Washfngton, Jan. 21.—Having failed,
after two years' striie, in subduing the
Insurrection in Batangas province,
which lies south of Manila, and having
satisfied himself that lenient treatment
9t the insurgents is productive of no
C 'good results. Gen. J. Franklin Bell,
military commanaer in that province,
has determined on the enforcement of
war in the most vigorous and deter-
mined fashion, involving reconcentra*
lion in modified form, application of
martial law in all directions and un-
sparing pursuit and punishment of na-
tives who act as spies and trsitors
to the United States.
The reconcentration order is dated
at Batangas. Dec. 8 last. It provides
for the establishment of zones around
garrisons into which friendly inhabi-
tants are to be required to come under
the penalty of confiscation and des
traction of their property. This is
said to be necessary to prevent the col
lectio# of forced contributions from in-
habitants by insurgents. Military of-
ficers are allowed to fix the price ol
the necessaries of life, and it is prom
ised that people may return as soon
as peaceful conditions are established.
This order is followed by a long cir
cular by General I-ell to his station
commanders. It begins with the state
ment that he shares in the general con
viction that insurrection continued be
cause the greater part of the people
especially wealthier ones, do not really
want peace, but the greatest good tc
the greatest number, he says, can b€
brought about by putting a prompt end
to the insurrection. Therefore, he di
rects the application of the general
order No. 100 in force during the civil
war in the United States, which prac
tically regards an insurgent as guerril
la and outside the pale of civilized
warfare, and subject to death penalty
wherever such insurgent does not en
gage continuously in war and observe
all rules of war. It is provided that
there shall be no executions without
the approval of superior officers.
It is pointed out there is no just
cause for exceptional caution or ap
prehension in attacking insurgent bod
ies wherever found, as excessive cau-
tion will do the army incalculable
harm. The best defense against insur
gents, he says, is to assume vigorous
offensive: to retire in presence of the
enemy is hazardous and discouraging
Special injunction is laid on com
manders to hunt down througn loyal
spies secret sympathizers with and con
tributors to the rebellion, many of
whom could be found among the mu
nlcioal officers.
