WHY THE WAR GOES ON General Chaffee Reports Causes of Gueril la Uprisings in Philippines. REBELS TREACHEROUS IN EXTREME Take Advantage of Humanity Displayed by Most American Hnldiera—Intimida tion that Discourage* Haute In Sup planting Military With Civil Rule. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7—The War department today made public the first annual report of Major General ChafTee, military governor of the Phil ippines. General ChafTee sums up the situation in the islands from a mili tary point of view by stating that the provinces of Batangas and Im Gunn, in Luzon, and the islands of Samar. Mindoro, Cebu and Bohol con stitute the area now disturbed by any embodied force of insurgents. He says that to the physical character of the country, to the nature of the war fare of the rebels, who are amigos and foe in the self-same hour, to the humanity of the troops, which Is tak en advantage of by the rebelB and the inhabitants who sympathize with them, and to the fear of assassination on the part of the friendly disposed if they give information to the American forces, is due the promulga tion of the guerrilla warfare. Commenting upon the plan of grad ually replacing military with civil ad ministration, General Chaffee says: “The withdrawal of interference with civil affairs does not contemplate withdrawal of the troops from their stations to any considerable extent. On the contrary, this should not be done hastily nnd when undertaken should be graduul and more In the nature of concentration than reduc tion of force or abandonment of any considerable area of territory.” , He therefore recommends that there be no material reduction of troops be fore January, 1903. The civil govern ments which are being organized— provincial and municipal—General Chaffee says, are both new and untried and there is but one certain and reli able method of ascertaining the progress of the Filipinos in self-gov ernment. namely, its observation by the army. "In the government of Manila for threee years, if the military influences have done nothing more, it is every where apparent that an excellent foundation has been laid and a tur bulent and hostile community brought to observe the laws and individually be orderly. This has been done with out undue harshness or great severity of treatment of the inhabintants.” In anticipation of a partial concen tration of the troops In the Islands next year General Chaffee |subfnits estimates of cost for the construction of quarters and barracks. He recom mends that a permanent post be con structed at once in the vicinity of Manila for a garrison of two squad rons of cavalry, two batteries of ar tillery and two full regiments of in fantry, together with a hospital and store house, the whole to be under the command of a brigadier general. He gives $500,000 as a rough esti mate of cost for this project, and says that $200,000 should be available im mediately, in order to take full advan tage of the dry season. For the con struction of permanent quarters at other places which may be determined upon he estimates that $2,000,000 is required. Generul Chaffee devotes a good por tion to the terrible disaster which be fell Company C, Ninth Infantry, at Balangtga, Samar, and which, he sa^ys. was “largely due to overconfidence in the assumed pacified conditions and in a people who to a great extent as yet are strangers to and unapprecia tive of our humane and personal lib erty beliefs and actions."

Dec. 6.—Members of the house of representatives are showing some opposition to the orig ination of Philippine revenue legisla tion in the senate, and in particular to Senator Dodge’s bill, which deals with this subject.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. latest Quotations From South Omaha and Kansas City. SOUTH OMAHA. Cattle—There was a very light run of cattle, and as the demand on the part of packers was liberal the market ruled active and higher all around on anything at all good. The limited offerings of corn fed steers brought buyers out early and there was lively competition, particularly for the better grades. The general mar ket could safely be quoted strong to a dime higher, and in a good many cases sales were made that looked a good deal higher. Although the bulk of the offer ings consisted of butcher stock, the cow market was active and higher. The bet ter grades were easily strong to a dime higher. The medium grades and canners did not show much change, but still they moved more freely than they have for the lost several days. Bulls also sold at good, strong prices where the quality was at all good. Veal calves and stags could be quoted strong. There were only a few stockers and feeders on the mar ket, so that sellers had no difficulty In. getting good, steady prices for anvthing at all desirable. The common kinds, though, wrere neglected, the same as usual. There were very few westerns In the yards, but it is safe to quote beef steers of good quality strong and active. Hogs—There wras not a very heavy run of hogs, and as other markets were quoted higher prices improved at this point. The market opened 10®15c higher with the prime heavyweights selling from $6.15 to $6.20. The medium weights sold largely from $6.05 to $6.10, butcher weights from $6.00 to $6.05, and the light hogs from $6.00 down. It was not an active market, however, as buyers and sellers were far apart in their views. The bulk of the sales went from $6.00 to $6.05. Sheep—There were only a few cars of sheep and lambs on sale and a good pro portion of what did arrive were feeders. Anything in the way of mutton grades sold freely at steady to strong prices, as the demand on the part of packers was active. The limited offerings soon brought the market to a close. The feeder situation did not show much change from yesterday. The choicer bunches moved fairly well, but common stuff was neglected the same as has been the case for some time past. KANSAS CITY.

While the shaft propels one propeller, the case, whirling in the opposite direction, moves a second screw, both screws driving the vessel. Physicians Mach Interested. Northport, Mich., Dec. 9.—The medi cal men are just now eagerly discuss ing a most remarkable cure of a severe ?ase of Kidney Disease in this county. Mr. Byron O. Leslie of Northport has for years been a victim of kidney de rangements, with all the consequent pain and annoyance. He was gradual ly growing worse and as the disease advanced he became very despondent, often wondering if he would have to endure this suffering all his lifetime. But at last he found a remedy that cured him in Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He was much pleased, but did not say much about it lest the good effect he experienced would not last. Now, however, after months of continued good health he has concluded that he is permanently cured and his an nouncement of this has caused a pro found sensation among the physicians and the people who knew of his appar ently hopeless condition.
