A New Move Has Been Plann
ed by the Navy and War
Departments.
GEN, FUNSTON'S OPINION
All Supplies to be Cut Otl Front the
Filipinos and a Virtual Block
ade Established.
Proposed Plan Likely to Cause Con
siderable Sillieriny Among the Na
tives Recognized that Most Severe
Measures Must be Itesorted to tc
Knd Philippines Trouble.
Washington, Sopt. s.—The War De
partment IS |>l'C|l.l.l|lg' 1.1 .1 V 1 "liaslK
measures to stop supplies and muni
tions of war from reaching the Fill
pinos.
•The Department has determined it
to be necessary to cut off supplies frou;
the natives, and a plan for a virtual
blockade lias been agreed upon be
tween the Navy and War Departments,
which, it is believed, will be approved
by tho President immediately on his
return to Washington.
Tills plan will undoubtedly involve
suffering upon tho country, but it is
felt that war can not s bo prosecuted
with exemption from its penalties and
that the more drastic measures which
promise to terminate the war speedily
will bo more merciful in the end than
the indefinite protraction of hostilities.
It is recognized that if the struggle
is not to be prolonged indefinitely, the
war must now be prosecuted with
vigor and severity. Steps are being
taken to prosecute the war with the
utmost energy and to lay aside all sou
tiinental consideration until peace has
been established. This marks a radical
change of pojjcy, and tliore is every
hope in the Department that the rebel
lion will be crushed out with an iron
hand very speedily.
It is impossible to terminate the war
by any method which does not involve
suffering upon the people of the Philip
pines.
The regard for non-combatants lias
rendered it difficult to prevent supplies
and munitions of war from reaching
the enemy, it being practically impos
sible to allow the entry of articles of
commerce for the use of peaceable na
tives. without beuetit to the Filipinos.
Now these supplies are probably to
be cut off.
Must Whip Filipinos.
.Manila, Sept s.—Gen. Frederick
Funston and Mrs. Fitnston are with
the General's regiment, the Twentieth
Kansas.
Gen. Funston lias undergone an op
position necessitated by an injury re
sulting from a fall from his horse while
serving in the Cuban Army wifli Gen.
Gomez.
11l an interview, (Jen. Funston re
marked thot lie would not mind stay
ing iu Lzuon. He dislikes war. but in
asmueh as there is fighting, lie would
like to remain and aid in britigiug it to
a close. Speaking of the future, he
said:
"The only solution of the problem
will lie through whipping the Filipinos.
1 do not think they will surrender.
When we begin active operations
against fhem on a large scale in the
autumn we will scatter liioui into small
bands, and I think when the soldiers
composing these bands see that they
are persistently pursued they will
throw away or hide their arms and re
turn to the pursuits of peace.
"A year hence, small bodies of armed
men will be able togo anywhere in
Luzon. The island was always infest
ed with bandits and was never safe
for Kiiropeans to travel it. Probably
after the cud of the lighting, the high
waymen will lie more numerous, be
cause the meiubt rs of Aguimildo's
army, who have lived for years with
guns iu their hands, have acquired a
taste for bush life anil would either
continue as highwaymen than return
to work.
"Cavalry is greatly needed here, 'l'he
country, when dry. is superb for cav
alry operations. The natives have
none. One of their strong points is
their ability to retreat rapidly. Caval
ry could overtake and hopelessly scat
ter and punish them, and could subsist
largely on the country. When cavalry
is once here it should have a chance to
go ahead aud not lie kept in towns for
guard duty.
"Our greatest successes have been
gained when regimental commanders
have been allowed to follow up quick
ly tile advantages gained in battle.
Small bodies of Americans, operating
freely and commanded by officers of
dash and energy, could badly break up
the enemy. The capture of Aguinaldo
by cavalry would be a less difficult
proposition than tin- capture of the
Apache chiefs iu Arizona."

THE NORTH AMERICAN

IT'S DIFFKRKXT, because It prints
all the news, and all the ne,ws It prints
is true.

--higher ideals, larger
hopes and better living. where
IT'S DIFFKRKXT. It will continue to
be different. Watch The North Ameri
can and see it grow.
