THE FILIpINOS SIZED UP.
David Barrows Testiiies Before the Senate
Committee Lower Glasses Fol.
low Their Leaders.

Washington, March 19.-David D.
Barrows, chief of the bureau of non
Christian tribes of the Philippine is
lands, yesterday gave testimony be-
fore the senate committee on Phil
ippines. He separated the Filipinos
into two elements, the cultivated
class and the subordinate class, al
though the dominant cultured class
is small-only about dozen families
in every town of population OF TO-
900. The remainder have no educa-
ton and no wealth and are con-
trolled economically and socially by
the upper class. For two years, he
said, this latter class and the Amer
leans labored under great misap-
prehension of each other, but there
was an understanding now. He
agreed with Gov. Taft that small
garrisons quartered in the midst of
the Filipinos hindered the life OF the
town and acted as an irritant to the
natives. The upper class, he said,
possessed an influence over the low
or class that the United States au-
thorities have been slow to appreci-
ate.
tmonr the lower class, Mr.. Bar
rows said, there is strong desire
for social betterment, as evidenced
by the sending of the children to
school. In response to question by
Mr.. Hale he described the masses
as being uncultured and uneducated,
closely following the directions and
feelings of their leaders, whether in
hostility to the authorities of the
United States or in the exhibition OF
q friendly spirit.
MIR. Barrows said that the declara-
ton BY congress that a liberal policy
is not to be followed would disap-
point the influential Filipinos and
undoubtedly ALLEVIATE them. Mr.. Bar
rows gave an extended account OF
the efforts making to educate the
'ilpinoS. He did not think it posi-
DE or desirable TO eradicate the old
| jluirptS.
