ER|AR ON F|L|P|NOS
A Franciscan's Opinion of the
Natives of Islands.
UNWORTHY OF REFORMS
AN UTTER CONTEMPT SHOWN
FOR THE PEOPLE.
Assertion That Rial Recanted Before
He Was shot in the
Back"

The prominence which the recent negotia-
tions at Rome has given to the subject of
the status of the friars or members of the
Catholic corporations in the Philippines has
attracted attention anew to all matters
bearing upon the relations which existed
prior to the American occupation between
the friars and the native population. Much
testimony has been given to indicate the
dislike, amounting to bitter hatred, felt by
the FilipinOs for the friarS. 1t would APP
pear from a letter, which follows writ en-
in 1897 by a member of the Order of Fran
ciscans to a prominent Spaniard that the
friars themselves held the Filipinos in con-
tempt, regarding them as little removed
from a state of absolute savagery.
The original of this letter is found in
La Politica de Espana en- Filipinas" (The
Policy of Spain in the Philippines. volume
IS, published in Madrid by W. f. Retna
in 1897. a copy of which is in the Library
of Congress. The periodical contains let
ters, kilograms. articles on the Philippines
and documents. many OF which are evil
IDENTIFY derived from official sources. At
the time of this publication the editor was
q member of the Spanish cOrteS. The Don
Sigismundo Moret. to whom this letter is
addressed, at one time the Spanish
minister for the colonies (miniStrO de u
tramar). He proposed certain reforms in
L
pines reforms which Were Objectionable to
the orders in that country.
The friar who writes this letter evil
IDENTIFY expresses the opinion of his religious
superiors, as may be seen from the follow
ing note, found on page IS of the same pc
riodical in which this open letter appears:
We read in FL Eco de la Montana of
CacereS that our very dear friend, the rev
erend Father Casanova whose elOquencc
has been Justly admired in this capital.
where he preached the last novena on the
feast of the immaculate Conception, at
the request of Cardinal Monescillo Eiso,
has been named member of the College of
Theology and of the faculty of philosophy
of the Central Seminary of Toledo. This is
a new laurel which Father Casanova can
add to the brilliant crown of honors which,
although still young, he can display. and
the ilustriOus Cardinal Monescillo has rea-
son to be thoroughly sa tisfied in adding to
the doctors of his seminary man of the
scientific ability Of our unforgetable, be
loved and honOred friend, to whom, from
the columns of our modest weekly. we send
the most cordial and affectionate good
wishes.
I'VE are also delighted to have the oppor-
tunity of sincerely COngratulating Father
Casanova. and through him the whole prov
inCe of Franciscans in the Philippines. of
which province this ilustrious philosopher
is a most distinguished member"

NEW CURE FOR LoCKJAW.
Harlem Hospital Surgeon Makes Novel
Use of Antitoxin

From the New York Herald Of today.
Treated by a process new to medicine,
Joseph Herman, the eleven-year-old son of
Mike Herman, well known for many
years as member of the New York base
ball team. is believed to be recovering from
lociliaw at the Harlem Hospital. He has
been in the institution for a week. and yes
terday showed such Improvement that the
surgeons were elated over his progress
DR. Bivvings. house surgeon at the hos
pital. has charge Of the case. When the
boy arrived the disease was already well
defined and he decided to employ this
treatment.
Antitox!n. in small doses is being in
jected into the spinal cord between the sec
ond and third vertebrate of the lumbar re-
gion. Previously antitOXin had been used,
but in the recorded cases it was injected
into the brain through a hole bored in the
skull. Only one cure. and that, it is said,
of doubtful authenticity, is reported from
this treatment.
Under the new treatment young Herman
has shown great Improvement, and yeStcr-
day there was a marked relaxation of the
muscles of the neck and an appreciate bet
terment generally, which, if continued an
other day, the doctors are confident will in
sure his complete recovery and SignaliZe a
noteworthy triumph of surgery.
Various new methods have been employed
during recent years in an endeaVOr to cure
lockiaw. but none of them has proved of
any avail. OF all ailments II has been one
of the most generally fatal and the most
stubborn to yield to treatment.
When Young Tiernan was brought to the
hospital the symptoms of tetanus were so
well developed that the case was considered
almost hopeless. The injection has been reg
ulariy repeated since then and from the
present condition of the patient it is ap-
parent to the surgeons of the hospital that
it has not only been beneficial, but actually
checked the further progress of the lock-

STORY OF TWO BIKES
Robert Frazer and Ivan Irwin Ride
to South Heights and
Walk Home.
SEPARATED FROM THEIR MACHINES
Latter Are Returned Today and Ex-
plantations Are in
Order.

Yesterday Robert Frazer and Ivan
Irwin, two boys from this city, rode
their bicycles out to South Heights
and in their rambles left them for
half an hour few blocks southeast
On returning to get them they found
the machines gone. The matter was
reported to the police last evening.
This morning Robert Frazer went
10 South Heights to see If he could
get any trace of the machines. At
the home of William Nowack. so he
says, he found one of the wheels.
Mrs Nowack claimed to nave taken
it from couple of boys who were
hauling them past in n cart. She
said she had been unable to get the
other, and the one she had she gave
up on receiving 81 for her trouble
This was also reported at the station
This morning in order to give the pO-
lice n clue as to what had become of
the other one.
This afternoon John, the young son
Of Peter Devenyns, 1906 Twenty-siXth
street, appeared at the police station
with the other bicycle. He said that
he and another boy were passing the
place where the wheels were left yes
terday afternoon and there they saw
Il girl trying to take them away. She
said they had been there all day and
offered the boys one of them if they
would haul them TO her home i'll their
cart. They accepted the offer, but
when the elder Devenyns found out
what had been done he sent his son
10 the station with the machine.
