On The Years Work in the Philip

On The Years Work in the Philip
pines.
Washington, Dec. 6-The war de-
partment today made public the first
annual report of Maj. Gen. Adna r.
Chsfee, military governor Of the
Philippines islands. Gen. Chafee
sums up the situation in the Philip
pines from a military point OF view
by stating that the province Of Ba-
tangss and Laguna, il Luzon, and
the Islands of Samar, Mindoro, Cebu
and Bohol constitute the area not
disturbed by any embodied force of
insurgents. He says that to the
physical character of the country, to
, the nature of the warfare of the
rebels, who are amigo and fee in the
self same hour, to the humanity of
the troops, which is taken advantage
of by the rebels and the inhabitants
who sympathize with then, and to
the fear of assassination on the part
of friendly disposed if they give in
formation to the American forces, is
due the prolongation of the guerrilla
warfare.
Commenting upon the plan Of
gradually replacing military with
civil administration Gen. Chaffee
says. s'The withdrawal of interfer
ference with civil affairs does not
contemplate withdrawal of the troops
from their stations to any consider
able ey'ent; on the contrary, this
should not be done hastily, and when
undertaken should be gradual and
more in the nature OF concentration
than reduction of force or abandon
ment of any considerable area of
territoy." He therefore recommends
that there be no further material re-
duction of troops before January,
1908. The civil governments which
are being organized-provincial and
municipal-Gsn. Chafee says, are
both new and untried and there is
but one certain reliable method of
ascertaining the progress of the Fill
pinos in self government, namely,
observation by the army.
General Chafee devotes a good
!. part of his report to the terrible
dis aster which befell Company G,
Ninth infantry, at Balapgiga, Samar,
which, he says, was 'slargely due to
overconfdence in assumed paciied
conditions, and in people who, to a
great extent as yet, are strangers to,
and unappreciative of our humane
and personal liberty, beliefs and
actions" American soldiers, he says,
fail to discriminate between real and
assumed friendship on the part of
the Filipinos.
A table is submitted showing that
since June 10 last, the date of the
last table submitted by Gen. Mac
Arthur, up to September Is, 36l
Filipino officers and 1888 men sur
rendered to the American military,
and officers and 494 men were cap
tured.
Great attention is paid in appended
reports to the subject of the prevail
ence of venereal diseases in the army
of the Philippines and the vigorous
measures taken to segregate dissolute
women and by rigid physical inspec-
tion r. guard against spread of
such diseases.

POLLY MARTINS
CHRISTMAS EVE
A Story of Country Life at YuIetide by
Eliza Archard Conner.

copyright, 1901. by Eliza Arehard Conner
She was only sixteen, pretty Polly
Martin, with round soft cheeks the color
Of apple blossom buds and eyes as blue as
the skies Of her own native Canada. She
had six brothers and sisters, all like her
self born in the beautiful country.
Her father was tenant farmer in
new settlement in western Canada. Pret-
~ Polly MIXED the cows. fed the pigs
and chickens and helped her mother with
the children. When she could get en-
ployment away from home. she went out
to service. Being brought up with so
many children had made her very useful
about a house; patient too, and she was
naturally sweet tempered, so people were
glad 10 have her with them. And then
they liked 90 see her in their houses be-
cause she was 50 pretty.
The Martins nearest neighbor was
three miles away. This was not because
ncighhor- were 50 few. hut because Mr..
Martins employer. Thomas Valentine,
owned all the land between his own
house and the log cottage whore the Mar
tins lived. But Polly was not lonely. She
never thought Of being so. On the contra
~. she was very happy. Polly loved ma
ture. If she raised her eyes n moment
from her work and looked toward the
west, she saw the grand green forest
flashing and ringing with the bright
winged. sweet voiced birds that civiliza-
ton had not yet killed out.
If she glanced toward the northern ho-
rizon, there was the undimmed sky, ra-
diant blue. with a marvellous CLEAN OF

white coats Of the sheep shining out

At Christmas time, the year Polly was

Mr. Valentine lived in a handsome house

Polly was wanted 10 keep the Nalenune
house while the family should be away at
tie ball. They went early. for there was
O ten mile sleigh ride between them and
the town where the ball was. The great
sleigh, with its big, handsome horses

drawn up before the carriage door OF the

Next Polly fed the pigs and locked the

large double plate glass windows 10 keep
the cold out and with great furnace in
the cellar from which hot air pipes car
ried warmth into all the rooms. Many a
kings palace was less comfortable than
this house. Polly looked to see that doors
and windows were fastened; then she sat
down in the warm dining room to read
and knit and think by turns.
Polly was not lonely or afraid. The
country neighborhood was considered
quite SAFE and, besides, pioneer girls are
not the kind to scream at mouse. She
remained up till IL because she did not

FOR A TEN YEARS. STAY.
Jim Small, Celebrated Negro Burglar,
Is Sent to Penitentiary.


Is Sent to Penitentiary.
Jim Small, one of the most celebrated
negro burglars that Savannah has ever
produced, and one of the most skillful
and acute, was sentenced to spend the
next ten years of his life in the peni-
Tertiary by Judge Falligant, in the
Superior Court yesterday. He plead
guilty to the burglary of BlumenthaPs
pawnshop.
Following the commission of this
crime, in January last, Smalls career
was an eventful one. He was arrested
a few days afterwards by Detective
Murphy, but while he was under con-
finement at the station house, man
aged to burn the woodwork of the
transom of the large upstairs cell in
which he was confined, to make his
way downstairs and, while the turn
keys back was turned, to slip through
the door and into the streets. He
made his way to Charleston, where he
was captured, and whence he was sub
sequently returned to Savannah.
Small had expected a lighter SEN
tence, and was both surprised and ag-
grieved when Judge Falligant sem
fenced him to the term of ten years
He explained afterwards that he had
been given a reputation, which he does
not deserve. The truth of the matter
is that Small has contributed as much
or more than any other person to the
reputation of which he complains, for
he is as proud of his criminal exploits
as a peacock of it's tail.
John Carter and William Brown, both
plead guilty to indictments, charging
burglary, and each of them was given
a term of five years in the penitentiary.
