Since the outbreak Of the war In the

Spruit-A channel through which a

Kopje-The top of a hill, generally

boulders.
Drift-A ford. In making these fords
the Boers have shown great ingenuity.
Usually in the widest and shallowest
part of river they are made by
spreading bed stones right across the
river TO the width of about thirty feet:
Thus the water running over the drift
may be only about two ami uup-falt
feet deep. while on each side it may be
much deeper.
Dorp lin German dorf. in English

Poort-A gateway.
Spree-A small stream.
Kop-A hill.
Laager-A semi-fortGed camp, us
ually made by flashing wagons on end

the result that unprecedented enthu-

pointed to an immense crowd to wit

that the Bafimoreans were either

Filipinos little or no part in govern

Spanish system. the commission sums
up on this point:
This is all the training in self-gov-
crnmcnt which the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands have enjoyed. Their
lack of education and political eX-
perience, combined with their racial
and linguistic dlversities, disquaiify
them. in spite of their mental gifts and
domestic virtues, to undertake the task

SITUATION SUMMED UP.
The commission sums up the situa-
ton. at the time Of their departure. as
follows:
when we left Manila a large volume
OF business was being done. and the
streets were SO crowded as to be hardly
safe. The native population was qu!et
and orderly, and all fear Of an upris-
ing has long since passed. An efficient
corps of native policemen was on duty.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-11-03
THE INDISPENSABLE NEED.

"Should our power. by any fatality.
be withdrawn the commission believe
the government Of the Philippines
would speedily lapse into anarchy,
which would excuse. II it did not ne-
cessitate, the intervention OF other
powers, and the eventual division of
the islands among them. Only through
American occupation. therefore, is the
idea OF n free, safeguarding and
united Philippine commonwealth ut all
conceivable. And the indispensable need
from the Philippine point OF view of
maintaining American sovereignty over
the archipelago. ia recognized by all
intelligent Filipnos and even by those
Insurgents who desire an American pro-
tectorate.
THE latter, 1t is true. would take the
revenues and leave us the responsibili-
ties. Nevertheless. they recognize the
indubitable fact that the Filipinos can
not stand alone. Thus the welfare OF
the Filipinos comedies with the die
tatcs of national honor In forbiddins
our abandonment OF the archipelago.
We cannot from any point OF view es-
cape the responsibilities 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
people OF the Philippine islands"
