Philippine Report.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The annual
report OF the Philippine commission
for 19O4-5, together with the separate
reports to the commission Of the gov
ernor general Of the islands and o.
the heads OF the four executive de-
partments, has just been published Dy
the War Department.
Conditions 40 70 Peace and Oeder'
The governor general, In his re
port to the Philippine commission
states:
with the exception Of the pro
yinces OF Cavite, Batangas,, and Sa'
mar peace and order have generally
prevailed throughout the islands
Except in these cases the instances
OF lawlessness have been few and in
significant. Cattle stealing, which
was common two or three years
since, has almost entirely ceased, and
this, together with the sense OF %
curity which has come to the people
from q vigorous pursuit Of these evil
doors, has principally contributed "a
the increased cultivation mentioned
above. The provinces Of Cavite, Ba
tangas, and Samar have been much
afflicted during the year by organized
ladrone bands, which for : consider
able time past have terrorised and
plundered the people ct intervals. The
effect Of their depredations resulted
In the abandonment by many Of thu
inhabitants OF their richest and bes'
agricultural lands, and the MOVING
into the towns Of the farming class
J where to some extent At least police
protection was afforded them.

the discomfort Of the people was
largely II not wholly caused by the
fact that the local officials OF the
coast towns We're acting NJ the agents
OF the large export houses In Manila
for the purchase Of hemp. the princi'
pal product OF the island, and that In
many cases they had not dealt fairly
with the poor, ignorant people who
Inhabited the remote barrlos and the
hill country, as they took their hemp
at q merely nominal valuation and
very much below the market value
aud turned It In to the export houses
at the market price, and when tho
producer protested against this impo-
sition he was arrested on some
trumped.up charge and thus both de.

OF injustice and wrong ranking In
the breasts OF these Ignorant and
c~redulous people their feeling OF dis.
content was readily famed into q
fame by a few agitators. who told
the inhabitants Of the interior that
the government was planning to tax
them twenty-five pesos apiece rs .

tax. The leaders took on religious
rather than political names. and the
disturbance had no political signifl.

ing of mails the Rock Island will be

nal,
How much this boycott will mean
to the Rock Island In a monetary way
Is. OF course. a matter OF conjecture
but the clerks affirm that the sum To
tai which the road will lose as a result
OF It's refusal 10 take this safeguard
for lives will be much more than tho
cost Of turning the cars. The estima,
ed cost OF turning a a Is about 81
cents. and when the clerks appealed
to the Rock Island management they
were, told that II was an unnecessary
expense.

from the government for carrying

years ago, with q disastrous financial
result to the railroad.
For the Weighing OF mails the Unit

There Is a brakeman down in the
Santa Fe yards, a man who wears E
white collar and works on one Of
the limited trains, who Is out the price
Of a bronco and a fine saddle and
bride, says the Albuquerque Journal.
He has suffered this loss simply be
cause he failed to acquaint himself
with western horse etiquette.
Thursday the brakeman. clad in vel
low leather spats and cordurov
breaches, set out for q horse back
ride. He hired a bronco for the at
ternoon and betook himself up the
Rio Grande valley to the green alfal-
ia fields. After riding out a mile or
two he decided to get on and rest anc
hismounted. with the bride reins
thrown V e the saddle horn, his arm
through one Of them. What a his
surprist when the pony suddenly
threw down his head, threw up his
tail. planted his fore feet in the sand
for an instant and then departed TO-
ward the elevated timber on the
northern horizon. The brakeman
rubbed his eyes, and now he his run
bing his feet, for he had to walk back
to town. He has learned since that
4 western horse does not consider II
roper to stand still unless the brid-
il reins are allowed to trail on the
ground.
