-Cebu Believed 70 - laei4 -.

Manila, Dec. 3O.-Gsn. CT ~,
when questioned yesterday W N
correspondent Of the Associated pfGt4
concerning the alleged friction BE-
tween the civil and military authorl
ties in the Philippines, said that ab
solutely no such friction existed and
that perfect harmony prevailed be-
tween the two authorities. He said
that he and the members of the com.
mission had at times differed in their
views, but that these differences were
of purely personal opinion. He said
that his relations with Gov. Taft and
Acting Gov. Wright and the other
commissioners were both officially
and socially extremely pleasant and
that he thought that the published
statement Of friction between the
civil and military authorities here
must have resulted from misunder.
standing Of the facts Of the case.
Gov Wright has a great admiration
for Gen. Chaffee, whom he considers
to be man OF sound common sense.
He said that, although he and Gen.
Chaffee frequently differed radically
upon various subjects, still the most
amicable relations were maintained
under all the circumstances. The act
ing governor OF the islands said that
under the existing circumstances in
the provinces there was occasionally
bound to be some friction as a result
OF misunderstanding Of authority, re-
curing an appeal to Manila, but that
such matters had invariably been sat.
isfactorily arranged.
Referring to the work accomplished
by the United States Philippine com.
mission during the last year, Gov.
Wright said: "Out of darkness has
come light and immense and won
derous strides have taken place. A
year ago everything outside of Ma.
Mia was practically chaos; now, out,
side of the few provinces where the
insurrection stiIl exists, everything
is IL a most iionrishing condition.
In the 900 miles from Manila north

been fired for many months. while
houses have been built and are stjllt

planted"
Gov Wright sald he was satisfied
that the majority of the Filipinos
recognize and appreciate what has
been done and that thes leaders were
doing all in their power TO bring tbe
remaining insurgents TO n pcnccful
view Of the situation.
