that is the case there is not likely to be

The foregoing are but a few Of the
many measures which II Is known will

The impartial says: ''AIl the intelligence
from the Philippine islands shows that the
Americans recognize their inability to over
come the insurgents in the island of Luzon
and the Visayas. The FiliDinos understand
that the Americans wish to tyrannize over
them and exploit them as the Spaniards
never did. The Americans intended to exer-
else their power merely at the important
ports, but they are already convinced that
such domination would not be efficaciOus.
They would be constantly fighting the in
surgents. and the latter would soon put an
end to the Americans, as the Filipinos have
on their side not only bullets but the cli-
mate and the enormous expenditure the
situation win entail on the Americans This
