the tract has been acquired by the state
OF Pennsylvania, and the well pre-

Is desirable that the whole tract Be

Il Is a curious fact that the move
ment TO preserve historic grounds OF
this kind at The national expense has
come only since the civil war. The
idea seems to have started from the
great cemeteries where so many Of the
soldiers Of the civil war lie buried

GENERAL SMITH TALKS
OF FlLiPiNOS.
Home on a FurIouoh, He Gives an op.
timistic View Of the Situation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. i.-General
James F. Smith, justice of the SUI
preme court OF Manila, h Is arrived in
Washington. He is on a brief
furlough and expects soon 10 return
to the Philippines to resume his ludic
ial duties.
General Smith takes an optimistic
view of the situation in our trans-Pa-
cific possessions. The war, he de.
clares. is practically over, in spite of
the recent outbreaks whicn have oc-
CURED in Samar and some of the
provinces. Regarding tho trouble in
Samar. he said:
People generally fail to recognize
that on account of its minor import
ance as commercial island Samar
had. until recently, received very lit
tie attention from our military au-
thorties. 1t is natural. therefore,
that the insurrection there should
have continued more active than else
where in the Philippines. where the
natives have b en- brought INTO IN.
tact with our forces. and not surpris-
ing that an attack should have been
made upon our troops when favor
able opportunity offered.
ITO one who is familiar with the
situation. it is obvious that satisfac
tory progress is being made in pacify-
ing the islands. It must be remem-
bered that the average Filipino in
the interior knows no more now Of
the good intentions Of the American
ttay a ho L.,
of the Filipino six years ago. The
Filipino must gain a comprehensive
idea of our good intentions and hon
est purpose to benefit him-which all
will take time-and then the whole
difficulty. so far as srmed resistance
is concerned, will rapidly disappear.
Business in the Philippines. Gene,-
al Smith says, is so>1. The opin-
ioE that the Filipino ib not industri-
ols he declares is wrong. The FIJI.
ipino is not only a producer. he SAYS.
but consumer as we'll. On account
of the war wages being higher than
ever before. the tflipino's wants
have increased accordingly. 81
though the cultivation of the soil In
large tracts has been neglected dur
ing the last few years. each Filipino
in the country raises little hemp
or little tobacco, or something e'ic
and from the aggregate Of these
small lots we get vast shipments Of
various commodities. The\ customs
receipts show that the importatioDs
to the islands have been greater siuce
the American occupation than ever
before. Greater prosperity, too, has
been enjoyed by the mercantile COM
munity during American occupation
than ever before.
