DEVASTATED BY THE WAR
%
GEN. MAC ARTHUR TALKS OF CONDI
TIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
The Chicago Record-Herald of today
printed the following statement obtained
from Gen. MacArthur by a representative
of the Record-Herald In San Francisco:
"War has wrecked the Philippines and
laid waste whole districts. The people In
these districts have relapsed into barbar
ism. The best conditions prevail in north
ern Luzon. You may say that the whole
territory is pacified, but not traniiuiliz**d,
but It will not be many months before lew
and order are observed everywhere.
"While the conditions are not perfect,
they are gratifying. A few groups of
armed insurgents are still at large, but
they will soon surrender, as their power is
broken, and they are not being aided by
the natives. These natives have come to
see that surrender does not mean death,
and they are coming in every week witn
their rifles.
"Throughout northern Luzon the insur
rection has been dead for some time, and
there is freedom of movement. Still a large
criminal class there-commits depredations
on Americans and natives, though the lat
ter suffer the most severely. The natives
are eagerly seeking the establishment of
civil government, that they may root out
these bands of criminals. There is every
reason to believe that the whole country
will soon be perfectly safe for travelers.
"At present there is some trouble at
Samar, but Gen. Hughes, with a large and
effective force, has gone after them, and
will soon bring the insurgents to their
senses. That is the worst place, but it Is
not interfering with the coast business. In
Cebu and Bohul, and occasionally in south
ern Luzon, there is a slight outbreak, but
It Is caused by the criminal element.
"The civil commission was about to put
In force some excellent ideas for the mu
nicipal government for the city of Manila
when I left. The city Is in excellent con
dition, especially in its sanitary depart
ment, and Its growth has been remark- I
able "
Passengers on the Sheridan.
An Associated Press- dispatch from San
Francisco last night says: The transport
Sheridan, which arrived today from Ma
nila, bringing Gen. MacArthur and staff,
also has as passengers the officers and
enlisted men of the 14th Infantry and Com
pany A of the Battalion of Engineers, 'MX
discharged soldiers, thirty-nine prisoners,
sixty-nine discharged civilian employes, five
marines and twelve stowaways. The pris
oners are nearly all short-term men. most
of them soldiers of the 14th. Lieut. Quin
ton is In command of eight companies of
the 14th. A passenger on the Sheridan
was Capt. S. W. Newton of the 84th Volun
teers, who took a prominent part in the
capture of Aguinaldo.
Gen. MacArthur regards the capture ol
Aguinaldo as one of the most important
features of his campaign. He said Aguin
aldo since his capture had been of service
in bringing about a full acknowledgment
of the authority of the United States.
8. M. Green of Milwaukee met Gen. Mac
Arthur here with a greeting from the peo
ple of Milwaukee and an Invitation from
the Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso
ciation of that city to a sumptuous feast
when he shall arrive home.
Gen. MacArthur left Manila July 4 and
spent several days traveling in Japan,
leaving Yokohama August 3. On condi
tions in the Philippines the general said
he could say nothing beyond what was
contained in his report to the War Depart
ment made July 4, the day of his depart
ure.
Good Progress of Commission.
A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Both the civil and military officials are
gratified at the progress now being made
by the Philippine commission. Everywhere
throughout the northern islands the com
missioners And conditions ready for ctvQ
government, and General Chaffee has re
ceived none but satisfactory news from
Batangas and Mlndoro. advices from those
districts telling uniformly of captures or
surrenders. Many rifles have recently been
obtained and large quantities of supplies
