Murderous Insurrectos Often
Attack Soldiers and Travellers.

It makes one uneasy to travel through J
country like this, for you can never tell
when an enemy may be hidden in a clump
of bamboos. Murders are so frequent that
you can never know when your turn u
coming. Last week I was in a country filled
with brigands. 1t was the land of our
friends. the Macabebes. and there were La
drones upon every side playing upon these
natives and our troops. I rode up the Ria
Grande River in a little dugout not more
than 10 feet long and 2 feet in width. II
was SO narrow that I had to sit very
straight to prevent overturning the boaGf1

Chadwick with me. We rode for seven miles
up the river 30 close to the shore that wa

out over the streams. Lieutenant Chadwfc1e
warned me that II there was firing / should
throw myself fiat In the boat 1t was dark
and We moved without lights for fear No
might attract the fire OF insurrectos.
We reached Calumpit. and I did not thfn4

I was sleeping in q bamboo shack In
banana plantation about two miles from
our regular troops. with Lieutenants Chad

company Of Macabebes. About midnight wei
were awakened by a sound of firing. Tha
officers sprang from their beds, and Chad-i

In the marriage ceremony the groom
catches the bride and drags her to her pa
rents, telling them he wants to marry her.
If the old folks consent a cocoanut shell Of
water is poured over the couple, their woolly
heads are pressed together and from that
time on they are man and wife. Whether
the bride gets a new wedding waist cloth I
do not know. but 1 am told that the two
always go off by themselves on a trip
through the woods during the honeymoon
This lasts for five days. Then they coma

How Wild Hogs and
Deer Are Caught.

The Negritos are good hunters and trap
pers. They catch many deer and wild hogs.
I saw several deer traps on our way through
the mountains. One which We passed this
morning was merely a long bamboo pole
fastened to the trees across a path down
which the deer came to a drinking place at
a stream. The pole had loops of rattan so
hung from It that when a deer ran under it
the horns would catch in the loops. The
loops had a slip moose. and as the deer
pulled away they frightened and held him
until the Negritos who were watching could
spear or shoot him while so %entangled. In
places there are long rows of these traps.
They must be Of value. although 1t would
seem that the deer could easily pull loose.
am told that the Negritos are excellent
archsrs. General Fred Grant has a large
collection Of their bows and arrows, gath
cred from different parts Of these mountains.
The bows are Of a black hardwood and the
strings are of twisted rattan; the arrow
shafts are Of bamboo and the arrowheads
are Of iron with needle'lke points and so
barbed just above where they join the wood
that it Is impossible to pull them out. Some
have detachable heads fastened by strings

flight OF the animal
I am disappointed IN not seeing moro Ne
critic houses 1 learn that most Of the pyg-
mics live in caves, although they now and
then build up little shelters or sheds made
Of grasses and bamboo poles. These sheds
seem to be for temporary use. A Negrito
can erect one in a couple Of hours, and SO
he leaves 1t at will. They wander about
from place to place, sleeping where night
overtakes them and not caring for perma,
nent habitation. They have little clothing
Or other belongings. and the woman can
easily carry the household utensils. which
consist of bat a few cups and shells. Out
side some OF the huts you can see the re-
mains of the cooking.

Stones Used In
Place of a Stove.

The stove consists OF three stones placed
in the shape of a triangle so that a pot can
rest upon them over the Goals. The people
eat with their fingers and drink from the
streams.
1 hear that the savage Negrttos in all
parts Of the island are afraid Of white peo-
pie and that they will run at their approach.
For this reason little Is known OF their Gus
toms. Those used as slaves are captured
SO young that they can tell but little about
their own people. The race Is apparently
as weak Intellectually as 1T is physically.
They are heather, and SO lar missionaries
have made no impression upon them.
