These letters were issued for the in

the Office had no thought Of bringing
about burial at Arlington or other ma

The estimates for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1900, for the maintenance Of
the police department, as submitted by

COASTABULARY At PEACE
WITH FILIPINO SCOUTS
So Says Gen. II. L. Allen in
His Annual Report.
A BIG TELEGRAPH SYSTEM
Lines Have Been Put Up Throughout
Islands-Fun Force of American
Troops Should Be Maintained.
A BIG TELEGRAPH SYSTEM

The Bureau Of Iusular Affairs of the
War De srtment has received a copy OF
the anuIal report Of Brigadier General
II. T. Allen. L. s. A, Chief OF the Phil
ippine Constabulary, TO the Philippine
Commission. The report gives an off,
cial statement of condition in the archl-
pelago in the past year.
BY an act OF Congress and by various
acts of the Philippine Commission the
Philippine scouts and the cOnstabularyI,
while not merged into one organization,
mutually support and aid each other and
operate under the direction of the civil
government. Twenty-uine companies OF
scouts have been turned over to the
civil governor for duty under the chief
of the constabulary.
Telegraph Lines Erected.
During the military occupation of the
islands practically every pueblo was gar
risoned. resulting in an extensive system
OF telegraph and telephone lines and
cables. The lines reach to every town of
Importance, comprising some 5000 miles
of wire and handling over zoe kilograms
daily.
As peace was established and the
army withdrew, many of the branch
telegraph and telephone lines were
abandoned.
Schools have been opened for the pur-
pose OF training native operators. and
eighteen natives have already graduated
and are at work. This number will be
greatly increased within the next few
months as the schools are but fairly
started
The district chiefs in setting forth the
special events OF the year. point out that
the disturbances which are the after
math of long period of warfare. have
been aggravated by plaques affecting
man g, beast.
II is d curious fact that among the
various religious sects found in the
archipelago there is an invariable effort
and desire on their part to become pos
sessed OF arms TO re-enforce the propa-
sanoa OF their creeds.
Genera. Allen says: II hardly deem il
necessary 10 speak of the expediency.
ecOr On1y and necessity Of maintaining
native troors- In former days there were
able officers who opposed or doubted
the policy OF arming the Fihpinos. but
the proven loyalty 10 the authorities,
furnishing food, shelter and clothing,
the paueity OF desertions, the economy
OF ma hltenanCe, the direct education OF
the zen and its general influence upon
the people. and the special fitne5s Of the
Filipino for the work required CI soldiers
IN the Philippines have answered their
objections"
Without taking into consideration the
strategic Importance OF the Philippines
as military supply depot, where troops
and war material may be kept for ORR
entail emergencies, General Allen thinks
that for some time TO come the Amerg-
can troops should not be further re-
duced. At present there are, in round
