these weapons are his inseparable
companions. He sleeps with them,
and he fights equally well on foot, on
horseback, or in his fleet war canoe.
1t has been charged that he is abso-
lutely Indifferent to bloodshed or suf-
fering, and that he will take the life
of slave or a stranger merely to try
the keenness of new weapon. Lool
ing upon work as disgrace, hi
scheme of life consists in making
slaves of less warlike men, to work
for him, and taking their best-looking
girls for his harem-
On the other hand, some of our OBJ
servant army officers recently in Min
danao declare that the Moros are very
like the best of our North American
Indians, such as the Nez Perces and
Northern Cheyennes, in features and
manners, in their love of independ-
ence, and in personal dignity and
pride. They are apt to be courteous,
light-hearted, and improvident- Their
sense of humor is strong, and they
are amenable to argument and reason.
Their dislike for work is rather the
warriors contempt for labor than
mere laziness-
Though no reliable figures are OBJ
tainable, it is believed that there are
about 100000 Moros in Mindanao.
Some authorities say only 100000,
however. The Moros, as a rule, are
disposed to be very friendly when
treated as equals, and by following
out that idea the Americans have ac-
complished with them what the Span
iards, who behaved very haughtily to
them. could not do in 300 years.
Before long quite lot of interesting
Information will be gained about this
new island of ours, which comprises
one-third of the land area of the archi-
pelago, and which contains so many
curious peoples, not to mention huge
crocodiles, boas of extraordinary size,
and a creature called the "caguang,"
which is a sort of cross between a
monkey and bat.

Rush to South Africa.

A rush of immigrants from Austria
liza to South Africa is worrying the
authorities of the former common
wealth. The men who are leaving are
those whom Australia can least afford
20 olose-mechanics, laborers and farm
hands. Applicants for permission to
smigrate must prove themselves to be
possessed of at least $500. This. add
ed to the expenses of voyage, is an
obstacle to the poor in purse, and the
'esult is that vessels bound from
Australia to South Africa are suffer

Spring bows, also, are set in the jun

token that they are mutually to sus-

Concerning the Moros. whose ances-
tors probably came from Borneo and
Celebes, there is a good deal of con-
Trajectory testimony. 1t is admitted
that the Moro is a man built for tht

of lance, buckler, and sword (having

OVATION TO scHLEY.
Historical Association Bursts Into
Storms of Applause at His
Naiue-IgnOres SIMPSONS

washington, D. c., Dec. 28.-
The members of the American
Historical AssociationI sat mute as
any cIod when Rear Admiral Samp-
SON. was. named by the toast
master at luncheon in the Congres-
sioual Library :today, and burst
into storms of applause at the men,
ton of Rear Admiral Schley. The
character of the men composing
the association makes the incident
striking AID suggestive. Charles
Francis Adams is president of the
American Historical Association.
Among its members are scientists,
literary men and college pres
ldents. 1t is above all conser-
vative body. as becomes the stu
dents aud writer's of history. It's
the very last body wherein one
would expect to find i'll considered
enthusiasm.
One of the guests who was to
respond to a toast after the lun-
cheon at the Congressional Library
this afternoon was Captain Mahan
of the navy. Introducing him, the
toastmaster apoIogetically explain
ed that the association doubtless
would have been happy to have
been permitted to greet the Admir-
al OF the Navy, George Dewey.
There was a heavy round of ape
pIause at mention Of Dewey's
name, and the toastmaster con.
tinued, "or Rear Admiral Samp.
son" Not a sound was heard,
nor funeral note. The stiffness
was actually painful as the toasts
master hesitated an instant befOrs
continuirg, "oF Real Admiral
Schley." Then there was a roar
of applause that made the banquet
room ring and drowned the speak
er's voice. The cheers died away
aud broke forth again, grave aud
ordinarily 9ignifed men of letters
cIappiug their hands and shouting
like "A crowd of schoolboys or
pleased frst-nighlers. The de-
rnonstration was remarkable, in
that it came from men by whom
the history of the Spanish War
will be wrirtea. Even the mem
bers of the association are them
selves baking of the incident to-
night. This incident was an in
teresting sequel to the National
Theater demonstration last night,
when an audience of 1000 mani
tested their appreciation of Admiral
Schley's presence by rising en-
nasse and cheering MIN until he
was compelled to make his appear
ance from his box and bow his
acknowledgements. Some one IN
the audience discovered the Admir-
al in the box and shouted
!" There's Schley." The demons
tration which followed has never
been equalled in a Washington
