Now that tbe government has called
out 125.000 troops of the National
Guard and formed camps in every
State, the great questions confronting!
the authorities are, nrst, now to xeea
the men, and secondly, how to keep
them in good health. New troops, sud
denly called from comfortable homes
to the privations of camp, are sure to
become subject to various kinds of
complaints. Sleeping on the ground,
getting wet, and other kinds of ex
posure superinduce rheumatism, neu
ralgia, catarrh, asthma, hay-fever, yel
low fever and other kindred ills. It is
understood, as a precautionary meas
ure, that certain scientific gentle
men of prominence are seeking to
supplant quinine and other dras
tic tonics by what is known as
HROP This Is well.
1llUl O The first thing
the .hospital authorities should
do is to lay in a supply of
"Five Drops," which is a sure
cure for the above mentioned
complaints, and many others. No
regimental doctor should be with
out them, as at a small cost the gov
ernment may thus save much future
.expense. Men can't fight unless free of
disease, and "Five Drops" will keep
our boys in such excellent trim that
when they meet the Spaniards they
will give a good account of themselves.
Good medicine is as Important in
camp as good food, and there is no
better medicine than "Five Drops."

The primary eaace of the rebellion
which has existed la the Philippines
since July, 18M, was the corruption
and Insatiable greed-of Spanish offi
cials, leading them to extremes of tax
ation aad persecution in order to en
rich themselves. The first cry of the
revolutionists was "Down with the tax
es," which soon was changed to "Down
with the clergy" and finally to
taxes," which soon was changed to
"Down;, with the Spanish." The gov
ernment aad ecclesiastical authorities
vera joined In an unholy alliance to
wring profit from the misery of , the na
tives. The richer class is made up of
foreigners, Germans, Chinese, English
men, and a few Americans, who, exact
ing a greater tribute from the native
agriculturists, pay a leas to the gover
nor and the host of greedy alcaldes and
minor omclals. Briefly, these were the
causes which led to insurrection in
Caba as well as the Philippines, and
which la the end will rob Spain of the
two last gems of her colonial crown.
Wherever there was disaffection it
was encouraged by republicans and
Spanish Carlists, hoping in the end to
irerre themselves by weakening the
kingdom.
In the Philippines there is added to
official corruption the shocking crook
edness of the European clergy, be
longing to all known monastic orders,
who encourage abuses of governmental
authorities that they may gain im
munity from an interference in their
nefarious business. Year by year the
taxes have been Increased and have as
sumed proportions out of all reasonable
relation to the yield of rice fields and
sugar plantations. The people pro
tested feebly against new impositions,
but as opposition to the government
increased -the rigor of the rule grew,
and hundreds of men and women were
deported without trial to the penal col
onies of the Caroline and Marianne
Islands. Within recent years a means
for secret meeting has been given by
the Introduction of Masonic lodges,
which have increased rapidly in num
ber and in membership. The clergy
brought to bear all of its immense in
fluence with authorities both at Madrid
and Manila for the suppression of these
try into Manila to sell nothing more
than a chicken or a fish. At one time
In every village there were several
weavers whose cotton cloths, much
prized by the natives, had a ready and
remunerative sale. This local indus
try has disappeared owing to a royal
decree favorable to the manufacturers
of Catalonia, which permitted their
goods to enter without duty. These
manufacturers sent goods of an in
ferior quality and extraordinary cheap,
ness and drove the native workmen
.out of competition. This was tbe only
Industry known in the Philippines, and
there remained only the cultivation of
the fields. Dut the native, if owner of
a rice plantation or a field of sugar
cane, almost always sells his crops
standing in the field or plantation at
a price which barely pays for the cost
of raising to the half-breed Chinese,
who in turn sell them to the German,
English or American traders at .an
enormous profit Not satisfied wltt
the tributes of the rich Chinese and
foreign houses, the governors impose
taxes upon the poor native landholders
which take from them everything they
may gain from their crops. The gov
c'rnors are energetic in the collection
of these taxes, for they receive a per
centage, usually one-fifth, of all the
revenues of the colony, in addition to
money which the law does not allow
but custom never questions.
Masonry Spreads Socialism.
Masonic lodges were introduced into
the archipelago by socialists driven to
Manila after the Insurrection of Car
tagena. It is true that these people
closed their lodges as soon as the Cre
oles and half-breeds showed their in
tention of joining them, but the mis
chief was done with the lesson. The
natives began to establish societies in
all parts of the islands, and In a few
years had enrolled 30,000 members. The
mysterious and symbolic attracts the
imaginations of these people, and the
opportunity of secret meeting and dis
cussion of grievances without fear of
betrayal was seized upon enthusiastic
ally. It is the custom for a new mem
ber to make a gash in hi3 arm, and
over the blood he mixes with that of
the initiator he swears his allegiance.

he was arrested, sent back to Manila,
summarily tried, and executed. This
was the work of Governor Polavieja.
who had succeeded Blanco. While Rl
sal was on his journey to Spain rebel
lion had broken out, and the anger of
the authorities against him was arous
ed by new charges of perfidy made by
the priests, to whom Polavieja was de
voted. Tbe execution of Rizal made
the rebellion more furious, and the in
surgents sought as much to avenge his
death as their wrongs. Rizal to them
was the martyred hero of their cause.
The first victims of the rebels were the
priests. Their monasteries were burn
ed, and the hatred for the monks
sought extremes of cruelty in its expression.
Not only the uneducated and super
stitious elements of the population took
part In the rebellion, but the most
prominent native families. Many young
men are sent each year to Madrid and
other peninsular cities to be educated,
and return to their homes with knowl
edge of the freedom of speech and un
restricted liberty of the press in Spain
and imbued with republican or anar
chist ideas, which encourage them to
attempt the free expression of their
opinions. The result is persecution.
Furthermore, a native, no matter how
prominent is never given a salaried
official position, all of which are mono
polized by the retainers of different
ministries. To all of the wrongs de
scribed are to be added the notorious
corruption of the judiciary and the
brutality of the police.

accumulating injustice for many years.

organizations, and so severe was the
"persecution of the Free Masons and so
great became the abuse of the arbi
trary power of alcaldes to imprison and
deport suspects that tbe. Spanish gov
ernment Issued a decree declaring that
every individual whose culpability Was
not proved after forty-eight hours' im
prisonment should be given his liberty.
Places fer Nutaaacea.
It has long been a notorious fact in
Spain that generals whose influence
among the people is becoming too great
for the entire comfort of tbe regency
or who are disaffected through the con
stant shifting of politics are rent to
Caba or to the Philippines to make or
remake their fortunes. If they return
to Spain with riches out of all propor
tion to the emoluments of their office
.-nobody commits the Indiscretion of
asking the source. Their commissions
are recognized as letters of marque giv
ing them the right to seize upon what
ever they may. There are many and
celebrated Instances of this condition
of things. Including General Weyler,
General Blanco, aad General Riviera.
Still more extraordinary than the apa
thy of Sraln to this legalizing of cor
ruption is the fact that the colonics
regard with terror every change of
ministry, knowing that it means a
haage of governor general and anoth
er swooping down of birds of prey,
whose ravenous appetites must be as
suaged. The hatred of colonists for
the mother country is made greater
because all minor offices in the Islands,
,even to the clerkships, are given to
favorites cf the new ministers, and na
tives are nerer allowed to share in the
feast. Moreover, the lands of the re
ligions orders steadily increase. The
priests and monks possets enormous
plantations from which they derive
Immense revenues. The people are
made to pay dearly for sacraments, snd
the fees exacted are much greater than
ia any parish of Europe.- The clergy
live la luxury, giving themselves up in
their Isolation not only to every man
ner of secular indulgence bnt to the
most atrocious excesses, which in
SpalB weald drive them in disgrace
from the church.
While these functionaries enjoy free
dom from taxation, any native, man
aad woman, without reference to prop
erty income or station, is compelled to
aay a fzed tax. An Indian woman
without employment and not owning
any farnHnre mast pay 10 pesetas. A
man must pay 45 pesetas. Defaulting
in this payment, he is forced to work
'for afteea days oa the roads. Every
individual whose trade does not exceed
the sale of a few betel ants, a basket
W mangoes, or a beach of bananas,
fanst fay aa additional tax. as must

Each member, therefore, bears a scar
on his arm, and this mark makes him
ft suspect of Spanish authorities. It
has happened many times that a pris
oner has been convicted and shot on no
other evidence than this telltale mark.
Many women associated themselves
in these orders. Sedition has thus been
fostered, free from civil, religious and
military authorities, and a regime of
liberty roughly formulated. The lodg
es are moat numerous in Cavite, the
principal theater of the rebellion, while
in Batangas, Bulacan, and Pampanga
there are ten to twenty branches of
the order, and at least one in each of
the other provinces. Their emwine
influence and implacable hatred of the
clergy was a source of grave apprehen
sion to the priests, who petitioned the
minister to order General Ramon
Blanco, then governor general of the
r.rchipelago, now of Cuba, to put an
end to Freemasonry. But General
Blanco was not energetic in carrying
ont this command, being too much oc
cupied in a contest against Mohamme
danism in Mindanao. The government,
again appealed to by the priests, and
peculiarly susceptible to this influeaceJ
peremptorily ordered Blanco to take
the rigorous measure of deporting 400
members of the lodges.
This order was the direct cause of
the uprising in 1896. which began In
Manila, and extended to Cavite, Pam
panga Laguna and Bulacan. but not to
other provinces, because of the ancient
rivalry of the races, the surest safe
guard of Spanish rule. This is a fac
tor In the politics of the islands that
the government fully appreciates, to
the point, indeed, of encouraging the
factional enmities. Before the con
quest by Magellan the islands were
ruled by warring Sultans, and there
still remain vestiges of numerous
tribes.
Because of his inactivity and appar
ent indulgence to the rebels Blanco was
denounced in Madrid by religious bod
ies. What exasperated the priests
most was that be refused to kill Rizal,
who was by them proclaimed to be the
principal factor in the rebellion. As a
matter of fact, however, this does not
appear to be true, and no just cause
was given for such summary action.
The clergy sought revenge upon Rizal
above everything else for his denun
ciation of them to the people.
RIaal'a Tragic Career.
Rizal was a pure-blooded Indian, who
was brought up by the Dominicans of
Manila. 'He went to Europe, studied
medicine, law, sciences and foreign
tongues, and returned to Manila hon
ored with the highest degree of con
tinental universities, a Freemason, and
the inexorable foe of the cerrapt cler

Dense Population la Bombay.
The greatest density of population
ia the world Is claimed for Bombay,
and is only disputed by Agra. The
population of Bombay amounts to 760
persons per acre in certain areas, and
fa these sections the street area only
occupies one-fourth of the whole.

It is said that the castor-oil plant
is abhorred by nearly all members of
the animal world; that moles may ba

destroying locust will cat it.
Swiss funeral customs arc peculiar.
At tbe death of a person the family
inserts a formal, black-edged an
nouncement in the paper asking for
sympathy, and stating that "the
mourning urn" will bc exhibited during
certain hours en a special day. In
front of the house where the person
died there is placed a little black table,
cohered with a black cloth, on which
stands a black jar. Into tbis the
friends and acquaintances of the family
drop little, black-margined visiting
"cards, sometimes with a few words of
sympathy on them. The urn is put
oa the table on the day of the funeral.
