the American forces in the Philippines
at present were sufficient for all needs.
OF course, he said, General MacAr-
thurs present army could not furnish
a guard TO protect every Filipino house
hold from the Ladrones; to do that
would require a force of no less than
100000 troops, and then the task would
occupy many years. AS a matter of
fact, he said, Spain had spent several
centuries in the effort to stamp out the
Ladrones in the Philippine group, and
there was reason to believe that those
brigandS are scarcely more numerous
now than they were during the Spanish
occupation, when the islands were NOM
lnally at peace with Spain. General
Otis was confident. however, that con-
ditions would steadily improve. and
that little by little these robber bands
would be driven away.
Meanwhile he admitted that il was
often dangerous for Filipinos of the
better class, whose interests naturally
lay in American sovereignty, to admit
their preferences, for they were subject.

which the following extract is taken;
Your editorials touching the talk
