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

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
