FILIPINO SECRET SOCIETIES.
GENERAL s. B. NJ. YOUNG TALKS OF CoNDI-
TIONs ON THE ISLANDS.

Chicago, April 7.-Major-General s. B. N. Young
recently commanding the northern part OF the
Island Of Iuzon. arrived in Chicago en- route from
Manila to Washington yesterday. The most for
midable problem confronting the United States
Government in the Philippines to-day is presented
by the great native secret societies. the hatl-
punan and the Sandathan." said General Young at
the Great Northern Hotel The first named Is
distinctly military in its character. and numbers
among its members the real leaders of the insur-
rection The second IS civil. and embraces every
native in the islands who IS in sympathy with the
rebel cause The second secures funds, provisions
and arms for the first and informs its members or
all movements OF the United States troops. The
influence OF these two organizations is widespread
and our means OF apprehending the prime movers
are limited.
The utmost secrecy governs the work OF all these
societies They crafty, skilful and. as We have
found TO our cost treacherous. Their hatred OF
our people is bitter as it is groundess, and in
my opinion the quickest and best, If not the only.
way to wean them from their prejudices is by
means of American colonization Of the islands"
Will Aguinaldo's capture have a good effect on
those still under arms" was asked.
Yes IT will probably lead many to submit TO
what would appear the inevitable: but just how
wide this effect will be am unable to say
General Tinio, the most formidable general In
the north is still holding out. but through hope
of reward he may follow Aguinaldos example. He
commands an uncertain number OF guerilas per-
haps three thousand. who are Independent in char
acter much as Mosby's were during the Civil
War and who fly at the first sign Of
serious danger If A mail or paymaster's squad
crosses their territory IL is wayaid and usually
some OF its members slain: but let any large
number of troops follow Immediately after and all
that can be seen are farmers toiling industrousy
I'm the fields We have tried 10 catch Tinio again
and again. but he is as slippery as an eel
Every town any size has been organized under
a new system of municipal government A presi-
dent or alcalde and council correspond 20 our
Navor Board Of Aldermen. All the ofhcers
are natives who have been encouraged to act for
Themselves under guidance Of military authori-
ties in the regulation of all town affairs. Though
We have had many cases OF treachery the results
on the whole are encouraging. II is my nehet,
however that the people are quite 1ncapape OF SELL
