Too Soon for Railways. md Other
Investments.

The conversation here turned to the
possibilities of the islands, and | asked
General Otis if he thought there We're
many opportunities here for our capital
lists.
He replied that the resources of the
country were enormous, and that there
would undoubtedly be many chances for
money making as soon as the country was
perfectly quiet.
AT present said he. I'VE need the
army TO Keep peace and put down the in
SufSents, and We cannot spare troops to
protect American enterprises, such as
the building of railroads. There is no
DOUBT, however, that there are many
places where roads can be built at a
proht. A number of lines have already
Deen surveyed. notably some about La
Suna de Bay and into the southern and
eastern provinces. There are men now in
Washington trying to get concessions for
constructing such roads,
Then there are other projects contem
plated which will be carried out later on
Some things are hampered by the Span-
isn concessions. such as the cable and
other matters, but they will be satisfac-
torily settled.

At first they could not understand why
we did not withhold portion of the
wages for ourselves"
DO you think they will ever become
friendly to the Americans?''
Yes replied General Otis, when
through us they see the times becoming
good, themselves growing prosperous and
their country rich. Many of them are
afraid We will form trusts and monopo-
lie all the good things of the islands.
They are afraid the Filipinos will be de-
graded as laborers. They do not trust us
yet, but in time this distrust will pass
away"
Then you think our occupation CT the
Philippines a good thing, Generall?" /

AT this question the Generals face

Il have tried to have the truth sent
home and have interfered with the CORE
spondents as little possible"
HOW about the charge that you have
increased the numbers of the Filipino
dead?"
Ihat is not true, was the reply Il
nave always been. conservative in my re-
ports OF our engagements and have llsu-
ally reduced the figures to be on the
SAFE side. l have given orders to the of

men to count the dead after every en-

arrive at the exact truth"
With this the interview closed and the
General went back to his papers

Great Changes for Money Makers

AS to the general outlook for the de-
velopment of the Philippines along profit
able lines, think it is good and that there
VIII be many opportunities for money
making here in the future. The country
Is beyond conception rich, and much of i,
has hardly been scratched. There are
large tracts of virgin soil; there are de-
posts of iron, gold, copper and coal, and
the coal deposits are said to be extensive
and of good quality. The mountains arc
full of minerals and they are practicable
unprotected. Alphabetically there is M
better soil anywhere than in most parts
of these islands. The land will supnort
many times its present population
The Question of Labor.
How about labor, General? II &c sai6
the Filipino will not work"
II think that is mistake" replied Gen.
eral OTIS. These people have never ha
chance to work for good wages. They
have never been paid for their work. The
Spaniards gave them about Sc in silver 2
month, about 10 cents gold day and
many of the officials took out a commits
sion from these wages. Since we came
the cost of labor has risen. The meI

a Word About the Friars.

How about the friars?" | asked.
Il can't say just what will be done as
to church matters. The question of the
friars is one of the most serious ones we
nave to settle. Archbishop Chappelle
thinks he will be able to arrange it so
that they will be able to stay and hold
their property, but many of the Filipinos
do not like them. and in many places they
VIII not be permitted to come back to
their churches. They are causing me a
great deal of trouble. Just now they are
clamoring to have their catechism recited
daily In the public schools. / have told
them L could not permit that, and if par
ents want their children to have religious
instruction they must get ic outside the

When you have thoroughly pacified

Give me some idea of Aguinaldo, Gen
eral. Is he strong MANI"
No., said General Otis. Il do not con-
siItr Aguinaldo man of force or patriot
ism. He is a silent fellow, and has gotten
a. reputation for Wisdom by keeping his
mouth shut. He has shown by his ac-
items that he has little personal bravery
and that he also went into the war for

Not content with handling the mails
exclusively. Mrs. Upton constituted
herself an errand boy-and when any

chases made "in town" she would
make them-for a small consideration.
