DAVIS ON PORTO RICO.
Commander of the Island Military
submits His Report.


washington. Nov. 1.-The report of
Brig. Gen. George w. Davis, command
ing the department of Porto Rico. has
been made public by the war depart
ment. 1t contains large amount or IN
teresting material on the social, com
mercial and political conditions in the
islands. Gen. Davis calls attention to
the fact that he has RETAINED from
making anything that might be con-
strued as promise of what ultimate
action shall be taken by congress for
the government of the island and says
his aim has been to promote the Well
being of the people under the existing
conditions. A general spirit of con-
tentment, he says, regns throughout
the department. Gen. Davis closes his
report. which is dated August Is, with
90 brief statement as to the great hurri-
lcane. and extends his thanks to the
lwar department for the prompt aid rem
dered him in caring for the destitute.
Accompanying the report is an inter
lesting discussion upon the government
| of Porto Rico by Maj. w. A. Glassford
Among the suggestions for reform
offered by Glassford is one that the
1 market for sugar, coffee and tobacco is
indispensable to the we'll being of the
island. The removal Of the duty or
Porto Rico sugar he says, would double
| the output and the same Increase
doubtless would take place in coffee
and tobacco. The report from the chic
surgeon deals interestingly with the

land, which included 7S6,29o people al ;

examined before the Mazet committee
yesterday concerning the Ramapo Wa
ter Company and its attempt to force
New York city to contract with it for a
future water supply. Gen. Tracy de-
elared that as far as he knew Senator
Platt knew nothing about the company
further than what he had seen in the
newspapers Twice Cen. Tracy was
overcome with emotion and indigna-
tion when one of the democratic merp
bers of the committee insinuated that
Gen. Tracy had inserted in the charter
of Greater New York clauses favorable
to the Ramapo company. Gen. Tracy
admitted that he had received from the
company many shares of stock but
that it was in payment for services as
attorney and president. having received
no salary in cash. He said that not lik-
| ing the methods of Secretary Lamont OF
the company he had withdrawn, and il

at that time knew nothing of the plar
of the company to rush its contract il

Phases Of the islands
Both Arc Firmly Rooted in Customs

Kansas Preparing a Magnificent Re.
ception For the Fighting TWEEN
ieth at Topeka.

Washington, Nov. LIN view of the
current discussion of the military
agreement between Gen. Bates and the
sultan of Sulu, the Views of President
Schurman, Of the Philippine commits
sion on this subject are interesting.
Mr.. Schurman was one of the first
Americans to visit Jolo. the seat of
Spanish government in the Sulu archi-
pelago, and had an extended interview
with the sultan before the arrival of
Gen. Bates. The arrangement entered
into between Gen. Bates and the sultan
was considerably Influenced by this
meeting.
Professor Schurman said when ques-
toned about the probable continuance
of polygamy and slavery in the islands
after they came under the American
dominion that this was a subject that
would have to be dealt with in the most
careful fashion to bring an ultimately
satisfactory solution. He continued:
ut seems to me that were 1t not for
the ignorance displayed the present hue
and cry about polygamy and slavery in
these islands would be absolutely crirn-
inal. In taking over the Sulu group we
have acquired no rights of any sort
there except those bequeathed us by
Spain. She was bound by her agree
ment with the sultan not to interfere
with the religious customs of the is
Hands, and 1T would be most unwise fol
US to attempt this by force when 1t can
ultimately be accomplished by the
slower method Of civilization and edu-
cation.
The Sulu group proper contains
about 100, 900 inhabitants They are all
| Mohammedans, as are about 100000 of
1.-The residents Of Mindanao, directly
east To attempt to interfere with the
religion of these people would precipi-
| tate one of the bloodiest wars in which
this country has ever been engaged.
They are different race, physically
and mentally, from the residents OF
| Nisayan isles-powerful men and re-
lligious fanatics of the most pronounced
TYPE, who care nothing for death. and
believe that the road to heaven can be
attained by killing christians. Polyg-
Lamy is a part of their religion, ana
slavery, about which so much has been
said. is mild type of feudal bondage.
The sultan believes from what he
has seen of Americans that they are
ready to be friendly and deal honestly
/ by him. our soldiers and officers all
ready travel into the interior of Jolo
with perfect impunity. where Spaniards
1 have never dared to set foot. 1t has
been suggested indirectly to the sultan
A that he should maintain an American
Iof good standing as confidential adj
i wiser at his court TO aid him in the
i work of material development, for
(which the beautiful group of islands is
ready. and which is bound to come
when they are thrown in touch with the
i civilized world. / believe that he vii
4 take kindly to this suggestion and the
heaven of civilization introduced in this
Il way ultimately will do the work which
Iarmed interference with the immemor.
ial religious customs never could &C
complish.
