NILES RECENT TRIP.
More Of the Generals Observations
In the Philippines Made Public.
PROBLEM OF REDUCING THE MOROS,
The General Says II Does Not Appear Diff
lacult One Climate Hard ON Our Troops
The DiscOntlnuance of Liquor In
the Cantsen Beneficial.


Washington, April 2s.-The ex-
tended report Of Lieut.. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles concerning his observations
in the Philippines was made public
yesterday by the war department,
It 10 dated February 10, 1908, and
covers all features of his trip
through the islands, together with
his recommendations. OF the Moross
Gen. Miles says:
"The problem Of reducing or con-
trolling these people in case of con-
tinued hostilities does not appear to
be difficult one. They are very
poorly armed and have no means of
withstanding our mountain artillery
and field mortars. Their efforts pos
sess but slight resisting power and
easily can be destroyed by modern
artillery"
OF the road to Lake Lanao he says:
AT the time of my visit there were
600 of our men at work on this road.
The heat was intense, and there
were at the time 10 men sick and
some 200 men on sick report. Unless
there be some great military neces-
sity-and I know Of none-this work
should not be performed by troops"
The more important observations
and recommendations Of Gen. Miles
are as follows:
1.-THE general condition Of the
troops In the archipelago was credit
able to themselves and to the coun-
try. The officers and soldiers made
good appearance.
"The effect Of the climate is q
most serious detriment to the service.
The men go there in perfect health
and in the prime of manhood, but as
body are seriously affected in the
course Of two or three years service.
Very few escape. The majority are
debilitated.
"As the military stations, with but
few exceptions, are very remote and
the troops are required to be In COM
munities that are neither beneficial
nor congenial to them, the service is
depressing and, to some extent, has
demoralizing effect. There are
scarcely any amusements or recrea-
tions for the soldiers and life under
such circumstances becomes very
monotonous. During my visits to
the garrisons 1t so happened that l
did not see q single soldier under the
Influence Of liquor. As the result Of
nv observations, 1t is my Judgment
that the discontinuance Of the liquor
feature Of the canteen has been
beneficial to The army. Now that the
temptation has been removed from
the immediate presence OF the young
men of the army, they are less likely
70 indulge in the use Of liquor.
Gen. Miles renews q Recommended
ton. made prior TO his visit 70 the
Philippines. that at least one Htrate-
eio position be fortified beyond the
possibility Of capture by any foreign
seets. OF the condition generally, he
says;
