of Spanish misrule; in many provinces
there was absolute anarchy and
from all sides came applications for
protection and help. In speaking Of
General McArthur's movement north
ward, the report tells OF insurgents
methods of intimidating natives by
telling them fearful tales concerning
American soldiers. This method oi
procedure was eminently successful
at first, but in the end recOiled on its
authors.
As to the state of affairs when the
commission left. the report says: Be
fore the commission left the Philip
pines nearly all the inhabitants bad
returned 10 these ruined villages.
Fields that had lain fallOw for three
years were green with growing crops.
Municipal governments had been
established and the people, protected
by our troops, were enjoying peace

unknown in the history Uf the Philip
pines. Attempts Of insurgents to
raise recruits and money In the
province OF Bulacan were proving
abortive, except when backed by
bayOnets and bullets, and even In
such cases the natives were applying
to us for help to resist them.
A chapter Is devoted to the capa-
bility of the natives for self-govern-
ment. The commission devoted
several months of patient inquiry To
this subject. during which great num-
bers OF witnesses were examined OF
all shades Of political thought and
varieties Of occupation, tribe and
locality. The most striking and
perhaps the most significant fact in
the entire situation Is the mul iplicity

"If Justice in fact shall ever prevail

OF unanimity be discarded, the majority
rule should take Its place, except In Il

I CUBAN MIsM CEMENT ciai

I'm a recent lucid Interval brought on
by the public declarations OF many
leading Republicans IN Congress and
elsewhere. the washington Post has
this to say of Cuba and Gen. Brooke.
the Cuban autocrat: AZ AZ;
"Tlle only logical deduction from the
alleged utterance by Gen. Wilson is
that the administration is bound, by
every consideration Of good faith, to
suppress the military autocracy of
Brooke, and to set up, instead, n Civil
Governor General. who will at once pro-
coed to organize peaceful and CIVIL gov
eminent throughout the island If 1t
be considered necessary to keep Brooke
there, with his palaces and his be-
dZened retinue. we have no objection
to offer. Brooke has risen from a very
humble origin TO high place in the
army. Promoted from the position OF
wagonmaster connected with one or
our army posts, he was in 1861 given q
commission in the volunteer service.
He developed into q flrSt-rate fighter,
rose to the rank Of Colonel, was taken
into the regular establishment after the
war, and since that, by virtue OF
stubborn and yet placid longevity. he
has reached his present rank. For TINS
much we respect and compliment him.
lie has won his way leSitimately. Bue
events have satisfied us that he is no
more qualified for the duties he is now
supposed to discharge that some lone
penguin squatting on barren shore.
Under his foolish and misguided rule,
Cuba has not advanced one single step
toward the goal with which we once
cnjoled her Under his dispenSation
she will never advance that step. He
should be set aside. The President
should appoint Civil Governor, inau-
gurate the experiment to which, by
every consideration of honor and good
faith, we IRE committed. and the army
De held simply as police force to In
sure law and order under the dispo-
sition of the civil authority.
This is n serious question. The
scandal is near 10 us, and the circum-
stances involve our honor In the issue.
1t is safe to say that the Cubans now
nave less local self-government than
they had under Spanish rule. We
swore to Christendom that we would
improve and elevate their state. Is it
not about time to undertake the re-
demption Of that pledge?"
This is very different talk about
Cuba from that heretofore INDUCED by
the Post: but it is an echo of the voice
of all rational men. irrespective OF
party. 1t is voice of doom for Han

NO TEST OF STRENGTH.

There has been no determination of
the relative strength of Tyler and Mar
tin In Roanoke, but it n,be said with
no fear of the production or compila-
ton of figures to prove otherwise that
the sentiment among the people Of this
city for Governor j. Hoge Tyler for
the United States Senate is predomi-
nant and that We're the decks cleared
of ward heelers aud politicians for a
ballot between Tyler and Martin, and
an executive committee found to allow
such ballot to be taken in accord
nnce with the just proposition made
them. Tyler would DO found to be In the
lead by many votes. Were this not true
and We're the machinery of Roanoke not
fully cogniaant of this fact, there would
be no hesitancy in granting the request
OF Tyler that his cause be submitted
to the people themselves.
