with a fanatlcal disregard for death
and are many years behind the people
of the northern Philippines in intelli-

lands be constituted separate govern
ment and the natives relegated to
reservations. He advocates the seq
regating the southern islands of Min
danao. Sulu archipelago. Palawan and
smaller adjacent islands into one divl-
sion, to be called the Mindanao planta-

are embraced In a report which he has
made to the war department.
Col. Hoyt urges government for
these islands similar to the one now
maintained in Moro and the occupation
and use of them by the United States
as coaling stations and naval bases.
BY placing the natives on reserva-
tions, he says, great part OF the is
