SITUATION :. REVIEWED
General Chaffee Briefly Gives His
Ideas of Things in the Phil
ippine Islands.
CANNOT TRUST ALLEGED PACIFIOOs
Army Judge Advocates Opinion-Ta-
gal Amazon Captured-Eleven
of Our Soldiers Missing,

Manila, Jan. 20.-Genera1 Chaffee, in
the annual report which has just been
issued. sums up the situation from the
military 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 prolongatiOn
Of guerrilla 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
United States 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 United States should they
give the latter information concerning
the movements or whereabouts of the
insurgents.
Mixed Government Not an Advantage.
Municipal and provincial govern
cial governments are being organized.
These governments have not yet re-
ceived a practical trial. They cOnsti-
tute the only certain and reliable meth
Cd of ascertaining the progress of the
Filipinos toward self-government. In
the same report Judge Advocate GrOes-
beck says the suppression of brigand-
age 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 pres
ence of the civil government cOmpli-
Gates the situation considerably.
Eleven of Our Soldiers Missing.
A report has been received here that
a dug-Out canoe, in which eleven men
of company I. of the Second infantry,
were travelling, is missing and is prob
ably lost. 1t is believed the men eth
er persisted or were captured. General
Wade has cabled from Cebu that 800
insurgents surrendered on the island
of BOhol last Friday. The authorities
here say thai this statement is aston
iShing if accurate, as the secret service
had failed to learn of the existence of
any such body of insurgents on Bohol.
Capture of Filipino Amazon.
An important capture was made in
Laguna province. Luzon, when eight
men of the Eighth infantry captured
a woman insurgent named Aqueda
Kahabagan. She recently commanded
an insurgent force of 800 men, 300 OF
whom carried rifles. General J. Frank
lin Bell is still active in Batangas
province, Luzon. A recent engagement
in this province in which the insur-
gents were defeated with severe loss
resulted in the wounding of one Unit
ed States officer and the killing of one
private

Exercised Over Pearson's Views.

indianapolis, Jan. 21.-Methodist cir
cles here are greatly agitated over the
utterances of Professor Charles w.
Pearson, of Northwestern University.
Presiding Elder Rawles, Of this dis
trict, said: He has been guilty of an
unmerited, unjustified and ridiculous
assault on the Methodist church. When
lie assaults the scriptural stories of the
works Of the Lord Jesus he
would evince a large measure Of hon
esty by withdrawing not only from
his position as a teacher in a Metho-
dist school, but from the church whose
great history of good works he has
traduced."

Mrs. Calvin's Address.

The little speech delivered by Mrs.
Theo. Calvin at the installation cere-
mony of the w. R. G. recently was
accorded such favorable comment
from her friends and associates that
we reproduce it below. 1t is printed
without the lady's knowledge or con-
sent and at the request of members of
the corps:
COMRADES AND LADIES: One year
ago we took the obligation to look af-
ter the interests of our order, to care
fully watch over them; and to do the
best in our power. This we promised
as members of our order and on our
honor as women.
The year has passed into eternity
has added another ring to that strange,
deathless tree called time, and we can
look back today and examine the fab
rio we have woven and the work we
have performed. Some changes have
taken place but the work has moved
steadily and firmly along, growing bet
ter with every difficulty overcome,
every obstacle surmounted: for the
roots of the life of our order lie too
deep for the sickle to injure even when
| the leaves and blossoms are cut away.
| And today we bring you the finished
fabric for your inspection not asking
mercy for what has not been accom-
plished but earnestly in fraternity,
charity and loyalty.
In honor of those who participated
in the greatest war ever waged in free
dom's cause, the Relief Corps is here
to give comfort and happiness to the
living heroes. And we will come with
reverent tread to do homage to your
martyrs and scatter flowers on their
last resting places.
From every mother and daughter
within the ranks of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps we will bring to their
honored gatherings tho olive branch
of peace and good will, and to our last
breath we shall bless your memory
and study your prosperity.
And when taps shall have sounded
for the last one of you, our children's
children will take your names upon
their lips as refrain and carry in
their hearts the lessons of patriotism
and LOYALTY, which posterity will con-
tinue to foster so long as the Stars
and Stripes float over a free and Unit
ed people.
Our memory of you will never fade
away and we will forever cherish it.
Your names will stand in imperish-
able grandeur as long as the human
heart can cherish deeds Of valOur and
sentiments of unalloyed patriotism.

"Laugh, and the world laughs
with you; weep and you weep alone. -"
This trueism has been the watchword
of many successful dram Artist, and
the author of Isl Perkins" had it in
view when he presented the laugh
provoking comedy to the American
stage. The play has taken it's place
among the few which time, in It's
flight, has endeared to the playgoing
public. Like "Snore Acres and

tells tale of rural life. And the
simple joys and trials Of ISL" the
central figure in the central figure in
the play, are at times so true to ma
ture that spontaneous applause is

Sam Burton, like Denham Thompson,
has so long played the Yankee char
acter that it's second nature. The
exchanges have nothing but praise
for the play and the presenting COM
pany. On Tuesday night at the City
Opera house this celebrated drama,
with all it's special scenery and para
phernalia, will be presented, with
Mr.. Sam Burton and Miss Lille Cole

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-The Record-Her-
aid says: The Illinois Central railroad
will within the course of short while
have all the principal stations along
it's line completely equipped with tel
ephone wires for the use of officials
and employees in transmitting orders
and messages Of the company. Those
who have experimental with the sys-

The installation of the system will
cost about 800 per mile, or approx
