Cf the earthquakes dir John Eowrlng '
writes that "the destructive ravages
ar.d changes produced by them are no
where more remarkable than in the
Philippines. • • • They have pro
duced great change* In the geography
of the Islands. • • • They have ov

ami from the lake* Into the eea. He
mentions as especially "calamitous"
tro earthquakes of 1790, 1324 anJ 1533. 1
In the more recent instance cf Junn,
18o3, the old town of Manila was ren
dered a marn of lulns” and many per
son* were burled alive. Four hundred
nre reported to have bc^n killed and
two thousand Injured, and the loss cf
property Is estimated at eight million
dollars. This earthquake was also very
destructive at Cavi’e. The many vol
canoes, come of which have been named

uctlvlty In the throwing up cf clouds ]
cf smoke with frequent flame, are a
perpetual menace. Subject to such vi
cissitudes and portents, the climate of .
Manila Is, tor the tropics, a not un
healthy one. It may be noted on the

Products,
The Philippine* possets a very fertile
coll, though their capacities have been
but Imperfectly developed. In many
localities the soil must be quite or
nearly virgin. Where cultivated the
products arp sugar, hemp, tobacco, rice,
coffee, cacao, gttin.i, arrowroot, Indigo,
cotton, hides, pepper, cochineal, gutta
percha, sesame betel root, arccamit. co
coanut, roeoanut oll.plnacloth, tortoise,
shell, blrds’*r.cs(s and trepang; also
bamboos and rattans, with logwood,
ebony and other hardwood timber, 'fhe
material known rs ‘ Manila hemp” is
not produced from the plant of hemp
with which we are familiar (Cannabis
catlva), tut frcni the fiber cf a specie*
of banana (Musa textllls). The rice of
the Islands Is (he staple food cf the na
tives. The cultivation cf sugar Is Jeo
pardised by the terrible plague of lo
on's, to which this crop la subject;
these insects arrive in “swatms of rali
lions." The manufacture of cigars,
etc., was for a long period the monop
oly of the government, and extensive
cigar factories were established in
Manila and Cavite, but the monopoly
Induced a unlver'scl contraband traflic,
and was discontinued In 1882. The en

countries in the year 1831 (the last

Population.
The population of all Ihe Islands Is
probably between seven and eight mil
lions. but the estimated are necessarily
somewhat conjectural In view of the
difficulty In computing the Inhabitants
of the remoter localities. Of this to
tal not over 10,000 are Spaniards. In a
few days hence the American popula
tion will number 25,000 men. The pop
ulatlon of Manila In 1890 la stated by
Wakefield at 220,000. Including 10,000
pure Celestials," 48,000 "Chinese mes
tizos” (offspring of a Chinese father
and an Indian mother), 4,300 "pure
Spaniard-! and about the same number
of Spanish mestizos of whom he Bays
"not more than 250 settlers are of
Kuropean origin apart, from Spaniards,
and the remaining 147,000 or there
abouts, are all natives of the Philip
pines.” Of Cavite (Old and New Ca
vite) the population Is said to be up
wards of (iO.OOO; of Iloilo some 30,000;
of Cebu, 40,000. Cf the constituents of
the population In general, the Chlneue
ami Chinese mestizos are the most val
liable. The Chinese, many of whom
have acquired wealth, are the retail
snopkeepers, and the greater part, of
the local trade is in their hands. Their
arrival In the Islands I* said to have
anticipated even the coming of Ma
gellan. The mestizos "furnish the edu
cated and professional clai'S,” hold most,
cf the minor offices and with Indians
compose the army. The Indian cf
Manila Is an Indolent creature, given
up to gambling ar.d cock fighting. The
Spaniards taught him gambling as we
taught, our Indians the taste of whisky.
Of the forms of gambling, cock-fight
ing Is the mo/t popu!ar--ls. Indeed,
almost universal throughout the Is
lands. The Philippine Indian, It Is
said, Is as niueh attached to his gallo
"ag Is a Kcdculn Arab to his horse.”
An early Spanish writer characterizes
the Indians as "perpetual Idlers, who
go from icckplt to cockpit, those uni
versifies of every vice.” Investing In
lottery tickets sold on the streets Is
also much favored, and the government
adds materially to Its revenues by tak
ing advantage of these practices In
exacting license fecg for the mainten
ance of places of freming.
Tlia Insurrection of ISIIO.
The characteristics and present at
titude of the Indians of the Philippines
are Illustrated by the Insurrection
which was Inlriated In August, 189'i,
and has since continued. There had
been previous similar rltlngt, notably
one In 1872, hut none where the Insur
gents were so numerous or formidable.
The moving causes of this outbreak are
to be found In the oppressive taxes, ex
cises, license fees, and other burdens

Wesley, during bis life, gave to ths

meager salary, says the Boston Trans

organisation similar to the associated
charities of today, and also Inaugu
rated an enterprise for loaning poor
people small sums of money, whereby
they could be tided over business dif
ficulties, and there la on record a case
whete he leaned a cobbler $20 to en
large his business, and he liv. d to see
the cobbler doing a business of $150,000
a year. He believed the scheme a good
one for helping cot only financially,
but In helping manhood. A picture of

“la v.or time,” said a man of ma'.u ’e
years, “there aie always unusual
chances that are token advantage of by
men of foresight to make money. This
reminds me of what Josh Hillings ..aid.
that 'tf our foresight was at good as
our hindsight we'd all he rich,' or
words to that effort. At the outbreak
of the civil war In this country there
were long-headed men who stored
away manufactured totton goods,
bleached and unbleached eottons,
sheetings, and so on. As the war went
on, what with the curtailment of pro
duction and the blockade of Southern
ports, the price of cottcn soared sky
ward and manufactured cotton goods
Increased in value correspondingly.
Most men peddled out their holdings
as the price rose, but tome held on and
got for their goods six cr eight cr ten
times what they tad paid for them.
There has been no such money as that
made In this war yet, Rod 1 don't sup
pose there's likely to le, but It would
bo easy to pick out things that have
risen In val'* and that a man might
easily havo made a fortune on If he'd
known what wa3 going to happen.
Suppose he'd have bought ail the bunt
ing there was, for Instance, or taken a
fall out of sulphur, cr put away a few
hundred case* of Spanish olives. He’d
have found money In all these things
and In varloua ethers. But then a man
can find money In time of peace, too, If
he knew 3 how to look.”
