Killed Crossing the
Tracks.

The body of a man with his head
crushed was found lying beside the Lee

til midnight. Spitzmuller then started

GERMAN ADMIRAL 5 VIEW
A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF
THE PHILIPPINES
Report to the Imperial German Cove
eminent Upon Climatic Conditions,
Population and Future Prospects.

Admiral Pluddemann in reporting to
the Imperial German Government
writes in the following concise terms
of the Philippines:
The area of the nearly 1900 islands
composing the Philippines is very re-
spectacle, rather larger than that OF
Italy. There is chance of a safe,
quiet. Coasting trade, as there are
countless channels, secure against all
storms. The climate is tropical. From
November to February Cthe cool sea-
SOM, the climate suits Europeans re-
markably we'll The other months are
less agreeable, but the people need not
be unhealthy, if due precautions are
taken from a sanitary point of view.
The bubOnic plague has never been in
the Philippines, but typhoid and small
poX claim many victims. Manila is
healthful, since a magnanimous Span
| lard presented the city with an ade-
quate supply of pure water.
The worst plaques of these islands
| are hurricanes, insects and earth
! quakes. The soil, however, is incredib-
/ ~ rich, rice, sugar tobacco, and above
| all, Manila hemp, being the chief eX-
| ports. There is plenty of coal and of
| good quality, as the railroad from Ma
| Mia to Dagupan, of which some 100
miles are in working order, shows
The Inhabitants have hardly changed
since the Spaniards annexed the group
| They are divided into over fifty diff
| ferent nationalities, the Malays being
| the most numerous. OF whites there
are only 10000 of Chinese and their
relatives by inter- marriage with the
natives 100000. There are 100000 Ne.
| gritos in the interior who are entirely
| independent. Besides the national diff
ferences, religious differences prevail
One of the chief objects of the Span
ish kings who encouraged annexation
and colonization was the salvation o
souls. But this ideal purpose was bad
ly accomplished by the missionaries
sent out to do their work under tn
protection of Spanish bayonets. Out
wardly they converted the natives WIN
nevertheless retained many of the hea
! then customs peculiar to their district
: In reality these missionaries, secure i
the protection granted to them by tn
home government, made slaves of tn
natives. In the south they never mad
any Roadway, for that has been con
verified to Mohammedanism. The mort
has now adopted n kind of bastar
Catholicism, but there are many diff
ferent sects which unite only in on
I thing-their hate of the foreigner.
There have been many rebellion
generally put down by the Spaniard
with comparatively small loss; but tn
Spaniards never attempted to rule til
interior. The last rising was put dow
by Polavieja, who, in order to get ri
of the rebels, offered them none!
Agunaldo accepted 100000, but h
quarrelled with his comrades about tt
division of the bride. In the meantim
- the Americans furnished the rebe
= with arms and ammunition, promise
y them independence, and obtained the
J help against the Spaniards.

THE WINE OF JAPAN.

Saki has been used in Japan for up
wards of 1000 years. 1t is made from
rice, the grain being first steamed and
then impregnated with a species IF
ferment. AS soon as the impregnatiOn
has occurred. the rice is mixed with
water, and submitted to fermentation.
The yeast used in the formation is
prepared from rice straw on which the
steamed and impregnated rice is spread
out before it is prepared for fermenta-
ton. Under the influence of the fer
ment and the yeast, all Of the starch
of the rice is taken up, so that the
product has the character of wine,
and is hence called rice wine. Saki,
when ready for use, contains from IA
per cent to 16 per cent OF alcohol, or
is about five times as strong as our
beer
