Losses and improvements.

In speaking Of public instruction he re-
ports that education has not developed as
II should for the following reasonsi
First, the scarcity OF Filipino teachers,
who should be paid by the municipalities;
second, the lack OF law compelling the
attendance OF children when their parents
through apathy or ancient custom do not
wish to send their children to school; third,
the continuous calamities that nave be-
fallen this province during the year 1902"
He urges that Filipino teachers be as
signed to assist the Americans in their
task Of teaching English.
The hysenic condition OF the province"
adds the report, lis highly satisfactory
and this is due doubtless to the persever-
ance and intelligent effort OF the president
Of the provincial board of health. seconded
by the municipalities, who enforce the
sanitary laws OF their respective jurisdic-
lions. In the cholera epidemic just past
the provincial president was found lending
his personal aid in the most infected
pueblos of the province. There occurred
only 1,620 deaths from cholera In the whole
province, which contains approximately

Laws.

WASHINGTON, May 16-The Bureau Of
Insular Affairs of the Wal department has
received the report of Senior Pablo Tecson,
governor OF the province OF Bulacana, +. L.,
for the year 1902. The report says:
The political situation of the province
could not be more satisfactory. Since 1
took possession of the government there
has not been noted the least perturbation
of public order, but, ON the other hand, 1
have observed that American sovereignty
is now so firmly established that 1t IS re.
1ected In the confidence n faith which
the Inhabitants feel when they see the
efforts the government makes In carrying
out their exceedingly favorable promise.
"A an eloquent proof OF this we cite the
ease with which the taxes were collected,
especially the iand tax, which is so new
In this country, and to the payment Of
which the province responded with such
patriotism, without offering the least OPP
position, Notwithstanding the agricultural
crisis through which It has passed and Is
now passing. Small bands OF Ladrones,
the remains of the past revolution, still
exist In the province, engaged in stealing
animals. making highway assaults upon
isolated roads and settlements, but having,
however, no political significance. These
bands are fast disappearing, owing TO the
constant persecution of the c-onstabulary.
local police and the provincial volunteers. -
The governor mentions how agriculture
has suffered from the loss OF animals and
the plague of locusts. He also gives quite
a list of bridges, both of wood and stone.

have been improved.
