Policy of Cancellation Towards Fnipinss
Has Discouraging Results.
MANILA, Aug. %, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 29.-Recent events have proved
somewhat Encouraging to officials who
are trying to accompany war with .
policy Of Cancellation. Two new mu.
nicipal governments have collapsed
through the treachery of the mayors.
Today the mayor Of San Pedro Macati,
who was elected by the people under
the direction of Professor Dean Worces-
ter of the United States advisory COM
mission for the Philippines was
brought to Manila and lodged in jail
The United States officers at San Pedro
Macati found that he was using his
Office in securing information for the
Filipino army. Disguised insurgents
were helping him. The mayor OF
Baliuag was also arrested and confined
in the same prison. The Americans
caught him passing between the line of
the two armies with an discriminating
document, which the authorities Sc
cured. Another prominent native
mayor is under surveillance.
In Prison When Elected.
When the election at linus, which
General Lawton and Professor Wor-
cester engineered, was announced, the
smericans inquired as to the where
a bon+s OF The peoples choice and were
informed that he ssas in prison at Bib
bid. where the authorities nag placed
him on suspicion of being a revolution,
list. He was released and installed as
mayor.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that a great ma
jority of the natives sympathize with
the insurgents and elect officials whom
they know to be revolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been po-
Iced at night with unusual vigilance.
Apparently the authorities are expect
ing trouble.
The trend of affairs tends to make
the policy of leniency unpopular among
the Americans. When they abandoned
Morong they burned the whole town.

General Otis Asserts That Volunteers
VIII Not BE Needed Long.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. The war de-
paftment has received copies of all the
official orders issued within recent
months by Major General Otis. They
give much interesting detail, in addi-
tion to the more essential points brought
by cable.
AS showing the sentiment of General
Otis as to the probable duration of the
war, the following is taken from GEN
eral Order No. 81, giving details for re-
enlistment:
1t is notSbelieved that the necessity
for the retention of volunteer force in
the Philippines can exist for any great
length of time, hence from pecuniary
considerations alone it would seem that
such re-enlistments would be desirable
for individual interests"
