WOOD MAY TAKE
POST IN ISLANDS
RuMoR THAT HE WILL BE MADE
GOVERNOR GENERAL OF
THE PHILIPPINES.
NATIVES WANT HIM APPOINTED
Sending the Woods-Forbes Mission
Was a Diplomatic Step Toward the
Refusal to Grant the Filipinos
Immediate independence.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washngton.-There has been CON
siderable interest in Washington in
the whisper in administration circles
that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, now in
the Philippines on inquiry bent, may
once more be asked TO take the gov
ernor generalship Of the islands, and
that possibly he may accept it.
The country has understood that
General Wood already has accepted
the place Of provost of the University
of Pennsylvania. 1t is possible that
he has not committed himself wholly
In this matter, and if he should change
his mind, or, rather if he feels that
he can change it, his friends say that
/ the action will be due to things that
/ he feels he has learned in the Philip
pines and to pressure which has been
/ brought to bear upon him to under
take the Philippines duty.
The conception Of the WoOd-Forbes
mission to the Philippines was curious
There is not the slightest doubt that
the administration, or rather the War
department, which is the same thing
! In this case, knew everything that was
/ going on in the Philippines, and really
needed no report even from such a
/ deep student Of affairs as the general
/ The word is that the administration
wanted something which it could put
forward definitely as the basis Of flu
ture dealings with the Filipinos, and
that rather than use the documents
and information already in the hands
of the War department, 1t concluded
that what 1t intended to do in the IS
lands would be better received when
based on a new report.
Bureau Undoubtedly Knew.
There is Il bureau of insular affairs
fnctioning in Washington It is a
stabilized bureau and for years it has
been doing executive work. Maj. Gen.
/ Clarence r. Edwards was for years
its chief and his first assistant was
Frank Mcintyre, now major general
insular bureau. While the bureau
could not play politics, nor even in a
