LABOR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
A knowledge of the wagea paid
for labor in Manila and of the con
ditions one mast meet should be
sufficient to keep American labor
ers at home. If they wish to take
their labor to that market, it mast
be sold as cheaply aa the labor of
their competitora, as they will re
ceive no larger wages because the
Philippine islands are a possession
of the United States. The best
skilled labor at Manila receives the
equivalent of $15 per month in
gold, while the average earnings of
the working classes will not equal
$1 per month in gold, out of which
provision must be made for the
support of one's family. The best
clerical labor, such as accountants,
cashiers, bookkeepers, and the em
ployes of the larger houses, receive
from $30 to $00 per month in gold.
The small number of Europeans,
excepting the Spanish, who are en
gaged in business in the Philip
pines are either the proprietors or
responsible managers of estab
lished firms. The total absence of
European and American laborers
in the Orient is a sufficient demon
stration that their employment is
not needed. It is quite true that
the cost of living is merely nom
inal in comparison with the oost in
the United Stated, but even if one
should save one's entire income, it
would scarcely amount to a compe
tence. It is a mistake to indulge
the supposition that the Filipinos
are uncouth savages, inoapable of
performing skilled labor that re
quires the exercise of judgment.
The population living along the
coast and in the cities has attained
a surprising degree of civilization,
and the workmen of this class pro
duce an infinite variety of artioles
of their own manufacture that
would be creditable to a more en
lightened country. They are, in
my judgment, superior to the same
classes in Cuba, Porto Rico and
Hawaii, and possess in a great
measure the cleverness at imitation
of the J apanese, whom they resem
ble in physical appearance and in
the similarity of many customs.
From "Material Problems in the
Philippine Islands," by Samuel W.
Bel ford, in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for April.
MACS IN THE SENATE.
The Washington Post under b
reoent date, pnystha'following com
pliment to the ability of the four
Macs in the United States Senate,
heading the list with Oregon's Sen
ator, MoBrido. Washington pa
pera oftes speak very highly of
Senator McBride, acknowledging
his exceptional ability aui tireless
energy, which means so much for
our stats. Not only in consider
ation of tin Senator, but state
pride, entitles his successful efforts
bi credited by the Washington
papers, to full recognition by our
local press.
"There are four Macs in the
senate McBride, MoEnery, Mo
Laurio, and McMillan. Two are
democrats and two republicans.
But they all voted for the treaty,
and two of them McEnery an
McLaurin secured its ratification.
" Our citizons of Sootch descent
are very solid members of Bociety.
They seldom got left in any im
portant matter which progress,
prosperity, and patroitism are in
volved. It is a pretty safe thinp
to btt on the Scotchman. He
makes it his business to keep od
the winning side, and it is due him
to say that, canny though h may
be in ordinary things, he is willinp
to risk a littlp, sometimes much,
where his feelings and convictions
are concerned. He is a good, solid
standby iu the hour of need.
Hoot, mou!"
Sesok Qcesada, who repre
sented the alleged Cuban republic
iu Washington, although never of
ficially recognized by this govern
ment, from almost the beginninp
of the Cuban revolution until de
posed by the Cuban assembly, the
other day, is still in Washington.
He takes a hopeful view of the sit
uation in Cuba, and believes that
everything will come out right in
the end. He said: "I think we
are goiug to get a fair deal. 1
think that the United States will
do well by Cuba, and that Cuba is
worthy of the sacrifices that hav
bfen made in her behalf by the
United States." He think that
the questiou t annexation is one
that should bo and will be left uutil
Cuba has a government and con
gress properly elected by its people
to decide whether it would prefer
maintaining an independent repub
lic or being annexed to the United
States. He says he is perfectly
satisfied that the Deode of the
United States would not consent to
the annexation of Cuba upon any
other basis than the request of a
majority of its people.

"Manila, Maroh 31. Mao Arthur cap

MAC ABTHTJB ADVANCING.
Manila, Marob 31, 10 53 a. m. Major
General MaoArthur advanced to attaok
Maloloe, tbe seat of the insurgent gov
ernment at 7 o'olook tbis morning. He
was met with strong opposition, tbe
rebels resisting desperately bnt losing
heavily. General Hall's brigade is ad
vancing north from tbe water works and
driving the left wing of tbe enemy.
TBS MABOH TO HALOLOS.
Manila, March 31, 7:30 p. m. The
United States troops rested last night in
a jungle about one mile and quarter
from Malolos. Tbe day's advanoe be
gan at 2 o'olook and oovered a distance
of about two and one-half miles beyond
Guigninto river, along tbe railroad. Tbe
brunt of tbe battle was on tha right of
the traok, where the enemy was appar
ently concentrated. The First Nebras
ka, First Sooth Dakota and Tenth Pen
nsylvania regiments enoonntered tbem
entrenobed on tbe border of tbe woods
and tbe Amerioans advancing across an
open ooantry, suffered a terrific fire for
half an boor. Four men of tbe Nebras
ka regiment were killed and tbirtv
wounded. Ten men of tbe Dakota regi
ment were wounded and one of thePeo
osylvanlas was killed. The Amerioans
finally drove the Filipinos baok. Al
though there were three lines t f stri ng
entrenchments along tbe traok, the
enemy made soaroely any defence there.
General MaoArtbnr and his staff were
walking on the traok abreast of tbe line,
with everything quiet, when suddenly
tbey reoeived a shower of ballets from
sharpshooters in trees and on housetops,
bat these were speedily dislodged.
The enemy's loss was apparently small,
tbe jangle affording them snob protec
tion that tbe Amerioans were unable to
see them and in firing were guided only
by tbe sound of tbe Filipino's shots,
The American artillery was handioapped
for the same reason. Last night's long
line of oamp fires made a beautiful sight
with tbe Twentieth Kansas on tbe left
of Uulguloto and the Pennsylvania regi
ment on the right beyond the river. Tbe
provision train was delayed by broken
bridges, bnt stores of grain and lots of
docks in tbe locality tarnished ample
forage. Hospital work is remarkably
exoellent as it baa been through the
whole campaign. Telegraphers keep
abreast of the line and maintain ooo
stan! connection with the oity,

THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT.
The Verael from Nowhere Bound to
No-
where to Be Bold.
The New York Times, on March 30tb,
ays: lb e Hcipio, a orafl from nowhere,
bound to nowhere, flying no flag, owner
less and orewless, is to be eotd to tbe
highett bidder at tbe Brooklyn navy
yards by tbe United States government.
A board baa been appointed to examine
the abip whioh lies at the yard. The
board will determine as to how to dis
pose of ber.
Tbe board will perform a similar doty
with respect to the steamer Niagara,
whioh is also at the Brooklyn yard. This
was bongbt by the government from tbe
Ward line daring tbe Spanish war.
At tbe outbreak of hostilities, agents
of the government were engaged in bay
ing shite and war munitions in England.
The beginning of actual warfare fonnd
some of the deals incomplete, England
being a nentral power, these incompleted
deals could not be pushed through t tut
ia to say, apparently not. Boon atter tl e
beginning of hostilities, a steamship in
perfect trim from stem to stern, with
furcaoe fires burning, with steam up, but
without a boqI on board, was found
adrift off tbe coast of Newfoundland,
found by a United States ship, too,
oddly enough. Tbe crewlees ship was
tbe Soipio.
Sbe flew no flag, and there was not so
much as a scrap of paper to be found
aboard ber to indicate where sbe ssiled
from, where sbe was sailing to, or who
owned ber. She was a mystery of tbe
deep. Tbe Soipio oarried a cargo of
ooal, but never did snob strange things
oome out of a cargo of ooal as oame
trom tbe depths of tbe anthracite piled
In tbe bold. Tbere were guns, fine
modern affairs of English make, Maxims,
Holobkiss oannoos, field piaoes and
other ordnsooe, together witb ammu
nition. Just bow the Soipio oame to be found
adrift with such an opportune cargo by
a United Statea ship has never been told
officially. Tbe Soipio baa been at the
Brooklyn navy yards einoe she was
picked up adrift on tbe high sea-.
Of oourse it was pre-arranged ehe
could be "picked" up by ageats of tbe
United Plates government, as at the
time, owing to the restrictions of the
neutrality law, a sale oould not be
efieoted in the ordinary way
