In Report Held Back by Secretary of War, Tayabas Executive Asserts That Friendly Natives Are Alien ated by Insults Property De stroyed Irrespective of Sentiment of Owners Work of Civil Author ities Undone. Byr.TcluiIve Wire from llievAsoclstctl Prcs. Washington, April 10. When the scn atp committee on the Philippines met today, Senator Lodge, cluilrnmn of the committee, laid before the committee the report of Major Cornelius Gardener, civil governor of the Philippine prov ince of Tayahas, to which reference wis made by Geiipral Miles in his cor respondence with Secretary Koot. That report hud been withheld, causing the adoption of a resolution at the last meeting of the committee requesting the secretary of war to send the report to the committee. In the course of the report, which Is dated Dec. 1G, 1901, the governor says regarding a recent operation: "A vig orous campaign was at once organized against insurgents In arms, with the troops acting under positive orders to shoot no unarmed natives and to burn no houses except barracks. Looting vns prohibited under the strictest pen alties. Company and other command ers were ordered to pay for everything nken for necessity or bought from na jlves." The governor then recommends that die operations against insurgents should bo by a fdrco of natives. In another recommendation ho says: 1. dill nrnprnnr. I frol it mv duly to say lliat it is my firm conviction thit the United Slates troop hliould .it the earliest opportunity lie concentrated in one or two piiTlons, if it is lliouglit desirable that tlie good sentiment and loyalty that formerly existed to the United States poicrnment among the people of this produce should be conscncil and cncouiaged. Ileinff in close touch wtili the people, having vif-lted nil the pueblos one or more times, haling lived vlth them in their homes I know that audi a sentiment cneo cxMcil. Of late, by rea son of the troops jnicli a the extensile hum ing of the barrios in trjinj to lay waste the country so th.it the instil Rent', cannot occupy it, the torturing of natiscs by so-ialled water ctira nnd other method in order to obtain informa tion, the hai-i.li treatment of naties generally and the failure of inexperienced, lately appointed lieu tenants commanding pets to dMInguish between tiiw-e who are friendly and those unfriendly, and to treat every native a if he were, whether or no, an inain recto at heart this favorable senli nint nliovc refencd to is bcinsj fast destroyed and a deep hatred toward us engendered. If those thing need be done they li.ul bct be done by native hoops, so that the people of the United Mates will not bo civditcil tbuewilli. Almost without eweplion, toldier-5 and abo many officers refer to native in their prej-ence a "niggers," and mtives arc beginning to undeiatand what the word "nigger" mean. The course now- being puiuid ill this province nnd in the province of Balanga. I.aguna and Saniar li, in my opbiion, towing the seeds for a peipctual lovolution agiiiwt us hereafter when oer a good opportunity offer. Under present conditions the political situation in this piovince is (.lowly rctiograding, and the Aimilran centi ment i decreasing and wo arc daily making per manent enemies. In the courc above referred to hoops make no distinction olten between the properly of those natives who are insurgent or instugent sympa tlii.crs and the property of thooe who heictofore have risked their lic by being loyal to the United States and giving us information against their countiymen in arnia. Often every house in a b.iriio is burned. In my opinion, the small number of inccon cilablc insurgents still in amis, although ad mittedly difficult to catch, doe not justify the means employed, and especially when taking into consideration the suffering that must be under gone by the innocent and its effect upon the lelations witli these people hcieafter, Tho work of the Philippine commission and the laws that Imo been enacted by it me ev erywhere favorably commented upon by tho na tives. The elToils being made for tho general education of the people arc appiceiatcd by all. Tho proiincial government and the munlclpil gov-,, rinnients established are slowly bringing order out of chaos nnd unaicliy, and there begins to bo Wsihle ccrywhcre in this province piogre and piosperity. Tine lo.valty and contentment can only come under a benign civil government. Tho attitude of the aimy, thereby meaning most of its officers and soldieis, is, however, decidedly hostile to the provincial and municipal govern ments in this juoviuco and to civil government in these islands in geuei.il. In Manila espe cially it is intensely to, even among flic higher officers. Tho work of the commission in the yfit'iblishmcnt of provincial government is lid! culed even in the presence of the natives. It i openly stated that the army should lemaiu in charge for the next twenty yearn. Outrages com mitted by officers nnd soldiers against native in an organized municipality and province, when lepoitcd by the piesidente or governor to the military authorities, arc often not punished. This, In my opinion, is unfoi lunate, because loyal ra tives begin to fear that local self-goveinmont piomised them will not last long, and that any blight disturbance in the a province may at any time be made the pretext to again place it un der mllltaiy rule, and this is just the thing the insurgent at heart most dcslie. It has been stated that a 1'illpino or an orien tal does not appreciate just or kindly tieati'ncnt, and that he considers it an evidence of weak ncsj, and that severe nnd liaish measures are the only ones that arcpeinianently effective witli Till pinos, I have found that just nnd kind treat ment, uniform and continued, is the only waj by which these people can be permanently our h lends) and satisfied with United States soy eielgnty. Having been stationed six years on the Itlo Grande, I am well acquainted with the natives of the safe ot Tamauiipas, Mexico, and while stationed in tho piovince of Santa Clara, Culm, I visited every town in that province, and wa able to observe the intelligence and education there, I believe that tho people of Tahayos piovince arc in every way superior in education, inltlllgenee, morals and civilization to the people Of Tuinaullpa or Sant.i Claru, A nn officer of tho army, I regict that li-y duty us civil governor vt till province impels me to statu the attitude of the majority of my fellovvofllceis toward clll government In these islands and its effect upon the people, but 1 feel that the Interests of tho government Involved and tho (uluic of these people, for whoso welfare we are icsponsible, are ot such last impoilauco that I ought In report things a. I tea and know them, in order that my civil snpeilors may be able Intelligently to order what the situation de mands. With (ho report is a copy of a letter by Central Corbln to General Chaffee, dated J'1, 19, saying ho encloses the report of Major Gardener and that there should, bo a complete Investiga tion. There also is a cablo message dated' April 2, In which General Chuff eo Is directed to make the investigation with all speed consistent with a thor ough investigation. General MuuArthur was again the witness before the committee today and lie began his statement With reference to tho burning of villages by the native forces In IS'J'J. llu said that the order for this destruction had been Issued by General Luna and that ho found that this wus due to tho fact that Luna had. been a student of Napoleon's cam paigns, nnd had conceived the idea that ho could compel the American forces to retreat as tho Hussions, had forced the French conqueror to retreat in Moscow. In that connection Genera) MacArthur read several orders iBsufJ by himself, directing the conduct of -im troops in the field and enjoining the utmost kindness In tho treatment of captured and wounded members of tho enemy's forces. In one of 'these orders the American forces Wero instructed to kill If possible the enemy found fight ing and with armu in his hand, and In reply to questions General MacArthur said that in war the prime object Is to disable the enemy and to kill him If possible when In battle.

They usked that this government continue the ex isting postal arrangements with tho Isl and and that the present postal officials now in Cuba be kent there until the Cuban appointees have become thor oughly familiar with postal operations.

Postmaster General Payne informed Mr. Palma that the domestic rates of postage and other postal concessions will be granted to Cuba when the time, comes to sign a treaty, provided that Cuba In turn will not grant similar con cessions to any country except those who have similar arrangements with this government. This has specific rei erence to Canada and Mexico. Mr. Payne stated that It was not proposed to put the postal business between the United States nnd Cuba ns within the United States its'elf, for the purpose of helping the new republic and then have the latter in turn give the countries of Europe and elsewhere the same con cessions.
