Major Wise reports on the insurrection and unrest currently happening on Leyte. The insurrection and unrest are growing, and the local government is doing little to stop it. The United States government is unpopular there, and the writer reports that the Leyte locals are uninterested in their system of government. Most of the people are “practically peons of the powerful or wealthy class,” making them easily swayed to join insurrections. The “native press” is also a drawback for the United States. The writer believes that they are given too much freedom to criticize the United States and their system of government consistently misappropriates the situation, which misleads locals.
