NOTES ABOUT MANILA.
The Natives and Their Habits and
Customs

Frank w. Vaille, now in charge OF
Uncle Sans postofice as it touches
the troops in the Philippines, writes,
under date of August 4, as follows to
L. E. Palmer, superintendent of mails
Pittsburg, Pa:
1.-THE Filipinos are a small-sized
people; a shade darker than the Japa-
nese, I would say. The native houses
are generally of one room built of
bamboo, the floor about three feet
from the ground and reached by a
bamboo ladder instead of steps. The
roofs are pitched rather steep, with
projecting caves, and the windows
are on hinges to open from the bot
tom. These windows CD are matched,
the same as the roof and balance of
the sides, with palms, so that when
the window is down the house is COM
pletely darkened. Spain had a tax
on every pane of glass, so that the ma
tives never had any in their houses.
In their churches they use shell win
dow-panes, and l send you a sample.
After the Spaniards were driven
from Cavite, a walled city on a neck
of land, the natives rushed in and
looted everything. The churches were
sacked, organs chopped to pieces and
images and affairs destroyed. Furni-
ture too heavy to be carried Off was
generally broken. They had chance
once to get even with their enemies,
as they thought, and they vented
their spite on the possessions of their
enemies. Before the Spaniards were
driven out they we're not allowed to
pass into the city, except on pass.
AS soon as the Spaniards had been
driven out they vacated their native
huts and moved into the stores and
residences inside, and still hold pos
session. You can see that their
clothes are rather too large for them,
and that with stool or two and a
candle they feel lost. An early morn
ing stroll through that portion of the
town discloses the fact that the prin-
cipal occupation of the ladies CD at
that time Of the day is to make a
critical examination of each others
scalps a la monkeys at the Zoo. Child
ron under 10 years wear no more than
shirt, and evidently feel proud if
they have succeeded in getting that
far advanced toward civilization. In
their habits they are filthy. They are
quick to catch the trading instinct and
to realize that Americans have much
desires" Prices have trebled since
we came. Every native who can get
hold of bunch of bananas, some or
anges, or anything in the eating line
brings it out to sell. Yesterday I was
over at Camp Dewey, below Manila
and the number of little stands on the
outskirts Of the camp reminded me of
county fair in the States. There
the resemblance stopped, however for
one could scarcely imagine anything
more foreign to the States than the
half-dressed natives and their bamboo
stands.
Their native vehicle is the cara
meta, two-wheeled cart, and the ma
tive horse that pulls it stands about
10 hands high in his stocking-feet.
Yesterday, after swimming into camp
from the boat, I found 7 could not get
a boat to return, the water being
rough, and so was compelled to return
by land about II miles. After con-

gled with the man and succeeded in
forcing him to his knees. Then after
some difficulty they put the handouts
over his wrists.
Roy gazed at him. His heart fell.

CHAPTER XVI.

Valerie Ross was chatting in her
pleasantest manner to Lady Darrell
when her quick ears caught the sound
of arrivals on the gravelled path
leading to the castle entrance. She
rose and went to the window. Her
quick eyes caught glimpse of Roy's
face, white and agitated, as he threw
himself from his horse and her heart
told her that something had hap
pened.
So great was her emotion that for
an instant film gathered over her
eyes She could distinguish no other
among the group of horsemen below,
and when the mist cleared away they
had all dismounted and had entered
the castle.
