Fetters Of Slavery Are Being sundered.


WASHINGTON. March 5.-The extent
OF slavery in the Philippines was discuss
ed by Governor Taft before the house in
sular committee yesterday in response to
questions by members. He said slavery
was confined TO the southern Moro is
lands The Investigation made by Gov
ernor Taft and his associates had brought
out the slaves including men. women and
children. who were slaves for debt ac-
cOrding to the statements made by the
datos. The slaves could buy their liberty.
but until this was done, the condition ran
from generation 10 generation. The slaves
were members Of the family and the rela-
tons were comparatively mild II IL was
possible 10 consider any form of slavery
mild. Governor Taft said Dato Mandi
had already abolished slavery by decree.
How effective this was could not be
stated.
It indicates. said Governor Taft, how
willing they are TO consider our desires
and the possibilities Of graduating the
system.
The civil authorities had never recog-
mixed slavery I'm any way he said and
the military had always released slaves.
But the slaves did not understand the ad-
vantage Of liberty and Governor Taft said
that II we attempted 10 end slavery by
force we N1-.4u probably find the slaves
turning their s-Ins against us. The in
fiuence Of the United States. was, how
ever. growing stronger and stronger for
the eradication OF slavery. Although our
wishes had been made known yet neither
the civil or military authorities had said
slavery must cease or war would be made.

to advise them 0n this line with any
degree of accuracy. Very little was
accomplished 10y the Convention be
fore the Christmas holidays. Since
that time the body has made better
progress with it's work, and some OF
the members say that the labors OF
the Convention will soon be com
pleted. Hon. George d. Wise-who
is no novice at law-making how
ever, is of the opinion that there is
much work yet to be done
He says it will be some time before
the work is completed. As Mr.. Wise
is a lawyer of ability, as well as one
of long experiencein law-making, his
opinion is worth something, and the
people may not be disappointed in
expecting the Convention to he in
