THE SUXDAT OEEGONIAN, POETLAXD, FEBRUARY, 2, 1002.
FILIPINOS ARE PATRIOTIC!
TAFT SAYS THEY HAVE GREAT
LOVE FOR THEIR COUNTRY.
On TIiIk Score nnd Their DcMre for
Eilucntion, He HnneK II In Hope
of American Succex.
"WASHINGTON. Fob. l.-Govcrnor Talt
today continued his fctalcmcnt concerning
conditions in the Philippine archipelago
before the Senate committee on the Phil
ippines. He resumed his account of his
last year's tour of the provinces. He said
that next to Manila. Ccbu came nearer to
being a city in point of population and
manner of improvement that any other
place in the archipelago. The Inland of
Cebu, he said, Is the most densely settled
of the group. It had been a question
"whether a civil government could be es
tablished In Cebu Just before the arrival
of the Commission, the Insurgent, having
fin d into the capital, but people had
insisted and the organization had been
tfftcted.
Spenking generally. Governor Taft said
that there were no roads in the Philippine
lci.inds under the Spanish, but that since
the establishment of American control fl.
OM.OJO had been appropriated for the road
impro ement.s both for strategic and
commercial purposes. Most of the towns
are on the fcencoat, and the greater part
of the travel for any distance is by boat.
lrco.uent freshets render it diflicult to
r-ialntain the reads. In most, if not all,
the islands Governor Taft .-aid. there is a
mountain backbone which is practically
inipassublc.
In his tour Governor Taft had found tho
i.uustris in progros, though much inter
lupttd. large!y on account of the- destruc
tion of tii- water buffalo, the work cattle
of the h-lund. This animal he described
n& 'the bca-t of burdtn. the family filcnd,
tie wealth of the individual, and the ob.
1 ct -f all the roLber bands of the moun
lia district-." In the lart two years
alout 7j per cent of these brutes had
a killed off by a diacast- called rlnder-
"-t. and their price had incratcd from
J to ?H0 per head. He expressed the
iJ'.ioa that mule a-id nul-producing

L-s-unvng the thread of his narrat!.-e.

a-d the island hnd been entirely trantjuil
ized. This statement k-d Senntor Ilaie to
&k a question.
"Within the past S3 days." he saU. "I
have observed by the newspapers thnt
there were 41 Miia'l fights within the
fc)iice of 30 "3ays. Where do they omir?"
The reply was that most of these en
counters had iaken place in IJaungns.
L.iguna. MIndoro. IJohol. Snmar, C"bu
and a few other places. Most of the troops

"You s-poak." said Senator Cuibprson.
as the witness progrc.-cd. "of disagree
ments between the civil and military au
thorities) as to whether there should be a
cnil or military control of a certain dis
trict. In such cas-es-. who determines as
to what shall lie dope?
"That." replied Governor Taft, "is a
question of iiistructlont-. or rather of con
struction of instructions, but we have
golteh along so far without radical disa
rm emenL One difficulty of this kind was
submitted to n.-hington. and we were
told that we mu?t reconcile our difference's
'f we could. We did so, and have had no
other material dilliciilties of the kind."
He promised to sponk mure extensively
on this subject at a later time.
Governor Taft spoke frequently of the
unreliability of ill estimates of the popu
lation, but said there are probably fi.CO,
000 Filipinos or Christians and probably
1 00P.O00 Moros. However, a census is
badly needed. The members of the com
mittee smiled when Governor Taft paid
that the Christians hnd mndo all the
trouble. A second trip into the northern
portion of Luzon Islmd was described
rext. This tour, the Governor said, was
made almost without military escort.
Cagayan. in the extreme northern pnrt
c f the island, is, from an agricultural
standpoint, the most magnificent portion
of the islands and also conttins splendid
forerts. He explained that it is necessary
to provide a more paternal form of gov
ernment for the Igorrotes than for the
Filiiinos. It is also Impracticable to place
Filipino Governors ovr these people.
Governor Tift said that there are prob
ablv 12.LO0 rifles in the hands of insurgents
in the is'.um's, nnd there are rome of
the latter who do not carry gun.. He
could not. lie swld, tell where tiie rilles
and ammunition came from. Some had
been received from Admiral Dewey before
the beginning of the insurrection and
there were also rumors of shipments from
Hong Kong and other parts of China and
from Japan, but the reports could not be
verified. Some Japanese rifles had been
found, but most of the rilles were either
Hemingtons or Mausers, indicating either
American or Spanish origin. As to the
juntas, most of them are concentrated
now at Hong Kong, composed mostly of
natives of Batangas who made their
money in coffee-gt owing.
Replying to Senator Dubois, the wit
ness said that Lnguna and Samar are
tl.o only Philippine provinces which have
rot been organized, and that with those
proinces organired practically all of the
Philippines capable of being taken will be
nnicr civil government.
In reply xo other questions from Dubois,
Governor Taft said that the Filipinos
have a greater attachment for their coun
try than, for instance, the Chinese hie
for theirs.
"The Filipino is." he said, "attached
first to his town and second to his prov
ince, and he is, 1 think, now forming an
attachment for the name of Filipino. On
that pride of country and on the Fili
pino's desire for education, I base my
hope of the success of what we are doing
In the Islands."
In reply to other questions. Governor
Taft said he estimated that from 5 to 7
per cent of the people read and write the
Spanish language, but he could not say
what proportion of the people could write
their own language. One, great difficulty
encountered is the fact that the people of
the different provinces do not understand
the language of anothei The witness
said that many of the S33 American teach
ers are engaged in instructing Filipino
teachers. They are scattered- over the
islands in 453 towns, and they are making
good progress. Many of the American
soldiers acted as teachers of the islanders
and proved very successful. The Filipino
teichers are generally, he said, availing
themselves of the advantages thus af
forded. As a rule, the people appear anx
ious to get the education thus given, but
in some cases the priests are manifesting
a disposition to establish parish schools
for their people.
Governor Taft said that Spanish Is the
only language common throughout the
archipelago, and this is the only instru
ment of communication with outside
thought. Governor Taft said this condi
tion of affairs led him to vote for the
continuance of Spanish as the official lan
guage of the Islands, for if English should
now be constituted the official language,
it would bc impossible to conduct busi
ness without the aid of Interpreters.
At this point. Senator Patterson asked
Governor. Taft whether the Filipino of
average intelligence is capable of distin
guishing between an independent govern
ment for his country and a benevolent
and paternal form of government, such as
the United States would give. Replying.
Governor Taft said that a Filipino of In
telligence is capable of making such a
distinction, but he emphasized the neces
sity of making sure thit the Filipino
who must pass upon this problem Is a
man of such Intelligence.
"You cannot," he said, "appreciate the
ignorance and the credulity of the natives
who do not have the advantage of a
knowledge of the Spanish language. The
present difficulty in the islands is found
in the case where educated Filipinos con
trol their own people. In the Province of
Cagayan they have a system of bossism
and these bosses have almost the power
of life and death. It Is exceedingly dilfi
cult to get into the minds of the people
situated as arc the common people the
fact that theirs Is not the only way of
living. Consequently, when one speaks of
independence he is not understood."
"Do you depend on that ignorance."
Mr. Patterson asked, "to make them
amenable to our rule?"
The response was an emphatic "No.
Our hope, said Governor Taft, "la in
the educated clases."
Governor Taft slid that three of the
members of the Federal party are as
sociated in the government of the is
lands, but, notwithstanding this fact, the
Government is In no way responsible for J
the promises of statehood made by that ;
party in Its platform. Enlarging upon
the subject of the Federal party. Gover
nor Taft said that Jt comprises probably
a majority of the educated people of the
archipelago, but that when the commis
sion was asked either to approve or dis
approve of Its platform. It hid refused to
do either. Possibly, he continued, the
promises misled him. but. as for himself.
he holds the opinion that the institution I

The Senate bill to prevent the sale of fire

Catarrh of
the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, bnt Safe and Ef
fectual Care for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to Incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings.
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs, and difficult
breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, ner
vousness and a general played-out, lan
guid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily, thor
oughly digested before It has time to
ferment and Irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach. To secure a
prompt and healthy digestion Is the one
necessary thing to do, and when the
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastate.
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, Chicago. 111., writes:
"Catarrh is a local condition resulting
from a neglected cold in the head, where
by tho lining membrane of the nose be
comes inflamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing backward Into
the throat, reaches the stomach, thus
producing catarrh of the stomach. Med
ical authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today I am the happiest
of men after using only one box of Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find
appropriate words to express mj' good
feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation, as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, bil
iousness, sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals.

A FINE EXPORT RECORD
SHOWING OF THI2 U.VITED STATES
FOR THE YEAR JUST EXDED.
Total Xot Up to That of 1900 Because
Shipment to Tvto Islands
Arc Not Included.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. The export rec
ord of the calendar year 1001 is very sat
isfactory when its total Is compared with
that of 1200. or of any preceding year.
While the apparent total falls about $12.
000,000 below the figures of 1500. the fact
that the export figures of 1D01 do not con
tain any or the shipments from the
United States to Porto Rico or Hawaii,
which aggregated probably 530,000.000
shows that the grand total of shipments
formerly clashed as exports to foreign
countries was in the year 1901 greater than
In any preceding year. While there was
a reduction of 5100,000,000 in the value of
exports of certain great articles, notably
corn, copper, cotton and iron and steel,
there was a sufficient increase in other
articles, notably wheat. Hour, provisions
and cotton manufactures, to practically
offset this reduction. The reduction in
exports of corn, as is well known, was due
solely to the great shortage in the corn
crop, the total figures of exports for the
year being but 5"O.S61,SSS. against 5SI.2S4,
733 In 1900, n reduction In round terms of
53J.000.000. In cotton, while there was an
increase of 155.000,000 pounds In the ex
hortations, there waa a decrease of $13,
000.000 in value. Of copper, the exporta
tion in 1901 were 533.C-34.S99, against $57,
542)610 in 1000. the decrease In quantity be
ing proportionately about the same as
that In vnlue. In Iron and steel there was
a reduction of 527,000.000. the export fig
ures for 1901 being 5102.539.797, and in 1903
5129.C33.4S0. This reduction in iron and
steel exports was partly due to reduced
prices and partly to a .decrease in quan
tities exported. In locomotives, the num
ber exported showed an actual increase,
while the value showed a. decrease -of
about 5400,000. In various other manufac
tures of iron and steel the reduction in
value was proportionately greater than
the reduction in quantity, but there were
material reductions In quantity In certain
articles. Bars or rods of steel fell in ex
portations from 103,000.000 pounds to 79.
000.000 pounds; steel rails, from 336,245 tons
to 31S.055 tone; wire nails, from 61.3S5.S43

crease in exportntions. though the quan
tity Is as yet comparatively small, being
In 1900 612,251 pounds and in 1901 9S3.3S3
pounds. Wire showed an increase from
174.ul,042 pounds to 197.65I.7S9 poundn. An
other Indication that the reduction in the
value of exports is due quite as much to
a fall In prices- as in quantity is found
In the fact that, while the quantity of
refined mineral oil exported showed an
Increase of nearly 100,000.000 gallons, the
value showed a decrecse of about 51.000.
000; the total cxportatlons of refined min
eral oil In the year amounted to 924.15S.170
gallona. against S2S.915.3C5 gallons In 1900,
while the value In 1201 was 5C5.492.S59,
against 5C6.2a.621 In 1900.
The five principal artlclep which show
a decrease are corn, iron and steel man
ufactures, copper, cotton and mineral oils,
of these cotton and mineral oils both
show an actual increase in quantity,
though a decrease in value. This aggro-'
gate of practically 51CO.&0O.00O reduction in
the exports of these five articles Is near
ly offset by the increase in exports of
wheat, provisions, live animate and cot
ton manufactures, cottonseed oil and oil
cake, and leather and manufactures there
of. Add to this the further fact that the
shipments to Hawaii and Porto Rico ag
gregated probably fully 5C0.C00.CC0, and
the record will compare favorably with
thnt of any preceding year.
The distribution of this large total, real
ly the largest total of- shipments ever
passing out of the country, shows an in
crease everywhere except to Europe. Tho
exports to Europe for 1901 were about $17,
300,000 less than in 1900; to North Amer
ica, there Is an increase of about $1,000,000:

MACLAY'S IDEA OF BRAVERY
Calls Arnold a Hero Admiral Schley
n Caltifr.
Anaconda Standard.
As a defender Of the military reputa
tion of the late Benedict Arnold Edgar S.
Maclay is in his element. "The bravest
man In the revolution." aro the words in
which Maclay described Arnold to a
newspaper reporter yesterday. All his
tory, all military records go for naught
with Maclay. Arnold, the arch traitor,
the betrayer of his struggling country
and her cause, the man whose name has
been the synonym, for all that is false
and mean and cowardly for more than
a century he is the man in whose
character Maclay sees something to
admire.
Benedict Arnold a hero and Admiral
Schley a caitiff these are the estimates
Maclay has put upon two men who
have figured prominently in the history
of the country. Had Maclay kept silent
ho would have been regarded by the
country simply as a weak and foolish
tool of the Navy clique. It wasn't in
him to keep silent. He was obliged to
leap Into the public attention with a
statement even more remarkable than
those contained in his Infamous "his
tory." .The result has been to show
to tho world that he is both mentally
and morally lopsided. He Is of that
pitiable class of mortals thnt cannot
distinguish right from wrong. Students
of psychology frequently hit upon
cases like this where the subject's moral
nature is Incomplete, where there is
something lacking, as the ability to dis
tinguish color sometimes is lacking in
the physical man. Nordau describes men
thus afilicted as degenerates.
On no other ground can the remark
able statements made by Maclay be
explained than that he is incapable of
forming a correct opinion as to truth
anil falsehood, right and wrong. He Is
more fit for the insane asylum than
for duty in the Navy Department of the
L'nited States duty which, fortunately,
he no longer is called upon to perform.
Any alienist called upon to pass on his
case would give this opinion unhesitat
ingly. Ability to differentiate between
right and wrong is a requisite of citizen
ship and ordinary liberty. AVithout it a
man is a menace to society while he is
at large. Maclay's lunacy has proven
harmful enough already; why not send
him to Bloomlngdale and take no further
chances?

"After a man has lived in the world as
long as I have he ought to have found
out a great many things by experience. X
think I have done so.
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction Is the
proper remedy for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate. For 114 years I have
withstood the changeable climate
of the United States.
"I have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subjecc to the littlo
affections which are due to sudden,
changes in the climate and temperature.
During my long life I have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds,
and diarrhoea.
"I had always supposed these affections
to he different diseases. For the last 1C
or 15 years I have been reading Dr. Hart
man's writings. I have learned much
from his books, one thing In particular:
That these affections are the same and
that they are properly called catarrh.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, I have found it to be the
best. If not the only, reliable rem
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my requirements.
It protects me from the evil effects ot
sudden changes; it keeps me in good appe
tite; it gives me strength; it keeps my
blood In good circulation. I have coma
to rely upon it almost entirely for the
many little things for which I need med
icine. "I believe It to be valuable to old peo
ple, although I have no doubt It Is Just as
good for the young. I should be glad 1C
my sincere testimony should become the
means of others using this remedy, be
cause I believe it to be the greatest rem
edy of this age for catarrhal diseases.
"When epidemics of la grippe first be
gan to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease. "I had several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Pe-ru-na was a remedy for
this disease. When I heard Chat
la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I
tried Pe-ru-na for la grippe and
found It to be just the thing.
"It has saved me several times from a
siege of the grip. I feel perfectly safe
from this terrible malady so long as I
have Peruna at hand. I hope that Dr.
Hartman may live to be as old as I am to
continue the good work of teaching- peo
ple the value of his great remedy, Pe
runa. Very truly yours,
