It no sooner got a set up a system of slavery among the unfortunate Indians, who were made to labor in the mines without obtaining suf- longer work and deserted to the moun- tains they were pursued and flogged. The same laws were carried into force in every South American settlement in which the armies of Spain landed. The treasuries were plundered and the natives subjected to cruel and brutal laws until Locke said that Spain cannot win in this war, because the hand of God is against her.

The day was enjoyably spent in games, dancing and gathering wild flowers on the hillsides. All day lon~ patriotic hymns were sung by various inpromptu .choruses that never failed to elicit suproarious ap- plause.

Chinese to Be Denorted

United States Marshal Osborne arrived in this city yesterday from Los Angeles with thirty-one Chinese who have been ordered by the District Court at that place to be deported to China. There was no difficulty for the authorities to arrest this gang, as the Chinese almost gave themselves up in their desire to be returned home at the Governments expense. The greater portion of the thirty-one is com posed of young actors who have been roaming about the United States during the past three years.

SURPRISING CULTURE.
Messrs. Wilcox and Sargent enjoyed
three days festivities at Ilagan. There
were dinners. theatre parties, and a ball
In honor Of the Americans, who were inn
mensely surprised at the culture and edu-
cation of the people. The latter wear
western dress, and the ladies are beau
tiful, entirely classifying the anticipations
of semi-savagery.
The insurgent troops have everywhere,
apparently, settled down, and there were
no signs of dissatisfaction with Agui-
naldo's government There are many
Spanish soldiers and friars in captivity,
but no beggars of>charity were observed
among the prisoners.
The officers sailed down a splendid
river to Para, where they arrived No
vember 9Th, on board the insurgent
steamer Fflipnos. From there the appa-
rently idle travellers took a steamer 10
Usto, on the west coast, landed, and
tramped through the Province Of Ilocos,
near the mountains inhabited by the Ne
CRITICS or black aborigines. They saw
none but they collected a number Of in
teresting weapons and implements. That
part Of the country is apparently quiet,
excepting in the mountains, where a
state Of primitive savagery exists.

The Insurance of Women.
springfield Republican,


Why the hazard OF insurance upon the
lives Of women should be greater rhan in
the case of men has not been explained,
but insurance authorities are not disposed
TO question that such is the fact The
companies doing a life insurance business
in Canada have agreed to accept no more
risks on the lives of married women I'M
less they happen to be breadwinners of
the family. and the experience OF Ameri-
can companies seems to show that this is
a wise decision. No company has yet
gone into business OF insuring women
in any number without loss, and most OF
the strong concerns are extremely careful
in accepting such risks, and then only for
limited amounts. III natural cause ex-
lists for such experience. IL has not been
described. The mortality rate among
women Is not known TO be- we believe.
much. II any, higher than among men.
stu, a pronounced natural cause for the
higher insurance risk among women Is
wanting, and In that case moral causes
must be resorted TO for an explanation.
Where the insured is a dependent there
exists no natural insurable interest. and
the temptation on the part OF the bene-
hciary, regardless OF sex, 10 hurry death
on TO Its work In unnatural order Is very
great The woman dependent upon the
labor OF her husband has no temptation
OF this kind, because his insurance or
dinarily would be worth less to her in the
long run than the husbands support. But
in the case OF the dependent wife. whose
life has been insured, there Is no such
Offset in the appeal which the insurance
makes 20 the mans cupidity. The best
insurance companies recognize this grew
some liability. and are disposed 10 avoid
all cases where there is no such natural
insurable interest. 1t applies to the In
surance or small dependent children as
well as 10 the insurance OF dependent
women, and We do not know why thu
general practice OF insuring the one
should be condemned any more strongly
than the insurance Of the other.
