tons. but they are very rarely found.
The former class represents the intelli-
gence of the islands, the latter the ignor-

A more ~good-natured, %credulous, lazy
individual than the pure-blooded Tagal
it would be difficult to imagine. Long
years of oppression have left their STAMP
upon him until today he has no desire for
prosperity, and is satisfied with a manner
of existence that even a Chinaman would
Scorn.
If left to himself he would be harmless
enough, but he is SO simple minded that
he can be imposed upon by the half
breed men, who believe that independence
would enable them to control a condition
that would result in considerable tinan-
cial profit to themselves. OF course these
classes only exist in the cities and towns
of the and In the interior there are
savages that constitute such a large part
of the revolutionary ~army-savages who
have not learned to wear clothing and
who do not know what they are fighting
about.
Manila as a city is surprise to Ameri-
cans who see it for the first time. For
some reason they have learned to expect
a Semi-barbarOuS condition., and they are
astonished 10 see the large commercial
buildings. the magnificent residences, the
~well-paved II well-kept streets and the
beautiful drives that have made Manila
a comfortable and rather pleasant place
of abode.
What makes the city more picturesque,
however, is that here are blended the civ
ilization of the east with the civilization
Of the west-Europe Of the sixteenth CEN
fury and the Asia Of today. There are
the cathedrals, the manasteries and the
converts, the religious professions, the
pageants Of old Spain, and by their side
the modern buildings Of the great com
mercial houses. 1t is said that before the
arrival of the American soldiers dir and
filth predominated everywhere, but these
conditions have now been largely over
come, and whatever may be said of Gen.
eral Otis as a military committeeman

been in the habit of doing, and Their has
cabled for the goods that could not be OBJ
tanned in other stores. AS a result he is
making money, and the other merchants
are dazed by this exhibition of enterprise.
/ suppose hat in time the American
merchant and his clerk will be just as
lazy as others who have been doing bust
ness here for years, but at present he is
industrious enough. He devotes his en-
tire day to his business and hurries about
the streets on foot just as if he wede still
in the United States.
The foreign and native merchants, how
ever, provide a striking example of the
~laziness that is inspired by the climate.
They never walk a step outside of their
offices. Generally their carriage stands
at the door, but if not they call one of the
cabs, of which there are many in every
street. The hours that are devoted to
business are also matters for surprise to
the hustler who has been used to Ameri-
can ways. In Manila men go to their
work at daylight and remain Until noon,
when they rest for two or three hours,
returning to work till 5 { o'clock. 1t has al
ways been the practice to give each en-
ploye one years vacation out of each
seven as a "home leave" Besides this he
is entitled to one months vacation each
year, to a good holiday each month, and
no one in Manila would think of working
OF a Sunday or a saints day.
AS the result there have been about 100
days in each year on which the people
have done no work, and while American
competition may compel a change in this
method of procedure, it is predicted that
instead, the Americans themselves will
soon come to accept the conditions that
nave prevailed for so long, and that after
they have become acclimated they will
be no more anxious to perform mental or
manual labor than the natives them
selves.
While the wages for ordinary labor In
Manila are very low, comparatively large
salaries are paid to persons who hold
good positions in the mercantile houses
The ordinary salaries range from 81, 800 to
$4,000 a year, and each employee is also
provided with lodgings. a mess allowance
sufficient to meet ordinary living ex-
penses, medical attendance and all trav-
cling charges.
To the American business men whom 1
have interviewed the outlook in Manila
seems very bright. There is a good mar
ket here, and plenty of money and mod
ern goods have never been introduced.
AS soon as h re~vOlutiOnists have been
subdued. therefore, 1t Is believed that

The large business houses have recovered
from the effects of the blockading, and
are doing their best to bring the smaller
dealers to their senses. The latter, how
ever, have devoted their time to long dis
cusslons as TO the a~dvislbility of going
out Of business and their fears have not
been assuaged by the fact that the more
ignorant of the Chinese and Spanish mer-
chants have done nothing but talk of go
ing home ever since the war ended.
OF late, however, there has been an in
huX Of hustlers from the United States,
and they are going ahead to make money
in a manner that is simply astounding to
the old shop keepers whose Anticipated
methods of doing business seem ridicu-
lous to GUS who is familiar with Ameri-
can habits of trade.
In the past it has been their practice
to send an inventory of their stock to
Spain twice a year. There the inventory
has been gone over and the articles that
seemed to be needed have been sent back.
If in a few weeks any particular arti-
Gle has been sold out the merchant has
not sent for a new supply, but has waited
patiently for the Semi-annaul stOck-tak-
ing. The newly arrived American has not
been bound by any such rules. He has felt
the pulse of the market just as he has

before they are competent to govern
themselves, and the government is wise
an attempting to keep control of the
islands as long as it is determined to own
them.
What is needed. however. is a more ag-
srsssive policy on the part of the mill
1ary officials in charge of affairs here, for
2 revolution that exists in the mountain
and forests jungles is just as much to be
dreaded as i il we're being carried on in

t1pln@s han ? great deal = respect fo- the
American government They had seen
Admiral Dewey destroy the Spanish fleet
and the def=nses in z few hours. They
knew tia other naval and military COM
71anders had been just as successful in
other parts Of the world, and it required
considerable nerve to put themselves in
opposition to such a power.
That they have succeeded so we'll in
their conflict against us, however, has
given them new courage, and the longer
we put off the determination Of the revO-
lutionary army the more difficult it will
be to conquer them at last. Our mistake
has been in not sending a sufficient force

for the opinion that now prevails is that
we are a very much over-estimated ma

our policy, wise or otherwise-is to inaug-
urate a new system of warfare that will
result in the complete downfall Of Aguin-
aldo and his party, for the only way in
which w can have peace on the stands is
to overWhelm the native leaders with de-
feat and drive them from the country.
If they are permitted to remain we shall
simply nave a series of revolutions that
will keep us in hot water all the time. but
If they are disposed of, quiet may at last
be obtained.
While this may not agree with the opin-
ions of some American people, it is the
truth of the matter, and it would be bet
ter for us to withdraw entirely and leave
the islanders to work out their own de-
struction than to adopt any other course.
The natives of the Philippines are COM
posed of two distinct classes, the an
neXationists and the independents. To
the former belong the well-to-do people
of the islands, who realize that their lives
and property would be safe only under
such a government as the United States
would give them. To the latter belong
the shiftless natives, who have nothing
to lose and everything to gain by self

ODD CLIENT.

Chicago Tribune: A junior member of
a Dearborn street law firm tells this story
of one of his first clients:
IT had just been appointed a Junior
member of the firm and relieved the Older
members by looking after the minor
cases. One day a well-appear.ng man
called at the office and inquired If I could
give him an hour of my time, and what
would be the cost. I told him., and he &C.
cepted the terms, but added:
"'This is not to be a consultation. l
do not want advice or assistance. I know
perfectly we'll what I am going to do, but
I want to talk. I have no friend to whom
can unburden myself, but if I pay you
to listen I shall have a right to talk to
you freely for the time agreed upon
st agreed to this strange proposition
and appointed an hour at noon the fol-
lowing day. The man came promptly.
and took out cigars and told the office
boy we were not to be disturbed for an
hour.
Mind the man said. 4 don't want
you to interrupt me. l am laying you to
listen.'
Then he began. For one hour he talk
ed as one who never in his life had unbur-
dened himself to a sympathetic listener.
I listened without saying a word. When
the clock struck 1 the man ceased fixing,
paid his fee, took up his hat, M walked
out.
six months later, looking over the
daily paper, the story of a suicide at one
Of the hotels attracted my attention. The
name was that OF my laxative client. I
have always believed that II he had had
some one to talk to again he would not
have committed suicide"

round. The Spaniards, who still remain,
and the Mestizo, or half-breed native, go
in for more finery, but the native cos
tune is more popular with pepole who
care more for comfort than for style. "a
AS a rule the Filipino women are at
tractive, and many of them are really
beautiful. They love jewelry, and are
fond of display. and while never wearing
hats or gloves, their clothing is often Of
the finest texture, beautifully embroid-
cred and trimmed with the most magnifi-
cent lace. The better class of women
wear shoes, but this is a luxury that is
practically unknown among the poorer
classes.

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-08-12

Manila, July 2.-When the United
States accepted the Philippines as one of
dts new colonia possessions it annexed
q veritable hornets nest that will con-
tinue to cause trouble for the govern
ment until every revolutionist has been
in a state of revolt. They have formulated
TebellionS that have been nothing more
than revolts against a particularly un-
popular governor, and they have inaug-
urated revolutions against the govern
ment as a whole.
In fact, it might be said that the history
of the islands has proved that the people
absolutely will not be controlled, and no
one who has met them in their own land
can feel surprised that such a condition
of affairs has existed, for it cannot be de-
MED that as a rule they are the least in
telligent of our new colonists.
OF course there are intelligent and we'll
educated Filipinos, men and omen Who
would compare favorably with many
more civilized races. but they do not conf
pose the mass and file of the inhabitants
of the island, who are avage pure and
simple.
They may wear American clothing and
may affect European airs, but they cam
not conceal the savergy that is the con-
trolling characteristic in their makeup.
Such people had rather fight than be at
peace, for to fight means a long eXcur-
sion for thenl-an excursion during which
they will be provided with food and
plenty of excitement and occasional ia
talities have no more effect upon them
h upon any other savage people.
While it is true that there are men con-
nected with the revolutionary cause who
have intelligence enough to formulate a
certain form Of government, there are
comparatively few such men. and the
past has shown that wen they are most
corruptible. To place the government in
their hands, therefore, would be to leave
the islands at the mercy Of q lot of half
breeds, and we should be kept busy in
putting down the revolutions that they
would certainly start among themselves.
The acautal fact is that it will be years
