n Philippines Constituted n Monastic
Colony.
New York. Dec. ia dispatch TO the
Herald from Madrid says: one of the
best Informed men I'm Spain or the ub-
jet OF the Philippine archipelago, hav-
ing live in the Philippines for a long
time and being personally acquainted
with the leaders Of the present insurrec-
ton. says that America viii not meet
with much opposition I'm establishing
her dominion in the archipelago. In re-
gard to the monks, of whom he spoke
without animosity. he thought they
constituted the power of the country.
which could be utilized, but their sphere
OF action. he thought. should be limited
to purely religious n moral func-
tions.
Spain" he said, has not lost much
in losing the Philippines. Instead of a
Spanish colony. II was a monastic col
ony, the enormous profits of which
went to Rome and into the hands Of
the chiefs of various orders which ex-
plotted the archipelago. There are
many who think that the origin of all
the Instructions Of the Tagalo was the
creation by the monks of Manila, who
distributed every rear a great guam
tity OF diplomas to the natives, who
thus regarded themselves as young lit
erary men. but who had more arro-
gance than understanding. The monks
filled the empty heads of the Tagalos
with the theory of Roman law and the
philosophy of st. Augustine and St.
Thomas.
Masonic lodges and Spanish liberal
democratic newspapers quickly trans
formed this kind of learning into revo-
~lutionary aspirations n protests
against an in~supportable theocratic
domination. 1t Is very probable that a
few schools of the arts or crafts of
agriculture would hav produced abso-
lutely the contrary results. The powers
or the TagalosI In comparison with the
Americans is much exaggerated. Aguin-
aldo and the other chiefs have not be-
them a people anxious for their
liberty and struggling for IL. The ma
tives who are following Aguinaldo are
generally native soldiers. who have
been drilled by the Spanish. and In
rection movement without any fixed
idea Of a definite object.
But. principally. there is at the bot
tom of the insurrection a morbid ha-
tired of the Spaniards, who have ruled
over them so many centuries with an
ill~-considered and arrogant domination,
and also "A hatred of the absorbing
power Of the monks. IL the Americans
endow the Philippines with a prudent
degree Of liberty they will sodn be the
masters morally and materially of the
Islands. than which no country ever
had n colony with a more glorious flu
ture before It,"

one of the longest-lived birds on rec
ord died recently in London. Ii was a
parrot aimee Ducky. the property of
the Prince Of Wales, n its age was
put at more than l25 years. Ducky was
a native of the United States of Column
bia. whence he was transported to
England in 1888. and bought by Prime
Minister Pitt, who. in 1900, presented
him to his master. George III. From
this date on the bird was recognized as
part of the royal household, with quar-
ters at st. James. Ducky, however, de-
veloped amazing conversational powers.
unaccompanied with the proper leaven
of discretion. and in 1850 he was sem
fenced to Punishment from st. James
on the charge. IL Is said, of divulging
family secrets. In his new dwelling
place. Windsor castle, Ducky acquired
even worse habits. Windsor
dates a small garrison. and the parrot
was quick To acquire the ~vcrnacular
of Tommy Atkins The result was con-
sidered unsuitable TO the well-known
decorum of the British court. and sem
tence of Punishment to Australia was
passed on the offender. The amiable
princess of Wales. however. came to
the rescue. n Ducky was removed to
SandrinEham. where he remained un-
I'll the day of his death. Great z
though IL be. l25 years is not consll-
cred by scientific men as the absolute
age limit Of a parrot. SO reliable an
observer as Humboldt. whose state
ment I'm his matter is accepted with
out question by Darwin. tells of a par
rot that must nave lived zoo years. The
naturalist came across the bird in
South America. n his reasons for
crediting IL with such extraordinary
longevity were hat he heard IL use
some words Of a language spoken only
by a tribe Of Indians which had been
extinct more than 200 years.
