WOE OF MR.. WILDMAN
EX-CONSUL SAYS A REIGN OF TER
ROR EXISTS In PHILIPPINES.
Calls for More troops to Be SEN to
the IsIands-Says the Group Is
Worthless in Present Shape.

NEW YORK, May edwin Wildman,
former vice consul at Hong-Kong, contrib
utes an article on "A Reign of Terror in
the Philippines" to Leslie's Weekly, of
which the following is an abstract:
although General Otis would nave us
believe that the war in the Philippines is
over, L learn from private sources of infor-
nation of the highest authority that there
exists a veritable reign of terror in most
parts of the archipelago, within gunshot
of our army posts. Either General Otis is
blind to the situation, or is keeping the
real facts from the American people.
Aguinaldo's forces nave scattered into
marauding bands, and, leaguing themselves
with the mountain Tulisanes and Ladrones.
terrorize the country and effectually check
the cultivation of crops and the sale Of
marketable products.
1.-The few ports that nave been opened
have shipped away little supplies
they collected, and the tons upon tons of
hemp, sugar and rice that are stored in
the interior are beyond the reach of buyers.
The money paid for the thousands of bales
of hemp shipped from garrisoned ports has
found it's way into the insurgents Golfers
ana the REVOLUTIONARY JullldS OF I1OHs-
Kong and Singapore are making extensive
purchases of arms. preparatory to a re-
newed season of filibustering and general
hostilities as soon as the rainy season is
over. Our army is busy protecting it's
posts. while the insurgents carry on their
operations in the interior and paralyze
agriculture and trade.
Scattered bands of armed insurgents
wage war against all who hesitate to ac-
knowledge the Aguinaldo government, and
the inhabitants are in a state of terror
that prevents honest industry or open al
lance with American sovereignty. The
American troops make short work of these
robbers, but our garrisons are so far apart
and few in number that they invariably
are obliged to fall back to a seaport town
where they can get supplies from Manila,
for the insurgents have so thoroughly raw
aged the country that 1t is impossible to
supply even a small battalion with native
products.
III we ever hope to put an end to this
Indian warfare We must send additional
forces to the islands. Dur present corps is
totally inadequate to cope with the situa-
ton and bring the war to a close. The is
lands. commercially or otherwise, will be
utterly useless until life and property are
made safe

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE attention Of
the House. this week, will be occupied by
various miscellaneous matters. except such
time as may be devoted to the considera-
tion Of conference reports on appropriation
bills. which will be given the right of way.
The desire for an adjournment early in
June makes 1t absolutely necessary to ex-
pedite the supply bills. The most important
piece of general legislation TO be acted on
this week will be the bill to amend the gen.
cra1 pension laws. This bill was amended
at the request of prominent @. A. r. Of
ficials and is known as the G.. A. r. bill.
The principal changes 1T proposes in exist
Ing law are provisions for aggregating dis
abilities and equalizing ratings, and to in
crease the limit OF income of widows, PEN
sionable under the act of 1890. to $3.50. This
bill will be placed on its passage to-mor-
row. under suspension of the rules. The
bill appropriating 100000 for the militia
OF the several States also may be called up

the election commissioners at Crothers-
Vile by Sheriff Goss. n the Republican

The action of the Democrats In this matter
has caused a split in the party. and the
