lands Mindanao is the largest with 1851
square miles, and Luzon second with 49,
900 square miles. Either of these are larger
than Ireland. Among the others of the
larger islands are Mindoro, Panay, Samar,
Masbate, Negros, Cebu, Leyte, Bohol and
Palauan. These vary considerably in size,
averaging from 5000 square miles down to
less than 5000. Of the more than 1900 is
lands there are only some 600 that are in
habited, OF are large enough to support
a population of any size, the majority of
the others being but mere rocks or reefs.

Island of Mindanao.

Mindanao Island, from which comes our
latest troubles in the Philippines, promises
to become a veritable paradise for fortune
hunters along various lines. Its soil is prob
ably more fertile than that OF any of the
other islands, and its streams and noun
tains are said to abound in liberal quanti-
ties of gold and other minerals. 1t is in.
habited by the Moro tribes, all of whom
are Mohammedans. Spain never succeeded
in establishing anything like staple gov
erument in the island.

Some
Philippine
History

Philippine R ipnines That II sae bold
History explorer sailed around
- - Cape Horn, crossed
the Pacific and landed
on the island ofsCebu in 1921, where he
attempted to take possession in the name
of Spain, but was killed in skirmish with
the natives. The ships of Magellan re-
turned to Spain and his companions aroused
an interest in the wonderful lands they
had discovered, but it was not until 1865
that another attempt was made to sub
due the natives and gain foothold in the
islands. At this later date Spanish fleet
sailing from Mexico punished the natives
for the killing of Magellan, and formally
|. took possession of the entire group in the
name of the Spanish sovereign. Five years
later the city of Manila was founded, and
the different native chiefs in Luzon took
the oath of allegiance to Spain.
Chinese pirates, who had virtually been
the rulers of the islands for many years
previous to the Spanish occupation, gave
the new rulers much trouble, and disputed
with them the sovereignty. Two serious
attempts were made by these pirates to
drive the Spanish from the islands, but
both resulted disastrously to them, and in
time they learned that the hated Europeans
were too powerful for them.
In 1905 the Dutch attempted to wrest the
control Of the islands from Spain, but were
unsuccessful, loosing their feet in the prof.
ect. In 1862 Manila was captured by Eng
land. That country intended to hold the
city, and would probably have added the
whole of the archipelago to the British EN-.
pire had not political combinations in Eu-
rope prevented. As it was Manila was
again surrendered to Spain upon a promise
to pay ransom amounting to 5000, 600.
1t is a debt that England has never been
able to collect.
Throughout the present century rebel
lions on the part of the natives have been
frequent. The first serious one began in
1922, which continued for some months be-
fore it was suppressed by the Spanish
| troops. Another came in l84l, lasting
| through the following year. The next one
| of any consequence was that Of 1872, and
this was followed by the one of lS06-97.
| which resulted in the Punishment of Agui
naldo and his followers to Hong Kong.

81, but Aguinaldo had moved his govern
ment to San Fernando, and upon his de-
parture fired the government buildings.
The victory was . signal one, however, as
it resulted in the capture OF subsistence
stores valued at one and a half million dol
lars.
The American troops continued to push
northward toward the new rebel capital
rapidly, and on April 10 was fought the
battle of Santa Cruz, which place was cap
tured on April Is, and on May S San Fer
nando fell into the hands of the American
troops. The capture OF this place prac-
tieally closed the campaign to the north
of Manila until the close of the rainy sea-
son. Gen. Lawton's command returned to
Gen. MacArthur's lines on May "a after
having marched distance Of 100 miles,
fought q engagements, taken % towns,
captured and destroyed 100000 bushels Of
rice, and with loss of only 6 killed and
IS wounded.
But the intrepid officer, who was later to
lose his lie in the Conflict, was not al
lowed to rest his troops. He was assigned
to command an expedition against Gen. Pho
del Pillar, who was operating around the
shores of Laguna de Bay, and from the
third of June to the thirteenth OF the same
month succeeded in driving the insurgents
not only from the shores of this body of
water, but from around the shores of Ma
Mia bay as well, and soon after had driven
the enemy from every stronghold in Cavite
province.
Gen. Macarthur opened the second cam
paign to the north of Manila on August 9,
when he moved against Angeles. Bacolor
was first captured, and on August Is the
army arrived before the intrenchments at
Angeles. The place was captured with a
loss of but two killed and II wounded.
During the same time Gen. Young had
taken the towns of San Aateo, Balcuag and
Quingua.

the COPPER SITUATION.

The New York Engineering and
Mining Journal of December 18th
last says: A statement, which car
ries with it the suspicion of hav-
ing received its inspiration in the
Offices of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company, has found its way
into the daily press. According to
the statement all of the blame for
the. unsatisfactory condition of the
copper market during the past
few months lies with the indie
pendent concerns, by "independ-
ent" meaning those outside of the
influence of the Amalgamated in
terest. We are not inclined to
this view. 1t is true that the out
side interests received the benefit
of the high prices maintained by
the Amalgamated Company and
kept under the umbrella" as long
as it was held up. This could
hardly be considered a policy of
unwisdom. As long as prices were
upheld the independents were go
ing to sell all the copper for which
they could find a market.
In forming a judgment of the
conditions which have prevailed
in the copper market it must be
remembered that the two princi-
pal offenders" from the Amalga-
mated viewpoint are the Calumet
& Hecla and the Copper Queen.
It must also be remembered that
these two interests have never
figured on Wall street as manipu-
lators of the stock market. So lit
tie interest is taken by the owners
of the Calumet & Hecla stock in
the quotations of the street that
no attempt is made to protect" it
from declining prices. Stock having
a par salary of SIS per share, and
which is quoted at about $500 is
apt to be fairly safe investment,
particularly when it is considered
that the original investment was
at about two-thirds the par value.
None of the Copper Queen nor
any of the Phelps-Dodge proper
ties are quoted on the stock ex-
changes. Such being the case it
is not surprising that these inter
ests were willing to take the bene-
fit of what was coming their way,
and it is also not surprising that
they were not inclined to enter
into any definite alliance with the
Amalgamated people, whose act
ions, to say the least, have not
been above suspicion.
There is very general impress
sion abroad that there has been
something of an unholy alliance
between the management of the
Amalgamated business and the
stock market. 1t is recognized
that the inside" parties have the
power to manipulate the stock to
suit their purposes, and it is very
strongly suspected that what has
been lost by the accumulation of
copper in stock and the recent
fall in prices has been more than
made up by the profits on the
street. A drop from $r3o to $50
per share on a capitalization of
$155,ooo,ooo means a loss of about
$Ioo,ooo,ooo. There may have
been some profits derived from
selling out or short" at the higher
price. Until the insiders of Anal
gamated have purged themselves
of the suspicious which have aris-
en- about them, it is of little use to
try to throw the: blame of the re-
cent decentralization upon others.
