Banishmeut Is Suggested.

Some Of the American generals think
that the insurrection can be materially
crippled by the establishment of a st.
Helena for the Filipino leaders, banishing
them to some islands where they could
not give moral and financial support TO
the rebellion. Guam is advocated as
possible and advantageous residence for
captured officers and civil officers, Arch
bishop Chappelle IL a supporter of the
idea. He believes that the policy OF LEM
iency is wasted upon Asiatics, who fail
to comprehend the motives for II. To the
American officers with whom he has
talked the archbishop has said that the
heads of the leaders should be cut of.
There is little doubt that the paroled Off
GERS in Manila are In communication with
their brethren In the field. Those who are
released from prison, many of them at
least. take up arms again. Gen. Young
shipped to Manila 900 800 of his pris-
oners whom he considered the most dan
gerous characters. Gen. Otis reloaded
them on the steamer and sent them back
north, where they were disembarked to
follow their own wills. Most of them
soon drifted back into the insurgent
camps,

injured. The soldiers thought they were
men disguised in women's clothes. The
onslaught of the bolomen was like the
descent of the Mahdis fanatics upon
Kitcheners square at Khartoum. They
kept coming on faster than the soldiers
could shoot them down, until they were
so close that our cavalrymen had not
time to fire and load, but went through
them with dubbed carbines. Gen Young
has evidence that the priests of there
gion have been sending church contribu-
lions to Aglipay.
Two prominent priests are in JAN

will be tried by military commission.

Question OF the Friars.

Archbishop Chappelle has taken no un-
certain stand on the question of the
friars, which the Filipino people regard
as tho keynote of all their troubles. The
archbishop has expressed his opinions
freely to many officers and civilians with
whom he has talked, although he declines
TO give any formal interviews for pub
lication. His conclusions summarized are
these:
That the Filipinos owe to the monastio
brotherhoods all the education and CIV
ilization they possess. That 1t would be
n great injustice to the friars to expei
them from the field wherein they have
worked for centuries, or to deprive them
of the estates which they have acquired
honestly and have administered for the
public good. That II would he impossible
10 replace them with other priests. be-
cause there Is no other clerical force ac-
quainted with the country and the Lam
guages of the people, and the Filipino
priests are not competent to hold any but
the subordinate positions In the church
That the opposition TO the friars is an
artificial propaganda fostered by the in
surgents and by the Filipino priests, who
are themselves leaders In the insurrection,
and are using II to obtain control OF the
church in the islands.
Scouting in the Philippines.
