THE PHILIPPINES
GOVERNOR TAFT
Describes Conditions in the Islands
to the Senate Insular Committee

Washington. Feb. 4.-Governor Taft
today continued his narrative before
the senate committee on the Philip
pines. concerning the Philippine archi-
pelago. In order to give the army its
just dues he took up and analysed its
work in the islands. He recalled that
as soon as General Otis had received
achievements sufficient for his pur-
poses the Filipino army was broken up
and scattered into guerrilla bands. on
this point Aguanildo and Luna differed.
Luna advocating Il continuance OF the
war on the old lines. SO sharp was the
difference, he said, that Aguinaldo had
directed and secured the assassination
CT Luna. thus leaving the way open for
carrying out his own plans. He would
not, he said, report the incident if it
had not been positively reported to him
by General Funston. Agunaldo said
that if he did not kill Luna, Luna would
kill him. Indeed. the custom was to
order a mans death in his absence.
and have him killed upon his return.
The presence of these guerilla bands
rendered it necessary to place gaITi-
sons everywhere. there being at one
time as many as 800 of them. This
rendered the work of the army very
ariuOuS and the activity. skill and
bravery OF the American troops was
such as to soon render the enemy tired
of the warfare.
Speaking Of the military policy in the
Philippines. Governor Taft said:
War has been all over these islands
ard that which remains is crime
against civilization. 1t is also a crime
against Filipino people to keep up this
state of war under the circumstances
They have worn out the right to any
treatment but that which IS severe and
within the laws of war"
majority of the people of the islands
desire peace and that the Instruction
lists We're by their acts preventing the
mass Of the people from settling down
and earning a quiet living Instead OF
being allowed to do this they were kept
under a system OF terrorism, which
should be stopped.
"A condition of activity continued
until the last-presidential election in
the United States said the governor.
The insurgents believed that if Bryan
should be elected there would be
change of policy and that the islands
would be surrendered, placing those
who We're in instruction in charge:
bat when Mr.. Mckinley was elected
there was a feeling that there would
be indefinite retention of the archipeI-
ago and the system. then in force be

SOUVENIR GOLD DOLLAR.
Being Specially Designed to Commen,
crate the St. Louis Exposition.

The gold dollar coin. which passed
out of circulation some years ago be-
cause the Government suspended the
coinage of this diminutive piece of
metal. is to be temporarily reintroduced
in 1904.
An empioye of the Bureau of Engray-
Ing and Printing is drawing a design. by
direction of Secretary Shaw, for a spe-
cial souvenir" one-dollar gold piece in
celebration of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition to be held at st. Louis. Two
ISSUES of the coin will be made. One
of them will bear on its face the por-
trait OF William Mckinley and the
other that of Thomas Jefferson. The
words Louisiana Purchase Exposition
with the dates 1903 and 1903 will appear
on the same side. On the reverse side
will be engraved an appropriate design.
The coin will probably be sold by the
exposition company at premium. a
similar issue of half-dollar coins was
made by the Government ten years ago
in favor OF the Chicago Worlds Fair,
but the premium selling scheme proved
q comparative failure.

Laying Marked by Exercises of
Most Interesting Nature.

The exercises attending the seven
teenth anniversary of the Church of Cur
Redeemer, Lutheran. on Eighth Street.

brought to a close Monday evening un-
der most auspicious circumstances. A
rumber OF Distinguished men and we'll
known local cleTgymen were present
and addressed the congregation and
their friends. The gathering filled the

was the number Of five minute talks by
the visiting clergymen and guests.

An excellent work, he said. had been
done by the congregation In the short
time since the church had been or
ganized. Beginning with almost nothing
save a boundless faith in the willing
ness of God to aid them in their work,
they had fought their way around or
over all manner of obstacles, and hal
built their church up TO hold a crafty
ing place in the community. From a
mere handful of members. the congre-
gaticn had grown steadily until it was
now a folrishing body. both in num-
fers and the quantity OF work accom-

they had every reason to be proud of
heir success IN promoting the Lords
kingdom.
