The War Department made public yes
terday report by Col. Henry T. Allen.
chief of the Philippine constabulary, in
which he declares that in his opinion
within one year from December 15 the
date of the report, only i5,G00 troops VIII
be needed in the Philippines. This in
addition to the constabulary and native
troops. He adds:
I make this statement after due con-
sideration of the conditions existing here
and with fairly good knowledge OF the
character of the Inhabitants of these isl
ands l also recognize the race differ
ences that must always arise between
Caucasians and Malays. and the want OF
confidence that is so generally manifest
ed at this time by many Americans to-
ward Filipinos.
General Condition Favorable.
The general condition OF the islands
ms regards nacific action has never been 50
favorable as now, when the crumbling
from the top is duly manifest. The new
association of peace was organized anu
its work is being carried on by the eN-
IRENE group Of politicians. Journalists
and intransigentes who have until now
been responsible for the continuation OF
the insurrection.
IN my opinion the campaign now in
progress in Batangas and Lagunl will be
the coup de grace of the insurrection,
and will prevent our trouble in the Philip
pines from becoming chronic. From re
ports received from various parts OF the
stands. there can be no question hut
that the better class of people are eN-
tremely tired of the struggle and ardent
y desire peace.
Value of Sedition LAW

The Academy-"sis Hopkins"

There are few stars or attractions that
ton than Rose Melville and sis Hop
kins.' both of whom were seen last night
at the Academy Of Music. The play has
been seen here several times before. but
from the large audience which witnessed
it last night one might have been led to
believe that il was somewhat in the ma
ture of premiere.
The story has nothing in it to recon-
mend it to the sensational-lOving auditor,
for there Is an absolute lack of melo-
dramatics in isis Hopkins" 1t is the
plain love story of a plain little girl
whose philosophy asserts itself in many
unconventional but Enthusiastically logical
speeches. Though these furnish much
merriment to the audience, they are the
heart teachings of an innocent but withal
wide-awake little Posey County girl. Sis
Is. indeed. a character, with her gihgham
apron her braided hair tied with little
bows that seem to point to all four cor
ners OF the earth, and all the other od-
dities of dress which have become famil-
lar to the public in pictures. if not
through Miss Melville's own characteriza-
tion.
Rose Melville originated the role of isis
Hopkins" some years ago in musical
comedy, and from that rather small be-
ginning the part was written into play.
The actress has been emiTently success
full. and it looks as il the piece could
serve her for many seasons yet. She has
a great deal of quaint humOr, and pre-
sents one of the most interesting and en-
tertaining studies to be found on the stage
today. The supporting company is gen.
orally above the average.

It Is pointed out that there are more than 100000 square miles here of the worlds choicest game fields whl;h would make the largest and the grsndest nstlonll pirk that Is now avail able any place in the world.
 The story Is not fully credited here at Seattle, but W, E Clrk, the Post-Iu ellI- genc,r correspondent, mikes such a sho T- Ing that 1t Is admitted that some sort Of Q reserve will probably be cre'ted, but it Is not believed lt win be of such vast area.
