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.

dent. 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.
