MILITARY 81 cNIL AuTHoRITY IN PALIpPINgs.

MILITARY OR CIVIL AUTHORITY IN PHILIPPINES.
Within a few weeks after the establishment of civil
government at Manila the newly indicted administration
under Governor Taft has been compelled to appeal the
home government for support in controversy with the
military governor Of the Philippine archipelago who is
eommandenhef OF the federal forces assigned to duty
On the islands.
Since military authority and support relied upon by
the civil power the Philippines to sustain and enforce
its DEGREES and since this civil government owes its ex
tence to the creative fat Of the president as commander
ohie Of the military establishment the claim of superior
authority urged by General Chaee seems not unreasonable
the archipelago is to be considered as in state war
Luzon island is peaceful enough but Samar and Leyte
are s hotbeds OF rebellion and at Manila preends
that any considerable number the 600 federal troops
the islands could be dispensed with.
On the other hand. it maintained by Governor Taft
and those associated with the civil administration
OF public affairs the Philippine capital although the
presidents military power which established civil govern
ment at Manila is superior to that government the same
cannot be said Of the military power of General Chaee
his capacis local commandernchief That is to say
in country still subject martial control there may he
set up agencies Of government and legal administration
not amendabe military authority for existence security
and enforcement Of its DEGREES Thus the traditional and
instructive revolt Of the American popular mind and con
science against military domination breaks very
antpodcs American free institutions are estab-
Hshed and American methods Of administration are per
nitted TO assert themselves.
The question thus presented to the administration at
Washington is however tactical rather than constitutional
ii is NOT for the time being Of much Importance to de-
termine whether civil or martial regulations shall be
at Manila is to effect throughout the archi-
pelago the preliminary pacfcaton which everywhere pre-
cedes the advent Of civil ordinances and administrators Of
law When that shall have been accomplished there can
be further possibility Of wranglng and jangling at
Manila such sma beer matters the military depor-
tation disobedient civilian policeman.

that, but no explanation was given him.
These were her ma esty's orders, and he
could only comply. Sun his astonish-
ment grew when he saw during the three
rehearsals an empty court carriage drawn
