Wesley Morritt, tho lato commander
of the Unltod States military forces in
the Fhillpplno inlands, who was called
to Paris to consult with tho American
peaoa coramUslouors, reached hero to
day on tho aleamor Lucanla from
Qaoonstown. Tho general will resume

of, tho East, tho position ho hold when
M was ordered to tho Far Ka.nl. From

"It is sotno tlmo nlnco I loft tho
Philippine Inlands," said Uoueral Mor
ritt, "and all that I can Hay about tho
situation thoro when 1 loft is con
tained in ofllolal roportn which I mado
to tho govcrnmont and pcaco com
mission. I can say, however, that
thcro Is no foundation for tho report
that Admiral Dowoy's health has
broken down an a result of his
wonderful work in Manila harbor
on May 1, last, lto was In lino
'physical condition whon I left him
and ho was thou over tho strain of tho
naval light. Thcro Is another thing
that'Iwould llko tho people to know.
It is that tho ellmato or tho Philip
pines ia not by any means as it is Bald
to be I met a number of Europeans
thcro who had been In tho country for
fourteen years or moro and they
seemed to thrlvo and had no serious
complaints about tho oil mate. Tho
mortality among our troops sent to
prcservo order thoro is not so great as
some would havo tho people bellovo.
"The Germans acted a llttlo queer
when I got thcro first. They were kind
of mcdiilouomo in matters which I
think thoy should havo lot aloiio. Tho
German officers thcro mado mo no of

and then tholr .visit was not what
might bo termodfrleudly, Thoro was
bo serious clash, and I am glad ot It.
fTho voluntoors behaved nobly during
tho flghtu wo had. 1 hey arc good sol
diers. "As to General Miles' bill to ir.crcaso
the ftrmy to IdO.OOO, nt present I can
not discuss tho proposed moasuro for
the reason that I havo not yot soon a
copy of it. I think it will tako about
80,000 soldiers to hold tho Islands in
ease this country desires to keep thorn,
and I boo no roason why it should not.
"I havo no comment to tniko on tho
so-called expansion which Is being dis
cussed pro and con theso days. Thoro
aro many Spaniards upon tho islands
that want to remain thorc With 15,
000 United States soldiers and tho re
