Rarrows director OF education of the
Philippines, was passenger on tho
steamer Siberia, arriving from the Orient
yesterday In speaking of the conditions os
the islands, DR.. Barrows said:
''The islands are IN good condition SEN
orally spcaking. The political situation
there at the present time is the best it has
ever been Tho provincial government is
In good hands There are about forty natiVe
governors for as many different provinces.
They are serious and intelligent men, ana
at the recent conference held in Manila
they showed themselves 10 understand the
situation in the islands and TO fully ap-
preciate the attitude OF the United States.
While all these governors but one are
natives, they all speak and understand
English
From an economic standpoint, however,
the islands are not in what would call
a good condition. This e. occasioned by the
fact that there is no market for their sugar
and tobacco These, Of course are their
principal staples. They, however, have a
good demand for cOpra and abaka, and
from these they gain their main revenue"
