Manila. September 2.-The peace com
missions announcement of it's assump-
tion OF power yesterday has met with
childish comment at the hands of the
Span1ards and foreigners who jealousy
sneer al the new arrangement A ma
jority Of the islanders desire peace and
the resumption of business under the
Americans but they are SO cowed by a
long series Of murderous atrocities and
destruction of property by their armed
coun6rymen that they dare not actively
show their feelings. A genuine reign of
terror IS exercised by Insurgents and
ladrones over peaceful country folk in
order 70 collect the revenues and recruits
their Operati require and widespread
vengeance Is xVreaked IN the vicinity OF
garrlsOned towns.
Any change of policy involving the
withdrawal Of the United States troops
without substituting for them an ade-
quate offensive force, is certain to result
in fearful retaliation at the expense of
the frIend1Ies. L he approaching patria-
ton of the volunteers tends to influence
the situation unfavorably
is fairly well maintained. But in South
ern LuzOn conditions are far from satis-
factory Life there is not safe outsi de the
garrIsoned towns. Rarely does a day
pass without an encounter between the
United States troops and the insurgents
or Iadrones resulting in casualties. There !
are Is, 600 troops in that district The
activity OF the enemy increased last
month. There IS evidence that the in
surgents have come into possession of
new rifles and that they wish to annihi- /
late some smaIls American garrisons. Con-
ditions IN the Visayans continue virtu-
ally unchanged.
Nevertheless the imports for the last
quarter and half were greater than
during any equal period of the Spanish
regime. The internal revenue collection
is a third greater than made by Spain.
This Is due to an honest system of ac-
counts, TO a lack of favoritism and to i'm
partial enforcement of the law. The mil.
itary authorities Will turn over sc, ,OOO. 900

Montpelier, VT, September 2.-The
close of the campaign in Vermont came
last night with political gatherings in
nearly every city and town in the state.
Tuesday will be election day, and the

plan OF campaigning, through flag rails

Of literature.
This year the canvass has not been
quite as vigorous as that Of four years
ago. although the Democrats have done a
larger amount of work. The national
committee sent in outside speakers, but
speaking, the details OF the
campaign plan were worked out by local
The senatorial fighters, and
the license issue will enter into the bal
lot to some extent. The Legislative fight
was precipitated by the candidacy of
William W. Grout and
former Governor William P. Dillingham;
for United States senator.
The Republicans 1t Is understood do
not figure on receiving the plurality of
40 600 which they secured four years ago
and in their loss, the Democrats count
their gain.
