The Philippine Inquiry.

| Washington April 1l.-When Gen

lore the senate committee on the Phil

number OF questions concerning the
efficiency Of PHILIPPINE labor. The gen
eral SAID there We're about 400 natives
employed IN certain corral In Manila
ana that FOR this work they received
No IN gold per month, while Americans
received $40 The FlIipinos were, he
SAID, quite efficient In this work and
Whlle THIS pay was entirely out Of pro-
portion TO that received by the Ameri

mad been In the habit OF receiving that
they were spurred to extra efforts. He
also expressed the opinion that the ma
tiyes would be found equal to the task
Of cultivatlng the agricultural lands
Of the islands If sufficiently paid for
their services. Still il was possible
that this labor might not be equal 70
the demands of American and Europ-
can exploiters. In this connection he
repeated his conviction that II is not
desirable TO unduly exploit the islands
and II this were 10 be done, excessive
wages would be necessary to secure re-
suits.

successful" he said, wherever It Is
necessary. They are Of artistic tenn

artists. They are fun Of romance and
poetry and win generally succeed as
actors and musicians; indeed. there is
scarcely a Filipino that is not a mu-

of the power Of the Filipinos as a peO-
pie to reach high standard Of develop

Replying TO further questions from

situation at Manila when he arrived
there In July 1898. He said that at
