There is still left, however, the
strangest and widest of all the groups.
We have seen somewhat of the Taga-
log and Visayan peoples, and found
them exhibiting no very marked differ
ences of race. But, If we take one Of
the southern line of steamers, which
touches at Palawan, the Sulu group,
and Mindanao, we find ourselves in
quite another world. The fiesta-lov-

tive lawyer. When it had gone on for
a certain time the prosecutors adviser
proposed an EXTRA judicial arrange
ment.'"
Mr.. Foreman gives several examples
from his own knowledge, which it Is
unnecessary to quote--cases in which
the miserable defendant was slowly
but surely stripped of his possessions
and ruined. Instances Of official swind-
ling, the same author tells us, are far
too numerous for him to attempt to
include them in his volume. Mr.. Lala
mentions several; and every traveller
could add literally to the list from his
own experiences. The outbreak of the
insurrection in 1896 afforded excellent
opportunities to those who knew how
to profit by them. They had but to hint
at the sympathies of q prosperous
neighbor with the cause, and the thing
was done. One must go back to the
days Of the Inquisition to find paral-
lei. Later, during the war; when
thumbscrews and other forms Of tor
ture We're used, what wonder that re-
taliation followed! If, as is reported,
the insurgents on more than one occa-
sion roasted their captives alive, their

SPECIMEN ATROCITIES.
OF the cruelties practised before the
war we have abundant stories-stories,
as we have said, which, in these hyper
sensitive days of the waning century,
seem well-nigh incredible. Unmerciful
floggings of those unable to pay their
taxes, enforced deportation of families
to districts it was desired to Settle"
fines and beatings for non-attendance
at mass, offences against women, and
numerous other brutalites-all these
We're of everyday occurrence. Profess
sor Worcester tells us what he saw
with his own eyes. After describing
an instrument he found in Negros, a
bamboo pole furnished at the end with
long ropes of the bejuco, plant creep
er bearing most formidable recurved
thorns, he goes on to explain its use.
They were employed it seems, to catch
dcfaultng taxpayers. The house of
the victim being surrounded, he was
called upon TO surrender
IF he attempted to escape, one or
| more Of the man-catchers was Topped
against him, and after that he had 9TH
| er things to think of! When the
cuadrileros returned with their morn
ing's catch there followed a scene
| which was not pleasant to look upon.
| Each captive was compelled to strip to
| the waist and lie down on a bench,
| where he was flogged in a most scien-
! tifc manner. The stripes were inhict-
| e7 with n rattan, which cut the skin
| and brought blood with the firs5 blow,
| and were laid on diagonally across the
! back, first from the right side and then

SPANISH MISRULE.

To greed were due the sitting of all
commerce and industry and taxes and
tariffs which would be tolerated by no
civilized nation in the world, the
shameless injustice meted out to those
who sought the courts with empty
purses, the system of repression which
has goaded an ordinarily placid and
easy-going people to madness. In the
train Of greed followed the twin sis
ters, cruelty and lust, which have
caused the name Of Spain to be exc
Grated throughout the land. 1t would
be almost impossible to believe some
of the stories which have been record
ed, not Of the criminal or lower classes
Of Spaniards, but of the officials and
friars, were they not authenticated by
the best possible authorities, such for
example as Mr.. Foreman and Prof.
Worcester. That the condition of the
law courts should he thoroughly cor
rupt was a mere drop in the unhappy
natives cup of misery. Still. this is
how Mr.. Foreman speaks OF it:
"A criminal or civil lawsuit in the
Philippines was one Of the worst calam-
tiles which could befall man. Between
notaries, procurators, solicitors, barlis-
tSlS, anu lHe SluBBlSn process of the
| courts,a litigant was feeced of his mon
ey, and kept in horrible suspense and
| doubt for years. When judgment was
| given 1t was as hard TO get it executed
| as it was to win the case Even then,
| when the question at issue was sup
| posed to be settled, a defect in the sem
tence could always be concoCted to re-
| open the whole affair. If the case had
been tried, and judgment given under
| the Civil Code, way was often found
| TO convert IL into a criminal case; and
| when apparently settled under the
| Criminal Code, a flaw could be discov-
| cred under the Laws of the Indies or
the Siete Partidas, or the Roman Law
| or the Novisima Recopilacion, or the
| Antiques Fueros, DEGREES, Royal Or
ders, Ordenanzas de Buen Gobierno,
and so forth, by which the case could
be re-opened A person who had
not a cent to lose could prosecute an
other OF means, by a trumped-up ac-
| cusation, until he was ruined, by an
information de pobreza"-a declara-
| tion Of Doverty-which enabled the
| prosecutor to keep the case going as
| long as he chose without needing mon
| ey for fees. A case OF this kind was
often got up at the instigation of a ma
