for man to purchase children to
bring them up for work about the
house.
Nearly all the savages have slaves
captured in war. 1t is not uncom-
mon to kill the men captives and
make slaves out of the women and
children. In four tribes which in
habit the mountains, slaves are to be
used for human sacrifices. These
tribes are .he Baggbas, Aetas, Guian
gas and Tagacolas, who live on or
near the slopes of Mount Apo.
The Chinese merchants usually own
one or more women whom they have
bought. They do not marry them.
The chief slave owners, however,
are the Moros. They have the right
to slaves by their religion. In the past
they have carried on great business
in kidnapping men, women and chill
dren and taking them to Borneo for
sale. There are white men still living
who have been slaves captured by the
Moros in their wars with Spaniards.
According TO the Moro laws the father
has right to sell his children He
can sell his children, he can sell his
wife, and if he gets in debt he sells
himself to pay it.

Augustana Loses.
Geueseo was Yesterday the scene of
an interesting game of football be-
tween Geneseo High school and the
Augustana business college of this
city The cOnrast was uuite even ALL
through the game, notwithstanding
that Augustana played against great
odds. They entered the game with
little or no practice. and were out
weighed by fully ID pounds TO the
man. Added TO this was the fact that
the grounds were very slippery and
muddy. for which Geneseo was well
prepared by having their understand
ings well shod in which respect the
great majority of the Augustana boys
wST5 deficient. In the beginning of
the first half Augustana was rapidly
gaining ground, but was soon held
for downs, aud the ball passed to
Geneseo. By lucky fumb BILE, which
resulted in q spectacular end run,
Geneseo succeeded in bringing the
bali almost 10 their goal line and
soon passed over the line.
In the second half Il looked at times
as if Augustana was going to even up
matters, as the ball frequently passed
from one side to the other But in
this they failed, and by some brilliant
charges another touchdown was Sc
cured for Geneseo. Thus the score
stood IL to 0 at the end of the game.

According to our treaty any slave
in Sulu can be freed upon payment of
$50 to his master. / doubt if this
covers Mindanao, which is now a part
of our country, subject to the 18th
amendment of the constitution.
Spanish Laws In Force
The Spanish laws will continue in
force until congress adopts others.
1t was more than 500 years ago that
Spain decreed that slavery should be
abolished in the Philippines. Yet the
Spaniards held slaves. According to
our policy, we can not restrain the
Moros as to their treatment of their
slaves. The jurisdiction of our Off
GERS extends only to disputes between
Moros and christians. and the dattos
and the sultans are to settle all cases
between the Moros and themselves.
Take a case which came up before
Capt. Dapray on the island of Bongao.
A pretty girl ran into his quarters,
threw herself at his feet and begged
him to protect her from death. She
was an escaped slave of Datto Tan
gong. The datto appeared and de-
manded that she be given to him, and
Capt. Dapray had to consent. although
he made the datto promise her life
would be spared. The datto agreed
to bring the girl once week to his
quarters to show him that she was
still alive. After the second visit the
datto offered the girl to Capt. DaPray
as a present, The captain refused.
She was taken back to the datto's
establishment and ran away the Sec
ond time. She was again captured
and shortly afterward disappeared,
the datto saying that he had exiled
her. Whether he killed her or sent
her away it is not known.
As rule the slaves are well treat
ed. There is no tracking men with
bloodhounds and little forced labor.
They are more like the feudal SER
wants of the middle ages than like our
former slaves. The slaves eat with
their masters, and in most cases
do not work unless their masters work
with them. II is considered disgrace
full, though not illegal. for a man to
sell slave whom he has raj sed in the
family
Part of the Religion.
The question of polygamy is con-
nected with the Mohamm edan religion,
and if the United States attempts to
abolish 1t we shall have a war on our
hands which will last until the Moros
are wiped out. According to the
koran. every Mohammedan has the
right to four wives. He also has the
right to as many concubjnes and fe-
