Filininos do not like them. and I'm many
places they viii not be permitted TO come

and that II parents want their children
to have religious instruction they must
get 1t outside the schools supported by
the government, We have had fuss with
them as to the marriage question, and
there VIII also be considerable trouble
as TO titles and church property"
The conversation here turned 60 the
possibilities OF the islands. and I asked
Gen Otis If he thought there were many
opportunities mere for our capitalists.
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
surgents. and we cannot spare troops to
protect American enterprises, such az the
building OF railroads. There is no doubt,
however. that theRe are many places
where roads can be built at profit A
number of lines have already been sur
veyed, notably some about I.aguna de
Bay and into the southern and eastern
provinces. There are men now In WASH

the FORCES can be greatly reduced"
How about Americans attempting TO
travel alone throughout the Philippines?
DO you consider 1t safer / asked.
No. do not said Gen. Otis IT
don't think Americans should go into the
interior unless they are In parties or
are with the soldiers. There would be
less danger, perhaps, for Englishmen, but
In the mountains no one is safe There is
no telling when you may be attacked by
band Of bandits or so-called insurrec-
tos. who, II you are an American, will
claim the right to rob or kill you under
the pretext of war"
But, general" said I. ''if the organ
lied resistance has stopped as YOU saw
why can't you declare the war at an end
and treat these people as robbers and
murderers and hang or shoot them when
you take thefhf This would soon put
end to their business. would Il not?"
II might" said Gen. Otis, but IL
we did that II would also put an end to
the lives of 100 or more OF our soldiers
who are now prisoners In their hands
They would cut their Threats as soon as
the proclamation was issued. These pris-
oners are men who have in one way or an
other wandered away from their brigades
or companies and been captured"
AS to the robbers" continued the gem
eral, land in this include the insurrectos
the people in most of the districts are
afraid to inform against them. They not
only attack the Americans. but also rob
the natives This is especially so with the
Tagalos. Their patriotism IS OF pocket
book nature. They are In the war only
for what they can get out OF II, and IL
they cannot get anything from us they
will prey upon their own people,"
"If that Is the case they would fight for
