General Chaffee, military governor of the Philippines, reports to General Henry Clark Corbin, adjutant general of the U.S. Army, regarding military movements ordered by Corbin. A number of troops are being sent home, leaving a little less than 20,000 in the Philippines. Of those who remain, as many as possible will be quartered near Manila, and a prison is being established on Maligi Island. Chaffee expects to receive the proceedings of the Gardener Board (called to investigate allegations of atrocities committed by American troops in the Philippines), and will forward them as soon as possible.
