REBELS TREACHEROUS IN EXTREME
Take Advantage of Humanity Displayed
by Most American Soldiers Intimida
tion Unit Discourages Haste in Sup
pluntliisr Military With Civil Rule
WASHINGTON Nov 7 The War
department today made public the
first annual report of Major General
Chaffee military governor of the Phil
ippines General Chaffee sums up the
situation in the islands from a mili
tary point of view by stating that
the provinces of Batangas and La
Guna in Luzon and the islands of
Samar Mindoro Cebu and Bohol cpn
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 tc the
humanity of the troops which is tak
en advantage of by the rebels 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 and when undertaken
should be gradual 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-government
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 inhabitants
In anticipation of a partial concen
tration of the troops in the islands
next year General Chaffee jsubmits
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 500000 as a rough esti
mate of cost for this project and says
that 200000 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 2000000 is
required
General Chaffee devotes a good por
tion to the terrible disaster which be
fell Company C Ninth infantry at
Balangiga Samar and which he says
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

Gunbont Vicksuurc Reports
WASHINGTON Dec 7 The navy
department received a delayed cable

the gunboat Vicksburg went into dock

OPPOSE THE SENATES ACTION
Cs an Invasion of tho Prerogative of the
Lower Body
WASHINGTON 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 Lodges bill which deals
with this subject Representative
Tawney of Minnesota holds that the
constitutional provision that all bills
for raising revenue shall originate in
the house of representatives applies
to Philippine measures and the Min
nesota member will oppose any senate
bill on the subject as an invasion of
the prerogatives of the house
Mr Overstreet of Indiana and quite
a number of other influential members
maintain that the senate Philippine bill
Involves no invasion of house rights
as it extends an existing law to the
Philippines and is not a revenue
measure within the meaning of the
constitution In any event the ques
tion of the right of the house over the
subject is likely to be discussed on
the floor of the house
PRICES REACH HIGH LEVEL
Necessaries of Life SurpaGS the Kecord
of Many Years
NEW YORK Dec 6 Duns index
number to be issued December 7 will
say
If a man purchased his supplies
for one year on December 1 they
would have cost 10137 while the
same quantity of the same articles
would have aggregated only 57245 on
July 1 1897 the lowest point on rec
ord and 12175 on January 1 1860
These price records are compiled by
multiplying the quotations of all the
necessaries of life by the per capita
consumption Prices are now at the
highest point in many years and in
fact surpass all records since present
improved methods of manufacture and
distribution have been in use and ag

inally purchased from the govern
ment

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET
Latest Quotations From Sontli Omiilin
and Kansas City
SOUTH OMAHA
Cattle Thcro wus 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
thcro wus lively competition particularly
for tho better grades The general mar
ket could safely bo 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 nctlve and higher The bet
ter grades were easily strong to a dime
higher The medium grndes and canners
did not show much change but still they
moved more freely than they have for
the last several days Bulls also sold at
good strong prices where tho 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 thnt sellers had no difficulty In
getting good steady prices for anything
at all desirable The common kinds
though were neglected the same as
usual There were very few westerns In
tho yards but It is safe to quote beef
steers of good quality strong and active
Hogs There was not a very heavy run
of hogs and as other markets were
quoted higher prices Improved at this
point The market opened lVQ15c higher
with the prime heavyweights selling from
615 to G20 The medium weights sold
largely from IC3 to JS10 butcher
weights from GC0 to GC5 and the light
hogs from 000 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 JGOO to 603
Sheep There were only a few cars of
sheep and lambs on sale and a good pro
portion of what did arrive were feeders
An thing in the way of mutton grades
sold freely at steady to strong prices as
tho demand on the part of packers was
active The limited offerings soon
brought the market to a close Tho
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
