In transmitting the Taft report to congress the president has acted on the judgment of the cabinet, which considered the subject yesterday. It had been Intended to publish the report in sections that the country might be informed of the improved conditions in the Philippines and especially since the election. The defeat of Bryan has, it is believed, taken away from the insurgents almost their last ground for the continuation of hostilities. It ia the wish of the president that the Spooner bill shall be parsed at once, that the military power in the Philippines may be made subject to the civil authority. This is not only for the better government of the archipelago, but to encourage the natives with an exhibition of the peaceful intentions of the United States government. The president in transmitting the Taft commission report said. "I earnestly recommend Immediate legislation." 1 Tim Tim TJila Sniloa. Vrtni IpsoMr Bill.
