Denver University Fund.

Denver, Jan. 5.-Eastern dispatches
in regard to the great Methodist 500
10000 jubilee fund having led many
to suppose that the University of Den
yer is about to receive special dona-
tion from that fund, Bishop Warren
has published the following letter:
For the sake of perfect clarity OF
statement permit me word concern
ing the dispatch from Springfield,
Massachusetts, in reference to the
500, 100000 thank offering fund and its
relation to the University of Denver.
There Is no general fund to be dis
tributed, but each institution has gone
in to collect what it could for itself.
THE University of Denver owed, a
year ago, $3.50 900. To entirely relieve
it of that incubus Mrs. Warren offered
to give $25, 900 mot $75,000) and | of
fered to give $4,000 and raise $50 1000
outside of Colorado. This money has
been waiting a long time for all Colo

REPORT FROM
GOVERNOR TAFT

Washington. Jan. 5.-The annual re-
port of the Philippine commission and
separate report by Gov. W. II. Taft,
made public at the War Department to-
day, gives a review of the results dur
ing the year of the work of the commits
sion and contains recommendations for
legislative action by Congress deemed
essential to the welfare of the islands.
The Moros, he says, do not under
stand popular government and do not
desire it, preferring control by the dat
tos. Possibly far in the future he
says, control by the dattos may
cease. For the present. however, it is
necessary only to provide strong but
sympathetic government for these fol-
lowers of Mohammed."
Governor Taft tells Of the conditions
that have made the islands purchase
about SIS. .000, 900 of food and of the ef-
fects war has had upon agriculture, al
most the only source of wealth in the
islands. The greatest blow to agricul-
ture, he says, is the destruction OF
about ninety per cent of water buffalo.
on which the cultivation of rice is al
most wholly dependent. After speaking
of the ravages of Asiatic cholera, Gov
ernor Taft says:
THE bane of Philippine civilization
in the past was ladronsm and the pres
ent conditions are most favorable for
it's growth and maintenance. 1t is not
certain whether in the depressed state
of agriculture with the temptations to
ladronism, that the constabulary will
be able without the assistance of the
military to stamp 1t out
Since the civil government was com
pletely established in the Philippine
provinces throughout the archipelago
in July of last year, the governor says
an American soldier has not been called
on once to fire a gun. the country hav-'
ing been policed by the constabulary,
force of five or six thousand men.
ut may be- says Governor Taft,
that as the conditions grow worse. for
they are likely to do so before they
grow better, it will be necessary in a
province like Cavite, where ladronism
seems inbred in the people. to proclaim
martial law and even to call in the mil
itary finally to suppress it, but 1t is still
hoped that this may be avoided
The ladrones of lloilo are character
lied as an organized band Of cattle
thieves. They are being rapidly stamped
out. Governor Taft says that unless
water buffalo can be replaced or other
methods of agriculture substituted
which will prevent these animals being
indispensable hereafter, the future for
several years has a gloomy outlook.
The Grit-advocate., 1903-01-09
Catholics Must Use the Courts.

Manila, Jan. 5.-Solicitor General
Arenota. in written opinion, sustains
Governor Taft's contention that he is
not in a position to intervene regard
ing the possession Of Roman Catholic
property seized by independent Cath
olcs, and that the courts must settle
the question.
The adherents of the independent
Catholic church have seized several
churches and converts, and in some
instances native parish priests have
seeded, continuing In possession OF
the churches and have defed the new
pastors appointed by the Roman Cath
olic authorities. Archbishop Guidl,
papal delegate, has formally requested
Governor Taft to dispossess the indie
pendent Catholics and restore the Ro-
man Catholics. and to use the con-
stabulary in so doing. if necessary.
But the governor has declined to do
so. holding that such action is beyond
the powers of the executive.
