Gen. SchWan Says Only Robbsr
Bands Are Now Continuing
Fighting in Philippines.

San Francisco. May lI.-Brig. Gen.
Scnwan, who arrived last night on the
transport Thomas from Manila. where
he had been Gen Gus chief of staff FOR
year. is hopeful of a speedy end of
the war IN the Philippines. lie says:
Tine Filipino gov Nernment is thing
OF the past. Its army has disappeared.
There is no longer A regmental or
gani2ation among the natives, OF even
"A military company. The rebellion is
over. but r0bber bands that have in
tested the islands as long as history re-
cords still cause trouble to unprotect-
eu towns and to small attachments of
our soldiers. These robber bands are
incited by native politicians, who inn
pose upon the credulty OF the common
people. No people are go ctedulous as
the lower class Filipinos. The leaders
have been mcitine ex-soldlers To com
tinue on the warpath assuring them
that the American election was soon
coming. anu that Mckinley would be
defeated and American soldiers With
drawn from the Philippines.
There are about $4,000 troops IN the
philippines now. That number In am
pie for the situation. The islands are
well covered with American troops,
carefully distributed at all strategic
points and each garrison is responsible
@pA itS VNn cpntlt III ACTION. Al Int
beginning Of the Filipino rebellion the
natives We're credited with having
$4,000 guns. We have captured about
$1,000. The remaining 10000 are now
either in the hands of small robber
bands. or are cached at various places
where the soldiers left them when the
army broke up. Many of the robber
bands are armed principally with keen
edge bolos. a native weapon. They
pillage towns and frequently cut the
throats of natives who have been
friendly 70 the Americans. BY degrees
however. the garrisons are gaining the
confidence OF the townspeople where
they are stationed and already have
succeeded in some cases in getting
natives TO help guide them to robbers
Whenever an American force OF any
size goes out there is never Filipino
force in sight, not even when half a
company goes on a hunt. But they oc-
casionally attack little detachments of
Americans.
after the wet season and after the
national elections in this country, the
pacification of the Philippines will
naturally complete itself The natives
are quickly acquiring the English Ian
guage and even the troublesome class
sends its children TO school TO learn
English. We are in complete military
possession Of the islands. The only
problem is the civil government or the
islands. In year there will not be
any need for nearly so many men as
We have there now"
