have their own forms of government,
which is OF the crudest possible type.
The chiefs are virtually kings and rule
with rods OF iron. They do not bother
the coast people. but when their terri
tory is encroached upon they resent IT,
as did the Indians OF our own country
until they were forced 10 submit 10 the
wishes OF the government at Washing

for Aguinaldo snd his followers.

their own battles, and while they were
enemies OF the Spanish they did not
combine forces with either Aguinaldo
