TAFT and PARTY
HAVE RETURNED

San Francisco. Sept. as.-Secrstary
Of War Taft, who returned Wednesday
with the congressional party that tour
ed Japan and the Philippines, reviews
conditions in the islands. he says con-
corning his work and observations in
the Philippines:
The political situation in some re-
spects was not as good as it ought TO
be. A wave Of ladronism has swept
over the province Of Cavite and it has
necessary to suspend the writ Of habeas
corpus in the province Of Cavite and
Batangas, the neighboring province.
The same was true in SamaI, but the
use Of troops in Samar and the use OF
the scouts and constabulary in Cavite
has put an end to the disturbances;
however, there were two or three men
responsible for the keeping up Of la
dronism who had not been captured.
Complaints were made against tire con-
stabulary and, while many Of them
were unfounded, it was probably true
that = change in the constabulary
ought TO be effected, and it is now IN
der consideration by the government.
The distressing agricultural depres.
sion, due to the loss Of rs Ter cent Of
the agricultural cattle, drouth, Iocusts
and cholera, as well as other causes,
will probably not cease TO be felt for
several years. This. naturally. subjects
the government to criticism because
this alien government is much mere
likely to be criticized for existing con-
ditions, however free from blame in re-
spect to them. than a native govern
ment.
Some Of the younger men Of eduea-
ton hvae been advocating immediate
Independence. It therefore became
necessary 70 state, with considerable
emphasis, the policy Of the adminsitra-
ton on this subject, and to say that in
the opinion of the administration there
was no possible hope Of independence
short Of a generation, because the peo-
pie could not be fitted for self govern
ment in that time; indeed, it will prob
ably take 8 much longer period.
The party consisted, as is known,
Of democratic, as well as republican
senator's and congressman, and they in
their views represented all sides Of the
Philippine question, but with a self re-
strain and moderation which can not
be too highly commended, 10 was tacit-
ly agreed between the members OF the
congressional party on both sides, that
it would be most unwise for them 10
discuss before the Filipinos their diff
ference Of opinion. and therefore that
no statement should be made by the
representatives Of the administration as
to the policy Of the political adminstrA
ton Hence, the sight which some Of
the irreconcilable FilipinOs had hoped
for. towit: A constant combat be-
tween the republican and democratic
members, with the Filipino people as
an audience, was not presented, and
can not express too emphatically my
appreciation Of the patriotic stand
which our democratic brethren took
IN this matter In remitting discussion
Of differences Of opinion 10 the proper
representatives in congress.
