MANILA QUIET AND ORDERLY
RESTRAINT OF THE LIQUOR TRAF-
FIC OF THE CITY.
Advance Notes of the Report of Gen.
Otis-Crfme Swiftly and Prop
erly Punished.

In the report of Maj. Gen. Otis. as gov
ernor general of the Philippines, the proofs
of a part of which have been received at
the War Department, the following is stat
ed concerning the government of the city
Of Manila:
THE money expended to police and i'm
prove the city of Manila. to make the nee
essary repairs on roads and bridges, to
place government buildings which were di-
lapidated in a proper state of preservation.
to stamp out the infectious diseases of
smallpox and bubonic plague, to maintain
large native police battalion numbering
go men, together with the money required
to defray the ordinary incidental expenses,
has been greater by about one-half than
the city's collected receipts. What these re-
ceipts did not supply has been taken from
the general funds, the expenditures were
considered to be imperative The popula-
ton Of Manila Is much congested. The
work of the provost marshal general has
been incessant and has required for it's eX-
ecution administrative ability of a high
order and IN many respects very delicate
manipulation.
'The floating popula ton is large and diff
ficult to keep in check. The liquor traffic
always has been extensive, especially in
the matter of Intoxicating native drinks
This traffic has been the subject of con-
Germ and mature deliberation. In reducing
the number of licenses which Spain granted
freely the natives complained grievously
that they were deprived of the privileges
which Spain bestowed. Notwithstanding
these complaints they We're greatly dimin-
ished but could not be entirely withheld
nor could the traffic be destroyed by any
means within our power. Experience led to
the belief that 1t could be controlled through
careful manipulation under stringent Ii
cenSe law"
An order issued by the provost marshal
of Manila is also given showing. the re-
strictons that have been placed upon the
saloons and giving the license fees which
are charged. Following this order the re-
port continues:
The best restraining influences have re-
suited in placing the liquor traffic under the
control of the police and their officers, and
have been attended by the reforms antict-
pated and promised. doubt if there is any
where more quiet and orderly city than
Notwithstanding its great mass Of floating
population Of divers nationalities and the
dense ignorance of a portion of its inhabit-
ants. or city in which proper punishment
for crime is more swift or sure. The rec
ords of the courts both civil and military,
ara cited in proof Of this statement, and
the native applications for redress for sup
posed wrongs or injuries suffered show that
the native population has confidence in the
justness of our government.
Not only is the population and business
Of the city increasing, but that population
Is passing through a rapidly changing social
environment, due to the introduction of
new methods and improved labor conditions,
also to recent greatly augmented real prop
