GOVERNOR TAFT EXPLAINS
Declares He Did Not Deceive the Senate
Committee in SuppTessing Report
From Major Gardener and Secretary
Caedo-Produced Reports Called For.

The report of Florencio r. Caedo, the
financial secretary OF Batangas Province,
TO Civil Governor Taft, made public yes
terday by the Senate Philippines Commit t
tee. has attracted almost as much atten-
tion as that of Major Gardener of Taya-
bas Province.
1t tells of deplorable conditions of des-
titution among the inhabitants and pre-
diets that the horrors of famine are ntar
at hand.
This report was one of those not given
to the Philippines Committee by Cover
nor Taft.
Secretary Caedo's Report.
1t is as follows:
Il have the homer to report to your
eSceliency that the conditions of the prov
ince during the present year cannot be
more deplorable.
''The mortality. caused no longer by
the war, but by disease. such as malaria
and dysentery, has reduced to a little
over 100000 the more than 3O0. 600 inhabi-
tants which in former years the province
had.
'Ail the highways and wagon roads and
bride paths are almost impossible. even
for cavalry, in the wet season, except in
few places where they have been re-
paired by the military.
Working animals have been decimated
by the epizootic trinderpest), agriculture,
the PROVINCES only source of wealth, is
entirely prostrated, and as a climax to
all these events, the war, with all its
fatal results.
Fueblos Pacifed.
"Out of the twenty-five pueblos of this
province relative peace is enjoyed in
only the pueblos Of Calaca, Balayan,
Hang. Calatagan, and Nasugbu.
THE committees of the Federal party
having been created in the pueblos of the
province since February last, civil rule
having been inaugurated and established
since the May following. and the pueblos
having been organized into municipalities
pursuant to the existing municipal code,
with the exception of Cuenta, Taysan, and
Rosario. all of us who were lovers of
peace and order hoped that those who
were still in arms would surrender and
recognize American sovereignty, in order
TO enjoy the benefits of that rule with US.

Annexation Means Free Sugar.
He said in conclusion:
''If this legislation fails and no conces-
sion be made to Cuba, If the policy of
President Mckinley and President Roose-
yeit be defeated by this House. it may re
suit in free sugar from Cuba After the
establishment of the Republic of Cuba,
treaty cap be negotiated with that
country by the President. That treaty
can provide for the annexation of the
island of Cuba as ;he recent treaty did
for the annexation Of the Danish West
Indies and that treaty can be submitted
to the Senate and ratified. The moment
that the ratitications are exchanged, un-
der the decision Of The Supreme Court
in the Porto Rican case, We would have
free trade with Cuba on all products, and
this House could not prevent il.
so this House is not supreme and i;
does not control or dominate this stu
ation. II would be the part OF wisdom
for us TO make a reasonable concession
tnat will not iniure any industry in the
degree The question will not be
settled If Congress at this session declines
to take action. Conditions in Cuba are
such that this question will not be settled
until action is taken that will afford the
desired relief, and will enable Cuba to
recuperate. The failure of concessions at
this time may mean tie growth of an
nexation sentiment in Cuba and in the |
near future the beet sugar industry OF
this country may have to face the possible |
OF Cuba, which would ulti-
mately mean .frce sugar from Cuba as 1t
has from Porto Rico.

places in the silk regions.
Most of these failures are owned and
operated by Chinese, although FIVE at
Shanghai have foreign managers. II was
through the introduction Of Mr.. Riva, a
French proprietor of one of the Shanghai
establishments, that was able to go
through the Chinese filature at Soochow.
This filature has brick building covering
about Ave acres, 1t employees 800 hands,
and its capital must be at least a half mill
lion dollars. The Chinese heads of the es-
Enlistment who took me through the fla
ture were tall portly, fine looking men,
dressed in silk brocades which would have
made fine gowns for any White House re-
ception. They spoke English well, and
we're thoroughly posted on the silk markets
of the world. We first entered the base
ment. where a number of English steam
engines were supplying the power, and then
mounted to the second floor and were taken
through a number Of large rooms filled
with little white balls covered with soft,
silky fuzz. Each ball was about as big as
the largest peanut. These were the CO.
coons as they had come in from the eoun-
try. They had been baked in ovens and
the worms inside them were cooked hard.
picked up a handful and shook them.
| They felt like peanuts, and the little baked
worms ratified like kernels inside the shells.
CHINESE FACTORY GIRLS.
Leaving this department we went into
the factory proper, a great room which
was humming like a cotton mill. 1t was
500 feet long and IS feet wide, and was
| filed with machinery. In II 700 women
and girls were Keeling silk. They were
working at the machines, which ran in
rows from one end Of the room TO the
other. Some of the women were sitting
at pans OF steaming hot water in which
the silk eocoons bobbed about as though
they we're alive, while thin threads of fns
white silk were pulled from them by the
moving reels above. As / looked into the
pans could see the coeoons dancing abou

their threads together into one before it
was wound. Different numbers Of strands
are used to make the different kinds of
silk thread. Five strands make the finest
thread The kind Of thread that we i'm
port for the United States usually con-
tans six, eight or ten strands.
Before the coeoons are unwound the
threads are loosened by soaking the CO.
eoons in hot water. This is done in bowls
in front Of the Keeling machines. the CO.
coons being stirred about with little
brushes OF bamboo by Chinese girls of
from TO - years OF age. When the
threads become loosened they can easily
be picked up.
WORKING At THREE CENTS A DAY.
Some of these little children work at 3
cents day, and some of the women only
get as much as cents of our money. The
best of the little ones receive IL cents, and
the highest paid woman of the whole fac
tory was getting 20 cents day. This was
for thirteen hours and for seven days OF
the week.
