Can We Abolish Slavery Among Moros?
(Copyright, ISIS, by Frank Q. Carpenter.)
ASHIJJQTON. Dec 1J. -(Special
ATl Correspondence of The Bee.)
jff I Tho government Is again hav
ing trouble with our Moham
medan i"ouIn. The Moron In
places are up In arms against
the new laws, and are openly and se
cretly fighting .tho regulations as to slav
ery. Thero Is no doubt that slavery ex
ists not only In the Moro country, hut
also here and there In other pnrta of the.
Islands, and It will be a long time before
It can bo wiped put. I do not mean peon
age, or debt bondage. That Is common
In all the farming localities. I mean
actual slavery, such as nxlsted when we
took hold of tho Islands. I traveled
through Mindanao and the Sulu archi
pelago when wo were Just beginning to
pacify that part of the Philippines. I
then found slaves everywhere, and onco
' had. a chance to buy four likely Moham
medan children for $30. Tho owner was
a Filipino woman, who lived several hun
dred miles west of Zamboanga, at'Davao,
under the shadow of Mount Apo. She
had the little ones brought for me out
Into the sunlight and I made a photograph
of them. There were three boys and a
girl ranging In ages from 9 to 13 years.
The girl van the oldest, and, as Is com
mon In tropical countries, at that age sho
was almost ready for marriage. She was
half naked, her only garment being a
wide strip of dirty cotton wrapped around
her waist and falling to her knees. As
I "looked at her, her fat old mistress se
ductively said: "Muclia buena," or very
good. Sho told me such a girl ought to
bo worth $25 of any man's money and
seemed surprised that I did not Jump at
the bargain.
bovr Figure for Gfrls,
Dean Worcester says he was offered
slavo girl a on the Island of Tawt Tawl
for fifteen bushels of rice, and that on
many of the islands ho could buy girls
of 15 for 13 apiece. A captain of the
army told me how he had recently
bought a slave girl for $10 and given her
her freedom. This sale was made out, of
pity. The captain, who was engaged
to a very pretty girl In the tfnited States,
sympathized with the female slave, who,
although in love with a young man of
her village, was about to bo sold Into
the harem of an old Moro chloftain. The
girl said she would rather die, than sub
mit, and the captain bought her and gave
her to the man of her choice.
Another man whom I know, an officer
of our army, saved a slavo girl from
death. She had angered her master,
who waa one of the Dattos, and had run
off from the harem and thrown herself
at tho feet of the officer, saying the
ODatto had threatened to kill her. The
officer made the Datto promise to spare
her life, to agree to bring her once a
week to his quarters to show that she
was still living. This was done for sev
eral weeks and then the girl disap
peared. Whether the Datto killed her
or Bold her to one of her friends was
never known.
Divorce1 Cornea Very Easy.
A few years ago tho sultan of Sulu
got up a. new code of laws which he sent
to Manila for approval. Many of them
related to slavery and to the treatment
of tho women Of the harem. Our gov
ernment docs not like to bo mixed up
In religious matters, and according to
the treaties we allow the Moros to wor
ship practically as they please. 43y the
Mohamedan religion every follower of
the prophet has the right to four wives,
and all he has to do, if he wishes to
'change, is to say to such of his wives
as he does not like three times:
"I divorce you! I dlvorco you! I di
vorce you!"
This means that they rriust go and not
return, 'and he can fill up the quota with
a fresh assortment. According to this
code the relations between the Moros
and the slaves were plainly laid down.
It wis provided that if a slave laid his
hand upot ft freo married woman with
any improper Intention he should be the
property of the woman's husband, and
also that If a free man laid his hand
upon a married slave woman he should
be fined $100. If tho slave woman in'
formed as to the outrage the fine waa
to be divided between her and the state.
but if it was detected by others the whole
fine went to the state.
Some Practices of Masters,
Another clause in the coda provides
as to the sale of slaves and others uu to
debt slavery. Among the latter regula.
tlons was .one that If ft man could not
pay his debts bis family should belong
to the. debtor until paid, but that this
slavery could not lost more than three
years. A third law related as to run
away slaves and others to stolon slaves
and crimes committed by slaves.
The code was turned down by our gov
ernment, but it shows that the Moros
still regard slavery as a divine right,
notwithstanding their American rulers.
I met many of the dattos during my
stay in the Philippines and I saw some
thing of their wives and slaves. The
(women are not veiled, as in other Mo
hammedan countries, and both wlvea and
slaves go about bare faced, I was told
that a datto was considered rich accord
ing to the number of slaves he owned.
and that children were stolen from other
tribes to be kept as slaves. Some of the
dattos were notorious for their cruelty
in regard to their slaves. I met an "old
villain named Utto, who gave unheard-of
punishments for minor offenses. Slaves
who ran away from him were often pun
ished by cutting the tendons below the
knee, so that they could walk only with
difficulty and could be easily caught if
they tried again to escape. This man
had a slave girl whom he disliked. He
bound her over a place swarming with
red ants and she was bitten to death.
Utto had a man tied, naked to the trunk
of a tree, where he was roasted by the
sun during tne oay and eaten by mos
. qultoea at night. This torment was ter
rlble. And a calf brought in by our sol
diers for slaughter and left tied that
way died In one day.
Utto had also stocks in -wtUch he left
people to die. One of our officers found
a Moro dead in the stocks. He was lying
there, no one having dared to remove the
corpse.
Ingenious Ways of Torture,
Some of the above instances I give on
the authority of a Jesuit priest who waa
traveling among the Moros Just about
the time we took hold of the islands. He
wrote about them to one of the generals
of the United States army and the latter
included them in his report to the gov
ernment. This man described other pun
lihments meted out by the chiefs of these
Mohajn -an Moros. He says they had
ono way of tantalizing their enemies.
They would tie a man in the river where
the tides came In in such a way that he
could Just escape drowning by standing
on his tiptoes and thus keep the water
from enterine his nostrils and mouth. At
times of extraordinary tides such men
were drowned.
One of our American officials says that
e saw a Moro In Jolo who always wore
bandage over his mouth. This was to
hide from public view its deformity,
which had been caused, not by nature,
but by a datto to whom he had spoken
disrespectfully. The datto ordered that
the man's mouth be split and opened to
tho flies of tho Jawbones. This was
dene with ft krls and it was then left to
heat. Strange to say, tho man lived.
Dlfflaultles In toe War
It is strange that slavery cannot be put
down in the Philippines. The Spaniards
ttempted it S00 rears ago, and there
have always been laws against it Ona
reason for the trouble with the Moros la
that it is hard to distinguish between
the wifo and the slave. The Moros be
lievo that they have tho right to as many
wires as they can support and, as I havo
paid, the Koran elves them four. Fre
quently the chiefs have but one real wife
and the rest are slaves whose children do
not Inherit rank or titles. Some of these
Ives are right good looking. I remem
ber seeing the favorite of Datto Mandl's
harem at Zamboanga. Tho Datto was
almost CO years of age, but this girl was
18, and she would have been a beauty
almost anywhere. She was tall for a
Moro, ns plump as a partridge and of
rich mahogany brown. She had fine
eyes and large, sensual lips. Sho was
dressed In a klmona when I saw her and
tie datto stood beside her while I made
photograph of the two.
I asked something as to the customs
of marriage and was told it was largely
question of bargain and sale. Tho
husband pays for his bride, and at tho
time we took hold of the Sulus the aver
age price for & good-looking girl was
$10 in sliver, a water buffalo worth about
$15, and W0 pieces of rice cake, worth 1
cent each. Of the money paid $1 went
to the girl and the rest to her parents.
Moro Marriage Ceremony,
The Moro marriage ceremonies usually
take place at the house of the bride.
They aro performed by a priest, who
asks the man it he takes the woman for
his wife. Of course, he says yes. Tho
same question is then put to the woman,
but ehe is supposed to let her relatives re
Ply for her. After this he groom presses
his thumb, which has been blessed by
the priest, against tho forehead of the
brido. He then mixes up a chew of betel
nut for her and throws It down at her
feet. She pretends not to notice it, but
one of her friends picks it up and gives
it to her. and later on she chews it in
secret After this comes a wedding feast
and then the family of the groom leaves
and the husband and wife start married j
life. The wife has but few rights which
her husband is bound to resepct, but ha
has to live with ber, and If he stays away
for more than three months at a time
she can demand a divorce.
Strength of Mohammedanism,
The Mohemmedans of the Philippines
number about 250,000 and they are Just
about one-thousandth part of the Mo
hammedan population of the world. Few
people have any Idea of the extent of
this religion. Thero are about 260,000,-
000 followers of the prophet. Moham
medanism Is the principal faitn in a great
part of Asia and Africa, and it has
millions of adherents in Europe. There
are 600,000 Mohammedans In Austria
Hungary and almost 4.000.009 in Russia.
Rumania has M.C0O and the Balkan
states, which have been creating so much
trouble lately, have almost three-quarters
of a million. There are S.000.000 followers
of the prophet In European Turkey, and
in all Europe there are about as many
Mohammedans as Jews, and between
8.000.000 and 9.000.000.
China is generally looked upon as a
Confucian and Buddhlstlo country. Nev
ertheless there are something like 10.-
000,000 Mohammedans .In the republlo
and its dependencies, and there are w.-
000.000 Mohammedans who live north
of the Yangtse river. Many or tne peopia
In Mongolia are Mohammedans, and there
are 200.000 Mohammedans in Peking.
During a trip which I once made to the
great wall of China 1 had a muieieer
who was a Mohammedan. Ha got down
on his knees five times a day to say
his prayers, He always prayed facing
the southwest, where Mecca lay, and he
bowed again and again every time the
sun rose and set. There are Moham
medan mosques In many of the Chinese
cities.
Majestic Mosque nt Delhi.
The most of the Malays are Moham
medans, and there are millions who follow
the prophet In Java and in the other Is
lands of the Dutch Eeast Indies. As to
India, it has more Mohammedans than
there are people in the whole derman
empire. It has far more than Turkey,
and there are certain provinces in which
the Mohammedans are the1 controlling
class. The largest and most beautiful
mosques in the world are at Delhi and
Agra, in northern India. The big mosque

nllllana In Africa.
I havo seen a good deal of the Mo
hammedans of Afrtwv. They arc found
by the millions in Hgypt, and. Indeed,
the greater part of northern Africa Is In
habited by them. Among the most fanat
icnl arc those of Morocco, the most ot
whom acknowledge no alleglnnc to -Turkey
nor to the sultan of Constantinople,
'although he claims to be the head of tho
.Mohammedan world. There are Moham
J rnedans throughout the Sahara, desert,
and I found millions ot them In Algeria
and Tunisia. I traveled among them In
Tripoli, whero the people are also fanat
ical, and saw something of them In Zanzi
bar and parts of Houth Africa.
The Egyptians are almost altogether
' Mohammedans, and omo Ot the finest
rrosques of the world are In Cairo. Thero
Is ono which Is made of alabaster, on the
edge of n court In which Is a great ala

MoKiiur nt Jerusalem,
Another fine mosque is in Jerusalem,
It stands on the alto of Solomon's tem
ple, and It is Impossible to enter It with
out a permit from the Mohammedan gov
ernor of the holy city. In that mosque
la tho rock upon, which Abraham built
his altar upon which he was about to
sacrifice Isaao when tho angel of the
Lord called out to him to withhold his
hand. Tho mosque la called the Dome of
the Dock, and the Mohammedans say
that tho Angel Gabriel will stand thero
when he blows his last trumpet. Then
nil tho people of the world will come to
Jerusalem, and Jehovah, sitting upon his
throne upon this rock, wilt separate the
sheep from the goats. Some Moham
medans say that the whole human race
wilt havo to walk a tight rope or thin
wire which will then be stretched across
the valley ot Jehosophat, and at one end

Laxative-tonic.
No well-regulated home should be with

in n family ot several persons that some
one doesn't complain of a headache, ot
sleeplessness, or show the first signs ot
a cold.
A laxative then becomes a necessity

Is at Delhi, not far from the place where
the new government buildings ot the Brit
ish capital are to be erected. This mosque
covers acres. It took C,000 men, work
ing six years, to build It, and it has as'
many steps as the capttol at TVashln
ton. I shall never forget my visit to It,
and how I was there shown a rello which
was pointed out as the most precious
object in all Hindustan. I was modo
to take off my shoes before I could see
the relic, and In my stocking feet I was
led through corridor after corridor until
I came to a great chest which contained
a, nest ot locked boxes. These were
opened one after another, and at the
last, in a little glass casket, on a. green
velvet cushion, was displayed ft hair
which I was assured came from Mo
hammed's mustache. The hair was as
red as that ot my own head, and the
priest told me that Mohammed had red
hair and a red beard. It Is for this
reason that many Mohammedans dyo
their hair and whiskers to a bright red.
They want to pass their way Into heaven
by having beards of the same color aa
Mohammed. Indeed. It seemed to me that
I was treated with respect in tho mosque
on account of the red color of my own
moustache.
Beautiful Taj Mahnt.
The most beautiful mosque In the world
Is the Taj Mahal, at Agra. It Was built
by the same man who erected the Jamma
Musjld, the mosque I have Just described.
The Taj Mahal Is not so large, but it
was far moro costly and Its wonderful
workmanship is still the admiration of
the world. The building stands upon a
rnosalo platform of black and whlto mar
