
leave us the responsibilities
Nevertheless, they recognize the
indubitable fact that the Filipinos
cannot stand alone. We cannot
from any point of view escape
the responsibility of government
which our sovereignty entails,
and the commission is strongly
persuaded that the performance
of our national duty will prove
the greatest blessing to the peo-
pies of the Philippine Islands,

All On Account OF The War.

We are complacently told by
some that all the prosperity the
country is enjoying is due to the
war. Well, let us see about that.
The thing that costs the most to
the people of this world in their
journey of life is food. There has
been less food stuffs sold abroad
in the year of the war than in
each of the two years precedin 6
it. So the war has not helped
much on that line. Then it must
be that the war has benefCially
operated on other prodnc's. We
learn that twenty American loco
motives have been shipped to
England; that twenty have beer

Governor Richards of Wyom-
ing has issued an invitation TO the
governors of all arid and semi-arid
States and Territories to attend
a meeting to be held in Salt Lake
Utah, on Dec. "a next for the
purpose of formulating land -leas-
ing questions. In his letter, Gov
ernor Richards says:
"The present status of the
millions Of acres comprising
the public domain is far from sat

and laws which in the early days
of the open range, were sufficient
ly comprehensive and adapted to
the conditions of the time, have be-
come antiquated and wholly mad
equate, and the government lands
are now source of anxiety to the
various elements looking to them
for sustenance. The changed
conditions which now face us
must be met by remedies that
will solve the important questions
for our greatest benefit.
"No question involving the in
terests of our section approaches
the appearances of this one, and
in its solution the efforts Of our
strongest and best informed citi-
zenS should combine in formulat-
ing a bill for the disposition of
our public land, to be presented to
congress, that will be satisfactory
to our people and of such char
acter as will appeal to the wis
dom and justice of that body.
Believing that this matter is of
immediate and earnest importance

have opened at Madrid, and while not

The Spanish minister has taken no

the frequency of these affairs and that
he greatly deprecates them, although
he does not doubt that the United

everything possible to give adequate
protection to Spanish citizens and their
interests.
