NEW POLICY.
The arrest of a Tagal on the charge
of being 4 guerilla, as reported from
Manila yesterday. it is said at the War
Department marks the initiation OF an
other policy toward the Insurgents who

logical outcome OF an unsuccessful re-
5beIlon AS the summary punishment of
gueriilas. cannot be had until some action
has been taken to declare the termination
OF the application of the rules of war,
1T Is said at the War Department that
Gen. Otis has already issued some kind
OF proclamation or. notice to the natives
warning them II they defy the rules of
war and pursue a predatory warfare.
they will be treated as guerillas when
captured.
The President Is deyottng special atten-s
ton to the formation of the new Philip
pine commissions, acting upon the advice
that the army has reached the end of
Its functions In the Islands and that the
time is ripe for Nhes esta biishnient5 of civil
governments throughout the archipelago.
It IS hoped that the personnel can be.
completed before the end Of AA11 MSAk.
