SHAFTER INTERVIEWED.
The General Regards the Insurrection in the Philippines as Broken, but a Garrison Must Always Be Kept There.
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 19.—Gen. William R. Shafter was at Fort Porter yesterday while returning to San Francisco. Interviewed on the Philippine situation he said: "I regard the insurrection as broken. So far as the Tagalos are concerned the insurrection is practically ended. As to what may occur among the other tribes—people over there I cannot say."
"How long will a garrison be necessary in the Philippines?" was asked.
"Forever," he replied, "and by forever I mean during your lifetime and mine. Troops must be there for years to come. We have garrisons in this country and certainly garrisons will be needed there."
