h i II rh li s AROUND THE WORLD. Hmhi1ttl (rom Inst week. Manila, P. I., Dec. 20, IQ02. I have learned that it is impossible for a person to write exhaustively con- The better class, so far ns I have learned, are perfectly delighted with the Ameri can policy while the lower class, who give the army so much trouble, ato bit terly opposed to the new fancied no cerning a people without associating with tions of our energetic nation of the tied- that people for a considerable length of time. However some things are plainer than the nose on a man's face, and with these I will pitch my tent. I am uninstructed as to what to write on the Philippine question, and therefore have no axe to KtincJ, not being a politician. An espisode connected with my appear ancs in Manila teaches me that the American people have been deceived by certain newspaper correspondents who have sold out the truth for gold. Before my arrival it was known that I represented an American newspaper and on the strength of such knowledge I was offered a snug consideration, amounting to about $ 100 in gold, if I would agree to color my articles with cpiestionable utterances according to certain specifications. On account of my offer I fly to the conclusion that others less conscientious, being less able to resist a strong temptation, have bartered the truth for a price and have dealt out error to a truth-seeking peo ple. M3' would-be-briber indulged in a tirade against the United States that ranked him in my estimation as one who would drive a dagger to the very heart of his fatherland. He insisted that those on the other side from him would endeavor to buy me -and get me to write flatteringly of them and their cause, declaring that c'cry newspaper here was bought up and controlled by administration men; that any one who endeavored to present the facts as they stand was throttled and driven out of business; that the one who exposed or endeavored to expose the government officials was branded as a seditious person and worthy of deportation. Uninfluenced by either side, I have ex amined the situation as thoroughly as time permits and have gleaned the fol lowing which I present as woithy of consideration. I am informed that men have published articles which enthused the insunectors. Said articles being declared libelous by a proper court, the authors have suffered punishment, one side claiming that the penalties were just, the other that injustice prevailed. One side claimed almost absolute liberty of speech, the other proceded on the ground that anything that aided an enemy or caused the enemy to discount the honesty of the government ought to be suppressed. I interviewed the manager of an English firm who asserts that the customs, taxes and duties arc much mere severe under American rule than was ever experienced under Span ish domination. Those who favor the present system answer the English criticism by urging that the English pout becase they do not own the archi pelago and always comment unfavorably upon the American occupation, manage ment and rule of the islands. They say that the Americans, not being in the colonial business, do not understand the management of far off possessions. Business men of other nations argue that, all things being considered, the present conditions are far superior to the best that obtained under the Span- isn flag, and that the English and Spanish are too slow to compete with the pushing Americans. ' All classes are a unit in agreeing that great credit is due the Americans for transforming Manila into a clean city,, maintaining order by employiug American police, clearing the islands of many bands of outlaws that have been a menace to progress for hundreds of years. The Manila police are Americans, tlnee fourths, of whom, it is said, are college men or graduates of high schools.

Some very conservative Anicri cans in Manila wonder that there is not more opposition to Ihese advanced ideas, for the Filipino has lived in a tropical sun through the centuries. Bananas,oranges, and all kinds of fruit grow in abundance about his door; the fisli fill his tiets till they break; the climate being waim he needs few clothes; hence, why should he work? With so much providence on his side it is a wonder that he does as much as is to his credit. I have just leturned from a hundred mile tour into the interior and I am absolutely amazed at what has been accomplished by the boys who marched under the stars and stripes. No historian will ever be able to chronicle the hardships endmed patiently by the American soldiers. Under a burning sun they marched, wading or swimming swollen rivers, sleeping upon damp giound or in dashing rajn that descend ed in raging torrents, facing poisoned bullets by day and risking treacherous bolos by night on they went until the last band of the most treacherous, un principled, guerrillas that ever faced a brave man was either captured or driven into the fastnesses of tho moun tain forests. In a land where the ac climated natives grow lazy and tho Americans find work unappetizing, the the boys in blue were forced to labor in the face of difficulties towering mountains high. I have visited southern battlefields in company with officers who there won their laurels and I would not detract an iota if I could from the lustre of the deeds the rank and file inscribed upon history's crimson page nor minimize the excellency of their service, but 1 would insist that the aichives of Ameri can history will be incomplete that fail to glisten with entablatures portraying the self sacrificing heroism of the brave boys who, answering their country's call, marched in the face of death throiieh the Philippines. That war has cost much bldod and treasure but that does not alter the fact that almost infinitely more has been accomplished by the American soldier than the peo ple at home have placed to their credit. I am not philosophizing over the prob lem of the right or the wrong of the American flag being planted in the archipelago, but am endeavoring to portray facts as they appear to an im partial writer. Right or wrong the past is a fact and must be dealt with as such. But what to do with tlie islands is the problem of the twentieth century. The greatest wisdom must be exercised by congress and the Taft commission in order to steer the ship of state safelv through the quieting of the present storm into the harbor of the future without running aground.
