Turmoil in the Philippines

CAPTAIN SHIELDS and his command of fifty-one men, recently captured on the island of Marinduque, Philippines, have been recaptured by an American relief force. The west coast of the island of Leyte is reported to be in a state of turmoil, and the rebel Ladrones are actively plundering. Serious charges of favoritism and malfeasance in office have been brought against the native Filipino judges, even the judges of the Supreme Court, and the Taft Commission have decided to substitute Americans from the United States in place of the native magistrates. The American Superintendent of Instruction in the Philippines is calling for American teachers, principals, and school superintendents.
