mcnotonous life in Manila. During the
past two weeks gang of first-class road
agents and highwaymen have been de-
veloped and seems perfectly contented
In conhning their operations to Pasuy
and the surrounding country there
abouts. At the present, there are mp.
wards Of three thousand discharged and
short term soldiers at the Casual station
at Camp Wallace on the Luneta and
their presence with so much money in
their possession seems to be an induce
ment for the hold-up business Ala u.
j" The daily press for the past week
has been polishing accounts Of hold-ups
and gold brick games.
FIRST THREATENED LYNCH1NG.
Manila had it's first threatening of
lynching last Monday night in Santa
threatened TO introduce that great pop
ular spectacle of "Americanism. 4" but
taking for their model whita police
man of the metropolitan force From
the Manila Americans account it seems
that patrolman George O. Green whose
beat was in the above named district,
enticed a young native yagrant into a
nearby house and thereby criminally as
saulted her, returned to patroling as us
ual; his time being up he was relieved
by another patrolnan who was accosted
about two O'Clock by a young native
woman leading a child who stated that
the latter had been assaulted by
olimo. The good policeman then ac.
companied them TO the scene of the out
rage, n climo confectionery stand where
the victim told him she had been assault
ed by an American policeman and not a
climo. He hastily reported TO the Santa
Cruz police station and municipal ply
sician summoned who pronounced the
child in serious con 1ition.
ADMITTED Hs GUILT.
Green walked in attired IN civilian
clothes exclaiming that he GOULD tell all
about the case. His victim Immediate
ly recognized him despite his change of
dress; he then admitted his relations
with her, stating it was with her con-
sent for consideration of two pesos
($I 90 American). Chief of Police Cur
ry was at once notified. He summarily
dismissed Green aid order him TO be
confined in the Santa Cruz station for
further action. At last accounts the
victim of the cowardly policeman was
in precarious condition and the physi-
clans were in doubt as TO their ability to
stop the hemorrhage which resulted.
She is said to be a street vagrant,
well known TO the residents OF Santa
Cruz and physically avery unattractive
speciman OF humanity.
So strong was the threats of lynching
that the prisoner was transferred 20 Bill
Ibid for safe keeping.
When an appeal was made TO the city
for a company of colored policeman, the
Municipal Board, acting thereon stated
it was impracticable at that time. 1t is
presumed they were afraid they would
have too many criminal assaults charg-
ed against them, which opinion is well
founded, judging by the latest episode
among their white brethren, although
the Metropolitan force cannot be Judged
by the action Of the degenerate Green
no more than any other race or body by
an individual.
CoLoRED TROOPS RELIEVED.
After two years of hard duty in the
Province Of Zambales the 25th u. s,
Infantry has been relieved therefrom
and assigned to duty with headquarters
and Co. ID at Malabin and Calvocan the
old stamping ground of 1899.
AS disinterested as may be our people
at home, but a sight worth the eleven
1lOuSRAu0 hlllo JIAp W Sc6 was bH0 16IlSI
of that black regiment last week.
On February 29th, 1902 when compan
les X, l., and B, moved into the towns
assigned them they were greeted by a
lot Of sneaking natives ready to bolo
them at the least favorable opportunity;
where two months later they were con-
WINGED that we would pay for what we
got, it was case of sneaking natives
begging for the opening of the ports
to get wares TO bolo "Mr. Soldiers pock-
ct book" Finally came the Redding
Marcelino nuptials which was the key
note of matrimonial unions and when
the boys who came empty handed in
1900 marched out in 1902 they carried
the 25 best looking ladies of Castillejos
and quite q slice of the population as
WELL so that Malabon has considerably
increased her population at the expense
of Castillijos.
One unfortunate occurrence dampened
the send off promised, fire started ON
the southeastern road to Subig and de-
stroyed the principal portion of the
town including the officers quarters
and school house. The American school
teacher lost all his property. The sol
diers and natives fought the flames like
they formerly fought each other, but TO
no avail. Two thousand natives were
rendered homeless by the conflagration.
Consul interferred with native po-
hceman in the execution of his duty and
was clubbed for his pains.
Mr.. Cell, the Philadelphia evangelist
who arrived from the South Sea Islands
a short time ago and who is on a tour
of the world, inspected the various mis-
sions and conducted a series of revival
meetings In a big tent on the Lunetta
nndar the ancnicpS Of the RYAN oralico1
Union of which Major E. w. Halford Of
the u. s. Army is President. The
meetings were great success and Cos
mopoitan America was out in full.
