GENERAL CHAFFEE REPORTS
MILITARY VIEW OF AFFAIRS.
In Several Places Guerrilla
Warfare COntinues-Charact of
Hard to OvercOme-They Pose as
Friends and Act as Enemies.

Manila.-General Chaffee, in the an
nual report which has just been issued,
sums up the situation from the mill
tary point of view by saying that the
provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in
southern Luzon, and the islands of
Samar, Mindoro and Cebu, constitute
the disturbed area in which bodies of
insurgents in force are to be found.
General Chaffee says the prolonga-
ton of guerilla warfare is due to the
physical character of the country and
to the nature of the warfare carried on
by the insurgents, who in the same
hour pose as friends and act as enc
mics; to the humanity displayed by
the American troops, of which the in
surgents take advantage, and to the
fear of assassination on the part OF
those natives who are friendly disposed
toward the Americans, should they give
| the latter information concerning the
| movements or whereabouts of the in.
surgents.
Municipal and provisional govern
ueHIS are DelnS organized. IneSe
governments have not yet received a
| practical trial. They constitute the
only certain and reliable methods OF
assuring the progress of the Filipinos
| towards self government.
According to the opinion of army Of.
ficers the disaster to Company c of the
Ninth Infantry, at Batangas, Samar,
when 4S men were killed, is attributed
10 the too great confidence OF these men
in the natives, which they assumed to
| be pacified.
In the same report Judge Advocate
| Groebeck says the suppression OF
brigandage will probably be one of the
most trying problems of the future.
If the military arm be left free to deal
with the marauders there is no doubt
of their final suppression. But the
presence of the civil government com.
| plicates the situation considerably.
With the civil and military authorities
working in harmony, says Judge Groe.
beck, no evil results should be antici.
pated.

New York, Jan. 20.-Rev. DR.
addressed to Mayor Low, which had
been adopted by the executive com
mittee of the Society for the Proven
ton of Crime, of which Dr. Parkhurs,
is president. The opening paragraph
read:
"While the Society for the Proven
ton of Crime considers itself distinct
ly an allay of the present municipal
government, there are certain princi
pies of action to which we have in
formally adhered and which we deem
it incumbent upon ourselves to pur
sue and to urge, even at the risk of ex
cepting the old policy Of those whom
we would like in all respects to second
and support"
"In all our past activity as a so
ciety," says the letter, 1--WE have pro
ceeded upon the distinct understand
ing that law exists for the purpose
of being obeyed."
The letter goes on to say that the
first two weeks of the present regime
have made it entirely indefinite as to
what civic righteousness in this city
is and what it is not. and to that ex
tent have operated to put the reform
administration in the same critical at
titude toward law as was that occu
pied by the administrations of 1892
1898, 1897 and 1901"
&ho 20 &Iot 10 ~, -
tered by the state to labor for the pre-
vention Of crime, the society is moi
quite certain any longer what is
crime" and says that "the atmosphere
is clouded with ambiguity emanatins
from administrative incertitude," anG
that "the situation is morally intol
erable."
The letter further says that there
is not very much to choose between
a Tammany administration that has
bad principles and reform admins
tration that has good principles, but
is afraid to use them"
The letter, which is signed by DR.
Parkhurst, concludes by demanding Of
Mayor Low, that you brace your ad
ministration in accord with YOU
OATH" and that he summon resources
at his command to work frankly ant
.esolutely in suppressing open OF
clandestine violations of recognized
statutes"
This action, which is entirely fol
| the prevention of crime, is construed
rs a breach between the reformer.
and the reform administration.
