REPORT or GREAT INTEREST.
Gen. McAr.hur's Annual statement
OF Dealings with Filipinos.

H"| VA 1873 VIII VtIuDS1OSs
The annual report of Maj. Gen. Mao
Arthur, dated July 4, 1901, the day that
he relinquished command of the division
OF the Philippines, he been received at
the war department. The period covered
by the report is from October 1, 1900, when
the last report from Gen. Macarthur was
dated. He reviews the policy of the Fill
ipinos who were hostile to the Americans,
saying that their action since the practical
collapse of the insurrection has been a
most perplexing problem. With the
complete disbandment of the insurgent
field armies the Filipinos organized des-
perate resistance by banding the people
together in support of the guerrilas. This
was carried out by means of secret COM.
mittees, who collected contributions, in-
flicted punishments and carried on a con-
siderable opposition to the Americans.
Gen. Macarthur reviews the AMI in
which operations were carried on against
these guerrilas and says that he hopes the
policy adopted will in time conciliate the
natives and make them friendly to the
United States. The education of the peo-
pie in times past made them suspicious OF
any government benefcence, and they
evidently looked upon the lenient attitude
of the United States as indicating weak
ness. Gen. Macarthur says that the proc
lamation issued on Dec, 20, firmly declar-
ing the intention of the United States t.
hold the islands and to have the laws
obeyed, had a good effect, and the secret
resistance was much abateL
A considerable portion of the report is
devoted to the field operations of the army,
showing that OF Oct. l, 1900, it occupied
Alb stations, which was of necessity in-
creased to 500 stations, every command be.
ing in contact with some hostile force. He
speaks of the good service of the army, and
says as a result of the cooperation be-
tween b army and the people who have
accepted the invitation to combine for mu-
tual protection, the armed instruction is
almost suppressed.
Gen. Macarthur gives the following sta
tistics from May 8, 1900, to June 80, 1901
During which time there were 1,026 con-
facts between American troops and insur.
gents), which show the casualties on butn
sides:
Americans-Killed, 245; wounded, 400;
captured, 118; missing, 2O.>
lnsurgents-Killed, 1854; wounded, L.
1893; captured, 6,572; surrendered, 23,O95.
Material captured from the insurgents:

NA"hy Will BE Deprived OF Chance

TAX list is good, fifty odd newspapers in
South Dakota are short between $50, 900
and $4,000 on what they had figured a few
days ago.. In addition to this the clerk
ana treasurer have incurred expense and
thrown rway a lot Of valuable time.
The scavenger tax law OF the last legis.
latlve session provided for the publication

county. OF all taxes or real property de.
lirQuent the past several years. These
taxes constituted a sum total that is then
certified to the clerk Of the courts, and the
amount becomes a judgment against the
property.
Under this law, chapter 81, session laws
OF lS0l, the treasurer in each county has
prepared a list for publication of delin.
quent taxes for the year 1870 and for each
prior year. In some counties the job was
too big an undertaking for the printing
offices and the matter has been set up out.
si'le with typesetting machines.
But now ONE the attorney general O!
the state with an opinion that but one fee
a"@ oc paul tOT cdcl bcueCdl eScrlpClOn-
Tor the entire amount of taxes due. For
instance, lots l to 90. block 2, with tho tax
for tue different years, car be assessed but
one fee for publication, and but one fee in
printing judgment. There may be taxes
due on ten or fifteen lots, and copy has
been furnished the printer, showing such
Delinquency by years, giving number of
lot, block, etc. Often one of these descrip.
tons occupies several inches of space in a
newspaper, and would require the same
work in copying into the Judgment book.
The attorney general is Of the opinion that
but ont fee can he charged for the work
instead of each lot each year constituting
an entry. Herein was the meat to the
whole business.
If the contention of the attorney general
is good, the work must be done by county
clerks aud newspapers at a considerable
loss. The larger the list the greater the
loss. The county clerks and county treas
urers and newspaper offices have done a
lot of work for which it would now appear
there must he little Or no pay.
