MANILA. May 31--Tbe American au-

cess of the latest movement to solve
some Of the problems arising from the

formed in this city Tor the purpose of

TIE effects of the revolution have been
severe and widespread, an5s it is the in
tention Of the organization to assist the
Government in securing labor and re-
storing affairs to a normal condition in
order to bring about public tranquility.
There is every reason to believe that
the project viii be successful one,
since the aid Of many prominent former

men as Geronimo, Buencamino, Bias
FiIlamOr, and AboueZ have agreed TO
cooperate.

ing its attention to the work of supply
ing two thousand laborers in the Ben
guet district for ROAD Improvement

viii be no difficulty in securing the re
quired number Of men for this and
other public enterprises.

thoroughly declare that This is one of
the best corrective measures for the
purpose Of destroying the tendency of
the natives toward lawiessless. If

weapon to a man, who, IN turn, loaned it
