GENERAL WEIGHTS REPORT.
Political UtteranceH Regarding Phil
ippinea Affecting Natives.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-President
Roosevelt is in receipt Of letter from
General Luke f. Wright, governor OF
the Philippines, in which the governo,
discusses frankly some of the condi
tons which he encounters in directing
the government of the Islands. General
Wright writes in part:
THE effect of the continued discus
sion rs to the capacity of the Filipino
for self government and his immediate,
or ultimate independence is having its
effect here and makes our task more
difficult than it otherwise would be
The less a man is equipped with intel
lgence and those qualities which make
for good citizenship the more easily
can he be persuaded that he is the
posseSsOr of all these qualities. This
people have their full share of ambi
ton and vanity, and they also have
their full share of reckless, half formed
characters who. are ready for intrigue
in any direction which promises them
profit or power It is this class which
has largely given force and direction
to the aglipayan movement and has
recruited its ranks from the ignorant
and dangerous elements.
I'm this general connection may say
to you as Il matter Of information that
the agitation in the United States fOt
Filipino Independence and the spoken
and written utterances of prominent
men there who are urging it are all
brought here and published in the ma
tive newspapers and are being made
the text for editorials insisting that the
Filipino people are now ready to be
come an independent nation. The eff.
feet of all this is distinctly injurious.
Its tendency is to restore the Influence
of the old insurrection leaders and TO
make them active in preaching the old
propaganda This in turn has the eff
feet of demoralzing and weakening
the more conservative and thoughtful
Filipinos, who fear that if they speak
out as they really think they would he
considered the enemies of their people
and lose their prestige with them.
Those of the more prominent and best
educated, and who naturally have their
ambitions. are inclined to join in the
general cry
