1000. (Special Correspondence cf The lice.)
I wne offered four slaves horo today for
fifty gold dollars. They wcro owned by a
woman who claims sho Is a Christian and
not by ono of tho Mohammedan Moros. I
went Into tho Woman's houso and chatted
with her for somo tlmo about tho human
flesh on salo and later on persuaded her
to bring the elaves out In tho yard that I
might mako a photograph of them. Tbroo
of them were boys, ranging In ago from
the men captives and to make slaves of
thu women and children. In four
tribes which Inhabit tho mountains near
hero slaves nro said to bo used for human
sacrifices. These tribes aro tho Dngobns,
Actns, Qulangas and Tagaclas, who live
on or near tho slopes of Mount Apo, I have
seen much of tho Dagobas and the Gulangas
in Davao and will dcscrlbo them more fully
hereafter.

of tho business of tho smaller towns of Uf

TWO NEGRITO SLAVES.
16 to C. Tho other was a girl of 12, tho
age at which girls aro sometimes married
down horo on tho edge of the equator.
Tho smallest boy had nothing on but h
shirt, which barely reached to his waist,
and tho other two wore only coareo panta
loons extending from the walat to tho
knees. Tho girl was half naked, her only
garment being a wldo strip of dirty cotton
cloth wrapped about her wnlst and fastened
there In a knot. I had a photograph made
with myself standing beside her and sho
reached Just to my shoulder. As I Blood
thus tho slavo owner evidently thought I
wanted tho girl nnd said "Mucho bueno,"
or very good, and told mo that If I bought
only her sho would havo to charge me more
In proportion than sho nsked for tho Job
lot. Sho said the little girl sh uld bo worth
at least ?lf, and seemed 6urprla:d when I
did not Jump at tho bargain.
I asked hor where, tho Blavos came from.
Sho roplied that thoy had been brought 'n
from tho mountains, having been captured
by ono of tho savago tribes In a rocent
wnr with Its neighbors. Sho said they
wero Aetna, or Mindanao Negritoes, and as
I looked at their black skins, thick noses
and sensuous eyes I could soo traces of
African blood. I talked with tho slaves,
through an Interpreter, but could not get
any evldonce of their having been Ul-uacd,
but thoy seemed Indifferent as to whether
they wero to bo sold or not, nnd evidently

as many as they can support.
Tho Vlsayans of this Island, at least,
havo slaves, although It Is nominally
against tho Spanish law. Still human
beings nro bought and sold, and oven tho
officials havo been accustomed to own them.
I mot this afternoon the ex-prosldento of
tho town of Davao. He Is a rich Vlsayan,
who has n largo farm not far from here.
He owns a numbor of slaves and keeps
soveral In his family for sorvants. I havo
beon told that tho Christians soldom soil
slaves, although they buy them, and that It
Is common for a man to purchaso children
to bring them up for work about tho houso.
'Nearly all of tho savages, of whom there
are many, have thotr slaves captured In
war. It Is not an uncommon thing to kill
whom they havo bought. Thoy do not
marry them, but treat them well as wives,
taking good caro of their children.
Sluvcry Aiuoiik Hc Moron.
Tho chief slave owners, however, nro tho
Moros. They have tho right to slaves by
their religion and havo held them for
centuries. In tho past they havo carried on
a great business In kidnaping men, women
and children and taking them to Borneo nnd
elsewhere- for sale. There aro whlto men
still living who havo been Moro slaves, hav
ing been captured by tho Moros in their
wnrs with tho Spaniards. According to tho
Moro laws the father has the right to soil
his children. Ho can sell his wife and It ho
gets into debt ho sells himself to pay it.
The debts of fathers entail tho slavery of
tho children, who ngrco to work for their
creditors until tho debt Is pnld.
Dean Worcester, ono of tho comnilsslcnors
sent by tho president to examine into tho
Philippines, quotes tho prices of Moro slaves
In tho Island of Tawl Tawl at fifteen busholB
of rlco, and states that he was offered a girl
of 15 for $3. My Investigations arc that
these prices are too low. Somo of' tho slaves
I sco hero arc estimated as high as $20 in
gold and $10 is thought to bo very little for
a grown-up woman.
Captain Hagadorn told me that ho bought
a slavo girl for twenty Mexican dollars
and gave her her freedom. It was a caso
of sentiment on tho part of tho captain. It
is said that "all tho world loves a lover,"
and this Is especially so when tho lover Is
of the femlnlno gender. This slavo girl was
In 1-vo with a young man of the village,
but tho man was poor and as her master
was needing money he was about to soli
tho girl to a hated rival, an old Moro. Tho
girl said sho would rather dlo than servo
him. Cnptnln Hagadorn'B heart was touched.
Ho bought her and mnde her frco, and sho
has since married tho lover of her choice.
Died for Lore.
Tho idea that lovo does not exist among
the slaves of tho Moros Is a mistake Cup'.d
does not restrict his darts to any raco,
color or condition of servitude, and evoa
the sultan of Sulu is powerless to restrain
him. Tho sultan has, you know, tho right
of life and death over all his subjocts. They
are really his slaves. Ho commands them
and they obey. Ho has tho right to selzo
any of the women and ho has a goodly
number of slavo girls In his harem. Not
long ago a female slavo connected with
bis household fell In lovo with ono of his
warriors. Sho was neither wlfo nor concu
bine, but merely a servant of tho harom,
and tho warrior asked his majesty that
she bo given him as a wife. Tho sultnn
refused and tho two ran away and got mar
ried. They wero captured and brought tack
and tho sultan then said that tho man must
die. Tho girl thereupon throw herself at
the fcot of tho sultan nnd beggod that sho
bo allowed to dlo with hor lover. Tho
nultan consented ana tno snmo camp inn
sliced off tho two heads.
According to our treaty, as I understand
it, any slave In tho Islands ruled by the
sultan of Sulu can be freed upon payment
of $20 by him to his mastor. I doubt If
this covers tho Island of Mindanao, which
Is now a part of our country, and, there
fore, subject to tho thirteenth amendment
of tho constitution, which proviJce that
slavory shall not exist In any placo subject
to the jurisdiction of tho United States.

At present the Spanish laws aro In forco,
and they will contlnuo eo until congress
adopts others. It was moro than 300 years
ngo that Spain decreed that slavery should
be abolished In the Philippines. King Phi Ip
