been removed ana something they crave
has been left instead In few parts
OF Luzon they are crossed with Tagals
There Is powerful tribe Of them called
Atlas.
The other blacks are Africans carried
into the country by Spanish slave
traders. These form no separate settle
ments, and they are said to have but
little influence on the mass Of the pop
ulation.
There are also two kinds OF brown
people, namely the Polyneslans, re-
semblIpg the Hawalians and the
Malayan browns. It Is now assumed
that the negrltoes are the original in
hablanis, and that the mgratlons that
carried the ancestors Of the Inhabitants
of the Pacific islands TO these places,
also sent them to the Philippines. Blu
mentrtt, says Professor Mason, finds
three brown migratlons, that OF the
head-hunters, 200 b c.; second. to
which the ancestors Of Tagals, Visa
vas, Vlcols, llocanos, and other adj
yanced tribes belong, 10000 A. D..
bringing alphabets and literature; and
a third, lslamltlc. or Moro, from Boz

spanlards.
The American copper-colored type Is
thought TO have commenced It's inva-
sion Of the Philippines IN the year 1870
and continued the visits during two
centuries These emigrants are said to
have been from Mexico, Some Of them
returned and introduced into the New
World the arts they had learned abroad,
but more OF them remained in their new
homes and practised there the native
arts, much TO the confoundng OF mod
ern ethnolOglsts. This conclusion Is
said to be based upon accounts Of such
settlements by Mexican Indians In the
Philippines, and upon similaritles that
can best be explained on the suppOsi
ton Of an intermingling Of races across
the Pacific.
The yellow races are represented by
Chinese, Japanese, slamese, Cambo-
dams. and others, and mixtures Prac-
tcally all Asia Is represented In the is
lands. The mixture of the yellow man
with the brown woman and subsequent
ly Of the mongrel spaniard with this
compound, created the standard popu-
lation Of Luzon and the Visaya Islands.
The basis is Malay. but the mercantile |
and political standing no less than the
culture, comes through Aslatic and
European fathers.
The white race came to the Philip
pines in the beginning Of the sixteenth
century through the Portuguese and |
the Spanards. But the Spaniards
themselves are a mixture Of Semitic and
Hamite, iberian, Basque, Goth, Van
dali Roman and Kelt and thus II hap
pens that "the blood OF all mankind
flows in the Philippine islands" The
of the suu Islands Is Semitic,
md swept to the archipelago traces Of
Parthians, Modes, Elamltes dwellers In
and Arabia. The very
name Moros or Moors Is suggestive Of
3erber aflinties There are In the Philip
lines $50 native tribes with names.
Some OF these are small and live In OUT
'f-the-way areas. They never sue
umbed to Spanish rule or the Catholic
eliglon, while others are vastly more
than all the indians that were
yer In the United States at one time.

The facts thus related about our new
elbow citizens are well worth knowing,
ince the country has undertaken TO
ivilize this vast collection OF ethnolo-
lc specimens. The best traits OF man
ind, and the worst must be repre-
ented there 1t Will take much wis
ON, patience and perseverance TO
ring about the desired results where
uch a variety Of conditions prevail. No
'onder the Spanlards failed. The re.
emption Of all these races from bar
arism would be great triumph for
american civilization.
