Our .tloliiiniiiii'iliiii Umpire.
Before 1 describe my audience with Datto
tell you something of our .Mohammedan em
pire. It Includes this great island of Min
danao, which, as I have said, is as big as
Ohio, and also thu numerous islands which
spot this southern sea. Mindanao is said to
be about two-llfths Christian, two-llfths Mo
hammedan and otie-nflh snvage. In the other
Islands the people are nearly all Mores, but
there aro probably as many Moros on Min
danao ns on all the rest. No accurate cen
sus has ever been taken and estimates of tho
number of Mohammedans vary all tho way
from 200,000 to HOO.OOO.
Tho Mohammedans, or Moros, as tho
Spaniards called them, are made up of
different tribes. Each tribe Is under Its
Independent chief, or datto. but they all
owo a certain alleglanco to tho sultan of
Jolo, and on thu Island of Mindanao to
another sultan, who lives near Cottabato,
and whom I expect to visit after I leavo
Kamboangn. It is not entirely clear as to
Just what tho relation between tho sultans
and the dattos Is. It Is scml-rellglous nnd
soml-feudal, with tho dattos often so strong
that they apparently pay no attention to tho
sultan.

Mandl's town nro not so secluded as thu
women of Turkey and other Mohammedan
countries, This Is so throughout these Is
lands. Tho females go about with unveiled
faces, and although one daru not (ouch a
woman for fear of death from her owner,
ho may look at her as hu pi coses with ut
offenso. My visit to Datto Mandl was In com
pany with Colonul Webb Hayes, and It
wns together that wo uxplored the v llnge
and tnndu photographs of tho people. Wo
even entered a number of tho houses an I
took snapshots of tho ladles of the harem.
Tho average bonne Iibb no separate apart
ment for women. Thero Is usually but ono
room, and nil sleep on tho floor together,
tho different wives gathering their respec
tive children about them and the common
husband, I suppose, lying next to his favor
ite. The floors aro of bamboo poles. They
aro covered with mats nt night. The wo
men woro sitting on tho floors of tho houses
wu visited, for thero vero no chairs, and,
with tho oxcoptlon or a fow boxes, no fur
niture whatever. Tho clothing of tho family
wns hung from tho rafters of the hut, and
at ono side, fastened to tho wall, was
usually a collection of barongs nnd krlses,
rondy for use In caso of nn Affray. In ono
