full knowlcdgo that it is at tho risk
of his lifo.
The United 8tates Philippine com
mission came to Cobu to organize tho
island into a provinco and found
recognition by tho military authori
ties of numerous practically insur
recto town governments. This is
justified by tho military commander
of tho district, Colonel McCIorand,
of tho Forty.fourth infantry, on tho
ground that thoso semi-government
towns nro conducted under the sur
voilance of tho military detachments
stationed in most of tho towns. Ac

Washington, Juno 7. In accord
ance witli instructions from tho navy

F. Tilloy, tho naval commandant at
tho United States naval station, at
Tutuiln, Samoa, lies forwarded to
Washington a report on tho popula
tion of thoso islands of tho Samoan
group under tho jurisdiction of tho
United States. From tho most reli
able authority in tho islands, ho has
ascertained that tho population of
Tutuila totals 4,000, and of tho
Nanua groups, 2,000, including adults
and children. In addition to tho
native population there nro on tho
islands approximately 100 whites. x
Sinco his last report to the depart
ment, Commnndor Tilloy has visited
tho islands of Nanua aboard his sta
tion ship, tho Almronda, and has
found everything in a most satisd'o
tory condition. The natives of these
islands, ho says, exhibit much kind
lier feeling than over before They
havo voted a tax for tho payment of
their officials and for other expenses
of tho government. It is paid in
copra. Tho rate Is about :i per ncati
for overy inhabitant. This, says tho
commander, is a very light tax, and
is not in the least bunlensomo to tho
natives, Tho abundant copra crop
of tho islands is now being harvested
and shipped, and Commander Tilloy
is endeavoring to havo tho natives
rcallzo fair prices for it something;
very unusual in tho past.
Cnmmaudor Tilloy reports every
thing in tho island of Tutuila in ai
very satisfactory state.
