NOT A HEALTH RESORT.
Gov. Taft Tells OF Climatic Conditions In
the PhIIippines-Why Government
Is Expensive.

Washington, Feb. 21-GOv. Taft
in his testimony before the senate
committee said that much of the sick
ness of our troops In the Philippines
is due to exposure, and he Incl
dentaily made an appeal for liberal
appropriations for the construction of
barracks and for the protection OF
officers and men. The witness thought
the high death rate of troops in the
Philippines due to the guerrilla war
fare, saying that it was impossible
to get soldiers to observe the laws
of hygiene. He knew, he said, of Eu-
ropeans who had spent 80 or 80 years
in the islands and who are in good
health. He thought, however, that
they generally left the islands for
several months every two or three
years. As a rule continued residence
had the effect OF causing a gradual
deterioration of health.
Gov. Taft made reply to a number
of questions concerning the expenses
OF conducting the government of the
islands. He said that those expenses
are much higher than under Spanish
rule and that the increase would be
greater this year than it had been
last year. For instance, while the an
nuaI expense of conducting the gov
eminent of Manila under Spanish rule
was from 100000 to 1000, 900, Mexi-
can, the present expense is about ST.
100000 in gold. The increase in the
total was, he said, due to the increase
in salaries and to the improvement of
the government offered. ''Under
Spanish rule" he said, Salaries were
very low-so low that they were the
plainest intimation that they (the
Spanish of1cers) expected their saba
rfes to be pieced out by illegal col
lections and squeezes and that they
were so pieced is indisputable.'
