their own religion, we'll behaved. They
do NOT get drunk. and so far the dattos
have refused the wines offered them by
our officers upon state occasions. They
will not eat pork. because that IS also
against the Koran. From our ignor-
ance of these facts some interesting sit
nations have arisen. When General
Rates was ON the Charleston, on the
COAST OF the Island OF Basilan, he was
called upon by party Of Moros Ihere
we're several dattos among them ana
the general wished TO do them honor

THEY ARE JEALOUS.
Some Of our greatest troubles with the

jealousy. not only as regards their Wo-
men. but also as TO the treatment OF

THE sPANIARDs AND THE MOROS.
There Ia now friendship between us
and the Moros. There was nothing OF
the kind between them and the Span

was standing on the wharf at Fam

for a boat he amused himself by asking
the little one questions. Offering TO buy

THE WONDERS OF CIVILIZATION
The soldiers who were killed in Bon
gao were undoubtedly murdered for
their guns. Our weapons are a sur
prise TO these people, and the great
ships and big cannon on them ON them
with dread They are surprised az our
size for We are q head taller on the
average than the Flllpnos and bigger
than the spaniards. The mules are as
great curiositles as elephants, and all
modern inventions are new things here.
Ice Is one Of the greatest Of wonders.
The Moros had never heard Of &c. and
when an ice machine was erected IN
J0lo the Sultan Of Sulu became almost
panic-stricken. He could not under
stand how out Of fire cold could come.
The ice machine was put up by O '5il
engineer. Mr. Cherry Of San Francisco.
