The Chinese government will never
be able to explain why. with its autocratic
discipline, its lavish use of torture
and its ruthless application of the
death penalty, it has been so utterly
unable to handle a lot of Boxers.
The board of health of Woo<lstoek,

"Washington. P. C. (Special!.?An cstensive
military nntl naval programme
has boon mapped out for the Philippine
campaign about to bo inaugurated.
Quiet preparations have boon
making for some time by both the
army and navy officials, 'l'he Filipinos
are to be pursued relentlessly until
tlit! last vestige of ilie insurrection
is wiped out.
Conditions now favor the American I
army, as the rainy season is at an end
and the troops sent to China have
been returned to the Philippines.1
There aro about c.T.ono so'.Hits ami
murines in tlie Philippine*. Kxpcditious
similar to those coudueted
by Ccueral Lawton are to be sent out
through Luzon to make a town -to-j
town sweep. Naval vessels will scour
the coast line, landing troops wherever
a band ol* insurgents is to be
found. Jty the co-upprntiou of the two
branehos. and by systeinatie operatioits,
it is believed in Administration
eireles that the natives eau be subjugated.
If this is not accomplished l>y the time
tIn? volunteers must be started home
Congress will be asked to provide a
physical strength equal to that now
existing. The terms of the volunteers
will expire on June ."10, PJOl. This will
out Cent ral Muc.Vrthur's army down
to a I'OrOe totally inadequate to cope j
with the situation. When the trouble j
in China broke out, and Ccneral .Mae- j
Arthur was called on for troops, lie
declared that he could not spare more j
than two infantry regiments.
The general expectation has been !
that to meet fids emergency the ITcsi- j
dent and the Secretary of War would
ask Congress to Increase the regular
army. The sharp campaign now about
to begin will show whether that is
necessary. If Ceneral Muc.Vrtlmr can
suppress the rebellion before the volunteers
come home, and restore order
in the iirchlpelngo, there will u<<t be
the need for a large increase. If an
army of nearly TO.POi) men prosecuting
the most vigorous campaign canpot
overcome the Filipinos, the Administration
will have a strong ease
when it asks Congress for ati increase
of the army. It will be able to put
the request on the ground of absolute
necessity.
