rule has never been asserted here EXCEPT
at q few points along the coasts. The
natives Of Mindanao are especially
bloodthirsty. The Moslem population Of
Basilan. Sulu and Tawee- Tawee are still
independent. In some parts Of Luzon
and In Panay and Samar there are wild
Malay tribes who fight with spears and
poisoned arrows. and in past years
thousands Of Spanish soldiers have met
death at their hands. In Mindoro and
Palawan the Spanish have been more
successful than they have elsewhere
The varied native races are known as
Negrotes. Mohammedans, Malays and
pagan Malays, and all the various tribes
can be brought under one Of these
classes Probably the most warlike are
the Moros. who are found chiefly on
Mindanao and the Zebus. But in some
instances they have taken kindly to
Spanish rule. and with proper treat
ment it will be possible for us to make
orderly people Of them.
The question of dealing with the ma.
tive tribes 10 only one Of the many ra-
cial problems to be met. These native
classes compose not more than one-half
the population Of the islands. The
mixed native and foreign class the
mestizos. are an important factor in
