eral Smith has been for the last II
years. he says they are delightful and
sincerely regrets leaving them. The
future of the islands is very bright.
While there are many highly cultured
persons in the islands he does not think
the mass of the population is yet ready
for independence. The people. however,
are rapidly learning the benefits of a
democratic form of government.
Since 1906 there has been no disturb
ance in the Philippines, said Smith. i
exempt from this the trouble we are
liable TO have for years to come with
the Moros. The Moros are Mohamme-
dams and are not inclined to look with
favor on Christians. They are begin
ming to understand that the troops are
not there TO interfere with their re-
hgion or their customs. except where
their customs are not in consonance
with our morals. We are trying to
break up the slavery existing among
them. It is a sort Of peonage. Jikire's
band is the only body of Moros of any
Importance causing trouble. They are
outlaws pfllaging the country. Robbery
is their chief motive. For the first time
in history Lake Lanao is now occupied
by troops, and the people are begin
ming to learn of the advantage Of hav-
ing them there.
DISCUSSES FRIAR LANDS
General Smith discussed at length the
friar lands situation and brought forth
the point that his attitude was the same
as that maintained by Taft in the ad-
justment of the serious problem.
In the first place" said Smith, great
differences had to be settled. There
were from 100000 to 150, 900 persons on
these lands. The title to the lands was
unquestionably vested in the friars.
After the insurrection against Spain
many tenants insisted that the title
rested in them. In order TO solve the
difficulty and to avoid interminable Iitf-
cation and disputes but above all
things. disturbances of a public order
which might have resulted from the en-
forcing of the legal rights of the re-
llglous orders, the government mr.
chased these lands. After surveying the
lands the government gave to ali the
occupants the option either TO continue
renting from the government or-to pur-
chase outright, paying in installments-
The majority of the occupants sig
nified their desire to purchase. This
was precisely what was desired bv

DENIES BREACH WITH TAFT

Governor General Smith was entirely
at loss to account for the suspicion
that relations between him and Presi-
dent Taft We're strained. He insisted
that quite the contrary was true.
There has been no friction with the
president" said Smith. MY relations
with the president have been and are
now most cordial. Former President
Roosevelt. President Taft and General
Luke Wright. while secretary of war.
have always given to the commission
and myself the greatest latitude in
Philippine matters. I have no reason
to complain in the slightest degree, and
would be very unreasonable, not to
say ungrateful, if l CID not appreciate
the confidence and trust which has
been imposed in me by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt and by President Taft.
II have asked to be relieved and Presi-
dent Taft has granted me leaye of alb
sence. After visiting with my son
here I shall proceed to Washington
and there consult with the president
regarding my request"
General and Mrs. Smith went to
Santa Clara yesterday afternoon to
visit their son, but will probably re-
turn to this city today. He Is to be
rendered an official reception Monday
night and a banquet the following
Monday night.

TARIFF PROTESTS
 WILL BE SIFTED

Washington, August 10.-In the opinion of treasury department officials the courts will be compelled to fix the status of foreign goods which arrived at the vari- ous ports of entry too late to be ad mitted on August B. the last day the Dingley tariff rates were effective. Pro- tests are being received in great num- bers against the early closing of the customs offices on that day.
 The usual hour of closing the customs offices is 4:3O p. m. There had been a rush of steamships to reach ports of en- try in order to unload consignments of imports before the close of the day. The ships were laden with goods on which duties had been raised and it meant big profits to the consignees if they could have their goods admitted at the old rates.
 It was supposed here that all of the collectors would close at 4:3O D. m., the usual time, but 1t has developed that some of the offices were kept open much longer some of them as late as midnight-on the theory that as the new law would not go into effect until after midnight of the day it was passed, offices should be kept open until that time to receive imports.
 By reason of the different constructions placed upon the law at the different ports of entry, 1t Is highly probable that the courts will have to determine what rates should be paid on goods that arrived on ships reaching port before the new law became operative but could not be unloaded because of the closing of the warehouses at 4:30 D. m.
 The new duties are being enforced but payments are made under protests.
