4 A Bill, providing for the further
extension of civil government
in the Philippines, report has just
reached Secretary Root from Mr.. Luke
Wright Acting Governor of the Philip
piAe Islands. and II Democrat stating
that the iusurrcction in the islands is
practically ut an end and that there is
now 40 obstacle to the extension of civil
government to all of the archipelago,
aside from the Moro country. Governor
Wight advises that in some provinces
the army he retained in control until the
crops mature IN August. for the reason
that, because of the perfect organization
of the military branch assistance may
be more readily extended to the natives
until such time as they receive the re-
suits Of their agricultural labors. Secre-
t0ry Root has issued Il general order by
which the permanent military establish
10 $4,000 men, Il reduction of 10000. In
