Allen, sixth cavalry, dated Manila, December 15, concern ing tho Philippine constabulary, of which ho is chief. Captain Allen says tho constabulary consisted of 2,500 mon, and was nblo to control, without tho aid of troops, tho provinces of Abrn, Bontoc, Union, Lopanto, Ban guet, Nuovn Vizcaya, Bataan, Priuclpo and Infanta. Up to tho dato of tho report there had boon only two men lost from tlto force by desertion a showing attrib uted to tho care in tho selection of tho mon. Captain Allen says that experi ence has shown that tho cost of a single constable for ono year docs not exceed $250 gold, while tho cost of maintain ing an American soldier ordinarily is reckoned atubout $1,000. Captain Al len states that inchusing down tho rob ber bands tho ronstabulnry is uncpies tioimbly more efficient than tho Ameri can trootis, and while 0110 large garri son in many of tho provinces may bo always necessary, it is his opinion, after n thorough study of conditions, that in ono year's time 15,000- Ameri can soldiers, with tho native contingent of troops and constabulary, will suffice to garrison the Philippine archlpelngo. Cuntitlii Allen snvs that thu ueneral 'conditions of the islands as regards pa cification havo never been bo favorable na now, when the "crumbling from tho top ' is duly inaniioHied. in ins opin ion thu campaign in progress in Batan gas and Laguna will bo tho coup do grace 01 the insurrection. I ho better class of people, he says, are extremely ired of tho struggle, and ardently de sire neaco. The rocolitlv enacted sedi tion law, bo says, has "lind a potent value in bringing oviluoorH ,to a reali sation of'thoir allegiance to In'w and or der. In n recapitulation of tho work ot tho constabulary for a little over four Btontlis, it is shown that in 10 engage pnentk 20' outlaws havo boon killed, 20 wounded and 374 captured. 1 BIG.
