ernment notwithstanding that the pure
 whites of the island-that is, those de-
 scend from Europeans and 1ndians-com-
 pose two-thirds of the population But
 negro rule might have been tolerated had
 not the negroes virtually undertaken to
 drive the whites out. By oppression, con-
 fiscaton, Imprisonment, murder, and what
 not, they have tried to make the island
 place the white man could not live in. The
 white men, who comprise also the major
 ity of the educated, enlightened and lib-
 eral people, have concluded to take things
 into their own hands and institute a de-
 cent government"
 'Then the civil war is really on racial
 lines?"
 "Oh. mol Oh. no!' exclaimed both MT
 Grullon and the friend of Jimenez "No,"
 continued MT. Grulon, in alarm, i've can not afford to say that; there are too man: negroes in the island, and some of them are educated, good people,"
 "Jimenez himself" continued the friend, was on excellent terms with Heureaux The latter has said to me- I have nothing
 whatever against Jimenez; I wish he would come here; I will do everything I can to help him. But Jimenez knew better than to take Heureaux at his word. They were on most excellent terms but JimeneZ was the only Dominican whom Heureaux fear i ed at the head of a revolution, and so he | didn't really want him around in any ac- | tive capacity. But all the time their busi- ness relations continued. Jlmenez built 0 | canal, diverted river to its old mouth at | Monte Christi, reclaimed a large logwood | district from swamps, and in return re- | ceived from the government a title to all l the district. Then Jmenez exported log | wood, and 1t was the foundation of his for | tune. By and by, JimeneZ wrote to Heu- | reaux that he could no longer make such | profits on his haywood, unless the export | duties were reduced. Heureaux accord | ingly reduced them, and JimeneZ again ex- | ported at a great profit. It was throughout | a perfectly business-like and legitimate | transaction"
 | Were the export duties similarly re- duced for other exporters of logwood, or l for Jimenez alone?"
 | .I don't know. I suppose so. How was | that, Grullon?"
 l For the benefit of all exporters-in that | district" replied MT. Grullon, hastily. - | And it is to be remembered" put in the | friend, that Mr. Jimenez was by all odds | the principal exporter of logwood-sent out | more than ten times as much as all the | others combined Hence, even if the reduce | tion was made for his exclusive beneht, no- | body else's interests were much hurt. | By and by, JimeneZ found that he nao | given Heureaux ,000 and that the latter | was demanding more. He felt that he had | reached the limit of his generosity in tnis | direction, and he refused to give again.
 Then he and Heureaux ceased to be such | cordial friends as they had been. Still, the | logwood concession was not revoked put l 1t had been profitless for some time on ac-
 count of the rise in aniline dyes"

To take Manila was an easy matter, for in Manila the new government is welcomed, but from Manila we can grad ually extend our influence until we control the situation in Luzon. At the same time the missionary work can be extended to the other islands where we can maintain our sovereignty in such a manner as to win the respect and esteem of the natives, and, at last, if we are as patient as we are

 Silas G. Pratt, the composer of the opera "Zenobia" "Prodgal Son. and "Tem- pest" symphonies, and the "Allegory of the War in Song" has just completed a work for grand orchestra, in honor of Admiral Dewey, and descriptive of his remarkable naval achievement at Manila, which has been offered to the Dewey plan and scope committee. The piece, which is in the na- ture of a symphonic fantasia, is of about fifteen minutes in duration. 'The historic event offers a splendid opportunity for musical treatment" Mir. Pratt declares, 'in that the retirement of Dewey and his fleet furnishes a contrasting episode of repose, and the resumption of the battle permits of a repetition which is so essential to the form of any composition for orchestra" Beginning with "the night before the bat tie at Manila" the composer introduces a sunset effect as also bit of bright music in the Spanish "eochouca" dance, which furnishes a prelude of pleasure.
 In describing the actual conflict, MT. Pratt has chosen for the Americans the theme Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean," while the Spaniards are represent ey by the Spanish national hymn and the impetuous Bolero, from Moszchowski' g Spanish dances. In the interval, My Country, Iris of Thee" forms an under tone to "reminiscences of the battle, and colloqual treatment of Spanish themes, with a little musical badinage. For the closing measures depicting emotions of exultation, joy, and gratitude, the com- poser has woven in with Columbia, Thou Gem of the Ocean," the lively strains of "Dixie Band," and the more dignified Star Spangled Banner" the combinations of the three forming the final climax.

its vegetation is profuse and varied and it's internal resources are as great as those of any other island in the archipelago. In ad- dition to this 1t is free from typhoons and would be an ideal place to live if its inhab- itants were of q more civilized class. As 1t is, however, they are savages pure and simple and no amount of Spanish effort was sufficient to bring them under control
 Of course the natives who live near the coast are better class than the war-like tribes that infest the mountains but that is not saying much and at the present mo- ment there are parts of this beautiful is- land that would be somewhat unsafe places for an American to take up his abode. The

not capable of self-government. That this is fact beyond dispute no one who has visited the islands can deny, and no amount of argument on the part of anti-imperial- ists can alter the facts I do not deny that there are a number of Filipinos, es- pecially Tagals and Mestzos, who are in- telligent enough to govern themselves but they are in the hopeless minority, consti- tuting, as estimated by ex-Consul General Studer, about oneIhalf of one per cent of the inhabitants. To expect them to rule over the other islands and over tribes who still live in a most primitive state of civ iizaton, not to say practical savagery, would be too much.

If republican form of government should be established, with Aguinaldo at the head, it would last just so long time as 1t would take the other islands to re- volt. When that time came Luzon would be powerless and the new government would fall. To listen to the ambitious and restless element that constitutes the brains of the revolutionary party is mistake that no reasonable man should make, for to leave the fate of the Philippines in the hands of these people would be no better than to turn them back to ,.pain with its brutality and. oppression.

 this part of the world, has expressed the opinion in a recent letter that it will be at least fifty years, under the most favorable circumstances, before the natives or all the Philippines can be regarded as suffi- cientIv advanced for self-government. and with this opinion nearly all persons who are acquainted with the subject fully agree. Aguinaldo and the members of his iuntas know this but they will not admit it and are doing all in their power to con ceal the truth just as they are trying to

The inhabitants of Luzon consist of prac- tically three races of people, the civilized and the uncivlized Malays and the Negri- to- Of the Malays the better class form the mass of the population and occupy the coast towns and the fertile valleys, while the uncivilized tribes make their homes in the mountains of the interior. While the former are good agriculturalsts in their primitive waq, the latter live chief ly by hunting and fishing and are not pleasant people to come in contact with.

fertility of the island is remarkable, how ever, and its exportable products far ex- ceed in number those of Luzon. Its one great curse is its people and this is a con- dition that prevails in many of the smaller islands.
 The island of Negros lies between Panay and Cebu, and as 1t is one of the least fer tile of the group. it is but poorly populated while Leyte, which lies east of Cebu, has so many natural advantages that it may be said that it's future is assured.

five miles along the mountain side,
which for engineering and masonry is
u wonderful and costly work. Its con-
struction ran up into the millions OF
dollars. One riding along 1t can over
look the principal parts OF the city and
at points see down perpendicularly on
the tops of buildings several hundred
feet below. The palstial residences of
foreigners along the road and the
streets below are built on fats made by
stone walls and excavations from the
mountain side.
The water of the harbor along the
pier is lined with Chinese boats called
junks and sampans. These float side
by side for miles along the front. The
junks are trading and fishing boats and
the sampans are of the canoe order for
quick movements in the harbor and not
for sea. Children are born, grow up
and die on these little sampans with no
other comforts through life than they
afford. Parents living in these sam
pans are generally willing to sell their
children at very low rates. ranging
anywhere from five to fifty dollars.
One father and mother offered us
pretty little girl about five years old
for $50 as their first price, which, ac-
cording to custom, was subject to re-
duction of 80 or Is per cent, and some
times more. We did not invest.

one vacant room which we could take
