TOO WELL FED, SAYS WOOD
The General Declares Filipino Sol
diers Dire C0ddled and Spoiled.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Mator General Wood.
commanding the Department of Mndanao.
Philippine Division, in his annual report TO the
war Department, says that the troops of the
department have been in the field great part
or the year quelling armed uprlsings and pre-
venting slave trade and kindred abuses He
says that in almost every instance actual fight
ing was initiated by the Moros Conditions
among the Moros throughout the department
are generally peaceful" says General Wood,
who adds:
the extension over them OF certain laws and
regulations have caused some excitement and
at uInes serious resistance. especially the law
PFoniDltlns slavery. In some sections active
hostility has been engendered by our presence
especially In the Lake Lanao region, where al
most constant murderous attacks on working
men and soldiers were the rule until the effects
OF the recent expeditions to the Taraca side Of
me lake. combined with expeditions to other
sections or Lanao, were felt by the Moros.
The power of the Moros of that section. Gem
eral Wood says. has been completely broken.
Continuing. the report says:
In Jolo affairs are quiet The prompt crushing
of Hassan's uprising has made a deep impress
sion on the people, and the abrogation of the
Bates agreement has done much to bring to an
end the unfortunate conditions which existed
under 1t.
Datto AIS party. the report adds is the only
band of Moros now openly hostile and it is
small and is being followed by troops and
scouts. General Wood says It is believed there
will not be any serious resistance of authority
by the Moros in the future but there will be
constant work of a police character, requiring
the use Of troops and constabulary.
The report shows that trials by general courts
martial have diminished for enlisted men, and
increased for officers
General Wood recommends encouragement Of
the islands local shipping interests and the use
of repeating shotgun loaded with buCkshot,
and As calibre revolver for OUTPOST duty He
says while the United States has increased the
expensiveness OF the native Philippine soldier,
compared with the native soldier under
Spanish rule, il has not increased his usefulness
for the purpose for which he is maintained
Speaking of the scouts General Wood says:
1T is a question IL we have not diminished
their capacit-- for the work they supposed
to be malnth. ned for by the amount of equip
ment which we have given them and the rations
furnished them" remarking that prior to en-
listment they lived principally rice and fish.
The report says the shoes furnished are insult
able for natives. and II adds:
The scouts ability to do excellent marching
barefoot should be improved, and his feet kept
in condition so to do. We have swathed and
logged our tropical native soldier, whose native
clothes weighed only few ounces and hung
loosely on him, with all the clothing require
ments of those for the temperate zone.

starvation. Sir Henry then began reply to
Mr. Chamberlain, saying
It is not those who are forever mounting the
word empire and using that word to cover their
own shady acts and their own policies who are
the best friends of the empire.
The speaker challenged Mr. Chamberlain's
right 70 speak for the colonies, and asserted that
Mr. Chamberlain spoke only for himself and
his tariff commission" but the self-governng
colonies had not authorized him 10 speak in
their name
