Unrest and Terror in Panay
REPORTS from the Philippines state that the island of Panay is still overrun with armed natives, who murder and pillage the peaceful inhabitants at will. A measurable degree of peace is maintained in the villages which the Americans have garrisoned; but there are not troops enough to garrison all the towns, and scattered bands keep the inhabitants in continual terror. General Otis has advised the government that the Philippines are no place for American women, not even for the wives of officers, and advises that no more be allowed to come.
