THE FILIPINOS OF LOUISIANA j th nwnt history of their native coun A StrailgC Lilllr IT Of IVople try. an.1 onie h'w express the desire Who are Comparatively I'nknown. ACULOXY OP THE' .MARSHES The Settlement Originated Over fifty Years Ayo by Runaway Sailors i'rum Manila. Perhaia there la not a score of gvw graphera or historians In all the United States wh) even know that Louisiana; oontalns a Fillppino colony. But never theless there are several of them. Ail about the mouth nf the Mlwsisalppl river there are hundreds of tiny Islands ccvered with tall marsh grass some of which are only a few feet out cf the ocean. On the west side of the delta, on a little bay called Baratarla, and to the north of the famous Grand Lite, are numerous little Islands on which are ettled the colonic of Filipino, which. lust now are belnrf visited by many. Southern people anxious to learn forj themselves Just what sort of people our oldlers are fighting with In the far away Orient Beside these eolomVs there are other smaller ones in Lake Borgne, on the other side of the delta. and in the many contiguous islands of the BaratarU group, The principal Island in the laitter group Is Clarkeheniere, and on this is land Is. the main Filipino settlement. T"e little blue men are called along the Gulf "Manllamen." These sons of the far away Filipinos are natural born fishermen and sailors. There are all told in this one colony, or rather series Of colonies, perhaps as many as fifteen hundred persons. The colony seems to have originated more than fifty years agt. In fact, aome of the oldest colonists say that they have been in the country for fully seventy five years. But about half a century ago "Manllamen" first settled oa Orand Isle, the last In the group in Paratarla bay. It was on this island tht the famous pirate, Lafltla. made hla headquarters for many years. In 185i a great storm swept over that re gion, completely submerging Last Isle. Its four hundred souls being washed In to the sea. The next morning not a trace remained of that Ptrangs wild spot In the Mexic Sea Where wind and wave and wl'.d bird wanderjd fr?e. This storm created fear in the breas'.s of "Manilamen," and by degrees they moved a little nearer the mainland and again settled on an island called . Chenier Caminado. This island being somewhat higher than the others was covered with large oak trees. Here! these aulet people built up a flourishing colony. They had a llule church, a schoolhouBe and had made more or lens attempt at an organized government. Then came another fearful hurricane. In 1SS1), during which eight hundred persons one-half the population of Cheniere Caminado were swept into eternity In nne single night. Other Storms of more or less severity follow ed, the last occurring in 1S93, carrying with it serrlble loss of life and proper ty. These sad experiences have Inspired a sort of superstitious dread of the out laying islands In the hearts of those who escaped from the fury of the terribW hurricanes, and they gradually gave up their old homes and went further In shore, where they built tiew ones. It is for this reason that now the greater numer of these peculiar people inhabit the low marshy islands in the sheltered bay of Barataria and the lit tle strips of land along the banks of . the sluggish bayous, n whose bosoms are myriads of wai?r lilies in peaceful repose. Scattered here and there all through the tall marsh grasses, nearled among the scrub willows, haJf hWdwf tim under the dense gro.vtn ot tropicai veg etation, are rudely and curiously con structed houses of palm.-tto and straw, presenting a half-clvllUed appearance the homes of these wanderers from the Islands of the South Seas. They are a silent people, never ming ling with strangers and taking 'little In terest in the doings of the outalde world. Their lives are devoted to the peaceful career of fishermen, Their wants are few. With little sail boa's and out fits for fishing, this colony has lived for more than half a century, content with a good catch which -.vould furnish a frugal dinn?r, In blissful Ignorance of what haa been going on In the great world. They are Iwlim-d to be suspicious of strangers, and when one goes among them he Is very likely to be received with coolness and indifference, but when by the use of tact and diplomacy their suspicions are onoe allayed they will talk without restraint and even open their homes with most cordial hospital-1 lty and place before the stranger the best that they contain. The Filipinos are hoisiessly Ignorant so far as a book learning and knowledge of the world goes, but the great major ity seem to be endowed with a natural Intelligence which marks them as vast ly superior to many classes of forelgn ern who make this country their home. They are Interested In the war In the Philippine and are proud to.talk about tMr native land. I Thy have brant of Dewey, t-nj, al though tt Is with grvAt reluctance tht th-y o.n be Induced to talk about th war with atrangvin. They haw heard in vaue ort of a way tonvihliiK of i that It ehould be rre. j "Do you like the Spaniard?" was ask- ed of a tnrwun of old nwn. "Me like Spaniard? Me llk. a snake? The Spaniard steal our money. Take all we have. No one In Manila like a Spaniard. Me no like a Spaniard Dewey good nian; he give Manila peopl i friendship," were the replies which came from many sources all at once. The writer landed a few day ago from a little steamer on the Island of Ctarkchenlere, armed with a camera and was greeted with very bud grace at first, but the wlonidi were soon won over to amiability. Soon It became noised around that a white stranger had landed In the colony to take pictures. Little brown eyes and shining blao' heads were v liable everywhere, peep tng out from behind window shuttor and naif closed doors. Their suspicions w at length overcome by curoelty. Before I had been among thorn three hours the crowd of curious spectators, men, women and children, had assum ed enormous proportions. Mothers washed their bablos' f.ca, dreased them In their best and pmaded them up and down, hoping their darling would favorably attract the artist's eye. "What you charge to draw -ny hahjr? ' ,;I will pay 1'oti mon.y If yon draw me a picture of ,ny hou" These were the cntriatln remarks which came from all idi when they found they were not all to be "drawn." The most remarkable fact noticed about this Filipini colony was that there ar no Manila women In It. Never vt, say they, has a native Filipino wo man been seen in ihe colony. One old man of superior Intelligence explalr.ed that It was a characteristic of Manila women that they nevet left their honvs. A very few. he said, had gone to Spain, but these were thi only known In stances of Manila w ini-n having left their native land. These Manilamen" took wives from among the Spanish and French creols, and. H a vry few In stances, from among the negroes. They s?:n well contented In their mat rimonial alliances. A great many of these Filipinos are very old men. "We live to be much old," said one. They have one vice, that of gambling. In the center of the col ony stands a gambling hall. At night when the day's work Is done the men congregate in large numbers around the gambling tables and play till their last nickel is gone. Crowds of women enter and stand around as spectators of the game, but seaming to take as much interest as the men. Liquor Is used to a very limited ex ten. There Is a small bar In one cor- ncr of the gambling room, but during! a two day's stay on the island not one case of Intoxication was observed. The quiet, peaceful habits of these people are most remarkable, living as they do without police authority, and with absolutely nothing to fear from the law. There is an utter absence lawlessness and crime. f The principal street In the village of Clarkeheniere has within the past year been christened Dewey avenue. It ex tends al rg the water front, where the most modern, as well as the most sub stantial, buildings on the Island are to be seen. The Island is owned by a white man, who lives In New Orleans, and exacts from the colonists a normal rent of from JUG to J2 and even J3 a year. There Is not a church or schoolhous.; In the settlement or In that entire coast country. The swarms of little swarthy faced Filipinos, the rising generation, are thus entirely without training, ex- eopt such as their Ignorant parents are able to give them. As they are within the limits of the state of Louisiana, they are entitled to school facilities, and about a year ago a kind-heartd and well-nieaning Southern gentleman went among them and urged them to make application for a school, but they did njt take kindly to the idea, and his efforts were not crowned with success. The old fishermen have not Been their native land for many, many years, Most of them left It as sailors on Span- isn vessels, and upon arriving In this country ran away and Joined the col ony of their countrymen. One very old man, who claims to be the pioneer nKtler, stated that he had been in that region for seventy-five years. When he was a boy he worked on a ship engaged In the slave trade. On board this ship he had made many trips to Africa, returning to this coun try with loads of negroes, who were soia to Southern planters. Tiring of friort of England, ye In a lecture which that life he ran away from the ship he delivered In Edinburgh In 18S0, say and took refuge In these marshes, where the New York Pcwrt, he told some very he still llvee. . unpleasant truths about the way the Although they peak the Spanish lan-; English had wronged the Dutch In guage, there Is scarcely one who does South Africa. In particular did he dl not maki more or ltg attempt to speak late upon the manner In which Kim English. They retain many traditions' berley, with Its diamond mines, became of their native land, but none could a British pw-fltdon. The reasoning speaK vmn intelligence of its govern ment. They dress very much a do all the other delta Creoles. They subsist for the most part upon whrirnps, oysters, crabs and fish, which they catch in great numrx'ri. a verv nm:l. ira.u1 Ig tarried on bv them ' m,, nun iiiit; wiLii . .New Orleans, to which the oyster and fish luggers make almost dally trips. Ine New Orleans a very cleanly and fairly well patronized restaurant Is kept by one of the families living In this settlement, the oysters and fish being supplied by those Members cf the fam-! Ily who remain In the colony. A short time ogc a "Manllaman" from, thle colony was tried In the cruris of New Oilvnna for the murdering hla wife. The Jury failed to agree, however, and It aeemed thai the wife had come to her death ty accident. !H0V KKIT.ER FALi:i) A MOII HIS EXIIIMTIOX OF XE1.VK Threatens Kith Violence fur Defy ing the Kailruml Huildcrs of .lohnntsliur;. The next time I saw Oom Paul Kru- ger. writes a contributor to Collier's Weekly, was March 4. 1S90. I remember that date well wd always will, for then I witnessed an exhibition of courage that was superb. Historian have dwelt at length en Krugvr's bravery In bat tle and when hunting, but I doubt whether he ewr excelled the moral and physical courage shown on the da;e mentioned. At that tlm, the Transvaal was In a state bordering on anarchy, with Jo hannesburg the center of the trouble. Owrcapltalliatlon of the mines, gross mismanagement and criminal short comings had caused a state of financial collapse. Money was scarce, provision high, work aim wt j unobtainable and hundreds were- on the vergw of starva tion. Railroad connection with Klm berley was deemed the panacea fiw all existing Ills, and accordingly an agita tion for the building of such a road was b"gun with enthusiasm. Now it happens that the Brvr la first cousin to the moot mulish of mu'lsb mules and will rum be driven. And the B.T retired that the grouping, greedy I'ltlander would overrun the Transvaal the moment a railroad began opera tions. Hence t bore was a strong oppo sition to the project, ht od.il by Oom rati I. But, like the late lamented fianquo's ghost, the proje-ot would mil down, am murmurs of a revolution were heard. They renched the rapacious ears of the president and he determined to facv the Johannesburgra and have the matter settled. Accordingly a rrtss meeting was arranged to take place March 4lh on the grounds of the Wanderers' Athletic Club. a.t the foot of Hoepltal Kill. Long before the hour of meeting the ground were filled with a howling, wild moh, capable of any excees. They car ried arms, too, and open threats against the president were freely made. Time passed and the had of the republic did not appear. Murmurs grew Into cries of derision. At last, when the mob was on the verge of open violence, thi prvs- idert arrived. He was accompanied by ubout a hundrI burghers. Slowly and with evident effort he ascended the platform er.-ct-il for him In the grand stand. Then, uncovrlng his head he fuced the mob. Epithets too vile to be repeated were hurled nt him. They cunted and swore and nil but spit at nim. He stood un moved, calm and almost unconcerned. Then, when the fury of the mob abated, for a moment lie began a speech In Dutch, in his rasping, unpleasant voice. And what he nalJ was ptlll more un pleasant thaa his delivery, for he told the mob that he would grant a railway just aa soon as he was ready and not a moment sooner. When the purport of his wcrds dawn I ed upon the crowd its members mad a rush for the president. He never moved. The mol, awed by this display of fearlessness, fell back. The president had won! That night the lawlais element made an attack upon the house in which the president was staying. The police drove the attackers off. "Were you not frightened by the at tack last night?" I asked Oom Paul the next morning as he was starting for Potchefstroom. .No, replied the president with a grim smile, "for had they touched me the Staata Artillery on Hospital Hill would have blown Johannesburg off the earth." This is the Oom Paul who has sent out a call to hla burghers to defend their country and preserve the Integrity of tho Transvaal KIMBERLEY. How It Came Into England's Posses ion, Mr. Froude was an apostle of expan- was, In brlef,".Vo Btate but England could be allowed to prsse8 the finest diamond mine in the world."

But the Ink was scarcely dry on the document when the Kimberley mines were discovered, and that altered the case entirely. The diamonds stirred the consciences of the English authorities. They found that the Klmb?rley region really belonged to a Grlo.ua chief, not at all to th Dutch; so they proceeded to take it away from the Froe State In order to carefuUy hand ft back to lis rightful owner, the lawloa native chief.
