SaUabaiiKa rar mm. m I I FACTS ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES. era HE Philippines are essentially heterogenous. Some of tbe islanda are mountainous, and others are flat; soine are muddy, ayampy, and feverish, others are porous limestone, well-drained and healthy; some -are en tirely wooded, some are entirely bars. The Inhabitants present like diverg ences. Tbe Morns or tbe aouw are war like, active. Intelligent, with a civiliza tion as advanced as Turkey's. Tbe Negritos are a diseased and dying pig my tribe, absolutely animal to their ex istence, less advanced than any known people. The term "Filipino' embraces Manila rabble and secluded Islanders, mountaineers and seamen, priests and the cannibals. It Is necessary, there fore, to use only the broadest terms in describing the group collectively. Tbe archipelago is a group of 1,200 Islands situated In tbe Pacific Ocean, extending from latitude 21 degrees north to 4 degrees 43 minutes north. Its length Is thus about 1.000 miles; Its greatest width la 640 miles; the total land area, aproxlmately, 113,000 square nilles. The nearest mainland Is Asia, 300 miles to the northeast Ban Fran cisco la 8,000 miles to the west. The archipelago lies wholly within the Una of Capricorn and the equator. Its characteristics, food products, and peo ple are tropical. The climate Is hot and moist; regu lar observations have been taken only at Manila, where the temperature baa been found to vary betwtfn 00 and 100 degrees. The excessive humidity makes this degree more difficult to en dure than In the temperate tone. As on progresses toward tba swampy, low-lying Islands farther south the heat, and especially the humidity, in creases greatly. There are two seasons, the wet and dry the former lasting from June to November being the most disagree able and dangerous to health. Fever and dysentery are the diseases most dreaded by foreigners, bnt dangerous localities are known and may be avoided. Tbe Philippines are the seat of na ture's passions. Earthquakes are com mon snd violent; the volcanoes are the most dangerous In tbe world. Luzon Is the cradle of that terrible sea storm, the typhoon. . Islands' Ex tarsal HUtorr. On Aug. 10, 1319, there started from Bpaln with a fleet of five ships Fer nando Magellan, a Portuguese navi gator. His object waa to discover a passage from Europe, west to the Pa cific. Magellan had vainly endeav ored to Interest the King of Portugal in nia project; bad become a naturalized Spaniard, and bad obtained from Charles I, of Spain tbe wherewithal to equip his fleet He reached the western coast of South America In December and turned south. As the season became harsher and the weather colder the ships' commanders mutined, desiring to winter on shore. One was executed, another marooned. However, one ship did desert and another was wrecked. With three ships the great explorer con tinued south, snd on Oct 28, 1520, passed tnrough the Straits of Magel lan to the waters of the Pacific. He now shaped his course west by north. and in midsummer, 1321, reached Min danao, of which he took possession In the name of the King of Spain. He next landed at Cebu, In August 152L and was welcomed by the king of the island. Tbls monarch was baptized and took the oath of allegiance to Spain. Shortly after Magellan be came Involved In a factional quarrel between two native chieftains and was killed. Many members of tbe expedi tion bad died, but the remainder, with two ships, again sailed west and dls- covered Palawan. Later one of the two was- lost, dui me otner piucklly continued Its way and made the first complete Journey around the world. In 15C5, nnder the direction of Phllln IL, the second Spanish expedition reached the Islands. The object was the saving of native souls; Inquisition metnods were employed, and conver sions, though not valuable, were nu merous. In 1571 Manila was seized and proclaimed the capital of the Islands, to be called henceforth the Islas Filipinos, In honor of King Philip. Tbe Chinese Emperor resented the Intrusion Into celestial domains. Be tween 1573 and 1575 he sent forth ten expeditions to oust, the Spaniards. Severe battles followed, but the Euro peans managed to keep their foothold. They never, however, forgave the Chi nese these attempts. At various times fits of resentment against Chinese blood would sweep over the Spaniards and crusades were organized In order to kill or drive then) out In 1003 23.- 000 were murdered, and In 1039 35,000. In 1762 England took Manila from Spain, but peace was soon proclaimed. and the islands were returned. Tbe natives have been apt to revolt at any time. When they did so Spain used Are and sword liberally, not only to subdue, but to punish after surren der. Beaoarce of the Islands, The resources of tbe Islands are varied. Bice was introduced from China centuries ago. It has since be come the staple food of tbe natives on account of tbe ease with whlt-b It Is produced. The quality Is excellent At present all the rice produced Is con sumed In the Islands, but much good land Is not cultivated. Sugar cane is grown extensively throughout the archipelago. Of late years beet sugar bas cut into the profits of this business, but with tbe removal of the various Spanish export taxes, with tbe supersedence of buffalo power by steam, and witb the opening up of tbe back country by railroads, or at least highroads, the Philippine planta tions will reduce tbe present Have meyer prices. Abaca, or bemp, Is grown widely. Tbe gathering of abaca Is an operation necessitating considerable care and conscientiousness. - The natives pos- cess neither of these qualifications, and, employing primitive methods, ruin tbe Oner fiber of tbe plant Observers say that machinery capable of preserv ing these delicate fibers Is feasible. In that ease abaca could be used for gar ments, napkins, sheets, and even hand kerchiefs. At present the hemp Is used chiefly for sails, doormats, and JSil .1 ' .,msi i " mmmmmammm i - , as . - j C " c A " I V- 4? Jf. X X X X 4 . v . J-m0"r "' . ,A rope. The Philippines will probably retain a practical monoply of this crop; Its cultivation has been attempt ed in many other places, but never suc cessfully except in the extreme north ern part of Borneo. Native tobacco bas always been In digenous to Luzon, but the quality Is strong and bitter. Early In the seven teenth century missionaries Introduced the Mexican plant with great success. Tobacco plantations multiplied; the business became more and more pros perous until In 1781 it wss made a state monopoly. Laws were enacted that all sales Should be to the government planter might not smoke a cigar of bis own make under penalty of S7 fine. Tbe government was not always prompt to pay for goods received; na tives refused to cultivate their land and fled to the mountains; soldiers fol lowed and killed whom they found; at night the natives returned again and fired the crops In the Held. In this way Mlndoro'a once flourishing business has been annihilated. Spain now took an other step; not only must all tobacco raised be sold to the state buyers (on credit), but every family should own and care for at least 4,000 tobacco plants. Tho sbuses resulting from tbls last statute became so horrible that even Spanish officials protested to the borne government; the Caatlllan statesmen, realizing the sponge waa squeezed dry, repealed the monopoly laws in 1882. Even under such aus pices the tobacco remained excellent Since the business baa been open It has Increased tremendously. Manila num bers scores of factories native, Chi nese, and Spanish; several of them have over S00 operatives. Coffee Is grown to a considerable ex- tent; the quality is unusually good. Little, however, finds Its way out of the archipelago. Tbe cocoa plant was Introduced from Central America early In the seventeenth century. Philippine chocolate Is always spoken of well by returned travelers. Various minerals are found tn paying quantities. Especially is this true of Luzon and Mindanao. Gold and sul phur will prove of Talus to prospec tors; silver, mercury, copper and tin bave furnished returns, but the extent of tbe deposits la a matter of Investiga tion. On many islands tbe ax has never been raised against the Immense virgin forests; In few bave Its depredations been extensive. Over a hundred differ ent varieties of wood bave been classi fied. Among them we And teak; naga. resembling mahogany; tlpolo, for mu sical instruments; lanltan, for guitars and violins; boxwood, ebony and bam boo. The Inhabitant. The Inhabitants of these islands are a strangely mixed lot Malay charac teristics generally prevail throughout The many attempts to classify the peo ples Into various district tribes snd races bave failed, for the reason that pure blood of any sort Is rare. It is safest to divide tbe native Fili pinos into Christianized Malays, pagan Malays, and Mohammedan Malays. Tbe first named comprise Ave and a half millions of the total population of eight millions. They resemble our ne groes In msny ways. Tbey are music lovers, fond of tbe sunshine, supersti tious. Though usually good-natured, tbey are subject to fits of murderous passion. Nature In tbe tropics It so Industrious that man need not assist her to any great extent In order to live comfortably. Tbe Filipino will not work as long aa be is not about to starve. When be bas mads enough to live on for a month or two tbe ex-laborer re tires to bis thatched hnt, smokes bis cigarettes, fights bis gamecock, strums bis guitar, and sings love tongs to bit wife or sweetheart i COMPREHENSIVE MAP OF THE PHILIPPINE The natives of the northern islands are called Tagalos. Tbey are the small est and least brave, but also most treacherous and tricky of the Filipinos, and always bave been reckoned as the poorest fighters; bave always been most completely under Spain's domina tion, and bave suffered most accord ingly. The central group of Islands Is term ed tbe Vlsaya group. Tbe Inhabitants- called Vlsayos are somewhat larger, stronger, more Independent than tbe Tagalos. Tbe difference, however. Is far lesa marked than between our dif ferent Indian tribes. Travelers, In or der to strengthen tbe force of thel distinctions and comparlosns, are apt to push them a little far. Tbe sharply drawn distinction between the Taga los and the Vlsayosa is not Justified. The Moros or Mohammedan Malays aggregate less than a million. Tbey Inhabit the Sulu group at tbe south of the archipelago, parts of Mindanao, and tbe southern third of Palawan, One Sultan, whose residence Is Sulu, Is acknowledged throughout these Isl ands. The Moros are a fierce, fanatl cal, searanog race, wbo were never conquered by Spain. It Is unsafe for a white man to venture among tbem. To kill Christians is part of their re ligious belief. Tbe aborigines of tbe Islands are tba Negritos, a puny, miserable, dwarf race. Aa tbe Malays swept up through tbe arcnipeiago mo rsegritos were driven Into tbe most remote and uncov eted parts. Though not of true negro stock, they are much blacker than the Malaya, and their Intellgence Is far Iawer. Tbe total number Is estimated at 30,000. Island of Lnzoa. Luzon It the largest, most populous. most developed, and most civilized of the Philippines. It has an area of 42, 000 square miles, or over one-third the whole area of tbe archipelago, about five-eighths of the whole population. tbe only railroad, and the only factor ies. It Is tbe teat of tbe capital, and It contain! fifty tlmea as many foreign ers at all tbe rett of the Islands put to gether. Luzon It supposed to support 6,000,000 inhabitants. Of these, 80 per cent are civilized to a certain extent, In development Luzon, though the most advanced of tbe Philippines, la disgracefully backward. There Is one little, badly managed railroad, 120 miles In length. Tbe highroads, twen ty miles Inland, are either lacking alto gether or are merely trails. There are no flat-bottomed steamers on tbe larger rivers, though tbey could do a thriving business. The sugar mills are operated by buffalo power. In consequence, par tially exhausted sugar land near Man ila, or other ports, brings over $100 an acre, while further back In the coun try land a third more fertile brlngt $30. Manila sprawls over a good deal of ground, being built up on both sldel of tbe River Paslg, and including rice fields and other submarine territory. Its population It about 300,000, which is small considering Its area, but large considering Its opportunities. Of this number two-tblrds are natives, 30,000 Cblnete, 30,000 Chlneee half-breeds, 15,000 Spanish half-breeds, and 3,000 Spanish. Previous to the war tbe Americans and English together num bered 400. Contrary to general belief. the city Is neither pretty nor uuhealthy. Earthquakes cause bouses to be con structed broad and squat, with tin roofs. Tbls prevents beauty, and it must be said In tbe Spaniards' favor that It Is excellently well drained. which pervents 111 health. In 1803 elec tric light was substituted for oil, and In the same year an American fire en gine was brought over. Fires are common, and a blaze started in a na tive shack tpreadt fast Manila's cole ISLANDS. Interest lies In its commerce. It Is the tollgate of the Philippines. Tfca Smaller UUnde. Of the 1.200 Islands which constitute tbe Philippine archipelago the number Inhabited Is between 33 and DO per cent The smaller Islands resemble tn physi cal characteristics and inhabitants the larger Islands to which they are near est. Occasionally an entire Island be longs to a single planter, and usually in sucn case it is a land of milk and boney for the natives. The padrone Is of necessity kindly, else be would moil Infallibly disappear. There Is plenty to eat, and not too much to do. Tho padrone's lot Is easy, too. He mcrvlv bas to sit on bis own veranda and al low the Philippine soli to make him rich. TRUCK HANDLE FOR BARRELS. Toacllk Device for I Iftlna and Car- rrina; Bulky Packaejaa, A barrel Is an exceedingly awkward thing to handle, and In establishment where they are moved In large nuinberi quite a considerable amount of time Is lost In placing them on tbe hand trucks on which they are conveyed and In re moving them therefrom. In order to facilitate tbls loading and unloading a unique truck has been Invented by Theodore T. Dickerson. of Trimble, Ala. It consists of tbe combination with tbe axle of curved gripping Jaws, more like a great pair of plumber's pinchers than anything else. The levers operating the Jaws form the bandies of the truck. In practice the truck is run up to the barrels and the Jaws clamped around the bottom, and Lixa a sio pais or tokos. then raised, the whole procedure con suming but a few seconds. Tbe two lever arms are held firmly together by a linking clasp, with a spring-pressed ratchet, which Is easily released for unshipping tbe barrel A Distant Brother. A Boston woman bad a servant named Norah, a rosy-cheeked girl, who received frequent calls from a young man, of whim she often spoke as "me brother." The consternation of lir mistress may be guessed when one day Koran announced tbat she waa soon to marry tbe stalwart "Tim." What do you mean, Norahr de manded tbe lady, feeling that a poor trick una been played upon her. You've always spoken of Tim as your brother to me." Yls, ma'am," mid tbs blushing Norah. "I alwayt thought of him so. ma'am, whiles he wat making up hit mind; but he's been so bowld as to re mind me, ma'am, that he's only me brother-ln-law't brother, afther all!" Youtb't Companion.
