No Friction Between Civil and Military
Forces in Philippines.
Manila, December 29.-General Chanee.
when questioned today by the correspond
ent Of the Associated Press concerning the
alleged friction between the civil aud mill
tary authorities in the Philippine archipela
60 said that absolutely no such friction
existed and that perfect harmony prevailed
between the two authorities. General
thafiee said thar the only occasion when
there had been anything approaching trIC-
tIon was Ia the matter Of htheas corpus
proceedings In the case Of Oakley Brooks,
and that upon this occasion q solution Of
the difficulty satisfactory 20 both author
ties had been found. General Chauee said
tnat ne and the '0emoers OF the commits
sion had at times differed IN their views,
but that these differences were Of purely
personal opinion, He said that his rela-
tiuus with Governor Taft and Acting Gov
eruor Wright and the other commissioners
were both officially and socially extremely
pleasant. aud that he thought the pub
liShed statement of friction between the
civil and military authorities here must
have resulted from q misunderstanding OF
the facts Of the case.
When Acting Governor Wright was ques'
toned on this matter he said Whore
men Of sense are at the head of affairs,
there is not likely to be much cause for
alarm or friction"
Governor Wright has a great admiration
for General Chaffee, whom he considers to
he a man Of sound common sense, lie
said that although ne and General Chance
frequently differed radically upon various
subjects still the most amicahe relations
We're maintained under all circumstances;
The acting governor Of the Islands said
