there is nothing to do but to undertake

| The arrest of Tagal on the charge

ment, marks the initiation of another
policy toward the insurgents who still
remain under arms; or rather the de-
yelopment OF the old policy toward the
logical outcome OF an unsuccessful re-
bellion. AS the summary punishment
of guerillias cannot lie had until some
action has been taken to declare the
determination OF the application of the
rules of war, 1t Is assumed at the War
Department that General Otis has al
ready issued some kind of proclama-
tion or notice to the natives, warning
them that If they defy the rules of war
and pursue a predatory warfare they
will be treated as guerillas when cap
tured.
