I., July 10, 1900. I have been intending to write you for a long while, and 1 'owe you extra apologies for not (having done so, or at least for not having acknowledged the (many and very acceptable papers and periodicals that have" be em (received from you by the transport in their re curring arrivals every 15 days. In the reorganization, or rather or ganization, of 'tlhis station with inexpe renced clerks and employes, I have had to do practically all of the books, returns and correspondence myself, and event ye?t cannot be assured of their cor rectness except by personal inspection; this otuside of regular work, and I have as a result had) but meagre time for letter writing and have done little of it. The trials of mosquitoes, heat, of the climate and prickly heat practically preclude any reading rr writing in the evenings. In fact, existence out here has its amusing peculiarities and draw backs, but, by and large, for the trop ics, it has none of the very serious side t hat the newspapers are so fond of di lating on in their penny-a-liners, or what our reporters would call space- work. The time passes pleasantly enough, however, for the surroundings. We ibave a sort of a kind of a house, 4n miserable repair, in the itown of Cavite, which answers for many of the comfonts of a home, and the ser vice at the station is interesting enough and busy enough to render tthat part acceptable. The status quo in the iPhiliooines s rather an inscrutable matter Just now, and really has but little share of the public interest as compared with the unpleasantness ia China. A general amnesty was proclaimed on Jiuaie 15, to laspe in 90 days, when the next umber on' the program, what ever it may be, will be promulgated. There is a general confidence that Gen eral MacArthur will develop it all at the proper ttime, though saying little, but sawing wood; interviews with him are infrequent and unsatisfactory. As for, the amnesty, many of the in surgent leaders have of late disposed themselves in convenient places about Manila for easy capture, taken the oath and become more or less good; citizens, in time to save wheir precious necks, and variously acquired gains. The ofh-; j ers keep in the brush to carry on a fairly lucrative practice of marauding, English thieves, Spanish ladrones, or hold out in the hope of a democratic victory at the presidential election, when they are sure the country wil$ be iturned over to them at once. Of course there are continual brushes with this 'unorganized, g&ng which are paint ed and embroidered in your newspaper reports accordingly a it strikes the Im agination) of tthe reporter to be of greater or less moment. It is a fact, however, that the idea of independence and desire to drive out nine Americans Is so general under present conditions which a word from Aguinaldo could practically efface that there is not a ; town, ci:y or .village In any of 'these is lands, excepting perhaps the Sulu ! group, where it is safe for any one to ' venture beyond the outposts unarmed, in many places without a guard, either . bv day or by night. Of course much of this is due tohigh I waymeai', ladrones, who recognize in a ! foreigner fine opportunies for loot, but 1 still this feeling is fostered in many of rthese ladrones by the political con dition. That this people and their country are in no condition for self government is only too evident 'here and only too little appreciated in the states. Naturally simple, provincial, for the mostpart illiterate and poor, with the most circuimS'cribed noticum of itlhe world in general; with a criterion of the past only, fromi which they derive no confidence in governmemital Justice and probity; with an experience ol feudal district control, practically inaccessible to regulation by the central orgatclza Wonand where ithe complained of friars have provided all assistance for the satisfaction of cupidity and avarice, small wonder that their suspicious cun- ming should exact a sealed contract on terms, and which they desire to be speciously worded for the ever ready money consideration; and with it all the best of reason why ic will 'take gen erations to instill anv ideas of 'personal honor and business integrity. A policy, then, will have to be made from accurate knowledge of 'tihe people themselves and be formulated on a system of "change without notice," ac cording to developments. The peace commission 'has it all In hand and from their voluminous memoranda will be able, by the time ithey take 'hold in September, to set a fair start towards the restorattiorv of confidence. Prominent men in the army out here advocate, as a first step, the erad- icationv complete, of the memory and methods of Spain by the sole use of English and Tagalo. The Tagalo vocabulary is meagre and has been enriched by many Spanish words for ordinary use which' will for a timer' Jhave a bold; but tfcat the Spanish language is generally spoken in the is lands is a very mistaken idea; but a small percentage of them know more of it than ai Chinese laumdryman does of Englisih.
