es to deal with, such as the uncompro-
missing American spirit does not readily
adapt itself to. We shall be more alien
to the natives in some respects even
than the Spaniards; for in process OF
time they have succeeded in convert
ing large numbers OF the docile natives
to their religious views and the Span
ish priests, who have mastered the ma
tive languages, are a powerful infiu-
ence, in spite of the animosities their
rule has aroused, and the results OF
which are shown In seventeen consider
able rebellions in the last sixty years.
In 1876 the native insurgents lost
5000 OF their best men. In 1882 several
thousand more men and 600 of their
leaders were beheaded and shot to
death in squads at the garrisons at Ca
vite. The present rebellion broke out
last June and was quelled for a time
by Spanish troops. Last January 100
rebels were shot in the suburbs of Ma
Mia. Suddenly the rebellion broke out
again and now 1t seems to be the most
general revolt yet known in the is
lands. There are reported to be 10000
Spanish regulars on guard in the is
lands. The Insurgents last fall num-
bered about $4,000, OF whom 5000 were
armed with good guns.
