may desire to settle down and earn wa
ges. To receive money must be a nov
ell thing for a Spanish soldier for he
never got his pay regularly, and what
he got was pretty well sweated before
it reached him, as everyone from gen.
eral to corporal wanted toll.
At Santiago General Toral returned
$4,000 men surrendered, but 10000 only
went back to Spain. At Cienfuegos out
of $4,000 Spanish troops assembled only
%, 1853 returned to Spain, according to
the United States lists. 1t is argued
that therefore a number of Spanish
soldiers remained in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, the estimate be-
ing 10000
But though undoubtedly large num-
bers have managed to remain 1T must
be kept in mind that the surrender lists
were Spanish figures, while the return
lists are United States figures. The
Spanish officers had an interest in
swelling their number for they drew
pay for the paper soldiers, and pocket
ed it. The latter figures were exact.
A considerable percentage must be al
lowed off the $4,000 But anyhow the
Spanish soldiers remain, and American
statesmen are beginning to think what
effect they will have on the population.

The two cent rate not having been
extended to the Hawaiian Islands,
there is quite tax upon people here
paying extra rates for underpaid let
ters. But we are by no means the on
ly sufferers in the world. When the
Imperial penny postage went into force
between Great Britain and a number
of her colonies, Australia and the Cape
of Good Hope did not see their way
clear to it's adoption. The consequence
is that people residing in those parts of
are world are in the same box we are
and have to cash up for underpaid let
ters. In the early years of next cen
tury we shall get civilized enough tC
have a universal rate and a universe
stamp. Following that will come uni
versal coinage, but that is half cen
fury or a century off. There might be
a universal coinage among the Anglo
Saxon states however.

The Rev. A. Macintosh, principal
of the Royal school, calls attention in
the Anglican Church Monthly, to the
passion for gambling among the young
Hawaiians and Portuguese. No man
in the country has better knowledge of
such things than he. Moreover, Mr..
Macintosh is not afraid, when he sees
a wrong, to speak of it openly. 1t is
to be hoped that other teachers see
things as readily as he does, and apply
as speedy a remedy. 1t is far better
to acknowledge an evil and attempt to
cure it, than to close the eyes to it and
pretend that it does not exist A great
many people are prone to avail them
selves of the latter course and breed
hypocrisy broadcast.

One of the great difficulties in deal
ing with the Filipinos is their intense
ignorance of any affairs outside their
own villages. The celebrated old Dem
ocrat who still continues to vote for
Jackson is a man of great enlighten-
ment beside the Filipino. In Novem-
Der last, when Paymaster Wilcox made
a tour into the interior of Luzon he
found that the officers in charge of Fill
Pine garrisons had no idea of the Paris
conference, or how that conference
might and did affect them. OF course
Aguinaldo and a few men around him
know fairly what is going on, but ev-
en- they miscalculate through igno-
rance of forces. AS for the common
people they are ready to believe any
nonsense or lies told them, and if they
were informed that American soldiers
habitually fed on babies they would
credit the story. And much pernicious
rubbish, nearly as bad, has been told
them.
