into the harbor owing to the dense fog
and rain storm which has prevailed for
over forty-eight hours. The feeling
which prevails among a great many
people in this vicinity that the Amer
lean battleship was destroyed deliber-
ately by enemies of the United States,
prompted the naval authorities to guard
against any possible harm being done
to the visiting Spaniard at the hands
of anybody. Admiral Bunce, COM
mander of the navyyard, received or
ders from Washington to establish a
careful and well appointed patrol to
guard against any such emergency AS
result sir patrol boats do guard duty

Press Captain Eulate said that while
his ship was in this port his officers
would accept no invitations of any
kind. He likened his visit to that Of
one intimate friend with another.
When the disaster had oyertaken the
latter. the same delicacy dictated what
% do to mourn with the friend and
to avoid all festivity. No invitation Of

this he wished to have understood.

a hearty cooperation on the part or my countrymen-Who will as rule be found d0cile and obedient.
 It will, however, greatly simplify matters if some one with tact and firmness be appointed governor of the colony, for there are many petty Jeal- ousies to be OVercOme-many things to be avoided.
 Furthermore, it is not to be expected that my countrymen will accept at once an Occidental civilization and West ern self -assertiveness in it's entirety. Such acceptance must be gradual. and will be a work of many years; but if Anericanism-modif by the native character and by the complex condi- tiOnS of the East-f1Ourish there after being carefully nurtured for a century the United States will have accomplish ed q great work for the good of the world.
 I have already spoken of the material benefits to be derived from American control, and vet l have heard il assert ed that it will require a standing army of 25,000 Americans to keep the natives from murdering each other, and that this will entail an expense which will neutralize the commercial profits of the Americans.
 This can In no event be true Such an army may be necessary for a year. but the natives themselves will event. ually form the guarC for civil protec tion and for defense against foreign as

[ SET out on my trip to the land of
 the Bataks after having secured
 B by inducements, which to them ap-
 ! peared extraordinary, caravan of
 thirty-six carriers. There was but one European in the party besides my self. We were conducted by native guide from one of the hill tribes, who was recommended as a thoroughly trustworthy man, and who indeed proved invaluable as time went on. Our course lay over the high mountains which lie a few miles back from the coast at Deli, and beyond which is the land of the Bataks, in which, as far as I have been able to find, no European had hitherto set foot. For the purpose of ingratiating myself with the blacks I carried a large supply of all kinds of glass beads, mirrors, knives and Yari- ous colored cloths, especially sort of red cloth with gold border, which the blacks esteem very highly.
 The partially civilized tribes that l came across in the earlier stages of my journey afforded many opportunities for lteresting study, and our progress was therefore slow, for l reasoned that the more thoroughly 1 understood the Cus- toms and ways of these people the bet ter I should be able to understand those

in the wilderness beyond, which was our ultimate destination.
 One peculiar custom, which was na- turally among the first to impress itself upon me and which apparently prevails among all the natives of the island, is the method of preserving the dead. The body is burned but the head is placed in a small basket on top of bamboo pole as thick as mans arn and thatched over the top with the leaves of the sugar palm. Here 1t is left to bleach and dry and the sight of these ghastly sign posts which we frequently came across was anything but reassuring In some places the head is not detached, but the entire body is hung up in sort of wicker work wrapping, suspend ed between two posts several feet above the ground, and it is possible to view through the interstices in the basket work the ghastly remains which the breezes swing to and fro as they would

a hammock, with most uncanny et- feet.
 Among the natives whom l first en- countered I was an object of mild put intensely curious interest. It seemed 10 give them great delight to gather Ill crowds and watch me whenever l went in bathing. The sight of man bathlng was not new to them, but it was ap- parently the first time they had ever seen such a thing as a cake of soap, and the father produced by it was d marvel to all beholders But it was impossible to get any of them to try it's effects. The natives laughed at my custom of eating with a knife and fork, and ex- plained over and over again that 1t was much easier to use the fingers.
 By using the passport provided by many gifts of cloths and beads to the tribal chiefs, my progress was cCm- paratively easy, until we entered the territory of one tribe which was at war with it's neighbors. These would not permit our caravan to pass until the impending battle was fought. This gave me an excellent opportunity to observe the native manner of carrying on war and I watched the battle in company with the women and children of the tribe, from the top of neighbortne hill. It was a strange sight, several thousand naked Malays advancing in irregular lines, in semicircles, to meet

gression, and such army can be sup ported entirely by home taxation. Nor need such tax be onerous. With an eff ficient and economic administration the colony should be self-supporting in five years after the Americans assume en- tire control. Even under the inefficient. corrupt and disastrous Spanish regime (before the recent revolution had made a large army necessary the cc lony was administered with but little aid from the home government.
 I would suggest that the American Government appoint an administrative advisory council or cabinet of nine teen composed of native rom every civil province who is conversant with the conditions there.
 Let the provincial governors for the present also be Americans-not pOliti- clans, but jurists of ability and renown, for the office combines judicial as well as executive functions end much re-

upon an open plain. Each party had guns bought from native traders, who had introduced them from the Dutch settlements, but they were used almost as effectively as the Spaniards use theirs.
 The savages advanced with terrific shouts, trying to frighten their oppo- nents Each man had loaded his gun with a tremendous cnarge of powder, which he fired when he was ready. AS the gun went off he fell bowling to the ground from the kick of the heavy load. This noisy firing, harmful to the owners of the guns alone, continued for about half an hour, when shower came up and all the combatants rushed back to their huts for shelter. The battle was over

vision and application of law will be found necessary, should the office ot provincial governor, as well as that ot representative to the congress, be made elective, when the natives shall possess the franchise which I believe should be based upon both an educational and property qualification. The minor offices should all be filled by natives By this system the skeleton of the pres ent government would be maintained and there would be no violent changes. 4 democratic despotism-if such paradox is permissble-is what the col ony needs before it can be made ready for all the functions of true democratic government.
 The church should be left alone where it does not interfere with the functions of government. I have heard that con- siderable activity has been manifested by some of the American Protestant churches, who are getting ready for a Christian propaganda" among the heather Filtpinos."
 This activity, l think is entirely un- called for We are, and profess to be, Christians, and it is just as necessary and as logical for American Protest ants to christianize American Catho- lies as the Catholics of the Philip pines. Indeed. it is my belief that Catholicism, with it's ritualism and gorgeous ceremonials, is more suited to the cUdTdCleI O1 lIG natives lHdl IIlG colder forms of Protestant belief, which have never fiourished on Oriental soil.
 The friars should be expelled. for they are religious corporations that have no soul and that are unassailabIe and irresponsible, but the church. with it's excellent system of parish spiritual government and its gentle, refining in f1uence on the native character should be- maintained inviolate, though the separation between church and state should be made complete
 I will conclude by saying few words about my countrymen. We have had as all the world knows, but few opportuni- ties. and yet I challenge any other na- tive colonial race-the people of Java and of British India not excepted-to show a finer people than the best Phil ippine product. All visitors testify to their refinement, honesty and hospital

During quito good half hour felt
nothing In any way abnormal, but when
the meal was drawing TO its close a subtle
warmth, which came, as Ii were, In gusts
to my head and chest, seemed TO permeate
my body with singular emotion. Later
on the conversation around me reached my
understanding charged with droll signifl-
ance. The noise of a fork tapped against
glass struck my car as most harmoni-
Gus vibration. The faces of my compan-
ions were trapsforned The particular
animal type, which, according TO Lavater,
Is the basis Of every human countenance,
appeared to me strikingly clear. My right
hand neighbor became an oagls, he on my
left grew into an owl, with full, projecting
eyes; Immediately In front of me the man
was lion, while the doctor himself was
metamorphosed ilko fox.

Objects around mo seemed little by little
to clothe themselves in fantastic garb, tho
