The indigenous Filipino possesses fun
damental, rudimentary instruction what
we agree in calling primary instruction. g,
in, perhaps, as much or greater perfee-
ton than any other people in the world.
He shows himself DESTROYS of learning,
and the immense majority of the natives
can read, write and figure. He knows
the rudiments of religion and morality,
and shows happy disposition to ac-
auire that general tint of superficial cul-
ture which is all that the great mass OF
laboring people can aspire to anywhere
in the world. On this point statistics fur
nish us eloquent and irrefutable data
The number who cannot write is very
small, including the women, and the
number is much less of those who have
not learned to read, while those who
lack at least the most fundamental and
necessary religious and moral instruction
are very rare indeed. The correctness
of this observation may be proved if the
first native one meets, even III the most
remote sections, should be questioned, or
what would be still easier, by examining
recruits in the army, who are drawn us
ually from the poorest masses of the
people-From "The Native Population o
the Philippines" by Juan Caro- y Mora

AN APPEAL FOR F|LL|PNOS.

Chinese Americans Sign An Appeal TO
the Lovers of Freedom-To stop the
War Against the Tnsurgents-Numbs
of Promenent Men Have Signed It.

Boston. March l5.--An appeal TO the
people of the United States urging al
lovers of freedom" to cooperate with
them in an attempt TO induce the govern
ment to suspend hostihties in the Philip
pines and confer with the Philippine lead
ers with a view to preventing further
bloodshed by recognizing their independ-
ence under the guarantee OF the protection
to property by the natives, has been Is
sued over the signature of more than a
score of prominent men.
The preamble, on the attitude of this
government and President Mckinley be-
fore and since the war, asserts that there
is no reason for change OF opinion on
the part of anti-imperialists and, on the
contrary, every reason for continuance
of the protest against the spirit of mill
tarism and force and they therefore urge
cooperation to the following ends:
"First-That our government shall take
immediate steps toward a suspension OF
hostilities in the Philippines and con-
ference with the Philippine leaders with a
view to preventing further bloodshed upon
the basis of a recognition OF their free
dom and independence as soon as proper
guarantees can be had of order and pro
lection to property.
''Second-That the government of the
United States shall tender an official as
surance to the inhabitants of the Philip
pine islands that they win encourage and
assist in the organization and upon its or
ganization in a stable manner the United
States, in accordance with the traditions
in such cases, will recognize the independ
ence of the Philippines and its equality
among nations and gradually withdraw
all naval and military forces"

General Miller's command advancing into
the cocoanut plantations at the right OF
the line.
General Miller, fearing an organized
and strong attack upon the town, had re-
quested assistance from the Boston in
landing. Captain Wilde was unable 20
accede to this request, owing to the fact
that portion of the crew was at Cebu
1t was at first expected that the Cali
fornians would land and assist General
Miller's forces, but on landing the Her
AIDS correspondent met General Miller
returning from the field and learned that
it was only false alarm.
Iloilo was terribly wrecked by the in
surgent incendiaries and presents scene
OF desolation. Great warehouses were to-
tally wrecked.
General Miller and his staff are conf
dent that they can hold the town. The
insurgent strength is not definitely
known, but it is believed that there are
1000 men armed with firearms and 1000
bolas. They follow similar tactics TO
those at Manila, dropping irritatingsshots
into the American lines throughout the
night, but never appearing in sufficient
strength to justify a resolute forward
movement Few casualties are reported.

found a native guard of honor drawn up
on the beach. The inhabitants were ami
