The Visayas of Panay were supposed to
be friendly to American occupation. They
greeted our troops with seeming cordiality
upon their arrival at Iloiio, and they ap-
peared 80 friendly altogether that some Of

might become our allies and help Us out

like thunder bolt from clear sky,
Though they were easily driven back,
thanks largely to the superior markeniau-

much courage and determination a the
Tagalos. Our troops in pursuing them
had to wade through rice fields up TO

The evidence which the Court Of In
quiry has been getting at Chicago and
Omaha l. so damaging that it is no long
er doubted at Washington that the Court
will report That the charges Of Gen. Miles
have been sustained and it will per
haps implioate Gen. Eagan and Ger.
lain p ackers SO directly that
prosecutions will have to. follow,
a lger is SAID to be greatly distur bed by
the developments and rumors Of his
resignation in the near future are revived.
He had expected that the court would
follow the war commission in declaring
Gen. Miles's charges unfounded or great
ly exaggerated, and that it's report would
be in spirit, ii not in letter. a condemna-
tion of Miles and vindication of the
war department. But recent evidence
las destroyed all hopes of that kind, The
only question now Is whether the court
will be able to definitely 6x the guilt.

niissloners have issued to the inha bitants
of those islands, but II 10 be accurate the
proclamation goes considerably further
in the direction CT promising the Fllipincs
self government than did the President
proclamation issued some months ago.
Our purpose as described In the latter
was benevolent assimilation, phrase
that was obscure in It's meaning AMI
might be varionsly interpreted. But the
proclamation of the commissioners dis
tinctly holds out the prospect of local self
government under American control, to
be sure, but with the assurance that the
control Is not to be exercised In any spirit
of tyranny or vengeance. Ii is impossi-
BILE to predict how the proclamation Will
be received by the Filipinos, bat it ap-
pears to be thoroughly conciliatory in
tone. and II 1t does not effect cessation
of hostilities 1t will certainly put us IN
better shape before the world, and tend to
relieve us from the suspicion Of max
Ing war purely for conquest.
