China
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-Major
General Corbin, recently in command
of the army in the Philippines. accom-
panied by his wife and personal staff,
arrived today from Manila.
In an interview General Corbin said
that conditions in the Philippines were
never so good as at present. All de-
partments of the government were now
working in harmony. The visit of Sec
retary Taft had done great good and
his stand against immediate independ-
ence met with much approval The
Filipinos were satisfied with their pres
ent condition. The talk of possible
transfer of the islands to Japan was
without foundation.
The general said that undue import
ance had been given to the sending
of the reinforcements to Manila. 1t
was necessary, however, to keep troops
in readiness for service. He declared
that the reported troubles in China had
been greatly magnified, and no cause
for serious trouble with that country
could be seen.
