Declares That the Filipinos Are the
Best of the Asiatic Races, Es
pecially Anxious and Quick
to Learn.
WASHINGTON, June 1!.-During
General Otis' af tern son at the war de
partment, In conference with the heads
of the various departments In regard
to the condition and needs of their de
partments in the Philippines, he had
many questions to answer in his In
tercourse with his friends, respecting
prexent and future conditions In the
Philippines, and of. these he talked
, quite treely. He made one statement
In particular which came as a distinct
surprise, In view of the facfthat he
has spent a year and a half In'nghting
the Filipinos, for he declared that these
same Filipinos were without question
the very best of any of the Asiatic
races living: on the Pacific coast and
Islands. He paid a high tribute to
their acquisitiveness, saying that young
and old were alike anxious to learn
from the Americans and quick to do so
If given an opportunity.
The demand for schools on the Anier
can plan was Insatiable. It had not
been possible to secure a sufficient sup
ply of Spanish-American text books.
the market having been denuded of
such. When the book-hungry Filipinos
were told this, they begged for Amer
can school books, and declared that
their children could learn from them
even without the Spanish text and
translations. General Otis found to
his astonishment that such was the
case, and says that in the course of
a very few months the Filipino child
ren pick up a fair knowledge of Eng
lish. Even the old natives con the
text books In the effort to fix English
phrases in their minds- There was a
dearth . of teachers, too. General Otis
often had recourse to the soldiers in
his ranks who know a little Spanish
and so were suitable for. detail as
teachers.
General Otis said he looked upon this
educational movement as the only solu
tion of the Philippine problem, and
was confident that the spread oi Amer
ican Ideas through the Filipino schools
would in the end make good citizens
i of the Filipinos.
General Otis was positively of the
opinion that the American forces In
the Philippines at present were suffi
cient for all needs. Of course, he said.
General MacArthur's present " army
could not furnish a guard to protect
every Filipino household in the La
drones; to do that would require a
force of no less than 200,000 troops, and
even then the task would occupy
years. As a matter of fact, he said,
Spain had spent several centuries In
the effort to stamp out the Lad rones in
the Philippine group, -and there was
reason to believe that those brigands
are scarcely more numerous now than
they were during the Spanish occupa
tion, when the islands were nominal
ly at peace with Spain.
General Otis was confident, however,
that conditions would steadily Improve
and that little by little these robber
bands would be driven away. Mean
while, he admitted that It was often
dangerous for Filipinos of the better
class, whose Interests naturally lay In
American sovereignty, Jto admit their
preferences, for they were subject in
that case to assassination, to the loss
of property and to persecution, insti
gated by various elements in the pop
ulation to whom American occupation
was obnoxious.

The battleships known as the Penn

heavier than the Oregon, mow than
100 feet longer, and with at least three
knots higher speed. The six cruisers
of the California clas of 14,000 tons,
23 knots speed and 1$ knots steaming
radius, will be unmatched in the world.
They will be 5000 tons larger than the
Erooklyn, and at least three times as
powerful for fighting uses. All these
vessels will be armir-eoated from the
extreme bow to the stern, and will be
the most formidable ships yet laid
down in any dockyard. The three pro

most useful type of cruiser now in the
service. These three new vessels,
which are to be named for cities, will
have coal capacity for steaming three

maintained speed will be 23 knots. The
secretary of the navy has also been
directed by the last naval approprla
tion act to contract for Ave Holland
submarine boats to cost $175,000 each
and to be built within a year.

CURRENT COMMENT.
I-llllan RuhscII Indignantly denies that

Mlxs Rusxell's denial was the first
news of the matter that got Into gen

A New York man with nn Incoms of

He was probably despondent because
of the por prospect of muklng It $75,
000. and thus getting Int.) a ponltl n
where the strain of living would be
eased smwhat.
It has Juiit been discovered that Cae
far and I'onKy fought nlxty miles
from their celebrated bjittle. ground.
This shows that I'cmpey rail faster and
farther thnn has hitherto been sup
posed, and we tnke pleasure In cor
recting the mistake.
If Gr-)v.-r Cleveland really wants to
start a new ,nrty there Is no reason
why he can't go out on the front steps
at any time which may suit his con
venience and uet It In motion.
Mr. Harrlman of California has been
nominated for president by the Socialist-Labor
party nnd for vice-president
by the Social -Democratic party. There
Is no Immediate danger, however, that
this will lead to awkward complica
tions. Don't condemn a man for beating

A child's life may be
