Schwan. who has been General Otis's chief of
staff in the Philippines for nearly a year ar
rived here from Manila on the transport
Thomas He will remain in San Francisco for
a short time. awaiting orders from Washington
assigning him duty elsewhere. Concerning
the situation in the Philippines General Schwan
is hopeful that il will not be many months be-
fore affairs viii have naturally adjusted them
selves to the American control and the robber
gangs will have been stamped out. He SAYS:
The robber bands melted by native pol
itcians who impose on the credulity OF the
common herd. No people are so credulous as the
lower class of the Filipinos These leaders have
been melting the ex-soders 10 continue on the
warpath assuring them that an American cleo
ton is soon coming and Mckinley would be de-
feated and the Americans withdrawn from the
Philippines.
There are about sixty thousand troops in the
Philippines now. That number is ample for the
situation. The islands are well covered with
American troops. carefully distributed at all
the strategic points and each garrison reSpOnsi-
Bile for its own sphere of action. Many of the
robber bands armed principally with keen
edged bolos, the native weapon. They pillage
small towns and frequently cut the tilrOats of
natives who have been friendly TO Americans.
By degrees. however. the distributed garriSOnS
are gaining the confidence of the townspeople
where they are stationed, and already have sue
ceeded in some cases in getting native help TO
guide them 10 the robbers.
After the wet season and after the National
elections in this country the pacifiCatiOn of the
Philippines will naturally complete itself. The
natives quickly acquiring the English Ian
guage and even the troublesome class send
children 10 school 70 learn English. We are in
complete military possession of the islands. The
only problem is the civil government and that
will come as natural consequence OF the 9TH
