that the largest group in our insane asylums are
farmers wives A popular lecturer a our Chau-

statements have been made during the last year

PROVED A FAILURE.
Civil Government In Several Philip

Military Control Resumed.

Manila, July 19.-The United States
civil commission announced Thursday
that after three months trial of pro-
vincial form of government in the is
lands of Cebu and Bohol and the PROV
ince of Batangas, Luzon, control of
those districts, owing to their incom-
plcle pacitication, has been returned
to the military authorities, it having
been proved that the communities in
dicated are backward and undeserving
of civil administrations. The provin-
cial and civil officials of these desig-
nated districts will continue their func-
tons, but are now under the aut hority
of Gen. Chatlee, instead of that of
Civil Gov. Taft, as heretofore. Gen.
Cllatlee has the power arbitrarily to
remove from Office any orall provincial
or civil officials, and TO abrogate any
section of the laws promulgated in
these three provinces. The residents
of the island of Ccbu have protested,
but without success. against the re-
turn of that island % military control.
Several towns in Ccbunrc still bcsicged
by the insurgents. The instruction
on the island of Bohol has been re-
ncwed, and insurgent sentiment in the
province of Ratnngas is strong. Gen.
Chatlee has ordered battalion of The
Thrtieth infantry to begin the occupa
tion of The island of Mindoro. The prov
ince of l;atnngas will be occupied by
the entire Twentieth infantry.
