wASHINGTON. May 2s.-The war de-
partment has received an interesting re-
port from Brig. Gen. Theodore Schwan,
u. S. ". dated on the transport Thomas
at sea, May 12, 1900, in which he submits
a thorough review of the state of affairs
in the Philippines up to the time of his
departure from Manila on April l6 last
making particular reference to what he
believes to be the irretrievable collapse
of the Filipino insurrection as a whole
and expressing the conviction that IL left
alone the Filipinos would soon demon
strate their absolute inability to govern
themselves.
THE principal islands" he says. ARE
now as before held with an iron grip
by the military In Luzon. Luna, as
well as all the coast towns of impor-
tance, are occupied by American troops"
Ipsursents' sole Hope.
Gen. Schwan states that the sole hope
entertained by the insurgents for a re-
vival OF the insurrection lies in the sup
position that the United States troops will
be obliged to abandon many of their pres
ent positions at the opening of the wet
season, owing to inability to secure sup
plies during that period and also I'm the
possibility of victory for the Democratic
or anti-expansion party In the coming
presidential campaign
Gen Schwan says the insurgents
think that such victory will mean the
withdrawal of all military forces now in
the islands.
Peace Heartily Hoped For.
With the exception of the savage noun
tain tribes and the numerous bands of
brigands says the report, the greater ma
jority Of both the educated and peasant
classes in the Philippines heartily desire
a restoration of peace under American
rule Many bands of robbers and brgands
form a disjointed nucleus for a prospective
recommendation of insurgent forces and the
renewed prosecution of the rebellion, says
Gen. Schwan.
Continuing the report says:
"Indeed. those guerrilla bands and their
depredations constitute all that is implied
by the philippine insurrection' as II now
exists.
THE operation OF troops and paeification
of towns not yet subdued will be carried
on rem rdless of the rainy season which, as
stated above. the insurgents believe will
cause an abandonment OF many important
towns by our troops"
Mutual District nm Obstacle.
In concluding his report. Gen. Schwan
says:
The most serious obstacle In the way OF
the complete pacncation OF the islands
now lies in the mutual distrust between
the troops and the Inhabitants. This, l
believe, will disappear after each class be-
comes more thoroughly acquainted with
the other and the benefits to be derived
from an intimate relationship with the
military becomes appreciated by the ma
q, C,,t ba Of ~ ha nd the work
for the troops will be greatly facilitated
when they gain the confidence of the well
disposed natives. When the latter md
that the troops have come to stay they

robber bands, turn about and assist the

haunts and plans and the days of the

MORE TUBERCULOSIS.
Nine Cows of the Herd of MI. Sterl-

HopbOttom. March 1..-Neighboring
dairymen may be Interested to know the
result of the recent tuberculosis test
made In the herd of cattle belonging To
l.. l.. Sterling. of Brooklyn Mr.. Ster-
ling has been breeding Holstein stock for
the past ten or twelve years, and owned
about fifty head, mostly of the Holstein
breed. Having lost COW which seemed
without doubt TO have had the much
talked of and much dreaded disease, he
applied to the state authorities for an
examination of the herd.
The result of this examination was that
nine COWS responded to the tubefculin
test, and six of these were recently
slaughtered. OF the six killed only one
gave any evidence of the disease having
made any mroad on any organ of the
body. In fact so very healthful was the
apparent condition of these animals that
many who We're observing with interest
the development of the case became con-
WINGED that tube rculosis Is something Of
scare Three of the condemned ami
mails are retained in quarantine, and the

1t is no doubt of the greatest import

stamp out the disease, If possible, but "A
