Why the Natives Hate Their whIIom
spanish Masters.

Why the Natives Hate Their whIlom
spanish Masters.
Native PHILIPPINES, residing in Mad.
rid, expressed their grievances In an
address to the Spanish people. II
contains extracts from the last Philip
pine budget for the last administra-
tive year (l896-97), and enumerates
the following crying complaints.
Quoting from the budget IL states that
the Philippine treasury pays q heavy
contribution to the general expenses
of the government at Madrid; pays
pensions 70 the Duke de Verague Tour
guest during the Columbian exposi-
tion), and to Marquis of Bedmar; be-
sides those OF the sultans aud native
chiefs Of the islands Of Sulu and Min
danas; IL provides for the entire cost
Of the Spanish consulates at Pekin,
Tokyo, Hongkong, Singapore. Saigon,
Yokohama, and Melbourne; for the
staff and material OF the minister of
the colonies, including the purely
ornamental council OF the Philippines;
the expenses Of supporting the colony
OF Fernando 70, in Africa, and all the
pensions and retiring allowances Of
the civil and military employees who
have served In the Philippines,
amounting to the sum Of 81, 100, 900 o
year.
What milch COW these islands
have been to the Spaniardsl What o
host Of ignorant, idle hidalgos have
fattened upon large sums diverted
from the unfortunate workers.
And what has Spain done in return?
The document from which I translate
this states the facts with scathing
bluntness: More than SIT, 900, 900 is
the amount consigned in the Philip
Pine budget for that year, but not
penny is allowed for public works,
highways, bridges, or public build
ings, and only $4,000 for scientific
studies, indispensable repairs, rivers
and canals, while the amount set
apart for religions purposes and clergy
amounts to nearly 81, 400, 900. This
sum does not include the amounts
paid to the clergy for baptisms, mar
riages, ETC., which exceeds the govern.
ment allowances. The magnificent
sum Of $40, 900 is set apart as a sub
vention to railway companies. and new
projects OF railways, but the College
for Franciscan Monks. in Spain. aud
the transportation Of priests comes in
for $50, 900.
II seems really rs II the world had
gone back three centuries, and as il
we were living In the time Of bloody
Philip III, after whom these most up-
fortunate islands were named. Six
thousand dollars for all new improve.
ments, yet the choir OF the Manila
cathedral receives $4,000, and $50, 00O
are set apart for the support Of the
cathedral. Public instruction, in.
Guiding naval, scientific, technical,
and art schools must be maintained at
gross expense Of 100000, and from
this pittance museums, libraries, the
observatory, and a special chair in the
University OF Madrid must be paid.
Add to this the Squeezing and pecula-
ton OF every Spanish official from the
governor general down to the lowest
alguacil, and it is no wonder that these
people, robbed right and left OF the
fruits OF their toll, hate the Spaniard,
and will have no more OF Spanish
rule. Manila Correspondence, Balti-

reckons. no doubt. on involving moi only Swat
