Those Islands.
Tho Philippines group -were discover

1521, tho Inlands, on tho occasion of n
later expedition under Vlllabos, were
named Philippine In honor of tho thcu
Prlnco of tho Asturlas, aftorwnrds
Philip II. Manila -was founded In 1071,
and since that dato has boon held by
tho Spaniards, except for n brief In
terval between 17C2 and 17G4, when It
was occupied by tho British.
Situation, Topocraphy.
Tho islands f tho Philippine archi
pelago arc described by Sir John Bow
ling ns "innumerable." Other author
ities variously estimate them at from
400 to 1,200 In number. Tho eleven
most Important, embracing some 05 per
cent of tho totnl nrea (computed at
114,350 square miles), and the great
mass of tiro population aro Luzon, Min
danao, Ncgros, Panay, Mlndoro, Cebu,
Samar, Lcyto, Palawan, Bojol and Mas
bate. Lying between Borneo and For
mosa, the nrchlpelago extends somo 300
leagues from north to south, and 180
Irora east to weat, and covers V6 de
crees ol latitude and 9 degrees of lon
gitude. Luzon and Mindanao togother
xcocfl all tho other islands combined.
Manila, tho capital, Bltuatoa on tho
west const of Luzon la In latUudo 14
degrees 3G minutes north nnd longitude
120 degrees 57 minutes cast. Its posi
tion, "as a central point between Jn
pan, China, Annam, tho EngllRh nnd
Dutch ports of tho Malaynn nrclilpelngo
and Australia," Is, observes Jagor, "ex
tremely fnvorable to tho development
of a world-wide trade." Some 7,000
miles distant from San Francisco, it
Is but C60 miles from Hongkong, while
from tho northern extremity of Luzon
to the south rape of Formosa la little
tnuroiUuu 2G0 miles.
The Town of Manila.
Thelto of Manila was selected chlef
fy on account of Its fine barbor or -bay,
circular in form, and "capable of hold
ing all the navies of the world.1" Into
this debouches tho river Paslg, which,
with a breadth of about 350 feet, flows
through tho city, dividing if Into" Ma
nila proper or old Manila, and new
Manila or Blnondo. Tho former, oc
cupying the loft or southern bonk of
the river, Is the fortress or citadel. It
tontalns, besides tho principal fortifi
cations, the palace and the cathodral,
and is surrounded by old walls, bos
tloncd and moated, and dating back
hi part to the sixteenth century. These
rails have been cracked by earth
auakes, and could easily be breached
by modern artillery. Jagor describes
fte old town as "a hot, drlcd-up place,
full of monasteries, convents, barracks
and government buildings." "It still
preserves," sayB a later writer, "all tho
austere appearance of a city of tho
reign of Philip II." Upon tho walls,
however, and beneath them, have been
arranged pleasant promenades, where
tho aristocracy stroll and drivo and
rldo In tho cool of the evening. The
alstrict of Blnondo, on the right bank
of the river, is tho place of business,
tho real commercial capital; and here
iro the shops and warehouses and the
movement of modern life. Here, also,
tnd in the pleasant suburban villages
or pueblos behind the city, live the
foreigners and the wealthier class. Be
hind the city stretches a flat region
rich in tropical vegetation, through
which flows for some twenty mljes the
river Paslg which forms the outlet of
i great fresh-water lake called the La
tuna; the country around being known
ts the Loguna province. Beyond this
region tiie land rises towards tho Ir-
regular mountain chain or, sierra which
runs parallel with' the east'eoast, and,
which, abounding in grand and plctur
tsque scenery, is the home of tbqlld
ir native tribes. From this rjiige'as
tends'Mayon, an actlvo volcanoTof con
teal 'form, about eight thouiand feet in
ijevatlon, a conspicuous landmark from
the sea. This height, with that' of, Bm
najao (6,500 feet), and San CrIa,tojml
17,375 feet), are but little exceeded by
Hal con In Mindoro (8,868 feet). Next
In population o Manila Is the town of
Cavlto, at the southern point of tho
bay, eight miles distant, where were
Iho SflanlBh naval and quarantine 'sta
tion and arsenal, and the defences so
jleverly turned' by "" Admiral Dewey In
tho dawn of that eventful first ot May.
Other ports In tho Philippines which
have been opened to general trade are
Sual In Luton, Hollo in1 the island of
Panay, and Zamboanga In Mlnda
aao. Bual has- probably the best
barbor, but Hollo Is the ijmre Im
portant point, Its province being tho
most advanced after that of Manila,
rho pfnW fabrics made here are the
most este'enied. Cadis', or Cdplxalio
to Panay, is uothiw, vOI5,AerfK1fit?7n'
racloban, the chIert6wh"ot tnV Island
of Leyte, has aBjeelle8tharber,apd
U the emporium of trade between Man
lla'anU the islands bf Leryte and 8a
tnar. Xnothcr 'trade station is Cebu,
(he prncp'al town of the island ot Se
bu. From Manila to Hollo It Is 3
hours by steam and 18 hoursfurther to
Cetin. Othor points in provinces or dis
tricts of Albay, Bulacan, North and
South CansnrlneB, 'Batangas, Pagsan
an, and in the Cagayan Valley (rich in
tobacco) might readily be developed
Into Important center by a growing
commerce.
Tha Government The Clmroh.
The head ot the government of the
Philippines Is a Governor or Captain
Genera!, a dtgnllery with halt a page of
titles, appointed from Madrid, tho
Incumbent frequently changed with tho
changes of ministry. TheBo changoH
hao been most projudlcal to tho In
terests of tho Islands; somo of the Gov
ernors hnvo been provisional only, and
the uncertainty of their tenure has very
materially Impaired their efficiency.
Each province has a leaser governor of
Its own; each poblo a gobcrnadorclllo,
or captain, a specleB of alcalde who Is
commonly a mestizo or natlvo Indlnn.
Tho Governor General commands tho
army, but tho fleet remains Bubject to
tho Ministry of Marino at Madrid, and
Is under tho orders of the commandant
of tho station. The church Is governed
by a Metropolitan Archbishop at Man
lla, with bishops for the most populous
provinces. The local eccleslastlcnl au
thority Is mostly In the hands of tho
religious corporations of Augustine,
Dominican and Franciscan monks and
friars, whoso members are legion.
Some of tho fraternities nnd of tho Indi
vidual mouko have becotno most opu
lent; their lauded possessions Immense,
their revenues enormous, the monas
teries nnd convents almost palatial,
their equipages even costly nnd elab
orate. That they hao been the chler
clvllizcrs of the Indians, that they hnvo
repeatedly Intervened with good offices
between the natives and their civil op
pressors, Is undeniable. At tho samo
time the records of the church In the
Philippines abound with evidences of
hoatllo nnd protracted controversies
with tho authorities of the state, and
of bitter contentions between tho or
ders themselves.
The Climate.
There nro two sensons at Manila,
the wet and the dry, or the seasons of
the southwest and northeast monsoons.
Broadly speaking, tho -wot, or rnlny
season, ushered In by the southwest
monsoon, Is from June to November;
tho dry season, when the northeast
monsoon prevails, 13 from November
to June.
In tho wet season the country Is In
undated, the roads become Impassable,
and bridges disappear. Tho annual
rainfall nt Manila is variously report
ed at from 75 to 91 Inches. The hot
test months ore April and May; the
droughts are then long continued, and
accidents from fires are to be guarded
against; It la then that the mosquitoes

Soptember 27, 1865, drove soma twenty
vessels ashore, and did great damage
In the city. A typhoon or hurrlcano on
October 30, 1875, killed 250 persons nnd
destroyed 3,800 houses. Ono of 1882 Is
also memorable; nnd that of Septem
ber 29, 1S90. demolished tho seawall
that protected tho Inner harbor. The
hurricanes at these times often sweep
away crops and destroy plantations.
Tho roadstead, with a violent south
west wind Li unsafe, and sailing vessels

Karthqnahe.
Of the earthquakes Sir John Bowrlng
writes that "tho destructive ravages
and changes pioduced by them nro no
where more rcmnrkablo than In tho
Philippines. They have pro
duced great changes In the geography
of the Islands. They have ov
erturned mountains, filled up valleys,
desolnted extenslvo plains, nnd opened
passages from the sea Into the Interior
nnd from tho lakes Into tho sea. Ho
mentions as especially "calamitous"
the earthquakes ot 1796, 1821 and 1828.
In tho more recent lnstnnce of June,
1S63, tho old town of Manila was ren
dered a masfl of ruins" nnd many per
sons were burled alive. Four hundred
aro reported to have been killed uml
two thousand Injured, and tho loss of
property Is estimated nt eight million
dollars. Thin earthquake wns also very
destructive at Cavltc. The many vol
canoes, some of which have been named
showing as they do, signs of constant
activity In tho throwing up ot clouds
of smoke with frequent flame, aro a
perpetual menace. Subject to such vi
cissitudes and portents, the climate of
Manila Is, lor the tropica, a not un
healthy one. It may bo noted on tho
east coasts of the Islands tho order of
tho seasons, as above given, is re
versed. Frodncti.
The Philippines pobspss a very fcrtllo
soil, though their capacities have been
but Imperfectly developed. In many
localities the soil must be quite or
nearly virgin. Where cultivated the
products aro sugar, hemp, tobacco, rice,
coffeo, cacao, gums, arrowroot, Indigo,
cotton, hides, pepper, cochineal, gutta
percha, sesame betel root, arcrnnut, co
coanut.cocoanut oll.plnacloth, tortoise,
shell, birds' nests nnd tropang; also
bamboos nnd rattans, with logwood,
ebony nnd other hardwood tlm ,er. Tho
material known ob "Manila hemp" is
not produced from tho plant of hemp
with which wo aro familiar (Cannabis
sntlva), but from the fiber of a spoclen
of banana (Musn textllls). The rice of
tho IslandH is the staple food ot the na
tives. The cultivation of sugar Is jeo
pardized by the terrible plague of lo
custs, to which this crop Is subject;
these Insects nrrlve In "Bwarms of mil
lions." The manufacture of cigars,
etc., was for a long period tho monop
oly of the government, and extensive
cigar factories wero established in
Manila and Cavlte, but the monopoly
induced a universal contraband traffic,
and wan discontinued In 1882. The en

extraction has not been extensively
prosecuted. Mines exist of lead, cop
per, Iron and Milphur. Tho Island of
Cebu contains considerable beds of
roal, which, though not ot the first
quality, 0 preferable to tlu of Austra
lia. ropnliitlnn.
The population ot all the Islands Is
probably between seven nnd eight mil
lions, but the rstinutro nro necessarily
somewhat conjectural In view of tho
dtfllrulty In computing tho Inhabitants
of tho remoter localities. Of this to
tal not over 10,000 nro Spanlnrds. In a
few days hence tho American popula
tion will number 25,000 men. The pop
ulation of Manila In 1896 la stated by
Wukouold at 220,000, Including 16,000
"pure Cclcstlalo." 48,000 "Chinese mes
tizos" (offspring ofa Chlnc.se, fathor
nnd an Indian mutual-), 4,300 "pure
Spaniard! nnd about tho same number
of SpanlBh mestizos of whom ho says
"not moro than 250 settlers nro of
European origin npnrt from Spaniards,
and tho rcmnlnlng 147,000 or there
abouts, nro nil natives of the Philip
pines." Of Cavlto (Old and Ndw Ca
vltc) the population Is i,ald to be up
wards ot 60,000; of l.'ollo some 30,000;
of Cebu, 40,000. Ot tl'c constituents of
the population In general, tho Chlnrao
and Chlncso mestizos nro tho most val
uable. Tho Chinese, many of whom
havo acquired wealth, aro tho retail
BhopKeopers, and tho greater part of
tho local trade is In their hands. Their
arrival In tho islnnds In Bald to havu
nntlclpatod oven the coming of Ma
gellan. Tho mestizos "furnish tho edu
cnted and profcgalonal class," hold most
of tho minor ofllces and with Indlnns
composo tho nrmy. Tho Indian of
Manila Is nn Indolent creature, given
up to gambling and cock fighting. The
Spaniards taught him gambling nH wo
taught our Indians the taste of whisky,
Of tho forms of gambling, cock-llght-lng
Is tho most popular Is, Indeed,
almost universal throughout tho Is
lands. Tho Philippine) Indian, It Is
said, Is as much attached to his gallo
"as Is a Bedouin Arab to his horHo."
An early SpanlBh writer characterizes
the ludlnns as "perpotunl idlers, who
go from cockpit to cockpit, thoso uni
versities of every vice." Investing in
lottery tickets sold on tho strectH Ib
also much favored, nnd tho government
adds materially to Its revenues by tak
ing advantage ,of these practices In
exacting license fees for the mainten
ance of places of gaming.
Tha lotnrrectlon of 1800.
Tho characteristics and present at
titude of the Indlnns of tho Philippines
are illustrated by tho insurrection
which was Initiated in August, 1896,
and has since continued. Thcro had
been previous similar risings, notably
ono In 1872, but none where the insur
gents wero so numerous or formidable.
The moving causes of this outbreak aro
to be found In the oppressive taxes, ex
cises, llcenso fees, and other burdens
of the United
States.)
Imposed by the government and en
forced by extqrtlana) officials, among
which, besides tho grievous and unrea
sonable pecuniary mulcts, was the cor
vee of forty days' labor for public pur
poses which every man was compalled
annually to furnish. Tho grievance of
the taxes wan aggravated by tho usu
rious Joans to which the uatives wore
compelled to submit to ralso money,
and especially by the confiscations of
property which were resorted to where
the dues claimed were not satisfied.
The authority to confiscate placed a
"r,7ki' s
crcat power In tha hnnds of unacrupu
loua ofllclnls, who used It corruptly
against tho moro prosperous for tha
purposo of extorting monoy. Theso
grlovnnces beenmo bo gonernl that n
secret Revolutionary Society or Lcaguo
was formed, which by August, 1896,
roso to tho proportions of an army of
50,000 men, Cavlto being tho center of
tho revolt. Tho original rebels wero
joined by deserters from tho army,
vagabonds nnd escaped criminals. In
tho courso of tholr conflicts with tho
forces of tho government, which wns
Instructed from Madrid to show no
mercy, n spirit of atrocious Inhumanity
wns developed on both sides, nnd a sav.
ago destruction of llfo ensued. Tho
killing of prisoners enptured or sur
rendered, smothering of captives In
dungconn, burning nllvo, mutilation
nnd dsembowollng wero practiced by
both, without any regard to tho usages
of civilized warfare. Tho Spaniards, to
extort confessions, resorted to tho
thumbscrew nnd revived tho tortures of
tho Inquisition. Their proceedings
wore claimed to bo justlflcd by tho plon
of retaliation, but no Inw or exigency
could justify retaliation pushed to A
point so mnllgnnnt and brutal. And
Its fatal Impolicy Is shown by tho fact
that the Insurrection has not been sup
pressed, but Is suspended only.
GOOD DONE DY WESLEY.
Ho Qave llulli III Heart and Hit
Money In III Work.
Wesley, during his llfo, gavo to tho
poor $200,000, although always on n
monger salary, says tho Boston Trans
cript. Wesley started in England nn
organization similar to the nssoclatcd
charities ot today, and nlso Inaugu
rated nn entorprlso for loaning poor
people small sums of money, whoroby
they could bo tided ovor business dif
ficulties, nnd there Is on record a cuss
where ho loaned a cobbler $20 to en
largo his business, and ho lived to sec
tho cobbler doing n biiBlncsH of $150,00C
a year. Ho bcllovcd tho scheme a good
ono for helping not only financially,
but In helping manhood. A picture ol
Wesley might bo mado as u student

of provisions in ono hand nnd a Blblo

and, In a letter to Wllberforce, Implor

other hand, Whltflold was a slavehold

his slaves to Lady Huntington.
Maklos: Money.
"In war time," said a man of mature
years, "thcro are always unusual
chances thnt are taken advantage of by
men ot foresight to -mako money. This
reminds mo 'Of whnt Josh Billings sold,
that 'If our foresight waa as good aa
our hindsight we'd all be rich,' or
words to that effect. At tho outbreak
of the civil war in this country there
wore long-headed moa who stored
away manufactured cotton goods,
blcachod and unbleached cottons,
sheetings, nnd bo on. As tho war went
on, what with tho curtailment ot pro
duction and tho blockade of Southern
ports, the price 'of cotton soared Bky
ward and manufactured cotton goods
Increased In value correspondingly.
Most men peddled out their holdings
ns tho price rose, but some hold on and
got for their goods six or eight or ten
times what they had paid for them.
There has boon no ouch money as that
made in this war yet, and I don't cup
poso there's likely to bo, but It would
bo easy to pick out things that have
risen In value and that a man might
easily havo mado a fortune on if ho'd
known what waa going to happen.
Suppose he'd have bought all the bunt
ing there waB, for Instanco, or taken a
fall out of sulphur, or put away a tow
hundred casos of Spanish olives. Ho'd
havo found money in all those things
and in various others. But then a man
can find monoy In timd pt peace, too, it
bo knows how to look."

Every psrson who coughs should not
olaim htmsolf with the Idea that ho Is
in a bad way. Experience has con
vinced ua ot a fact that there are two
distinct klnda.of coughs one proceed
ing from an affection ot tho lungs and
air-tubes, as In a cold, tho other pro
ceeding from effervescence In tho stom
ach. Tho lungs cough Is a symptom
which all know to require attention,
lest serious consequences ensue. The
stomach cough is a much more simple
matter, and may easily be' got quit of.
It Is caubed by 'the food and drink
which are put Into tho stomach effer

A knowledge ot thin faot ought to lead

Napoleon's Table Manner.
It lu said that tho tnblo manners ot
Napoleon Bonaparte were very bad,
and that ho .was so fast an eater that
he had, invariably finished hlo, dinner
before those who dined "with him bad
got half through. In fact, thoso who
had tho honor ot dining with the em
peror were wont to remain after hit
majesty's departure. Upon ono occa
sion Eugcna do Boauharnals, tho step
son of Napplcon, rose from tho table
Immediately after tho emperor. "But
you haven't had time to finish your
dinner," tald Napoleon, "Pardon me,
