Manila, Jnne 8. No more Ameri
can teer aaloona are nodcd in Manila
fbat is tbe flrnt observation I am
moved to make in connection with tbe
subject of bnslniwn openings in this
town. A swarm of American saloon
keopers came over with tlie Mayflower,
ao to apeak, to tbo Philippines, and
tbe; buve been arriving ever aince
Beer and wbiaky siiopn, American style,
are as plentiful bere as in Hew York
or 8a n Francisco
If laKineea be tbe Ideal state, then
the old style Manila merchant led a
safflciently pleasant oilstence. In tfais
hot climute it is best to be abroad early
In tbe morning. Shops snd stores open
by 7 o'clock. That was too early for
the old time Spanish merchant, how
ever, so be left tbe morning work to
his - menials and subordinates. He
reached his place of business at S or
kalf past. " By half paat 10 began wbat
is here called "cocktail time." Then
tbe merchant lets np on bis arduona
labors of tbe morning. Tbe beat of tbe
day begins to be felt by that time. I do
aot know bow many cocktails are ac
tually drank, but something must have
started tbe name. At 13 the custom
as Been to close business bouese abac- I capitalist at present When we occu
lotery until 9. Whether this will coo- J njei, tbe city. the. civil courts were
feu-. -., w
SUSPENSION BRIDGE IN MANILA.
Itnue wben Americans get bold ra
maina to be seen.
The old time Manila merchant bud
for his motto, "Never do anything that
you can make anybody else do." If he
so much as desired to wash an ink stain
from bis finger, he would probably have
clapped bis bands like an "Arabian
Nights" pa aha and had a base menial
bring him the basin of water and towel.
At S o'clock his carriage called for him
and he, with his Interesting, family,
went to drive and listen to the mur,io
on the Luneta. Picturesque enough be
looked in his shining white suits of
which at least a dosen were, necessa .
a fresh one every day. His very shoo
were white, of cool canvas, carefully
done over with pipeclay daily to pre
serve their immaculate appearance
The; pipeclaying of his master's vari
ous pairs of white shoes is part of the
morning work of the Tagalo bouse serv
ant ' ' v , :
. Everything new and convenient and
American is wanted here, from prompt
and correct business methods to door
locks that will fasten and neat little
keys that will St them. ' When, sooner
or later, matters are settled here, there
will be as fine opportunities for Ameri
can merchants and the Investment of
cspital as at any spot of tbe globe.
Between, on the one band, the onerous
duties, which remain precieely as tbey
were under Spanish .rule, and, on' the
other, the competition' of the United
States commissary department the civil
ian merchant just how has small margin
of profit The Spanish tariff is higher
than that of the United States ever
, .) . , ,,
was amounting frequently to three or
four times tbe cost of tbe goods. It is
enforced still. The duties are collected
by American soldiers' for our -government;
Commissary goods for tbe Unit
ed States 1 army are admitted free of
dnty, to be bought by soldiers. But it
is natural for . a man to oblige his
sutea aw., ,JZ 7. S.

public goods at lowest San Francisco
prices. , You can follow the. result, opt
for yourself, and you do not need paper
and pencil to work the problem either.
Honest retail merchants bars absolute-
ly ceaaed to Import certain lines at ar
ticles under tbeae conditions Tbus not
only the 'merchants ootside tbe ring,
but also tbe government suffers many
tbouasnd dollars loss snnnally. This is
a matter the government should attend
to at once and either abolish altogether
duties on goods coining from the States
or straighten out its commissary de
partment here.
'Heavy losses,' too. ' are' entailed on
American merchants in Manila' by tbe
actual and xmstant, theft of goods tbsy
Import from the States. I know one
dealer who has, in plain words, bees in
tbe oast four months robbed of wares
worth 110,000. They were shipped and
Invoiced st 8sn Francisco. In some in
stances ': whole pscksges disappeared
bodily; In others packages were broken
open and part of the contents taken
and then fuatened np again. '"
. Whether tbe robberies are committed
on shipboard, whether by the Chinese
freight handlers at Hongkong or In tbe
custom bouses here at Manila, nobody
knows , Tbe things simply disappear,
tbe military authorities here do not
hold themselves responsible for goods
stored In the diatoms warehouses or
"go dow on. " us storage rooms are called
in the orient. The. heaviest losses are
en eatables and drinkables. 1
Commissary merchandising and the
loos of goods in tranait from tbe States
to Manila are rapidly assuming tbe
proportions of a scandal. ' Whether any
stealing ocenrs in tbe custom house or
not,' that inetitntion geta tbe credit of
it, and for its own sake the United
States government ought to bare
grand clearing np time in these depart
ments without saying a word- about
it, and this even more for the sake of
the Innocent than of the guilty, if there
are any of tbe latter. '
Another condition works as a hard
ship against the business man and tbe
abolished, "fney Tfave never been ae
established. So far as civil law goes,
Manila ib in a state of anarchy. There
Is no way of collecting a bill by legal
measures and no way of enforcing a
contract Sufferers who appeal to tbe
military authorities are told to wait
till the conrta are set up again. Tbey
have waited for months and are wait
ing still. Able American lawyers who
understand tbe Spanish - language are
also here- waiting for tbe civil courts
to reopen, but the order for it is not
given. Tbe insurrection must be put
down before military attention can be
turned to civil matters, probably . Nev
erthelesa it is irksome in the extreme
to ' the civilian who wants to go to
work. : '-' :, .

the reward or industry and ability.
Their judgment is not at fault either.

A curious legend Is attached to a
atranpe monument which stands in m
solitary spot near Bantry. Ireland. It
is a natural rock standing upward ot
six feet in height, and containing fivw
baain-like boliows on its surface., 1st
each basin'ls a long, oval stone.
. It is Haid that "once upon a time" at
woman lived in that neighborhood
who was in the habit of robbing the
farmers throughout the district, fat
the dead of night she used to enter
their barns, milk their cows and trans
fer from eac-h dairy as much butter as)
she could carry. 1 ' '
The good Saint Frachna, conscious of
her depredations resolved, to puniahi
the woman. Itc mounted his horse)
and pursued her as she was leaviiia
one of the farms. .Overtaking .the cul
prit he changed her into stone, and boa
stands there to this day, a monument
of: righteous retribution.. The atoue)
basins are those in . which-she was)
carrying the milk, and the pieces of
rock in each are said to be the butter
she had stolen. ' The tree beside . tho
rock grew out of the spansel with
which she was accustomed to tie the)
cows' legs before milking them. This
curious legend is known and believodl
by all the peasant in the district.', .-
