Manila, May 4.
The back of the revolt in the Philippines appears to have been broken with the arrest of several of the leaders of the insurgents. Other chiefs of the rebels have gone into hiding.
Despatches from Washington state that the up- rising caused little surprise in official circles in America. Predictions were freely made some time ago by those familiar with the situation that such trouble might be expected.
Commissioner Guevara said these troubles "may" even jeopardise the life of the commonwealth in the event that they should be taken by the world as a hint of what will happen once independence in the Philip pines is an accomplished fact."
