tellicence and general civilization.
Colonel Ralph HOyt, Twenty-ifth Unit
ed States infantry. governor of the
Moro province, recommends that these
Islands be constituted separate gov.
ernment and the natives relegated 10
reservations.
He advocates the segregating of the
southern islands OF Minda1ao. Sulu
archipelago. Palawan and smaller ad-
jacent islands into one division TO be
called the NIindanao plantations
Colonel Hoyt's recommendations
are embraced in a report which he
has made to the war department.
Colonel Hoyt urges a government
for these islands similar to the one
now maintained In Moro and the oc-
cupatlon and use of them by the Unit
ed States as coalins stations and ma
val bases.
BY placing the natives on reserva-
tons, he says, a great part Of the is
lands might be set aside for cultIva-
tlon and made exceedingly produc
tive under proper administration.
