PHILIPPINE HALF BREEOs.

Bulk Of Manila's Popslasson.
Mixed marriages have always BEEN
encouraged by the government OF the
Philippines, special advantages being
granted to military men who marry the
daughters Of the country. Three centu-
ries Of intermarriage between European
men and native women. and also be-
tween the latter and the Numerous
Chinese immigrants, have consequently
added to the original population a large
proportion of half breeds representing
every degree Of admixture. The Chinese
mestizos alone are said to constitute
one-sixth of the domesticated native
population, and the Spanish mestizos,
together with the creoles or 'ssons Of
the country (hijos del pais), as they
term themselves. form an influential
body, the majority Of whom are estab.
lished as traders in Manila and the
provinces. Owing to their European
descent, more or less distant, these
Spanish half breeds are endowed with
quicker perceptions. greater business
capacity, and wider intellectual facul.
ties than the pure Tagals. Many Of
them are we'll educated, but few dis
play much natural talent.
A certain number Of mestizos, both
Spanish and Chinese, have amassed
large fortunes as middlemen between
the native growers and the European
merchants. Although in tho Philip
pines no distinct line Of demarcation ID
drawn between races and classes, the
social position of these half breeds and
creoles is somewhat equivocal, though
vastly superior to that Of the Eurasians
of British India. As q class, they are
continually struggling to obtain the po-
sition and consideration accorded to the
peninsular Spaniards, who refuse to
give them their daughters in marriage;
while their dusky hued connections
form a perpetual reminder of their ma
tive origin. Vainly endeavoring to dis.
own kinship with the latter and assert
an equality with the Castilas, they
bear a grudge against these for possess.

THE PHILIPPINE CHARACTER
Brave, -Inoonstant Chatting Under Re-
straint, but of o PLANT Nature.

After years Of studyfof the native
character I have come to the conclusion
that the Philippine islander is very
matter of fact. He is not unwilling,
but unable, conscientiously to accept
an abstract theory. Christianity, with
its mysteries, has therefore no effect on
his character, but he becomes accus-
toned to do that which his forefathers
were coerced to do-namely, to accept
the outward and visible signs without
being imbued by the inward and spirit
ual grace. The mere discipline-the
fact that nolens volens they must at q
given hour on a given day appear
dressed In their best and attend the
church and Tin the case Of headmen) go
to the monk g residenceto "kiss hands,
has certainly had the effect Of tanning
the masses into orderly beings.
Yet restraint Of any kind is repugnant
to him. He likes to be as free as a bird,
but he is Of a plant nature, and easily
managed with just treatment. He is ex-
.tremely sensitive to injustice. If he
knows in his own mind that he has
done wrong, he will submit to a thrash
ing without any thought Of taking re-
venge. If he were punished out Of mere
caprice, or with palpable injustice, he
would always have a lurking desire to
give quid pro quo. He has an innate
contempt for towards, hence his disdain
for Chinese, but will follow o brave
leader anywhere and will be the
first to yield to hunger, fatigue or pos
sible chances Of death. He takes every
trouble with profound resignation; he
promises everything and performs lit
tie; his word is not worth a straw, and
he does not feel that lying is a sin. He
is inoonstant in the extreme and loyal
90 long as it suits him, but as a subject
he can be easily nodded into any fashion
which a just, honest and merciful gov
eminent would wish.-Contemporary
