TO RUN DOWN THE PuLAJANEs
Gen. Lee Says Campaign Will Be Wig
orous AID Persistent.

Washington, Aug. IA vigor-
GUS campaign to quell the Pulajanes,
in the island of Visayas, has been de-
cided on by the military authorities in
the Philippines. These natives recent
ly have given the authorities much
trouble, and they have made numerous
attacks ON peaceful inhabitants.
The war department has received a
copy of an order issued by Gen. Jesse
M. Lee, commanding the department
of Visayas, directing the disaffected
island be divided into two districts
and reassigning the troops, the aim be-
ing to distribute them in such man
ner as will make 1t possible to run
down the outlaws without the neces-
sity of undertaking long and arduous
marches.
The order says:
"Officers in charge of districts will
have general supervision of their dis
tricts for the preservation of order
and the protection of peaceful inhabi-
tants and will cooperate with the Off
GERS in other districts as much as pos
sible.
'An columns and escorts will be Of
sufficient strength to obviate the posi-
bility Of any reverse.
while the campaign against the
outlaws will be conducted with the ut
most yigor and persistency, 1t will be
at the same time marked with that
spirit of humanity which characteTizes
our forces"
