Civil Law Soon in Philippines
Washington reports Chairman Cooper of the House committee on insular affairs announcing steps to put the Philippine government in operation. The transfer of authority from military to civil officials will begin with a presidential proclamation expected on the Fourth of July and will likely reduce military presencia to 18 000 men from 70 000 in 1900. The census will be conducted by Filipinos over about a year, aiming to further diminish the military role and fade the Philippine question as Taft predicted.
