THE RETURN OF GOV. TAFT.
The Civil Governor of the Philip pines Arrives at San Francisco
 on Leave of Absence.
kRDU0US DUTIES HAVE TOLD UPON HIM.
The Governor Talks Hopefully of the Future of the Islands When the Bands of Robbers Who Infest the Back Districts shall Have Been >uppressed.

San Francisco. Jan. 22.-W. II. Taft. civil governor of the Philippines. who arrived here on the transport Grant. is quite ill. the Philippine climate and the arduous duties he has performed having told on his constitution. He feels that, after few days of rest in this city. he will be strong enough to undergo the trip east and make his report to the secretary of war. Gov. Taft says that he hopes to leave for the east Thursday. He says the war Is confined to he two provinces Batangas and Samar-and the opera tions in Batangas occasionally range into the neighboring provinces of Tayabas and Laguna.
 The governor says that Gen Wheaton is doing splendid work in the islands. and that that officer as. sured him. shortly before he sailed, that the natives of the province of Batangas and it's vicinity would all be pacifed before the close of next March. The province of Cebu and Bohol, until recently disturbed by in surgent operations, have settled down. the fighting men having all surrendered. The Filipinos are very anxious to secure legislature. as a step toward the permanent establish ment of a civil government. The present civil government has been working with great zeal. and has far exceeded expectations. The governor says the chief difficulty at present is the lack of police protection in the provinces. Small bands of robbers still infest the bSck districts. They terrorize the natives. and until the strong arm of the law is able to sup press them absolute peace in the isl ands will not be obtained.
 The native Filipino police have proved a success. They were ap- pointed by the civil government and, officered by Americans, they do good service.
 Gov. Taft says that he is much inn proved by the sea voyage. and wifi spend several days al his old home in Cincinnati before going to Washing ton.
 Gov. Taft is accompanied by his wife During his absence his place is being filled by Luke E. Wright, one of the other members.
