a hOtbed Of insurrection, rumors are
circulating that Speaker 0smena has
| been caught with Ricarte letters and
commissions on his person, and is be-
ing held a prisoner in Manila, and
| that the soldiers of the United States
army had a hard fight with the Ri
carte forces before the speaker was
captured.
RumOrs Excite Masses.
OF course these rumors are ridic-
ulous but they dangerously excite the
| Filipino masses. 1t is to be noted,
| too, that certain companies of the
Boy Scouts were found at the prin-
cipaf~rendezvOua of the Christmas eve
uprising, with bOlos concealed in their
clothing.
Here is the official account of the
| Christmas eve uprising, as given by
Chief Seaver of the Manila police de-
partment:
For some time past we had infOr-
! nation that there was TO be an upris-
| ing at midnight on Dec. 81, but on
Dec. % our information was that the
date had been changed to or II
| O'Clock on the night of the Gath.
"All police officers off duty were
| held in stations and extra officers
/ were sent out to report any unusual
> gatherings. Several servants left their
/ employers and warned them of the
intended uprising and begged them TO
! remain in their house over night. The
J servant of Col. Quincy, Philippine
| constabulary, stole the cOlonePs re-
volver, sabre, shoes, leather leggings.
and left note stating that he had
| been called TO fight for his country.
Early in the evening a man was
picked up on Bilbid NiejO with an or
/ der TO rendezvous at the botanical
! gardens Immediately. This man had
4 al n cd he
/ had been called out TO fight.
! Upon learning that the botanical
| gardens were to be the rendezvous, Sc
! cret service men were detailed to OBJ
serve the actions of any suspicious
| characters that might gather there.
AT D. m. they reported that there
/ were only few there, but within an
! hour the number had increased TO
some rs. a Filipino caretaker had
mixed with the crowd and heard the
plans and became very much fright
ened and notified me by telephone
| that they intended 10 have an upris-
Ing in the city Immediately.
4 considered it unwise to let a
/ more formidable number gather al
the place at one time, so I instructed
the chief of secret service and Capt
/ HOhmann TO commence making ar
! rests. but cautioned them to be care
/ ful and as far as possible 10 avoid any
/ violence. some 10 or 20 were arrest
ed. all Of whom offered some resist
ance. but were easily overpowered and
taken 10 the station.
Eight of these men were found to
be car ying concealed weapons. dag

! and a large katapunan flag. Some OF

Altogether it seems to me as
though there was not a bright spot
in this administration"
While the Filipino uprising of
Christmas eve partoOk much of the
n9ture OF farce and one revolutionary
party was captured by throwing a fish
net over their heads, letters Just re-
ceived in the United States show the
really alarming features of the situa-
ton in the island go much deeper.
Several military organizations are
spreading. OF these some revive the
names used in the revolution against
the Americans which took place I'M
der Aguinaldo in 1899.
Procession on Holiday.
On Rial day (Dec 30) there was a
procession from one end of Manila to
the other, which ended at the Luneta.
where some of the American officials
delivered orations. Near the head of
this parade we're carriages bearing the
veterans of the revolution" the men
who fought the Americans in 1899.
They wore replicas of the uniforms
used in that struggle.
While this was odd, the really sur
prising feature of the occasion was
the "GuiaS NaciOnale." who marched
behind the veterans. Antonio Torres,
head of this body, interprets their
name to mean in English Boy
Scouts But the Boy Scouts" num-
boring thousands and marching in
co. OF p1ras2r ,fo
tours, were we'll grown men. They
marched with precision that showed
much drilling. Their uniform con
sisted of invisible colored campaign
shirt, with leggings and trousers of
the same hue, topped with white field
helmets.
They had a signal corps. with field
telephone and telegraph kit strapped
10 their backs. 1t is the boy Scouts
TO whom Gov Gen. Harrison in a re-
cent cable to the war department al
ludes as "unarmed organizations
whose movements are well known TO
the government"
There were several other military
organizations in the Rial day parade.
Most harked back to Aguinaldo and
1899.
These are the outward signs palpa-
bic 10 everybody. In addition the ar
my and cOnstabulary officials know
that the fugitive Artemio Ricarte now
making his headquarters in Hong
Kong is enlisting men throughout the
islands in a skeleton army II is
largely a piece of graft. Ricarte
charges good prices for commissions
as "colonels' and generals but he
has dangerous possibilities. Another
man raising an army and disposing OF
commissions is DominadOr Gomez. the
notorious agitator.
Not in 10 years have the response
bility people OF the islands been so
alarmed. In Manila many families liv-
ing in the suburbs are leaving their
homes for places OF safety nearer the
center OF the city. through fear OF
being murdered in their beds In Ca
vite families Of naval and marine Of
ficials sought refuge n fortified places.

year could be done in week or two.
1t seems very strange to me that a
man of Gov. Harrison's progenitoTs
should have been willing to turn his
power and authority over to natives,
but such he has undoubtedly done.
He is a pleasant, genial man. who per-
sOnally has been very agreeable to
me, but who sought the advice of no
American in the Philippines and has
lavishly followed the suggestions Of
the natives who are particularly
strong.
Mr. Denison, the secretary Of the
interior is a peculiar man, whom YOU
may know, as l believe he was ap-
pointed to some position under the
attorney general under your admin
2 istratiOn. He has utterly alienated all
Americans and made himself the
laughing stock of the Filipinos by his
desire to see his name in print and bv
his ridiculous utterances from time TO
time.
The bureau of education. under
Mr. Crone. has gone along practically
as II was moving before.
Efficiency Destroyed.
The efficiency of the government,
however. has been destroyed in nearly
every bureau. The bureau of agricul-
ture-which we had just begun 10 feel
was finally in position TO accomplish
, a great deal-has been torn TO pieces.
The bureau Of science is a mere rem
nant of what il was. The last l knew
the legislature was about 10 pass a
bill to put the bureau of health under
a board OF five native physicians. The
bureau of public works has been thor
Oughly disorganized. and the respon-
sibilities of the bureau are divided
with provincial governments in such
a way that il is difficult TO tell where
responsibility rests
The bureau Of lands, as you know.
was placed under Gen. Tinio. whom
they had TO let go in a few months,
as evidence accumulated that his ad-
ministration was seeking TO register a
large part OF the public lands in his
province in the names OF the men,
bers OF mis- family. He was allowed TO
resign with the public statement that
there was no blot on his record, but at
the same time two American survey
Ors who knew something of the facts
were transferred TO JolO where they
would have no one TO talk TO. The
collections upon friar lands are more
thaIr< 1 .0OO, goo pesos behind.
Il might speak Of bureau after bu-
reau. but will only mention further
, the bureau OF prisons. The hne in
stitution that had been built up at
Iwahig has gone TO pieces. The first
act OF the governor general was to
pardon a large number of the colon
lists without the usual recommended
tiOns. but apparently because of sort
OF Christmas tree spirit. Ii made tre-

y. S. Getting Into Difficulty
With the Philippines

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. I'll
Reports of several attempts at re-
beiliOn in the Philippines have been
minimized. A letter from a pTOmi-
nent man in the islands received here
by William Howard Taft paints the
outlook in darkest cOlOrs. The armed
forces have indeed so far been able
10 put down the insurrectionary at
tempts, which have developed largely
from the ignorant lower classes. The
upper classes Of FilipinOs are restless,
however. even IL they are still out
wardly loyal TO the United States.
Mr.. Taft was first governor general
of the islands, several years before
he became president, and he has kept
deepest interest in the FilfpinOs. He
does not hesitate to state his opinion
that the present policy of putting ma
tives into offices for which they are
dOubtfully fitted is ruinous In the
letter a trusted friend in the islands
writes 70 the eX-president:
You can hardly have an idea,
without being present upon the
ground, Of the tremendous change
that has taken place in the Philip
pines in one year. Business is utter
ly stagnant. and has been since before
the war began No new investments
have come % the islands during this
administration and many OF those
unload; 1 may say. however, without
success
The American community have
been made TO feel that they are aliens
who do not in any degree enter into
the consideration Of the government
There are practically no relations ex-
listing between the new officials and
the American community.
They scarcely ever meet anywhere
and neither seems 20 care 20 meet the
other. There Is practically no govern
ment and what little there is in the
hands OF the leaders of the national
ist party notably Osmena and Palma.
The governor general seldom
comes down 10 his office. In fact
during a period OF five weeks I only
heard OF him being in his office two
or three times, although during all
that time the legislature was in ses-
sion.
TT IL understood by both Americans
and Filipinos that the appointm
are all in reality made by the above
named leaders. and the policies which
they desire enacted into law and in
yariably approved by the American
people.
Laws TO Strengthen Party.
Much Liquidation has been passed
FOR the apparent sole purpose OF
strengthening the party in power; the
most notable bill Cf AL was the one
which destroyed the system OF courts
which then existed. and created new
system. To absolutely did away with
the land court. which. as YOU know.
was very valuable and created a NUM-
Der OF new districts for the purpose
OF giving Osmena n number Of APP
cointmcnts.
''Such provinces as Fam bales were
made districts by themselves although
81 tho business in such province for
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-02-21

the residents, learning of the revolu-
tiOnaries' plans, went TO a point on the
river bank, where the inSurrectos
were about to land in a native boat.
Just as the boat touched bottom, the
CaIcoOcan vigilantes lowered a very
large and heavy fish net of the usual
type supported on four long bamboo
poles. 1t had a spread of about 20
feet. The net completely covered the
boat and nearly drowned the pa
triots," and they were thrown, wet
and indignant, into the CalcoOcan
lookup.
Precautions against further out
breaks are now being made through
out the islands. At the navy yard in
Cavite four machine guns have been
hastily mounted at commanding
points Arms have been issued TO
civilian employees. At Fort Mckinley,
six miles from Manila, the civilian
employees have been armed, also the
American secretary Of the post Y. NJ.
C. A. Cavalry patrols of six men each
are patrOlling the country. Many let
tiers have been received by officers
from natives and others giving warn
ing.
The telephone is being used TO
harass many families at all hours OF
the night by unknown persons, who
give so-called warnings your house
will be burned tonight" don't go out
after dark tonight etc.
It is generally considered among in
fuential people in Manila that the dis
turbances are due 10 the prevailing
idea that the government is weak, and
afraid to retain the Philippines be-
cause Of entanglements with japan,
the fancied protector of oriental peo-
pie; that washington seeks way 10
get rid Of the islands and turn them
over to the Filipinos; and that the
wholesale discharge of American en-
ployes was significant of the impend-
ing abandonment Of the country.
