Secretary of War Issues Report On
characterization Friar Land
. Charges Not Substantiated,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The repor'
OF the secretary OF War upon ms 10
cent visit 10 the Philippine Is1ahu7
has Just oeen issued by the war "e'
partment During the secretAf\
stay ! nthc islands. from July 4 ~
Sept. :. he inspected practically az
the public Institutions and army pos's
and neld many public hearings. Ih1
adnlinistratiJn of the various depai
ments were found To be IN general
~ satisfactory condition.
The secretary of war speaks very
sympathetically OF the aspirations Oh
the PHILIPPINE people tor independents
and says that the public expression
is very general IN favor Of same but
that mony of the conservative ana
most substantial men would view such
a result with CONSERVATION.
Referring To The fitness OF the FIJI
Pine people for self 5iNeThment he
says:
There are very many highly edu-
Gated Filipinos men oi talent
ability, and hrilliancy but the pei
centage in comparison with those who
are wholly unframed in an under stand
ing of, and the exercise OF political
rights under a republican form OF gov
ernment rs so small, ana under the
best and most rapid development pos
sibue under existing conditions Will
for long period continue SO small
that IL is a delusion. II the present
nolicy of control OF the islands by the
American people shall continue. TO
encourage the Filipino people in the
hope that the administration OF the
islands will DE turned over TO them
within the time OF the present gener'
alton"
Peace, law, and order prevail
throughout the islands. Ladrones or
Icbber bands are almost ii not en-
tirely suppressed and the head-hunt-
ing tribes of Bontoc, VINO a year ago
were engaged III taking heads, are
now devoting themselves 10 agricul-
ture and other peaceful pursuits and
enjoying the comforts of life. All the
wild tribes are beginning TO see and
appreciate what is being done for
them.
The legislative assembly. though
controlled by the Nacionaiista party,
which was organized in opposition tc
those who favored American control.
has enacted laws for the promotion OF
development and progress along lines
advocated by the encouragement,
showing that responsibility steadies
action. They have been liberal In their
support OF education and internal inn
provement.
A very deep and widespread inter
est Is being manifested for education
On the part of young and old and the
burden of taxation for education is
cheerfully borne. Good progress is be-
ing made in learning the English
language.
The secretary dwells at some length
ipor his Investigations relative TO the
recent sale OF friar lands, which was
given much notoriety in the last ses-
sion OF Congress and the public press.
He says he found no basis for the
extreme statements then made.
