Washington, Sept. 20. On August
17 Secretary of War Poot cabled tho
Philippine commission for a report of
its operations to date. The commis
sion replied In full, the most Impor
tant extracts from the report follow
ing: Manila, Aug. 21, 1000. Replying to dis
patch, commission reports: It has for 24
months mado diligent Inquiries Into con
ditions prevailing. Mass of peoplo has
aptltudo for education, hut is Ignorant,
superstitious and credulous tn a remark
ablo degree. Hostility against Ameri
cans was originally aroused by absurd
falsehoods of unscrupulous leaders. Dis
tribution of troops steadily Improved
temper of people. This Improvement,
furthered by abuses of Insurgents, nfflrms
that largo number of people long for
pence, and aro willing to nccept govern
ment under United States. Insurgents
not surrendering after defeat havo di
vided Into small guerrilla bands undor
general olIlcerH or become lndroncn. Near
ly all prominent generals and politicians
of Insurgents except Agulnnldo have slnco
been captured or have surrendered and
Imvo taken oath of allegiance. Policy of
leniency culminating In amnesty had
marked effect to Induco surrenders until
defining of political Issues In United
States reported here la full gave hope to
Insurgent officers still In arms, and changed
policy and stnyod surrenders to await
result of elections. Disturbances In parts
of island kept up nnd avowed by Insur
gent proclamation and orders to Influonco
election, do not show unfriendly attitude
of majority of pooplo of provinces where
they occur, but only activity of small
Insurgent bodies In mountain fastnesses
whence they Issuo for usually harmless
night attacks, or murderous ambush of
small American squads, or to collect con
tributions or recruit from people terror
ized by cutting out tongues, cutting off
limbs, buryjng alive, murder and plunder.
Difficulty of detention enables Insur
gents to maintain survclllnnco over poo
plo In some garrisoned towns. Uncertain
ty ns to future policy of the United States
nnd dcfcnsolessness of peoplo without
arms largely prevent them aiding Amer
icans ln suppressing outrages. Despite
tbeso difficulties, maintenance of status
quo makes for more peaceful conditions.
All northern Luzon except ln NcuvaecIJa
nnd Dulacan aro substantially free from
Insurgents. Hallway and telegraph lines
from Manila to Dagupan, 122 miles, havo
not been molested for flvo months. In
excepted provinces and parts of provinces
of southern Luzon, lnsurrccto bands
dodge from ono mountain refugq to an
other and glvo occasional trouble. Tag
nlogs alone active ln leading guerrilla
wnrfare.
Four years of war and lawlessness ln
parts of Islnnds havo created unsettled
conditions and unguarded American or
foreigner traveling ordinary trails far
from garrisons and attracting cupidity,
run risk of violence even ln pacified prov
inces. Native constabulary and mllltln
which should bo organized nt once will
end this nnd tho terrorism to which de
fenseless peoplo aro subjected. Natives
desire to enlist In these organizations.
If judiciously selected and officered will
bo sufficient forco for mnlntenanco' of
order and will permit enrly material re
ductlon of United States troops. It Is
conceded by all but men In nms nnd Is
Implied ln their proclamations that If
election confirms present policy remnant
of Insurrection will disappear within 00
days by surrender of leaders and fading
out of rank and file.
Customs collections for Inst quarter
were r0 per cent, greater than ever ln
Spanish history, and August collections
show further Increnso. Total revenue for
samo period was one-third greater than
any quarter under Spain. Economy and
efficiency of military government liavs
created surplus fund of $G,000,000 Mexican
money, which annum be expended In
much-needed public works, notably Im
provement of Manila harbor, tho con

Manila, Sept. 21. The insurgent
demonstrations hist week prove to

An insurgent proclamation, signed
Inst month by Aguinaldo, directing
thnt American prisoners be set at

Washington, Sept. 23. America will
pursue nn entirely independent course
in its further relations with China
nnd in the settlement of the troubles
which have arisen in the Chinese em
pire. JSvery question which has been
pending before tlie state department
since the hist ofllclal utterance of this
government on August 29 wns definite
ly nnd finally settled by President
MoKinley and his ndvlscrs. The troops
of the United States are to be speedily
withdrawn from China nnd sent to
the Philippines. Minister Conger will
open the preliminaries to peace nego
tiations with Prince Cliing, who asked
the approval of this government for
bucIi action.
ltussia's request that the powers
withdraw their troops from Chinese
soil is definitely answered in the or
ders which were sent to Gen. Chaffco
to withdraw as speedily as possible.
The request of the southern viceroys
of China thnt the United States use
its good olllces to prevent the impor
tation of further foreign troops to
Chinese soil is also effectually nn
Bwered by the withdrawal of all our
forces except n small legation guard.
Thus have the representations and
requests of the different world pow
ers been met nnd answered. When
President MoKinley left for Canton,
It wns with the decks of the national
ship of state cleared for action, with
definite plans in view. The decision
of the United States is regarded as
one of the most important made in
recent years, barring, perhaps, those
which marked the inauguration of
the war with Spain.
There were many who thought that
the United States could not serve her
interests in China without entering
into some kind of understanding with
one or more of the world powers. Tho
president tried to reach such an un
derstanding, but was prevented by
the jealousies and bickerings between
foreign nations. He had originntctl
in the departmental note of July 3
nnd the later representations of Au
gust 29 nil thnt had been done by tho
international forces on Chinese soil.
Each nation, bent on its own schemes
of ambition or conquest, left tho
United States which had for its soul
purpose the protection of citizens nnd
the dealing out of justice to those who
had brought wrong on them no com
mon ground for uniting with any na
tion. The further course of the United
States, as mapped out in the note of
August 29, will be to secure "tho
treaty rights of all the powers for tho
future the open door assured, the in
terests nnd property of foreign cit
izens conserved nnd full reparation
mnde for the wrongs nnd injuries
suffered by them."
