Island«’ Kxtarnal History.
On Aug. 10, IfiW, there started from
Spain with a fleet of five ships Fer-
naodo Magellan, a Portuguese navi
gator. His object was to discover a
passage ffbm Europe, west to the Pa
cific. Magellan had vainly endeav
ored to interest the King of Portugal In
bls project; had become a naturalized
Spaniard, and had obtained from
Charles I, of Spain tbe Wherewithal to
equip bls fleet
He reached the western coast of
South America In December and
turned south. As the season became
harsher snd the weather colder the
ships’ commander* 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, and on Oct 28, .1520,
passed through the Straits of Magel
lan to the waters of tbe Pacific. He
now shaped bis course west by north,
and ImraldBummer, 1521, reached Min
danao, of which be took possession In
the name of the King of Spain. He
next landed at Cebu, in August 1521,
and was welcomed by the king of the
island. This monarch was baptised
and took the oath of allegiance to
Spain. Shortly after Magellan be
came Involved In a factional quarrel
between ..two native chieftains antTwa*
killed. Many members of the expedi
tion had died, but the remainder, with
two ships, again sailed west and dis
covered Palawan. Later one of tbe
two was lost but the other plucklly
continued its way and made the first
complete journey around the world.
Io 1565, under the direction of Philip
II., tbe second Spanish expedition
reached the islands. The object was
the saving of native souls; inquisition
methods were employed, and conver
sions, though not valuable, were nu
merous. In k 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 bs sent forth ten
expeditions to oust, the Spaniards.
Severe battles followed, but tbe 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 organised in order
to kill or drive them out In 1003 23,-
000 were murdered, and in 1039 85,000.
In 1762 England took Manila from
Spain, but peace was soon proclaimed,
and the Islands were returned.
The natives have been apt to revolt
at any time. When they did so Spain
used fire and sword liberally, not only
to subdue, but to punish after surren
der.

rope. The Philippines will probably
retain * practical monoply of thft
crop; its cultivation has been attempt
ed in many other places, but never suc
cessfully except in tbe extreme north
ern part of Borneo.
Native tobacco has always been In
digenous to Luzon, but tbe quality, is
strong and bitter. Early in tbe seven
teenth century missionaries Introduced
the Mexican plant with great success.
Tobacco plantations multiplied; tbe
business became more and more pros-
peroua until In 1781 it waa made a state
monopoly. Lawi were enacted that all
ealee should be to the government A
planter might not smoke a cigar of hia
own make under penalty of $7 fine.
The government was not alwaya
prompt to pay for good* received; na
tives refused to cultivate their land
and fled to tbe mountains; soldiers fol
lowed and killed whom they found; at
night the natives returned again and
fired the crops in the field. In this way
Mindoro’s once flourishing business has
been annihilated. Spain now took an
other step; not only must all tobacco
raised be cold to the state buyers (on
credit), but every family ebould own
and care for at leant 4,000 tobacco
plants. Tbo abuses resulting from
this last statute became ao horrible
that even Spanlah officials protested
to the home government; tbe Castilian
statesmen, realizing the sponge was
squeezed dry, repealed the monopoly
laws in 1882. Even under such aus
pices the tobacco remained excellent
Since the business has been open It has
Increased tremendously. Manila num
bers scores of factories—native, Chi
nese, and Spanish; several of them
have over 500 operatives.
Coffee la grown to a considerable ex
tent; the quality Is unusually good.
Little, however, finds its way out of
the archipelago. The cocoa plant was
Introduced from Central America early
in tbe seventeenth century. Philippine
chocolate is always spoken of well by
returned travelers.
Various minerals are found tn paying
quantities. Especially la thia true of
Luxon and Mindanao. Gold and sul
phur will prove of value to prospec
tors; sliver, mercury, copper and tin
have furnished returns, but the extent
of the deposits is a matter of investiga
tion.
On many islands ths ax bas never
been raised against the Immense virgin
forests; In few have Ita depredations
been extensive. Over a hundred differ
ent varieties of wood have been classi
fied. Among them we find teak; naga,
resembling mahogany; tipolo, for mu-
Blcal Inatrumenta; lanltan, for guitars
and violins; boxwood, ebony and bam
boo. -
,
^The natives of the northern islands
are called Tagaloe. They are the small
est and least brave, but also most
treacherous and tricky of the Filipinos;-
and always have been reckoned as tbe
poorest fighters; have always been
most completely under Spain’s domina
tion. and have suffered most accord
ingly.
Tbe central group of Islands Is term
ed the Vlsaya group. The Inhabitants—
called Vlsayos—are somewhat larger,
stronger, more Independent than tbe
Tagalos. Tbe difference, however, la
far less marked than between our dif
ferent Indian tribea. Travelers, In or
der to Btrengthen tbe force of their
distinctions and comparloans, are apt
to'push them a little far. The aharply
drawn distinction between tbe Taga
los and the Vlsayosa It not Justified.
The Moros or Mohammedan Malays
aggregate less than a million. They
inhabit the Sulu group at the eouth of
the archipelago, parte of Mindanao,
and the southern third of Palawan.
One Sultan, whose residence Is Sulu, is
acknowledged throughout these Isl
ands. The Moros are a fierce, fanati
cal, eeafaring race, who were never
conquered by Spain. It la unsafe for
a white man to venture among them.
To kill Christians is part of their re-
llgloua belief.
The aboriginee of tbe laiande are the
Negrltoe, a puny, miaerable, dwarf
race. As the Malays swept up through
the archipelago tbe Negritos were
driven into the most remote and uncov
eted parts. Though not of true negro
stock, they are much blacker than the
Malaya, and their intellgence la far
lower. Tbe total number la estimated
at SO,000.
Interest lies in its commerce. It Is the
tollgate of the Philippines.
