The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1900-08-18

Summarizing the present military sit
uation, we must acknowledge the ex-
istence of many strong armed forces
operating in nearly every province.
These forces, while apparently acting
Independently of any central direction,
are too big to be called robber bands.
Many of them are under the command
of men who have been well known as
insurgent leaders since the very first
day of fighting.
AS for the mass Of the people not
sympathizing with them and helping
them financially, there are only too
many evidences that they do.
1t is said that in every town occu-
pied by our troops and regulated by
native officials who have been installed
at our direction, there is a separate
and secret organization run in the in
terests of the Filipino cause. The bulk
of the taxes are collected by the latter
ton and are undoubtedly given
to the insurgent cause.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1900-08-18

Even the presidenteS whom we have
| Installed have turned out badly, and in
many instances it has been proved that
| the people of the town deliberately Sc
lected men who they knew could be re-
lied upon to exercise their positions to
the benefit of the fighting men out in
the hills or harrios.
OF the ninety five presidentes ap-
pointed in one military district in the
north of Luzon, this. officer who has
charge of the municipal government
admitted that not a single one could be
trusted. And yet this is not a Tagalo
district. In another district the gen.
eral commanding told me that of the
fifty-five local presidents that we have
appointed there were only three whom
he could trust.
IN the vicinity of Paniqui and Bau-
tista. on the railroad, there are twenty
two 0residentes under arrest, one of
whom is likely to he sentenced to death.
When Colonel Smith routed General
Macabulos he found letters from our
own presidentes giving the general
news of the movement, together with
the number of Americans in the COM
mand that was to attack him. There
have been many similar letters found
at various times which have implicated
local officials, and examples of double
dealing are so frequent and common
that one is led to regard nearly all of
our attempts to enlist native aid as
fruitleSs and vain.
1t seems to me that the existence of
these conditions in the towns which
have had an opportunity to judge of the
benefits of American occupation at
least disoroves the official contention
that the people are not in sympathy
with the insurrection.

n1iEfarY Situation in be Philippines.


| Most of the military leaders of the
insurgents are still at liberty. Cen
erals Tino, Macabulis, Mascardo and
Aleiandrino are still in the north, all
of them with well armed forces.
This sulIen Indifference is found pref
! ty generally through the towns held by
our troops. The people don't like the
Americans. We have found many Of
them who were believed to be honestly
friendly, but time has proven that they
were Stimulating.
Some of our most promising local
presidentes have been found guilty Of
the rankest treachery toward the Am
orleans. 1t is doubtful whether they
hated the Spaniards as much as they
hate the Americans.
Between them and the Spaniards
there were some instincts and ties in
common. Intermarriage was quite fire.
quent Long association had grated
into the native character many of the
habits and likes of the Spaniards.
With the Americans it is different
There isn't an impulse that is common
to the two races. We may mean we'll,
but they don't understand our ways.
Neither do we understand theirs. When
patience and forbearanCe would be i'm
mensely effective, the American meth
DDS hurry and irritate the people.
When we first came they thought
the Americans were going to suppplant
their religion with Professionalism; la
ter they thought that the Americans
were going to reinstate the hated fri
ars in the parishes: now it's hard to tell
what they think. Perhaps they've
come to the conclusion that religion
cuts little figure either way. for they
have been unsDeakably shocked to see
the American theatre running full blast
during the holy week with good at
tendance from our local circles.
We send out big expeditions to cap
ture the insurgents, and when we have
captured them we release them. One
day cur soldiers wade streams, climb
mountains, suffer from hunger, sleep
in the mud-all to catch some insur-
gerts. The next day all the insurgents
are released. It's no wonder the natives
don't understand American methods.
We have been here nearly two years,
but I don't know of an American SOL
der or officer who can speak single
native dialect. Furthermore, no one
is making an effort to gain the one ac-
quirement which would be SO inestim-
ably valuable in bringing about a bet
ter understanding between the Amer
leans and FilipinOs.

hnd that the canvass hardly Sis
talns the optimistic reports to be hat
al headquarters in Manila. In othe
words, there is still good deal of fight
ing going on; there is a widespread
almost general, hatred of the Ameri
cans; there are approximately 20. OO
j rlhes st1ll in possession of the Filipinos
and there are numberless forces o1
armed men operating in many dis.
tricts.
That the irsurgent army as an or
eanlzed force holding definite limita
lions of territory and maintaining an
orderly and tangible formation is
broken and disrupted there is no doubt
Instead of knowing that the enemy
holds certain towns and districts. and
that fight is necessary to possess
those districts, our troops can now plan
no movement or expedition with the
certainty of making contact with an
armed force
Reports which tell of the presence of
large bodies of armed Filipinos in the
vicinity of garrison towns frequently
are brought in, but when a force of
Americans goes out to find them they
are gone-that is, If the American force
is strong one.
But let a small body go out, and the
woods and hills will be found alive
with rihemen and bolomen. The Fill
pino method of warfare has changed
from their Old defiant methods to a
new and more insidious one, that is as
much if not more to be feared.
It will be remembered that Tarlac
was taken without a shot, and that
our troops occupied in turn all the
provinces of the north with fewer than
a dozen fights of any consequence.
From that time on 1t became a foot
race after the demoralized bands that
were leaving the Tarlac lowlands.
There was no established capital, no
machinery Of governplent, no grand
army and half the cabinet surrendered
,r were captured.
Officially the revolution was crushed,
out General Conception, Aguinaldos |
thief of staff, uttered dissenting opin- |
on.
The insurgents. or robbers, or la
rones. still have between $4,000 and !
600 rifles l have no record of the !
lumber we have captured, but General !
Bell. one of the most active and sue
essful officers operating on the is
ands admits that he has captured only
bout 400 altogether.
An official bulletin was once posted
4 Manila which detailed the surrender
f 800 arms and men at Bayombong.
have since learned that only forty
ifies were really captured, while the
eneral who surrendered stated that
here were 800 in the province.
In all the capture of arms there has
cen very small proportion of Maui
ers. Assuming 5000 to be very lib
raj estimate of the rifles we have TAX
n, it is, therefore. seen that the Fill
mos still have nearly 10000 in their
possession.

Cattle Feeding.


Among the comments brought ut
on the Sheldon stock ieeling arti lie
published in the Pass, one at least
is worthy reproduction. George
Hardwick, OF Logan twp. says in hi s
experience he has learned that cattle
going suddenly from the green feed
OF this fall to any dry feed would
cause Indigestion. Some OF his eat
tie that had not been in corn stalks
at all showed the same symptoms
as the corn stalk cattle. In both
cases, however, ne contends the
cause is the same, indigestion and
gas on the stomach or in the bowels.
His remedy, said to produce acure
whenever tried is this: Give the ami
NAL a cup OF vinegar, a handful OF
salt and a spoonful oil ~saleratus,
and he says the Indigestion or cause
OF it will pass away.
