During Gen eral Otis' afternoon at tho war depart ment, in conference with the heads of tho various departments in regard to tho condition and needs of thoir de partments in tho Philippines, ho had many questions to answer in his inter course with his friends respecting pres ent and futuro conditions in tho Philip pines, and of those ho talked freoly. Ho mado ono statement in particular whloh camo as n distinct surprlso, in viow of tho fact that ho has sponta year and a half in fighting tho Fili pinos, for ho doolarod that theso samo Filipinos woro without question tho very host of any ol tho Asiatlo races living on tho Pacific coast and islands. Ho paid a high tributo to their acquisi tiveness, saying that young und old wero nllko auxious to learn from tho Arnoricans, and quick to do so if given an opportunity. Tho demand for schools on tho American plan was in satiable. It had not been possible to socuro a Hiiflkiont supply ot Spanish Amoricau toxt books, tho market hav ing boon denuded of such. When tho book-hungry Filipinos woro told this, they bogged for Ameri can school books, and doclarod that their children could learn from thorn oven without tho Spanish toxt and translations. General Otis found to his astonishment that such was the case, and says, that in tha course ot a fMevJtytiVriMut thevJtfllp-a' uMldita pica np m rair xnowieuge ui jviikuhii. Even the old natives con tho text books in tho effort to fix Euglish phrases iu thoir minds. Thoro was a dearth of teachers, too, Genoral Ots often having to use the soldiers iu his ranks who knew a littlo Spanish and so wero suit nblo as detail for tcachors. Goneral Otis said ho lookod upon this educational movement as tho only solu tion ot tho Philippine problom, and was confident that tho spread of American ideas through tho Filipino schools would in tho end make good cltizous ol tho Filipiuos. General Otis was positively of tho opinion that tho American forces iu tho Philippines at present woro "in lll clont (or all needs. Ot courso, ho said, General MauArthur's proton t army could not furnish a guard to protoct every Filipino household from the Ladrouos; to do that would require a force ot not less than 200,000 troops, and even thou the task would occupy many years. As a matter ot fuot, ho said, Spain had spout several conturios in tho effort to stamp out the Ladronoa in tho Philippino group, und thoro was reason to bollove that those brigands arVscurcoly more numerous now thau they wero during tho Spanish occupa tion, when tho islands wero nominally at peace with Spain. Goneral Otis was confident, however, that couditlous would steadily improve, and that little by littlo theso robber bands would be driven away. Mean while, he admitted that it was often dangerous tor Filipiuos of the better class, whoso Interests naturally lay In American sovereignty, to admit their preferences, for they woro subjoct in that caso to assassination, to tho loss ot property and to persecution, insti gated by various elements in tho popu lation to whom Americuu occupation was obnoxious.
