In order to meet these guerrilla tactics
the fifty-three military stations of the
American army in the Philippines on
Nov. |, 1899, has been increased to four
hundred and thirteen by Sept. l, 1900.
Naturally enough, this wide distribution
of troops to meet the insurgents ''has
strained the soldiers to the full limit of
endurance" In the numerous Skin
mishes which General Macarthur SAYS
did not assume the dignity of a combat
the American losses in the period men
toned were Dos killed, 720 wounded and
80 captured. The losses to the Filipinos
were more than tenfold that of the
Americans but account must be taken
of the suiferings and disease of the
American soldiers in the desultory war
fare in the morasses and canebrakes of
Luzon. While this warfare lacks the
"pomp and circumstance" of great fields
of battle. General Macarthur truly says
it demands all the discipline and valor
necessary for the success of large mill
tary operations.
The Filipnos, the general says, are
not ferociOus or warIike people but
they are maddened by rhetorical sophistry
and in all doubtful matters go with their
kith and kin against those they regard
as foreign invaders. He admits that
there is really almost complete unity of
sentiment among them against the Amer
ic'ns and says that even when a town
has been "pacifed" and acknowledged
our authority its people contribute to
the support of the Insurgents, secrete
the guerriilas and help them to escape,
and he sees no reason to believe this
will not continue in the entire archipelago,
except portion of Mindanao. There
fore he expects to need more soldiers
rather than less and the unans werabe
reasons he gives all demand speedy in
crease of the army.

The Philippine Situation.
Mirror and Farmer.

General Macarthur, who commands
the American forces in the Philippines,
is a very different man from General Otis,
whom he succeeded, for whereas Otis
busted himself with writing proclama-
tions predicting the collapse of the insur-
rection in a few days and announcing
that he was about ready to proclaim
peace, Macarthur cOnceives it to be his
duty In making reports to state the facts
as they are and the situation as it is and
is likely to be.
His official report to the war depart
ment, which Is evidently impartial and
accurate, is therefore most important.
The war be says is by no means over,
and he does not expect to see the end of
it for many years. The army which
Aguinaldo led has been shattered and
scattered and 1t no longer meets ours in
the open field, but it has dissolved into
guerrilla bands which appear and disap-
pear at frequent intervals, keeping up a
desultory warfare and pursuing the
same tactics the Cubans adopted against
the Spanards. The character of the
country makes this sort of resistance
very effective.

The Army.
I Mirror and Farmer. |

The Mirror has believed from the be-
ginning that if our country was to
embark in colonial expans ion in the East
and take a hand with the world powers
in that quarter, standing army of at
least 100000 men and Il navy to cores
pond would be absolutely necessary.
We are therefore not surprised by the
information that Lieutenant-GeneIal
Miles and the war department will ask
congress to provide for the organization
of 100000 troops as permanent esta lish-
ment aud that Admiral Crownlngshield' S
report sets for the need of $50 additional
officers of the line, $50 of other grades,
800 machinists and 5000 enlisted men.
This will be four times as many sol
diers and twice as many sailors as con-
stituted our military forces before the
war with Spain. 1t will call for an out
lay of about 5000, 900, 900 annually and
will of course add largely to the pension
list.

neither of the se cayses is wort hy of the
men who first wrote down in English
that political Slfberty was 'uLalienable'
and "a self evident truth"
Turning TO the practical results of the
election, the Speaker says that "the
American people have pledged them
selves to one of two inevitable courses.
"Either they will plunge into that hope
less morass, the continued attempt to
conquer under conditions that forbid
conquest, or they will consent to admit
themselves beaten and will retire by
force when they might have retired of
their own free will. The first misfortune
is that which has throughout history
been the principal and most obvious
cause of national decline. The second is
sharp humiliation which selfish aris-
tocracy or VI Use despot may inflict on a
nation, but which a democracy of all
forms of government will be most re-
luctant to adopt; and If 1t is better than
a hopeless and weakening struggle, yet
it certainly lessons for a time the
strength of any nation compelled to it,"
AS to the result of the present policy
the Speaker does not hesitate to say
"That the half-barbarous, tropical
Philippines, with millions of inhabitants,
can be conquered and administered by
the olunteers of an unmilitary demOc-
racy, living in temperate climate on
the other side of the world. is a fantastic
notion"
This is undoubtedly the judgment of
those among our own people who have
given TO the subject a dispassionate and
open. minded study. But these do not
yet relinquish the belief that before an
other year shall pass public opinion will
insist, and the president who keeps his
"ear to the ground" will consent, that
peace with honor be attained by conced-
ing to the Philippines substantially the
freedom that we promised and are giving
to Cuba./

Says Christian People Favor All Wars.
fprovidpnca m \ BRASS Disnotcb 1,

Providence (R. ~ Press Dispatch, ID.
At the congress of the Episcopal
church of the United States today Ernest
II. Crosby of New York spoke upon
"War from the Christian Point of View"
After citing recent reports of battles and
setting forth the horrors of war in con-
nection with Gen. Sherman's historical
declaration, Mr.. Crosby said
"War is hate. Christianity is love. On
which side is the church of Christ to be
ranged?
"War is hell; the church should be
the kingdom of heaven. What truce can
there be between them?
"And yet the fact Is that the church
fayors war. Can you recall single SER
mon criticising warfare? In England
among the recent leading opponents of
war have been Harrison, the positivist /;
Spencer. the agnostic, and Morley, the
atheist, while the whole influence of the
bench of bishops has been thrown on the
side of bloodshed.
I'm our own country what has she
done to stay the arm of violence? In the
vigorous movement to prevent war she
has been almost silent. Has single re-
ligiOus journal been found on the side of
peace?
II have had some experience during
the past two years in addressing various
audiences on behalf of peace, and ! can
testify that as rule the common
people hear the message gladly.
sit is only in gatherings of professedly
Christian people that it fails to find a
responsive chord. am constrained to
assert as the result of my observations
that the churches are the chief strong
holds of the spirit of war.
There is just one way to overcome
war (Which means hatred and held, and
that is by the spirit of love and heaven.
What nobler function can the church full
fill than to spread abroad such spirit of
Christian love that no one of It's members
could find it in his heart to transfix a
fellow-creature with bayonet or mutt
late him with a sabre? That it should
fail to do so, and that il should Justify
such failure, is practical heresy be.
fore which any possible heresy of doc.
trine pales into insignificance. A Chris
tian war is as impossible as a Christian
murder"
Foreign missions and other religious
topics were discussed at the day and
evening meetings.

William Lahore was brought by Con-
stable Seeley to the county jail from
Bridport Wednesday in perforated con-
dition. The perforations were caused by
small bird shot from a gun alleged to
have been in the hands of the young
mans mother. William did not live with
his parents when at home. but worked
out in the neighborhood. lie is said to
have imbibed freely of strong liquor on
occasions and that Sunday night was one
of these occasions. He called on his
parents, who reside in the Crane neigh
borhood, and got into an alteration with
them. Believing in the efficacy of stone
throwing as an argument, William left
the house and proceeded to inject stones
thereinto through the windows. This
appears to haye annoyed his parents, and
the mother threatened to shoot him if he
did not desist. He did not; whercupon
the gun was discharged and the load Of
small shot scattered itself throughout his
person. Eighty shot are said TO have
been removed subsequently,. none having
entered deep enough TO cause serious
wound. Fearing the vengeance of the
young man, the parents entered com
plant against him and he was brought to
Middlebury and locked up. \ preIimi-
nary hearing was called for , o'clock yes
terday afternoon, at which time the re-
spOndent waived examination and was
held to appear at the county court. The
bail was fixed at $500 which was not
furnished and the prisoner was commit
ted to mil

One of the duties imposed on the forth
coming session of congress is the matter
of reapportonment. The new census
makes this necessary. Under the present
arrangement one congressman is assigned
to each 173,90l of population or fraction
over. The new reapportionment will
probably be near 200, 900, with the under
standing that it will apply only to figur-
ing on increasing the number of con-
gressmen. 1t is believed that about
thirty congressman will be added to the
lower house of the national legislature at
the elections Of November, 1902.

The other day in the German reichstag
the famous speech of the kaiser to his
departing troops to give no quarter to
the Chinese. The speech is bearing fruit.
Private letters from German soldiers in
China tell of frightful tortures and
slaughter of Chinese in battles by Ger
man troops. No quarter was given, and
prisoners, after being compelled to dig
their own graves, were beaten, shot or
sabred to death. The scenes are said to
be indescribable.

The matter of transportation has raised
the greatest difficulty against which the
military powers of the world have had to
contend. To what ends they have been
driven is illustrated by the announcement
that an officer in the Austrian army has
invented small balloons, which will float
both men and horses across river.
They are to be fastened to belts around
the men and the harness of the horses.
