An Interesting account of nor trip to
Mnhlla and tho country thoro una re
cently been received by the Latin
Club from a former member. Miss
Kate Foster. Tho letter was written
sovenfl months ago from Malolos, Bu
lacan, PhllTpnlno iRlands, and. Miss
JJosten's description v of tho trip Is
herewith printed: '
' "Tho joufnoy from Canada to Manila
wnfl- very Interesting. The ocean voy
ago takes JuBt twenty-eight days. I
camo tho northern way, and although
It was tho month of Augugt It was
unbearably cold until wo Struck tho
Japan current With tho oxceptlon of
Highting tho Aleutian Islands we wero
out of sigfit of land for -seventeen
dayB untllwo stopped at Yokahama.
Crossing two 180th- meridian wo lost
u day which I luvvq keenly regretted
was not my birthday. I did not havo
time to so into the interior of Japan,
but thoroughly onjoyod tho stops at
Yokahama, Kobo and Nagasaka. Tho
coast is beautiful all along'wlth overy
Inch of available land terraced and
cultivated.
'In China thero were two stops, at
Shanghai and Hong Kong. At Shang
hai wo stopped at Woo Sung, which
s at the mouth of. tho Yang TbI river.
In Hong-Kong I stayed several days
awaiting a boat to Manila. Hong
Kong Is a' beautiful place, situated on
Hong Kong island "and built on a
mountain and is tho largest shipping
port of 'tho Orient. The harbor was
completely), filled, with ships, loading
and 'discharging cargo from all -parts
of tho world. As my boat was leaving
Hong Kong four American cruisers
camo Into port. Such a good Ameri
can fooling camo over me when I saw
tho Amorlcan lings, for I had crossed
In an English ship and overy one 1
had talked with had been English.
Life Different.
"Living In tho Philippine iBlands is
Indeed vastly different from .living In
Lincoln, Nebraska. One cannot appre
ciate tho differences until ono experi
ences thorn for ones self, as tho ori
ental people and tho ways In which
they llvo are so different.
"As you know, thoro are Xwo seasons
here, tho wot season, which' lasts
from Juno until November, and tho
dry seaBou. Thoy tell mo tills has
been a unusual season here, for the
dry season is Just now beginning. This
Is also harvesting time for tho rice.
In tho wot season It, rains and rains,
and then it rains for days more, and
in tho dry season tho dust gets very,
very deop. Thoro is not, as a rule,
much wind, "but In October thoro wero
several deBtructlvo baglnos of ty
phoons. "The natives llvo in nlpa and bam
boo houses, built from flvo to ,ten or
more feet from tho ground. There aro
no windows, but jUBt open spaces In
tho walls for ventilation. Thero is
but little furniture. The bed Is a
straw mat. They use wooden bonches,
chests for clothing, and their Iiousob
aro always well supplied with bas
kets." ?
"Tho chief artjelo of diet Is boiled"
vrlce. With It Is eaten a stow of fish
or vegetables. Meat Is seldom used,
especially among the poorer classes.
The natives do not go to the trouble
of eating from a table,, but oat from a
common, pan or platter with their
fingers, Whore one stops to think' of
tho kind of food upon which, they live
and tho way they llvo ono is not sur
prised that thoy aro. heir to cholora
and tho rest of tho dwful diseases that
ado so common in tho tropics. But its'
to their nouses the c&raboa, which
serves as their farm h'orso, is often
kept under tho house. ' And there 'is
always a cock op two.ready for the.
next Sunday's fight in tho cock-pit.
Tho eaves nnd front window spaces
aro ulwayB adorned with little curly
sticks to keep off tho cholera and the
bad spirits. Theso people believe In
"nswongB" or spirits. In fact our
cook confided In mo nnd told me that
he liad really seen one.
Are Superstitious.
"Thoy aro all very superstitious.
During tho tlmo when cholera Is bo
bad; overy night about nine o'clock tho
San ftoquo parade starts and goes
through the main streets of the town.
This happens all ovor the Islands. San
Hoquo Is supposed to be a saint who
will protect tho natives from cholora
nnd drive It away. Tho parade Is com
posed mostly of women and children,
each carrying a torch. At tho heud
of tho procession is carrlod San
Roquo's Image. As tho procession ad
vances a song Is sung to tho saint.
After about three hours the Image Is
taken to tho homo of some -native
where It Is kopt and entertained until
tho following night, and often a flseta
is glvon In It's honor.
"In Mnlolos there is quite u colony
of Americans. We aro about twenty
miles from Manila and havo an excel
lent train service of four trains each
way per day. By taking tho fast train
wo can cover the distanco In one and
a half hours. Tho Americans hfro
lire entirely apart from 'the native
town; in fact, wo would never see It
uuless wo wont over there. -
"As you know, thero aro a gjcat
many dialects spoko' In the lslards.
In Bulacan province the Tagulog dia
lect is usocL A groat many of tho na
tives understand English arid nearly
nil some Spanish.
"As to dresa, little boys and girls
.wear either none or meroly ,a thin
chemise. Wonien wear a camlseta or
chemise, which is sloovoloss and low
jficeked, nnd reaches to just be'ow the
wnlst lino; a skirt; tho cainliu or
wnlst of slnamay material wlHi flar
ing olbqw sleeves; also a panui'lo.
which Is now being 'replaced by a
scarf. jThe latter Is starched Vf.-Vy
Miff and. thoxjay that.only.A Filipino
can-fold. on& properly.
The men wear a very thin camlso
and loose trousers. Both men and
women go barefooted, somo wear
chlnolas which aro loose slippers
with leather soles and cloth toe
pieces. They also wear suecos or
wooden clogs.
"Tho vegetation Is beautiful and of
great variety. The banana Is every
where. There aro all kinds of palms.
At present the mango tree is in blos
som. There Is also tho papyia, cocoa,
iinpa, bamboo, etc. The last two serve
nearly all purpoBCB from that of an
article of diet to that of a dellcatel
preserved food." , -
