STILL NEEDS rRs ARMY.
Gen. Macarthur Gives IN Interesting Re-
port ON the Conditions in the Philip
pines Up TO June 30, 1901.

Washington, Aug. 0.-The annual re-
port of Maj. Gen. Macarthur, dated
July 4, 1901, the day that he relin-
quished command of the division or
the Philippines, has been received at
the war department. The period COW
cred by the report is from October ].
1900, when the last report from Gen.
Macarthur was dated. He reviews the
policy of the Filipinos, who wer: hos
tile to the Americans, saying that their
action since the practical collapse OF
the instruction has been perplexing
problem. With the disarmament OF
the insurgcnt field armies the Fill
pinos organized desperate resistance
by banding the people together IN sup
port of the guerrillas. Gen. MacAr-
thur reviews the manner in which
operations were carried on against
these guerrillas and says he hopes the
policy adopted will in time conciliate
the natives and make them friendly
to the United States. Gen. Macarthur
says the proclamation issued December
20, firmly declaring the intention OF
the United States to hold the islands
and to have the laws obeyed, had
good effect and the secret resistance
was much abated.
A considerable portion Of the report
is devoted to the field operations OF
the army, showing that on October !.
1900, it occupied 413 stations, which
was of necessity increased to go sta
tons, every command being in contact
with some hostile force. Gen. Mac
Arthur gives the following statistics
from May s. 1900, to June 80, 1907 (dur-
ing which time there were 1,20G con-
facts between American troops and
insurgents, which show the casualties
on both sides: Americans-killed. PAS;
wounded, 400; captured, lis; missing,
20. Insurgents-killed, 2,S45; wound
ed, 1,193; captured, 6,572; surrendered,
23,OO5. During the same period, the
following material was captured or
surrendered from the insurgents:
Rifles. 1858; rifle ammunition. 296,-
365 rounds: revolvers, $50; bolos. g.
sic; cannon, 122; cannon ammunition,
10,270 rounds.
Gen. Macarthur gives brief capit-
ulation of the conditions in different
provinces ard says that at present the
molding force in the islands must be
a well-organized army and navy.
Anything" he says, sin the immedi-
ate future calculated to impede the
activity or n reduction of the efficiency
of these instruments will not only be
a menace to the present, but put in
jeopardy the entire future of Ameri-
can possibilities in the archipelago"
Gen. Macarthur says the capture OF
Aguinaldo may be regarded as the
most momentous single event of the
year.
