are comparatively few and are so weak
mentally and physically that it would be
difficult to make American citizens out of

possible civilization. All they would need
would be a small reservation, and if well
treated they would bother nobody"
How about the Igorrotes?"
Il don't know much about them" said
Gen. Grant. They are in the northeastern
part of Luzon. Ny campaigning has been
chiefly in the south and northwest. They
are. 1 am told, entirely different from the
Negritos and though savage, are a fine
race"
In Northwestern Luzon.
What kind of a country did you find in
northwestern LuZon. general?"
THE whole Of Luzon Is land of noun
tains and valleys. The northern part is
made up of ranges of mountains with fer
tile valleys between them. The valleys are
usually well cultivated, being covered with
rice fields and sugar plantations. Some of
the mountains are tremendous. They rise
up from the sea, in places sometimes reach
ing an altitude of five or six thousand feet
They are Of volcanic origin and the sides
Of many of them are covered with lava
In some sections there is a thin strata of
limestone over the lava. This gives forth

horseback, and 1 feared at times nv horse
might break through"
Timber Resources.
1.-THE most of the mountainous regions
are covered with a dense growth of vegeta-
ton and those which have any depth of
soil are heavily timbered. I saw large
tracts of magnificent trees, including many
varieties Of valuable hard woods 1 saw
houses and furniture made of the wood: it
is in many cases as hard as iron and il
takes polish like mahogany. 1 can't tell
you the varieties. You must remember
that was more interested in watching out
for the angry F1lipinos who might be hid
behind the trees with their guns than as
to how the trees would cut up for lumber
could see in passing that the timber is Of
immense value. About Subig bay, for in
stance. there are thousands of acres of vir-
gin forest which have never been touched
This timber is easily gotten at, for the
bay will admit the largest steamers. They
might. in fact, sail into it upside down if
such a thing were possible, and their masts

told, about 1900 feet deep. and a great

A Model Linen Room.

From the Boston Herald.
Modern houses of certain kind have es-
pecialy fitted linen rooms with an open
window admitting light and air. which all
closets should have. A model room con-
tains set of shelves of various depths in
closed with glass doors lined with pale
green silk. The shelves and wood work OF
the entire room are of polished cherry the
walls painted light buff and the hardwood
floor in blocks of yellow and black. Along
the sides Of the cases are long, deep draw
ers for holding bedspreads, blankets, elder
DOWNS &c. Another set of shelves contain
ing household effects are inclosed with
doors, and two large cedar chests bespeak
their office. A few chairs, large table
writing desk Pretty white muslin curtains
a window box of greenery, give an inviting
expression to this room, which, says Vogue
at night is well lighted by electric lights.
On the glass case shelves in three divisions
are placed table cloths and napkins. sheets
and pillow cases, towels. The shelves for
holding sheets and pillow cases have
sachets of thin India silk in pale green, FILL
ed with lavender, and similar sachets ap-
pear also On the towel shelves. Separate is
the middle division containing only table
napery. Each set throughout is grouped by
the dozen, ana clasped with pink ribbol
holders. strip of double-faced satin ribbt n
with gilt buckle at one end. On the other
end is a small parchment tag on which is
written the date of purchase and the num-
Der OF the set complete. A large linen book
bound in red linen contains full inventory
of the contents of the whole room, with
dates and the quantities supplied. This
hangs within easy reach. The tag ends of
the ribbons hang on the outside, making it
a simple matter to detect an error and TO
distinguish those in long use from the new
purchases as well as to keep changing the
linen SO as not to use the same set contin-
ucusly. The mistress of house should in
spect her linen loom at least once every
month with the woman housekeeper or
chambermaid who is held responsible

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
MANILA, February a. 1900.
I met Gen. Fred Grant today as he came
in from the field to consult with Gen Otis
about the operations in northern Luzon.
and later on had a chat with him about his
work and the people among whom he has
been campaigning. Gen. Grant came here
almost Immediately after leaving Porto
Rico. 1 saw him last at Ponce, having
travelled with him from San Juan around
the island. He looks today the picture of
health. and he tells me that he has been
we'll ever since he came to the Philippines.
He has been in the field and on the firing
line since last July. and has been cam
paigning in both the northern and southern
parts of Luzon
Our hrSt words were about Gen. Lawton,
whose body by the time this letter is pub
lished will have been Inferred in the United
States Said Gen. Grant:
THE death of Gen. Lawton was great
loss to the army, and l believe 1t was also
great loss to the Filipinos. Gen. Lawton
was their friend, although he fought them
to the death; He was big-hearted and gen
erous, and he often cautioned me that 1
should be careful in my treatment of the
people He wanted the wrongdoers and the
rebels punished, but that in such a way
that the natives here might realize that the
government was just and strong.
You were not near General Lawton at
the time of his death, were you, general?"
/ asked.
No; was in the mountains of the north
He was killed at San Mateo within short
distance Of Manila. He was in the front and
was as usual paying no attention to the
bullets flying about him. 1t has seemed
to me that he was not careful enough in
such matters. He enjoyed the action of
battle and was anxious to push the war to
a finish. He thought it was almost ended
and had advocated the increase of the
army that peace might come just as soon
possible"
Among the TagnlOgs.
Tell me something, general, about the
people among whom you have been cam
paigning?"

least; would be one grand, sweet song.
Leaving the garden We climb up over a
shoulder of the big Hill that curves round
Dawson. At the summit we find some rus
tic seats beside the trail. We wonder who
ever took the time to build them, when
labor in the mines. until recently, had been
worth S15 a Gay. Near by there is a sun

the police, who are always doing some
thing-blazing a trail, bridging stream or

Our trail lies along an almost level
stretch of stable land. There are a great
RAINY cabins along the trail, but very few
people. Some of the cabins are very pretty.
Many have double walls, filed with dirt

tiers are fixed to spell Iowa"

1t had rained in Dawson the day before.
The hills We're all washed clean. The little
garden, facing the east, bathed in sunlight,
smiled down on me like a pretty girl in the
gallery, Klondike City was slipping by US,
and just below, over wide gravel bar, the
crystal Klondike rushed in, making wide,
green path far out in the gray waters of the
Yukon. Just below the mouth of that far
famed river the city of Dawson begins
1t has all come into view so suddenly and
We sweep down the swift stream so rapidly
that one finds it bewilderng. After 800
miles of almost houseless Shore this i'm
posing camp, with its shipping floating
wharfs and great iron warehouses, was a
revelation. At the upper end of the town
are the government buildings, the prison
and the barracks, where the mounted po-
lice live.
Almost a mile of houses, all sorts, shapes
and sizes, are ranged along the embank-
ment facing the river These are the prin-
cipal business establishments of the town
hotels, shops of all kinds, saloons, dance
halls, banks and barber shows. 1t is a
weird picture, a wonderful panorama that
passes our window as We drop down

seven dogs, a perfect little wagon, and the
dogs have harnesses with collars and
names, like the harness of a horse. 1t re-

Now the women, who have made the
long journey of thousands of miles to Join
their husbands, come from their cabins clad
IN neat travelling gowns that have not beer
worn on the whole trip. A new hat, fresh
