PUTTING IT DOWN
Method of Crushing the Fil
ipino Insurrection.
REPORT OF GEN. HACARTHUR
Casualties of One Year on Both Sides
Necessity of a Well-Organized
Army and Navy Capture of
Asruinaldo.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The annual re
port rf f Major-General MacArthur, dated
July 4, 190L the day he relinquished com
mand of the division of the Philippines,
has been received at the War Depart
ment The period covered by the report
is from October 1, 1900, when the last re
port from General MacArthur was dated.
He reviews the policy of the Filipinos
that were hostile to the Americans, say
ing that their action since the practical
collapse of the Insurrection has been a
perplexing problem. With the dlsband
ment of the Insurgent field armies, the
Filipinos organized desperate resistance
by "banding the people together In support
of the guerrillas. This was carried out,
by means of secret committees, who col
lected contributions, inflicted punishments
and carried on a considerable opposition
to the Americans. General MacArthur
reviews the manner In which operations
were carried on against these guerrillas
and says he hopes the policy adopted will
In time conciliate the natives and make
them friendly to the United States. The
education of the people In times" past
made them suspicious of any govern
mental beneficence, and they evidently
looked on the lenient attitude of the
United States as indicating weakness.
General MacArthur says the proclamation
issued on December 21, firmly declaring
the intention of the United States to hold
the island and to have the laws obeyed,
had a good effect, and the secret resist
ance was much abated.
A considerable portion of the report is
devoted to the field operations of the
Army, showing that October 1, 1900, it
occupied 413 stations, which was of ne
cessity Increased to 502 stations, every
command being in contact with some hos
tile force. He speaks of the good serv
ice of the Army and says, as a result of
the co-operation between the Army and
the people who have accepted the invita
tion to combine for mutual protection, the
armed insurrection is almost suppressed.
A Year's Casualties.
General MacArthur gives the following
statistics from May 5, 1900, to June SO,
1901 (during which time there were 1026
contacts between American troops and In
surgents), which show the casualties on.
both sides:

Missing 30

Killed 2,854
Wounded 1,193

During the same period the following
material was captured or surrendered
from the insurgents:
Rifles 15,693
Rifle ammunition, rounds 296,365
Revolvers 868
Bolos 3,516
Cannon 122
Cannon ammunition, rounds 10,270
At the date of the present report,
there was no embodied rebel force in Lu
zon above the Pasig River. In the De
partment of VIsayas, all was pacified, ex
cepting the Island of Saumar, and in the
Department of Mindanao and Jolo all the
rebels had submitted and been disarmed.
In Southern Luzon disorders still con
tinued in several provinces, but were di
minishing in force. Serious questions will
arise from time to time, General MacAr
thur says, In Mindanao and Jolo, the
adjustment of which will depend largely
upon facts and knowledge of Moro charac
ter. General MacATthur says the capture of
Agulnaldo may be regarded as the most
momentous single event of the year.
Speaking particularly of Agulnaldo, fie
says that the important immediate re
sults and the remote consequences make
it the Important event which he charac
terizes It. He calls it a unique, isolated
military transaction. The capture dis
pelled the growing tendency to Idealize
Agulnaldo's personality and to surround
him with mythical legends of invincibil
ity which millions of natives believed to
be true, and which ultimately would in
sure success for the rebellion. Agulnaldo
was the Incarnation of the insurrection.
His death would, have magnified the
legend which surrounded him, while his
capture has dispelled a great deal of the
fictitious value he had.
General MacArthur reviews the various,
supply departments of the Army and
speaks of them In the highest terms. He
also says the Navy's co-operation was
cordial and effective.
General MacArthur speaks of the great
confusion .regarding a money medium In
the Philippines, which is characteristic
of the Eastern world, and favors a coin
age system to meet the conditions exist
ing in the islands.
After discussing the various contentions
regarding the friars, General MacArthur
says:
"Properly speaking, and in a broad
scope, there Is no church In the Philip
pines. Under conservative procedure, and
if no extra-constitutional method is in
volved, there Is nothing presented of se
rious import, or calculated to cause any
considerable public concern."
General MacArthur says the Filipinos
will work when properly paid, and the
Chinese are not necessary as laborers, as
has been claimed. He recommends the
gradual decrease of the Chinese now In
the islands.
Reports of Staff Officers.
Accompanying the report of General
MacArthur are reports of the staff offi
cers, the officers commanding the various
departments in the archipelago, together
with the reports of military and civil offi
cers in the islands. Colonel S. W. Groes
beck, Judge-Advocate of the Division, of
the Philippines, says that since Septem
ber 1, 1900, 79 natives have paid the death
penalty for murder, arson, assassination
and treachery, while 89 others, sentenced
for similar offenses, are serving terms of
life imprisonment.
Colonel a A. Woodruff, Chief Com
missary, reports that his department has
supplied nearly 100,000 persons with food.
He says the present Army .ration is about
perfect for the service In the tropics.
Colonel Woodruff discusses at some length
the charges of commissary frauds 'in the
Philippines, and says that the losses on
the part of the officers amounted to 1312,
and on the part of the Sergeants to. $828.
Colonel Charles R. Greenleaf, Chief Sur
geon, says the nealth of the troops con
tinues to be good. The most serious feat
ure, according to Colonel Greenleaf, Is the
steady increase in venereal diseases
among the troops, showing from 8.97 per
cent in September, 1900, an Increase to
20.42 per cent in April this year. He says
that there Is not much disability among
the soldiers from alcoholism.
Major-General Lloyd Wheaton, com
manding the Department of Northern Lu
zon, says guerrilla warfare has been prac
tically suppressed. He adds: f
"The humanity of th6 tcoops engaged in
the endeavor to bring order out of the
chaos of robbery, rapine and murder has
no parallel In the history of dealing with
Asiatics."
Brigadier-General W. A. Kobe, com
manding the Department of Mindanao and
Jolo, says, regarding slaveryi
"Slavery, as the term is usually under
stood, does not exist among the Moros,
and radical and comprehensive measures
to abolish it would, at this time, be pre
mature and ineffective. The slaves and
masters belong to the same race and live
on equal terms."
Major O. J. Sweet, Twenty-third In
fantry, reporting from the third district
of General Kobe's department, says that
slavery is a constant source of "trouble
and that thousands of Moros are held as
slaves who are by right free people.
Brigadier-General E. H. Crowder, mili
tary secretary to General MacArthur, sub
mits a report, much of which is devoted
to the currency. A considerable portion of
General Crowder's report is devoted to
the church question, which involves dis
putes between the Filipinos and the friars.
He quotes an order to the commanding
General of the Department of Luzon,
which states that there must be a com
plete separation of church and state.
The report of the Treasurer shows that
the total receipts for the 11 months end
ing May 31 were $12,676,733, of which $2,
648,532 were balances on hand July 1, 1900.
The expenditures during the 11 months
were $6,437,627.
BITTEN BY A SHARK.
Quartermaster Lost His Leg: at Ho
Ho.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Admiral
Kempff has forwarded to the Navy De
partment an official report, thrilling in its
details, of the biting oft of a leg of Quar
termaster S. McKle, third class, of the
gunboat Annapolis, by a shark or other
mammoth sea monster.
The Annapolis has "been stationed of late
at Ho Ho, and June 24 last a party was
sent out for rifle target practice. Com
mander Rohrer, in command of the An
napolis, states that permission was given
to some of the men to go swimming, while
the others were engaged in firing. Two
of the men had been in for, some time
when McKle Joined them and asked if
they had been able to touch bottom. Be
ing answered In the negative, he made a
dive and was gone for several seconds.
One of the seamen says he heard a gur
gling sbund beneath the water. A moment
later McKle appeared on the surface and
shouted "Shark, shark!" The surface of
the water was covered "with blood near
where he came up. McKle smarted to
swim, and, although crippled, reached the
boat and was pulled in by his compan
ions. A horrible sight met their eyes, the
Quartermaster's leg having been bitten
off near the knee. With all dispatch he
was taken on board the Annapolis,- where
the surgeon found it necessary to ampu
tate the limb between -the knee- and hip.
Th, .surgeon, in his rerort, states that
while" the accident - was" not "in line of
duty. It was incident to the- service. Ad
miral Kempff, however, in indorsing the
papers, holds that as Quartermaster Mc
Kle had received permission -from the offi
cer in charge to go In bathing, the acci
dent occurred in the line of duty. Under
these circumstances, the crippled Quar
termaster probably will receive a pension.
FOUGHT MALVAR'S BAND.

THE LATE EX-GOVERNOR WILLIAM A. NEWELL.
-
state from 1845 to 185L Dr. Newell was
elected Governor of New Jersey in 1S5G
on the Republican ticket. He was again
a candidate for Governor against Gen
eral McClellan, but was defeated. Dur
ing the Administration of President
Hayes, Governor Newell was appointed
Governor of Washington Territory, and
from that time until about three years
ago he made Washington his home.
AS GOVERNOR. OF WASHINGTON.
Appointed by Hayes and Served
From 1880 to 1SS4.
SEATTLE, Aug. 8. William A. Newell,
whose death Is announced from New
Jersey, was Governor of Washington
when it was a territory, from 1880 to
1884, having been appointed by President
Hayes to succeed Ellsha P. Ferry, and
was succeeded by Watson C. Squire. Af
ter leaving the office of Governor Mr.
Newell located in Thurston County and
practiced medicine for some years, when
he returned to his home In New Jersey.
D. B. Ward, a local pioneer, speaking of (
him today, said:
"His administration was broad-gauged
and satisfactory to the people as a whole.
The many appointees hemade during his
term of office were always well. chosen
and gave good satisfaction to the people.
The distinguished public service accom
plished by him was the inauguration of
the life-saving service while a member
of Congress."
Mr. Ward was able to recall when, the
Governor first arrived in Seattle. It was
during a jed-hot territorial campaign and
the Republicans were holding a meeting
on the evening of his arrival. Tho Gov
ernor went immediately to the hall,
travel-stained as he was, and made one
of his characteristic speeches. He many
times visited Seattle and" was always
much admired by his constituents.
FOUNDED LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
Dr. Newell Was a Benefactor of
Mankind.
' The Review of Reviews for April, 1901,
has the following sketch of Dr. Newell's
work in connection with the life-saving
service:
The United States Llfe-Savlng Service Is a
credit to the Nation. Its personnel Is noted
for bravery and efficiency; its records are
crowded with deeds of heroism. It Is a fact,
however, that not one American in a thou
sand knows anything about the origin of this
beneficent, institution, or can nanfe Its
founder.
The man who deserves credit for bringing
the matter of a life-saving service before
Congress, and agitating it there until his
project was adopted, is Dr. "William A. Icwell,
now, at the age ot 83, a practicing physician
at Allentown. N. J.
Dr. Newell's own account of the Incidents
that led to the creation of the unlaua system
for saving life along our storm-swept coasts,
as given In Success for March, reads as fol
lows: "My Identification with the life-saving sys
tem of the United States was the result of a
marine disaster I happened to view during
the Summer of 1839, when an Austrian brig,
the Count Perasto, was wrecked on Long
Beach, Monmouth, now Ocean, County, N. J.,
near the Mansion House south of Barnegat
Inlet when tho captain and crew, 13 In num
ber, were drowned and their bodies washed
upon the strand.
"Tho wreck occurred at midnight The ves
sel struck a sandbar 300 yurds from shore,
and was driven by the force of the violent
winds through the surf, upon tho beach, where,
when the tide receded, she lay stranded high
and dry. The sailors were drowned while
endeavoring to swim ashore from tho bar
where the vessel had lodged for a time, and
the bodies were found scattered alohg the
beach for more than a mile.
"The bow of the brig being elevated and
close to the shore, after the storm had ceased
the idea was quickly forced upon my mind
that these unfortunate sailors might have
been saved could a line have been thrown them
across the fatal chasm. It was but a short
distance to the bar, and they could have been
hauled ashoro In their small boat through or
on the surf. The Idea was followed by the
suggestion of a projectile forco for that pur
pose. I instituted experiments and there are
still living wltneses who can attest my state
mentsby throwing light lines with bows and
arrows, by rockets, and by a shortened
lunderbuss, with ball and line. My Idea
culminated in complete success, however, by
use of a mortar, or a corronadc, and a ball
and line. Then I found, "to my great delight,
that It was an easy matter to carry out my
desired purpose."'
In 1S46 Dr. Newell wa3 elected a Repre
sentative In Congres from New Jersey, and
at the earliest opportunity, on Janury 3, 1843.
he offered the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the committee on commerce
be Instructed to Inquire whether any plan can
be devised whereby the dangerous navigation
along the coast of New Jersey, between Sandy
Hook and Little Egg Harbor, may be fur
nished with additional safeguards to life and
property, and that the committee report by
bill or otherwise."
Nothing came of the resolution; but en
August 3, IS 18. Dr. Newell made a speech In
the House of Representatives detailing the
loss of life caused by wrecks, and also the
points of his plan to save lives. He secured
the support of such members of Congress as
John Qulncy Adams and Abraham Lincoln.
When the lighthouse bill of the Senate camo
before the House for consideration Dr. Newell
offered a second resolution providing for surf
boats, rockets, carronades, and other neces
sary apparatus for the better preservation ot
life and property from shipwreck along th
New Jersey coast. An appropriation of $10,000
wa3 asked. This resolution In the form of an
amendment to the lighthouse bill was unani
mously adopted. In the third session of the
30th Congress an extension of the service
from Little Egg Harbor to Cape May was
secured with an appropriation of 510,000. In
the next Congress an additional appropriation
of $20,000 was made, as the result of Dr.
Nftwelf s -efforts,' -and-nho experiments were
extended to other points on tho Atlantic
coast and tho Quit of Mexico.
In 1857-0 Dr. Newell was Governor of New
. .. .-.-" m : ":' .- ,f
Jersey and in 18C1 he was as-pointed by PresK
dent Lincoln as superintendent of the New
Jersey Coast Llfe-Savlng Service. Returning
to Congress In 1865, he was enabled, from his
four years' experience in the work, to greatly
advance tho usefulness of the system. In 1SGU
he proposed extensions of tho service and suc
cessfully advocated appropriations of $50,000.
Today the Government appropriates for this
service more than $41,500,000 annually, main
taining nearly 300 rescue stations, manned by
2000 bpvo and skilled wreckers and life
savers. It is said that this feature of our
Governmental system, which is under the di
rection of the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, ha3 no counterpart In any other coun
try. It Is estimated that 225,000 lives havo
been saved by the 'methods which Dr. Xewcll
originated and in great part perfected hatf
a century ago.
LAWS0N IS DISGUSTED.
If He Cannot Get a Race He "Will
Brcnlc Up Independence.
BOSTON, Aug. 8. If no yacht can be
found to race against the Independence
by- September 3. Mr. Lawson, the owner,
will order her broken up as old metal.
Thl3 was his instructions today, when
the only chance for a race against either
the Constitution or the Columbia, slipped
by because the managers of these yachts
would not enter a regatta In which there
was to be a class for 90-footcrs. The
particulars are contained in the follow
ing statement, issued by Mr. Clapp, who
is Mr. Lawsons' secretary:
"The only pending engagement of the
Independence was a race under the
auspices of the Indian Harbor Yacht
Club, to take place August 24, and Mr.
Lawson, before Reaving for an Eastern
cruise, which he' Intends to extend, until
September 10, gave instructions to havo
tho Independence put in the best racing
condition possible and to remain at New
port tuning upl
"I today received this telegram: 'Ex
ceedingly regret that owing to Inability
to secure entry either of Constitution or
Columbia, we are compelled to call off
race scheduled for 24th inst Frank R.
Jones, Chairman regatta committee, In
dian Harbor Yacht Club.'
"I immediately communicated the same
to Mr. Lawson and he has given me In
structions to bring the Independence to
Boston and keep her in racing condition
until September 3 and to do everything
feasible to arrange for as many races as
possible between her and any or all of the
other 90-footers, to take place under the
auspices of any yacht club in any waters
and any conditions, and If no races can
be arranged by that date, to have her
broken up at once. The binding offer of
any American yacht club to bring about
one or more races with any of the three
90-footers will be accepted by Mr.Law
son, provided it is received on or before
September 3."

WASHINGTON, Aug. S. Just bofore
the Navy Department closed today an
order was sent to Captain George O.
Reiter, of the battle-ship Wisconsin, now
at Anacortes, near the Puget Sound Na
val Station, to proceed to San Francisco,
from which point the battle-ship will be
dispatched to Panama In case the State
Department requests the presence of a
warship on the Pacific side of the Isthmus.
This action was taken after Acting Secre
tary Hackett had received from the State
Department a communication from Presi
dent Simmons, of tho Panama Railroad
Company, setting forth the seriousness of
the situation on the Isthmus and suggest
ing that warships be sent both to the
Atlantic and the Pacific side.
Mr. Adee, the Acting Secretary of State,
replied to Mr. Simmons that the gunboat
Machias had been ordered to Colon on
tho Atlantic side, but it was the view of
the officials during the day, both at the
State and Navy Departments, that there
was no great necessity for sending down
a ship on the Pacific side. For this rea
son Mr. Adee made no request on tke
Navy Department for another ship, but
as a matter of information he transmitted
the letter of Mr. Simmon3 to the acting
head of the Navy Department. While this
was not a request for a ship, yet Mr.
Hackett felt that It was quite deslrablo
to have one In readiness to go, should
the request be made. He, therefore, di
rected that the order be sent to the Wis
consin to come down to San Francisco,
and there await further orders.
The selection of a battle-ship for this
prospective, duty apparently gives a grav
ity to the situation which In reality it
does not possess. Unfortunately, most of
the smaller ships are In Asiatic waters
and the department was obliged to choose
between unserviceable old wooden ships
and tho fine new battle-ships on the Pa
cific Coast. The Wisconsin Is one of the
finest ships of the new Navy, and If she
should be sent, this will be practically
her first active duty, as she has been In
commission only a short time.
TRAFFIC BECOMING UNSAFE.
Pressure Brought to Bear- on the
Panama Railroad Company.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. F. A. Drake,
secretary of the Panama Railroad Com-
rpany, saidtoday that the communication
which J. Edward Simmons, president
of the company, sent to the State De
partment, suggesting that an American
pariment, suggesting mat an American
waMhlp go t0 the Pacmc sldo at Pana.
, .. 4 ,. amo-u,. -ij- -
ma ,as well as to the Atlantic side at
Colon, was sent largely as the result
of the pressure which residents of the
isthmus have brought to bear on tho
company. Since Wednesday night offi
cers of the company in New York havo
received mail advices from the Isthmus
showing Increased activity on the part
of the Insurgents in the shape of depre
dations by bands of from 40 to 50 guer
rillas, who have raided outlying towns,
looting proptrey and capturingr citizens
for ransom.
Traffic, however, even in the absence
of any reported depredations along tho
railroad line, is clearly tending, in tho
opinion of tho officers, to become unsafe
and tho significance of the movements of
the rebels, they think, is that it appears
to be a revival of tho insurrection that
was supposed to have been suppressed
last year.

of Paterson, N. J., has Issued orders to
the "Right of Existence" group of anarch
ists that ho will not permit the perform
ance in the city of the advertised play
depleting the murder of King Humbert.
The Mayor says he will, In future, take
steps to prevent meeting of the anarch
ists such as 'the one held recently to glo
rify Bresci.
