GOVERNOR TAFT REPORTS
Not Single Call For Free Distribution
Of Rice People Planted Large
Crops Scarcity Of Cattle-1o,ooo
Carabo TO Be Imported.

Washington. June 9.-The val de-
partment has just made public a re.
port received from Governor Taft, re.
plying to statements made by Lieut..
Gen. Miles, after his visit to the is.
lands last year. The report is dated al
Benguest April is. and says in part:
That there is a shortage in the is.
lands of the usual food supply, is un.
doubtedly true, but | have been sur
prised to find hui far how little real
famine or hunger there has been. !
have o received a single call from
a single provincial governor for rice
for free distribution in the entire arch
ipelago. In the province of Batangas
Captain Boughton, in managing the so
called war famine fund, the history Of
which has been already officially re-
ported to you, has made a very small
gratuitous distribution Of rice, not ex-
ceeding, | should think, in quantity
more than $4,000 worth. The action Of
the commission In directing a procla-
nation by the civil governor. calling
upon the people everywhere to plant
corn, camotes or sweet potatoes, rice
and other quickly-growing food prod
ucts, had a very wide influence in stir.
ring up the people to provide against
the coming OF famine, and on the
whole | have been greatly surprised TO
ind the suffering so much less than
we expected it TO be. II may be that
in May, June and July we shall have
calls for aid, but | think that we shall
be able promptly to respond TO them,
especially now that SO, 900, 900 have
been appropriated for the purpose.
The Cattle Situation.
The most serious feature Of the sit.
uation is the loss Of the cattle from
rhinderpest. The fields OF the islands
are infected with rhinderpest, so that
cattle from the other islands brought
here are almost sure to have the dis.
ease. II is necessary, therefore, that
all cattle brought here shall be i'm.
munized by having a serum injected
into their veins which will render
them immune for three or four months
and at the same time by being innocu-
with the rhinderpest virus, which
renders them immune for at least five
years, and probably longer.
1--WE have made a contract for the
delivery Of 10000 carabao in the is.
lands. These are to be brought from
the Yangtse valley IN China.
1T is exceedingly important hat we
shall not pauperize the people Of these
by unnecessary gratituous dis.
.tribution OF rice. In anticipation Of a
corner in rice, we made a purchase of
rice involving the expenditure OF about
$500, 900 gold. We succeeded in break
