Macarthur, commanding army OF the
| Philippines, military governor OF the
island since May 5th. has submitted
his report to the war department He
refers to the change in Aguinaldo's
plans In abandoning army organization
and statring a guerilla warfare. The
conditions OF the country have AFFORD
ed advantages for such policy, he says,
as they enabled the insurgents to ap-
pear and disappear at convenience. At
one time they are soldiers, and immed-
lately after they are within the mes In
attitude OF peaceable natives. Widely
scattered formation of Filipinos quickly
/ followed the guerilla warfare. which led
to corresponding dissemination of
American troops, there being 80 mill
tary stations In the archipelago on
1 November /. 1899. and 4i3 stations on
September ], last. This resulted In a
large number OF minor affairs, many
.of which did not assumethe dignity OF

Left to themselves a large number OF

supremacy, which they are gradually
looming to understand means individua

lives and property. They have beer
maddened, however. the past five years
. by rhetorical sophistry and stimulant;
lapplied to national pride until the
lpower of discriminating in matters oi
Ipublic concern and private interests
have been almost entirely suspended
As substitute for all other considera'
tions the people seem to be actuated b,
the idea that in all doubtful matter
iof politics or war men are never nearel

kith and kin. regardless Of correct
ness."
General Macarthur after speaking
of the establishment OF a republican
form OF government in the islands
says;
In the light of existing conditions
Is difficult to realize that there Is an
possibility OF such future for the isl
J ands, especially so at present and 70
many years to come, and the necessit
of large American military and nava
force is too apparent to admit OF dis
cussion."
