MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
Mr.. Wildman Says Army in the
Philippines is Inadequate.

New York, May Edwin Wildman,
former vice consul at Hong Kong, con-
tributes an article on "A Reign of Ter
ror in the Philippines" to Leslie's
weekly. of which the following is an
abstract:
although Gen. Otis would have US
believe that the war in the Philippines
is over. I learn from private sources of
information of the highest authority that
there exists a veritable reign of terror
in most parts of the archipelago within
a gunshot from our army posts Either
Gen. Otis is blind to the situation, or IS
keeping the real facts from the Ameri-
can people. Aguinaldo's forces have
scattered into marauding bands, and
leaguing themselves with the mountain
Tulisanes and Ladronese, terror1ze the
country and effectually check the culIl-
walton of crops and the sale OF market
able products.
a'The new ports that have been open
ed have shipped away what little sup
ply they contained and the tons upon
tons of hemp, sugar and rice that al G
stored in the interior are beyond tue
reach of BUYERS. The money paid for
the thousands of bales of hemp shipped
from garrisoned ports has found us
way into the inSurgent cotterS, ana the
revolutionary juntaS at Hong Kong ana
chases of arms. preparatory to a renew
ed season of flibustering and general
hostilities as soon as the rainy season IS
over. Our army are busy protecting
their posts while the insurgents carry
on their operations in the interior and
paralyZe agriculture and trade.
Scattered bands of armed insurgents
wage war against all who hesitate to
acknowledge the Aguinaldo government
and the inhabitants are in a state OF
! terror that prevents honest industry OF
! open alliance with American sovereign
| ty The American troops make short
work of these robbers. but our garrisonf
are so far apart and so few in numbers
| that they invariably are obliged to fal
back to a seaport town where they car
| get supplies from Manila. for the insur-
| gents have so thoroughly ravaged tnt
| country that it is impossible to supply
even a small battalion with native pro
| ducts.
"If we ever hope to put an end to TIL:
! Indian warfare we must send additions
forces to the islands. Our present corp!
is totally inadequate to cope with the
situation and bring the war to close
The islands, commercially or otherwise
| will be utterly useless until life and pro
perty are made safe.
