There is no question but that the work of the Panay and Luzon agents on these lines, aided as it was by some encouragement from the United States, did grave harm, exciting as it did vigorous suspicions of our good faith among the laboring classes, causing the uneducated to bite their thumbs at us and producing a decided neutrality among many of the property holders and responsibles. The direct result was the desertion of the provisional government's police (not ours) in the pueblo of Silay during the month of May and the rising at Tanjay on the east coast in the same month. The trouble at Tanjay was adjusted by Lieutenant-Colonel Duboce, of the California volunteers, without bloodshed, and ever since that time the Oriental Province has remained entirely tranquil and pacific, if an unsuccessful raid by Tulisanes on the pueblo of Siaton be excepted.
