CIVIL GOVERNMENT
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Americanization of the Prov
ince Of Bulacan.
NATIVES SEEM PLEASED

! Commissioner Taft Explains Purpose
of United states to Give Civil Liber-
ty to Fiipinos and Develop Their
Self Governing Capacity.
GUGUINTo, Bulacan Province, P. l.,
Feb. 26-11:30 p. M.-The United States
Philippines commission has arrived here
from Manila and has organized pro-
vlncial government for this province,
which until recently was controlled by
the insurgents. The insurgent COM
mander is still at large, with band of
300 men. Nevertheless, the sentiments
OF peace and satisfaction with the
American sovereignty seem TO be as
prevalent as in provinces which have
previously been organized.
Ihe party arrived here in army Wag-
ons and native carts and were driven tS
the military headquarters. AS many
natives as could be crowded into the
hall were present.
The president of the town welcomed
the comm tssloners, declaring that the
people OF the province, which had been
watered with the blood Of Americans
ana flllplnos, earnestly hoped for the
establishment of a peaceful government,
guaranteeing personal liberty.
Judge Taft said he rejoiced at the fact
that the people of the province of BuIa.
can no longer misunderstood the object
OF the American government, which
was solely to secure for the people the
blessings of civil liberty and to develop
their self governing capacity.
During the afternoon there was big
meeting III the chapel, and the bill ap.
plying the provincial act to Bulacan
probably will be discussed.

the legislature appointed to investigate
the coal miners strike in this state has
made a report, which declares there is
much justice in the complaints of the

ercised. Legislation is recommended as

ment.
An anti screen law.
More stringent requirements in re-
gard to ventilation.
Better regulations for the weighing
of coal.
A pay day every two weeks.
An anti.trus law.
An anti pooling law.
An effective anti scrap law and better
enforcement of the state laws by the

EPIDEMIC IN THE PHILIPPINES
Twenty Five Thousand Cariboo Die
On One Island.

MANILA, Feb. 20 An epidemic of rim
derpest exists in the Viscayan islands.
The disease first appeared on Buriah's
island and spread thence to Ticio and
Masbate, and it is now appearing on
the island of Panay. Twenty five thou
sand cariboo have already died on Mas.
bate island. The natives are dependent
upon the cariboo for agricultural opera
tions, and the disease has minimized
rice planting and restricted the sugar
crop, and much suffering is likely to
ensue. Rigid quarantine measures have
been adopted.
A new party, called Conservative, is
being organized. Colonel Blanco, a
Macabee chief, is the leader of the move
ment. The church element is identi-
fed with the Conservative party.

BOSS CROKER HAS HIS SAY
Concerning the Shakeup In New York
Police Department.

NEW YORK, Feb, 26.-Richard Croker,
according to a Vantage, England, dis
patch, has dictated and revised state.
ment, in which he says:
The operation of the police depart
ment from a nominal head is very likely
to prove a burdensome task. 1t is all
right in theory, but the one in command
must seek advice of subordinates.
Tine appointment of Murphy is a
good one; his connections have not been
distant from the police force.
"The appointment of Devery is a vim
dication Of his administration of his
office while chief. This is bound to dis
please some, and, while it is true that
Devery and Murphy both have rivals,
every officeseeker can't be accommo
dated. There is no reason for changing
Devery from a superior to an inferior
position, except to appease public
clamor" "
