about 10000 out OF a total population
Of $500 had thus located They had
been advised that II was necessary for
them to pursue this course In order TO
secure protection. In the cases where
the natives Of "a village were found
harooring insurrectos the village was
generally burned. General Hughes
said that as N rule the policy In
given section Is toward sevcrer treat
ment, Ms the insurrection grows In

the policy To be pursued was generally
determined by the officers In command.

the Viscayans generally far less civil
lized than he had expected. lie had
supposed that they woult follow the
rules OF civilized warfare, but had
been disappointed, and this wus one
reason for the change OF policy toward
