General Wood Reports Progress.

SCUCf VOOo hCPOft 10 GEO9iCoo.
Conditions In the department of Min
danao, the southern part of the Philip
pine Islands. have changed for the bet
ter in the past year, according to the
Wood. Slave catching and slave hold
ing among the Moros have practically
ceased, and obedience to the constitut-
ed authorities is becoming the rule, al
though Datto Ali, the outlaw, Is still at
large with a few followers. The gen.
eral says that number of officers and
men have been killed In suppressing
the fanatical uprisings among the
Moros, but that these disturbances are
growing less frequent, as the fanatics
have suffered great losses.
To Reoreanize Forest Service.
Secretary Wilson has decided to ask
congress to organize the forest service
ON a permanent basis, the various res
ervations having passed over to the
department of agriculture July 1. All
foresters are to wear a uniform of
drab or green khaki, flannel shirts and,
gray felt hats with a three inch brim.
Within a year the government forest
will amount to over 100,000,000 acres.
The secretary says that the govern
ment in managing this area has gone
into the lumber business" Hence the
necessity Of having the rangers and
supervisors bonded. But it is expected
that with scientific handling to prevent
wholesale cutting and to avoid fires
the new growth will more than replace
an annual cutting worth 100000 or
more
