OPPOSED TO REDUCTION
GEN. WOOD WOULD MAINTAIN
FORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

An argument against the reduction in the
number of troops in the Philippines Is
made by General Wood, commanding that
division In his annual report. The total
garrison on June 80 last numbered 20043
men. 1--WE are far from home" says Cen
eral Wood land in case of foreign dis
turbance, even with all our troops con-
centrated at Manila, the force available

The policy has been adopted OF concen-
trating troops in the immediate vicinity Of
the large Moro centers and holding small
outposts with scouts. rendering IT possible
to move comparatively large commands
into hostile country without uncovering
number of posts, and at the same time
providing the troops with good barracks
and quarters. The Department of the
Visayas has been In good order except in
the Island Of Samar, large portion Of
which has been kept in a condition of disor-
der as the result OF the operations of
large humber of ignorant fanatics of low
type known as Pulajanes. whose principal
object seemed to have been to destroy the
coast towns and people in the most ruth
less and brutal manner" General Wood
says the movement originated in the unfair
treatment of the people of the interior by
traders and people Of the coast towns. A
widespread condition of lawlessness and
resistance to the government exists in that
island
