partment. in the PbilipplnUe, be bad
many question to answer in bit Inter
cctirse with hui nend respeoting pres
ent and futnre condition tn the Philip
pine, and ol these he talked freely.
He made one statement in particular
which came as a distinct urpriae, ia
view ol the fact that he ba spent a
year and ball In fighting the Fill
nlno. for he declared that these Mime
Filipino, were without question the
very best ol any ol the Asiatio races
living on the Pacific coast and islands.
He paid high tribute to their acquisi
tiveness, aaying that young and old
were alike anxiotit to learn from the
American, and quick to do ao 11 given
an opportunity. The demand lor
nhnnla nn the American tlan waa in
satiable. It had not been possible to
'"..Jent .upply of Spanish
texTtook. Ihe market bay
Inn Imen denuded of tUfh.
When the book-hungry Filipinot
were told this, they begged for Ameri
can school book, and declared that
their children could learn from them
even without the Spanish text and
translation. General Oti. found to
bi. astonishment that such wa. the
case, and says that in the course of a
very few mouth the Filipino children
pick up a fair knowledge of English.
Even the old native con the text book
in the effort to fix English phrase, in
their mind.. There wa a dearth of
teacher, too, General Ots often having
to use the soldiers in bi rank who
knew a little Spanish and so were suit
able at detail for teacher.
General Otl said he looked upon this
educational movement a the ouly solu
tion of the Philippine problem, and wa
confident that the spread ol American
idea, through the Filipino school,
would in the end make good citizen, ol
the Filipinos.
General Otl wa positively ol the
opinion that tlie American force, in
the Philippine at present were suffi
cient for all needs. Of course, he said,
General Macirthur't present army
could not furnish a guard to protect
every Filipino household from the
Ladronea; to do that would require a
force of not le. than 200.000 troops,
and even then the task would occupy
many yean. Aa a matter of fact, be ,
aaid, Spain bad spent several centuries
in the effort to stamp out the Ladronea
in the Philippine group, and there wa
reason to believe that those 'brigand
are scarcely more numerous now than
they were dnring the Spanish occupa
tion, when the island were noininallj
at peace with Spain.
General Otl waa confident, however,
that condltiona would steadily improve,
and that little by little these robber
band would be driven away. Mean
while, be admitted that it waa often
dangerous tor Filipinos of, the better
class, whose interests naturally lay in
American sovereignty, to admit their
preference, for they were subject in
that case to assassination, to the losa
of property and to persecution, insti
gated by various elements in the popu
lation to whom American occupation
waa obnoxioua.

"The foreicn reinforcements are
