Under Practically Autonomy.
The Autonomy Party Formally Launched by
Fiiipnos, Sunday. 4. Manila.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The war de-
partment has made public a series Of
report is made to Gen. Macarthur by
the subordinate officers constituting
the heads of the various bureaus and
departments which have administered
the civil affairs of the Philippine Is
lands during the last year. These arc
closely but sufficiently summarized in
the report of Lieut.. Col. Crowder. 10Th
Inf, secretary to the military gov
ernor
Under the head OF the treasury de-
partment ii is said that the problem
Of securing stable currency has never
approached definite solution in the
Philippines. though il had not been
pressed for immediate settlement un-
til very recently. when United tSates
and Mexican dollars were for a few
days evenly exchanged. This was ter
minated by a provisional order where
by the government arranged to reim-
burse the banks for any losses they
m ght sustain through paying out Mex
lean silver FOR United States currency
from dsbursing officers and trade.
Doubt is expressed. however, as to the
desirability Of continuing this ar
rangement.
The customs service is discussed at
some length in the report and it is
stated that there does not seem to be
any present necessity for an increase
H. the number Of ports ~ entry. Atten-
ton rs directed To the marked increase
