Taft says Little Headway
Has Been lIade in EmancinatiOn

Washington, March 5-Governor Taft
was questioned further today concerning
slavery in the Philippines. by members
of the house insular commission. He
said the number of slaves who had been
manumitted was comparatively small.
The commission had undertaken no leg
islation as to slavery and the action
taken by the military had been, first, to
release Christian slaves, and, second, to
prevent slave raiding parties from cap
turing slaves. Besides this the constant
moral influence was being exerted toward
the eradication of slavery. He was asked
if the dato could enforce the death pen
atty against slaves, and Governor Taft
answered that the datos authority ex-
tended to the death penalty after a trial.
He spoke of the comparatively low state
of the Moros, who comprise the slave
holding classes, and said troops always
would be needed in Moro localities; not
necessarily a military government, but
civil government with military force be-
hind 1t. The Moros. were, he said, war
like. but not formidable, and he gave
an amusing account of war between a
sultan and dato, lasting two months,
with the loss of two killed and four
wounded. The governor said polygamy
was confined to the datos and head men.
