PEACE IN BATANGAS
INHABITANTS HEARTILY AC-
CEPT AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY.
Report Of Gov. Luz After a Trip Of
Thirty Days Throughout
the Province.

The bureau OF insular affairs of the War
Department has made public the following
report of Simeon Luz governor OF Batan-
gas province. which was submitted to Gov.
Taft under date of September g. 1902:
Il have just returned from a thirty days
trip through every municipality. There is
absolute peace In the province, and almost
all the inhabitants heartily accept Ameri-
can sovereignty. and gladly welcome the
inauguration Of civil government. On every
hand l found the Inhabitants engaged in
peaceful pursuits, and making every effort
to re-establish their former prosperous con-
ditions.
"Batangas having been one Of the last Of
the provinces to continue the Instruction
naturally sun sreG most from the ravages
OF war. Prior to the Instruction against
the Spanish 1t was one of the wealthjesl
provinces in the archipelago; but now Its
condition Is deplorable with little hope II
a present relief from its critical condition
unless there can be had relief of some char
acter.
During the past three years about 50
per cent of the animals used for agricul-
tural purposes died from disease. and this
disease becoming almost endemic the ami
mails brought from other provinces at
great expense also died. 1t will take many
years to re-establish the former agricul-
tural &C ndition of this province unless
tnere Is material nelp on the part OF the
central government
Loans to Land Owners.
at is my opinion that II an agricultural
bank could be instituted at which the land
owner could borrow money at low interest
by mortgage on his land, the question
would soon be solved.
In the inland municipalities there Is q
scarcity Of rice and other food. Were it
not for the sale of rice at low cost by the
military authorities and the free distribu-
ton to the poor. there would be much suf-
fering in these towns if not actual starya-
ton.
The military deserve great credit for
their work in this province and despite the
dlfficulties of transportation government
rice is on sale in the remotest pueblos.
Schools have been established in most
of the municipalities and American teachers
are at work.
These schools are we'll attended and
rapid progress has been made. Large num-
bers of boys and girls are beginning to
speak and write the English language quite
huently- A provincial high school has been

and equipments. Two American teachers
are supplied by the educational department.
but the provincial board is very desirious
OF having a Filipino teacher employed ca

educational prospect is bright, indeed in
this province.
Il am happy to state that the complaints
against the soldiers are few in number and
OF small Importance, one case only coming
to my attention and that by native troops =

Sore Eyes In the Schools.

The news that there are 100000 scholars
in the public schools OF New York suffering
from trachoma. very infectious disease

in this city. This disease. while usually
not dangerous. Is often tedious In recovery
and entails suffering on the victim. II it Is
epidemic In New York II may we'll become
SO in this city. We have no doubt the
health authorities. the educational authori-
ties and the ward physicians are looking
after the matter, but It is one which, after
all. calls for the closest scrutiny by the
teachers. who have the best chance to in
vestigate the subject. Any appearance of
the disease ought to be promptly reported
SO that irme date action may be taken.

The action causes little surprise. for.
as Indicated ia The Star last Saturday,
the advIces received from Copenhagen in

upon the slenderest thread. and only in
case the treaty could be brought to vote

to be able to attend the sessions would 1t
be possible to succeed with the measure.
From the press account of the vote 1t APP
pears that one of these i'll members uneX-

The officials here are not precisely advised
as to the legislative possibilities in Den
mark, but even assuming that today's ac-

are disposed to view the situation philo-
