Washington, Dec. 1.-THE war de-

first annual report of Major General
Adna R. Chaffee. military governor of
the Philippine Islands. General Chat
fee sums up the situation in the Phil

Islands of Samar, Mindoro, Cebu and
Bohol constitute the area now dis

nature of the warfare of the rebels.

hour; to the humanity of the troops,
which is taken advantage of by the
rebels and the inhabitants who sympa-
thize with them, and to the fear of
assassination on the part Of the friend
ly disposed il they give information
to the American forces, is due to the
prolongation of the guerilla warfare.
Commenting upon the plan of grad
ually replacing military with civil ad
ministration, General Chaffee says
THE withdrawal of interference with
civil affairs does not contemplate
x,,;t a rc
stations to any considerable extent;
on the contrary, this should not be
done hastily, and when undertaken
should be gradual and more in the ma
ture of concentration than reduction
of force or abandonment of any con-
siderable area of territory. He there
fore recommends that there be no
further material reduction of troops
before January 1. 1908.
On the subject of the military gov
ernment of the city of Manila, General
Chaffee says: In the government of

where apparent that an excellent foun-
dation has been laid and turbulent
and hostile community brought to OBJ

derly; this has been done without un-
due harshness or severity of treatment
of the inhabitants
General Chaffee devotes a good part
OF his report to the terrible disaster
which befell Company C. Ninth Infan-
try. at Balangiga, Samar, and which
he says was largely due to over-con-
fidence in assumed pacified conditions.
and in people who to great extent
as yet are strangers to and unappre-

liberty, beliefs and actions" American
soldiers, he says, fail to discriminate
between real and assumed friendship
on the part of the Filipinos.
A table is submitted, showing that
since June 10 last, the date of the last
table submitted by General Macarthur,
up to September Is, 361 Filipino off,
GERS and 1888 men surrendered to the
American military, and 26 officers and

.Lzs Thrown
FOUND WITH BROKEN NECK

Edward J. Matthews Rode Vicious
Horse, With Fatal Results. to Watch
the Hounds-Body Lay In the Road
For Some Time.
Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-On Saturday
Edward J. Matthews, of New York,
president OF the American District
Telegraph company, was killed by be
Ing thrown from his horse while
watching the Radnor hounds hunt
fox.
The spot where he met his death is
near the covered bridge at rd's
dam, about one mile from here. Mr.
Matthews did not ride to the hounds
The mare that he usually rode was
out OF condition, and the only horse
available was one belonging to his
son. a new and untried animal. called
Devil on account of it's vicious dis
position. Mr.. Matthews mounted
Devil and rode to the field to see the
hounds throw off. He had no inten.
tion OF riding with the pack, but as
the dogs failed to find on the CasSatt
property, he rode along in the rear
OF the hunt and watched it from the
hilltops. Then he stopped at his farm
and chatted with Dawson, his tenant
farmer. Hearing the hounds as they
circled round the hill, he started up
the road to get another view OF them.
1t is believed that some carriages
going on the covered bridge ahead of
him scared Devil" causing him to rear
and throw his rider. The occupants
of the carriages did not see the acci-
dent, and Mr.. Matthews lay for some
time in the road, dead, with broken
neck A farm boy was the first to
find the body, and almost simulta-
neously the hunt swept by in a field
further on.
A message was at once sent TO his
family, which is living in the Ogden
Doremus house, on Fifty-third street.
New York. Two sons. Wilbur and Ros-
coe, started at once for home, and
arrived there Saturday night His
other son, Frederick. and his daughter
remained with their mother. who is in
such delicate health that It is feared
that the news of ser bereavement will
kill her.
The spot where Mr.. Matthews was
killed has tragic traditions. Two
years ago coaching party was upset
and one person killed and one manned
for life. Last year, on the same spot,
Henry Wilbur was thrown from his
horse and killed.
George MaXton. coroner OF Berwyn.
at once empaneled jury, held his in.
quest, and verdict of accidental
death, by being thrown from his horse
on the public highway" was found.
