NATIVE SECRET SOCIETIES
In Philippines Present Most For
mldabIe Problem to be Solved,
GENERAL B. M, YOUNG SAYS,

Chicago, April 0-Gencral Young
who has arrived here enroutc from
Manila TO Washington says that the
most formidable problem confronting
the United States government In the
Philippines today Is presented by tho
two great native secret societies, the
Katipunan and San danthan The first
named is dlstlnctively military In It's
character, and numbers among Its
members the real leaders OF the iasur'
rection. The second Is civil and en-
braces every native in the island who
Is in sympathy with the rebel cause
The second secures funds provisions
and arms for the first and informs It's
members OF all movements OF the
United States troops, The influence
OF these two organizations Is wide
spread and our means Of approaching
the prime movers are limited,
THE utmost secrecy governs the
work of all these societies, They are
crafty, skillful and we find to our
cost, trcacherous. Their hatred OF our
people is rs bitter as II Is groundless,
aud, in my opinion tho quickest and
best, II not the only way to wcan them
them from their prejudlces Is by
means OF American colonization of the
islands.
"Will Agunnldos capture have u
good effect on those still under arms?'
was asked,
"Ycs, II will probably lead many to
submit to what would appear The In
cvitablc, but just how wide this effect
will be am unable to say
"Gencral Tinio, the most formidable
general in the north, Is still holding
out, but through hope of reward he
may follow Aguinaldo's example, lie
commands an uncertain number Of
guerillas, perhaps 5000 who are in'
dependent in character, much as
Mosbys men were during the civil
war and who fly to cover at the first
signal OF serious danger
III u mail or paymastcr's squad
crosses their territory 1t Is waylaid and
usually most of It's members slain, but
let any large number OF troops follow
Immediately after and all that can be
seen are farmers toilng industriously
in the fields, We have tried to catch
Tinio again and again, but ho is as
slippery as as an eel,
Every town Of any size In North
ern Luaon has been organized under a
new system OF municipal government
A president or alcNlde and council to
correspond to our mayor and board OF
aldermen All the officers are natives
who have bcon encouraged to act for
themselves, under the guidance OF
military authorities in the regulation
OF all town affairs Though we have
had many cases of trcachery, the re
suits on the whole are encouraging
1t Is my belief, however, that the Fill
pinos are quite incapable OF self gov
ernment at present"
