! tax there is a tax on cocoanut trees, a
tax on beasts of burden, a tax on kill
1 ing animals for food, tax for keeping
! a shop, a tax on mills or oil presses, a
/ tax on weights and measures, a, tax on
cock fighting, and so on to the end of
the chapter. AT every turn the poor
native finds himself face to face with
tie dire necessity of paying tribute, and
he frequently spends his nfe in an in
effectual effort to meet the obligations
thus imposed.
Delinquent taxpayers are treated
with the utmost severity. The first
step is usually to strip them to the
waist, tie them to a bench or post, and
beat them numerically. I have seen
women subjected to this treatment. If
this does not suffice, Imprisonment fol-
lows, while pressure is brought to bear
on relatives and friends. Daughters
are not infrequently offered an oppor-
tunity to secure the liberation of a par
ent at the expense of their own honor
Should none of these methods prove
effective, deportation follows, with con-
fscation of property and the leaving
of women and children to shift for
themselves.

Equijor, because they owed taxes vary

they were to clothe and shelter them

amounted to deportation for life.
The great power in every native vii
lage is the padre, or village friar. Fri

hold parishes in any other part of the
world have no difficulty in securing

These wholesale butcheries came to

class. The following June the real
armed revolt broke out. General
Emilia Aguinaldo retired to the hills
beyond Manila with those who had
taken up arms, and the fight was on in
earnest. A so-called 'Tagal Republic"
was created, of which Andres Boni-

WARNING TO LAWN SPHINX.
IERS

The scarcity of water in some parts
/ of the city calls for the strict enforce
ment of the ordinance in relation to the
use of water The attention of all
! persons using lawn sprinklers is speci-
! ally called to the following provision
of the ordinance:
''Ssc. 10. Sprinklers for lawns. gardens
and yards must only be used for the
purposes paid for. No nozzle for
shrinking shall be allowed larger than
one-fourth of an inch in diameter, and
no sprinkling shall be allowed except
in connection with other water service.
The city is hereby divided into two
sprinkling districts. All that portion of
the city lying east and north of the
following boundaries is hereby made
and declared to be the upper Sprinkling
district, to-wit: Commencing at the
intersection of First West and Seventh
North streets and running thence south
along said First West street to Second

yards of lawn in the upper district, and
twenty minutes for the same area in
the lower district.
ANY person violating any of the pro-
visions of this section, or of any proc
lama ton made by the mayor in pursu-
ance thereof shall, on conviction, be
fined in any sum not exceeding ten
dollars for the first offense, and rot
exceeding twenty dollars for each sub

informed me that Philadelphia was
near Mexico, and referred feelingly to
the visit of George Washington to
Spain.
A sharp distinction should be drawn
between the friarS and priests. Among
the Mohammedan fanatics of the
southern island are to be found Jesuit
priests engaged in genuine missionary
work. One cannot but admire their
self-sacrilicing and intrepid courage
and their devotion to duty. So far as
my observation went, their lives were
above reproach, and it would be a
blessed thing for the Philippines should
the day ever come when the friars
were driven out and their places taken
by men like these.
Naturally the Philippine native is a
peaceabie, easy going fellow. Under a
decent form of government ne would
give little trouble. No one familiar
with existing conditions can doubt that
Spanish rule has been a curse to these
islands,. and it would be a happy day
for them should some civilized power
take possession of them. Their largest
cities are well nigh defenseless, and
could be readily captured unless de-
Tended by a powerful naval force.
