Washington, March 2S.-There was a

DIFFICULTIES AHEAD.
Natives Should BE Pitted Against Each
Other in the Philippines.

Other in the Philippines.
London, March 1.-The Daily Mail
this morning prints extracts from let
ter written by a distinguished British
naval officer recently in Philippine wa
ters, who dilates upon the difficulties
facing the Americans there. The writer,
whose name is not given, says that the
climate is very trying for nine months
of the year and that it is quite impos-
sible, for whites to live there. The
Americans, he declares, lack mule bat
teries and horses to move their artil-
lery. He is confident that the Ameri-
can men would prefer to clear out,
but explains that they cannot do this
because of, the foreign merchants" The
officer also remarks: =
1.-THE Americans do not appear to
understand the game of using one lot
of natives against another. If they
wish to conquer the islands they must
adopt that plan and also make roads
and railways"

Stockton, Cal, March 2S.-Reports
from many sections of the San Joaquin

heavy rains is increasing instead of
receding, as it was anticipated it would
Water is still pouring in on the low

depth of the pockets. In some places
the water is so deep that the owners do
not expect to have their land drained

in this section, and it is these that are
causing the most trouble, the larger
ones being generally highly banked In
some places the flood will be beneficial.

London, March 29-The Times, in an
editorial commenting upon sugges-
ton thrown out by the New York Times
regarding the birth of a feeling of re-
spect for the Filipinos." says; The
growth of such a sentiment does honor
to the Americans, so long as their re-
spect is confined to bravery and en-
durance and no inference is drawn
from the military to the civic capapll
tiles of the natives. Until the Flip
mos are vanquished and forced to sue
for peace, any talk of concessions is
liable to be misconstrued and to lead
to a prolongation of the struggle. That,
at least, is the teaching of English his
tory in dealing with semi-civilized
races. The Americans evidently have
a tough job and it may be they have
a long one. but we do not doubt that
they will do it thoroughly and in a
workmanlike faGhion, as Is their ma
tional way"

The Facts About ..That BIuff,,

After printing lot of libelous mat
ter about Tadlock, the post Office boss
evidently became very uneasy lest he
should be crlmInaily prosecuted be-
fore he had a chance to retraot and
acknowledge he had lied las he did in
case of lying about Tadlock once
before) and sent an emmissary to this
office who wanted to beg off and
offered TO settle' or retrRct If the
matter would only be kept out of the
courts. When Royce's agent left, it
occurred to US to consult the county
attorney and see to what extent the
article printed was really hbelous.-
Judge Pratt had no hesitation in pro-
nouncipg the article criminally libel
GUS, but intimsted that he feared it
could not be made to stick in a Phil
lips county court. When pressed for
an explanation the Judge very dis.
creetly limited that in order to make
out case of libel, injury must be
proven, and to prove injury it would
be necessary to show that the article
was believed. This he thought to be
impossible. We saw the point at once
as no jury in this county could be
pursuaded that one of Royce's pollti-
cal lies was ever believed
We heard no more of the matter
until Royce called the bluff" IN an
article which backed down on every
particular,-even as to the amount of
back pay, which he first claimed was
$400. This is about the third time in
the last few years that Royce has had
to TESS up to lying.
