II Exists.

Washington, Feb. 19.-In answer to
a communication from William G..
Dodge inquiring into the reported ex-
istence of slavery in the Jolo islands,

leging that Americans were the slave
dealers, Secretary Taft has written
the following letter:
"War Department, Feb. 1, 1904
My Dear Sir: The statement with re-
spect to slavery in the Philippines is
an outrageous lie. There are no Am
orleans engaged in the slave trade at
all. There has been in the past some
kidnapping by the Moros .of the hill
tribes. but this has been suppressed
and there is little Of 1t now. Gen.
Wood, with the approval Of the Phil
ippine commission. is using every en-
deavor to suppress slavery throughout
the Moro provinces to which 1t is al
most wholly confined"
