Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-07-08
The Case of Mindanao.

A lesson for all colonzing governments may be
learned from Spains experience with Mindanao.
That island, though discovered by Spanish navi-
gators in the sixteenth century, was never con-
quered. SPANS sovereignty there was merely no.
mnal. The inhabitants are Mohammedans. They
showed disposition to submit to Spain at the
beginning, reserving only their religious beliefs
but Spain would not accept their submission TIN
less they consented to be baptzed.in the Catholic
faith. The result was that Spain had a war of
three centuries with the people of Mindanao who
retained the greater part of their territory, Spain
possessing only the coasts
Senior Estevanez predicts that Mindanao will
offer less resistance to the United States than
Luzon and the other islands. By means of toll
erance and commerce, he says, the Americans can
accomplish in a few months what the Spanards
failed to do in little more than three centuries.
In conclusion, Senior Estevanez declares that
as Spaniard he deplores his country's reverses,
but that he considers them deserved, and that
Spain will some day rejoice in them if true free
dom is established in the Philippines.
whether it is made an independent republic or
is incorporated in the United States, the inhab-
itants of the Philippine archipelago must at last
be allowed to enjoy liberty and the dignity OF
manhood, which were trampled upon by impure
priests and by merchants without conscience
during the long dominion of Spain. "-Noyh

peror of China. And here again the veil of mys-
terry falls, and we know no more.
"All we do know is that just before the coup
detdt last September the Emperor's chosen adj
vsers and it seems Kwangshu himself, were con-
sidering whether to proclaim Christianity as the
religion of China, and that when the coup detat
occurred Kang Yu Wei before flying by the EN-
peror's advice went for counsel to the mission
AIRY, Timothy Richard, the man who has done
more probably than any other man to reform
China and prepare her people to be brought under
Christian influences This again looks as if the
Testament had been read, if not by the Empress
to whom it was given, with its costly binding and
casket, by him to whom it was not given, Kwan-
slu, whose soul after all must be as precious in
the sight of Him on high as that of the poor
coolie.''
The writer holds him to be noteworthy young
man, who dared all to improve the condition of
the empire. She concludes:
IF not by the side of Luther yet by the side
of such failures as Rienz or Savonarola, the
large brilliant eyes of Kwangshu may fairly look
out upon the world.
But there is one great all-important difference.
kwangshu is yet alive. Oh, the pity of it that no
European power saw its way to stand by him and
the youth of China"

Japan Prefers America.

1T is true, as Japan and all the world know.
that America, Anglo-SaXon though she u.s. in EN-
tering the field of colonial empire enters it as a
novice, and is likely, therefore, to make egregious
plumbers at the start 1t is also true, and patent
to all acquainted with the present political con-
diton of the republic that its civil service, now
in only its first stages of genuine REFORM is almost
wholly lacking in material for the new field of
work; that America has not and cannot have for
many years anything like the corps of trained
colonial administrators to whom England owes in
large measure her splendid success. Yet Japan
would much rather see America than England
in possession of the Philippines All the dangers
Just now pointed out as incident to colonial enter
prise are recognized as merely incidental and tenn
porary Deep down under all these surface indi-
cations Japan the clear grit, the indontable
pluck and the sober common sense of Our race
The want of experience, the lack of material for
administrative service, and the initial opportuni-
ties for corruption are shortcomings which she
percelves must sooner or later disappear before
the strength of the Anglo Saxon nature reenforc-
ed by the ingenuity, the fertility of resource the
conscious freedom, and the eager enterprise
which distinguish the American branch of that
nasterful race.
1T is for this reason that Japan. instinct with
the spirit of progress as she now is. has glad
welcome for America in the East Strong in her
synpatlies for country which, like herself, has
too long dwelt in selfish isolation, she longs to
see America, well fitted for the task by race
and training, take up the new responsibilities
thrust upon her, and give the impress of her char
acter to this world of the Orient that is so greatly
in need of such influence. Japan would not give
one of her cruisers for the possession of the
Philippines; but she would lend America the
whole navy of which she is so proud could
she have for her near neighbor the nation whose
friendship she trusts"

though with abundant opportunities surrounding
him, Kwangshu has abstained from wine women
