TIE FILIPINO CONTINGENT.

The one provision OF the new army
bill that will meet with general ap-
prevail is that which authorizes the en-
listmcnt. under the army regulations,
Of F'iljpinos to the number OF 10000.
Experience since the fail of Manila has
abundantly shown that American SOL
diers cannot be kept in the islands
without an abuormally large loss from
climatic conditions. 1t is also plain
that if the islands are to be held they
Will have TO be garrisoned for years
to come. The only question, then, to
be considered is whether Americans or
natives are better suited to the work
that will be required of the military
force that will have to be permanently
maintained in the islands.
There is no doubt that the Filipino,
thoroughly acclimated. used to the
foods obtainable in the island ac-
quainted with the country and speak
ing it's tongue, will. when properly
drilled and differed. make a more eff
cient instrument of absolutism in the
islands than the American, who has
neither taken over-)tindly TO the work

under the trying conditions of the
climate. Apart from the question Of
efficiency. competent authorities have
estimated that, man for man, native
troops can be maintained for half the
cost of maintaining American troops,
while the saving in pensions will he an
item of scarcely less Importance.
Even in the American army the Fill
pinos are not an untried quantity, hav-
ing already been used as scouts, seve-
raj companies, we believe, having been
recruited. The Filipino makes IL very
efficient soldier. Since the country, in
obedience to the seeming necessities OF
the case, is to employ merccnaries,
however ii is perhaps unfortunate that
the word native" was used as a limit
ing term for recruits. Ii any difficulty
should be experienced in recruiting

desirable to enlist Chinese as we'll

In any case, Americans can comfort
themselves with the reflection that a
live Filipino mercenary is better than
dead or crazed American soldier and
another name added to the eternally
growing pension list BY all means
give home talent a chance in the Phil
iplines. There is plenty of work FOL

and as the native regiments will have

worth having will go to Americans any
