Pacification Of Philippines.
From the London Times,


According to Austro-Hungarian official
data, great progress was made in the pacifl-
cation of the Philippines during the year
1901. Civil administration has for months
past been introduced in thirty to forty
provinces, while those parts of the country
where the revolutionary movement has not
been completely suppressed are left under
military government. The latter comprises
the lagoon regions, Batangas in Luzon and
the Islands Of Samar and Mindoro, to which
the military operations have Of late been
almost exclusively confined. The nature of
the country in the south of Luzon may en-
able the insurgents to force their way into
the neighboring provinces, but even that
would not involve a revival Of the revolu-
tionary spirit. The natives are gradually
assuming a less dubious attitude as the
hopelessness of further resistance is be-
coming more clear.
There Is consequently no reason to fear
a recrudescence Of the revolution on a scale
calculated to interfere with trade and COM
merce. The prospectors who have been ex-
ploring the country in all directions are
agreed as to the existence of metals and
minerals. The question Is whether it will
pay to work them, and that can only be
ascertained by practical experiment. There
Is a superiority of valuable timber of yart-
Gus kinds, the demand for which increased
last year in consequence of greater activity
in the building trade, particularly in Ma
Mia

poncemen and thousands of soldiers with
CLUBS and revolvers, but nevertheless rob-
berries occur every day and the counterfeit
ers make false money so fast that you have
to ring every dollar to see whether it is
silver or not.
Manila has not only land thieves but
water thieves. Think of an American city
containing more than 100000 people in
which there are professional pirates. The
place is cut up by canals, the Pasig river
flows through it and its waterways are
as thickly crowded with boats as those of
Canton. A short time ago 1t was found
that these parts of the city were infested
by an organized band of thieves and pick
pockets who made the boats their head
quarters and went out to prey upon the
people. They robbed the houses and black
mailed their brothers upon the boats. An
additional force has been added to the
water police to keep them in check, and
both harbor and canals are now being pa
trolled on the lookout for pirates
A few weeks ago one of the government
launches passed a large boat on the River
Pasig in almost the heart of the city. In
1t was native who waved his hand fer
assistance. The launch stopped and it was
found that the man had been attacked by

and wanted to surrender. Captain How
land asked one of the natives who he
knew was friendly to us whether he
thought the men were telling the truth
The native replied:
How can you tell whether they tell the
truth or not until you castigate them? The
Spaniards always castigated us when they
wanted to get the truth. Give them a good
what they really think Any Filipino will
tell lie until he is castigated."
Captain Rowland, however. did not feel
like taking the responsibility of ordering
each man fifty lashes upon his bare back,
and he let them go.
Among the Ladrones.
An enormous amount of thieving prevails
in the country districts of Luzon and the
other large islands. The mountains are in
tested with bandits, who make raids upon
the planters. Many of the insurrectos have
Joined these bands, and they now rob Amer
leans and natives alike. The planters of
Negros have recently formed a union to
protect themselves against such brigandage.
They have made up lists of all the men of
the island and have recorded opposite each
mans name his character: They are try
ing to keep a record of every mans doings
as it is believed that many of the brigands
spend part of their time under the guise of
respectable citizens
There are many banditti in Mindoro. They
have existed there for years, the Spaniards
never attempting to break up their settle
ments. Dean Worcester mentions a Negroes
bandit named Martin who was a fiend
incarnate. He took children and tore them
to pieces and the natives, so it is said, be-
Heved that he Toasted on the livers of his
victims

Mr.. Ware has always been exceedingly
interested in educational matters. In Fort
Scott he was ever on the lookout for good
teachers and professors for the public
schools. and before leaving for Topeka he
was instrumental in securing for the town
a public library, large portion of the
funds and books for which being donated
by himself. AS a lawyer and speaker he
Is known throughout the west. For five
years he was a member of the state SEN
ate and at two different times was elected
a delegate to the republican national con-
vention. He is at present member of the
law firm of Gleed. Ware & Gleed of To-
peka. which Is engaged in corporation law
extensively. He is representing Kansas
before the Supreme Court of the United
States in the suit brought by the state
against Colorado for using the waters of
the Arkansas river for irrigating non-ripar-
ian lands, thereby lessening its flow so
materially as to practically dry the river

She was serene;
She never would cry and never would

No woman was ever like her, ween;
And never was yet any daughter of Eve

Mr.. and Mrs Ware are as congen!al as

been his greatest incentive to success
Their home is an ideally happy one.

Upon her tangled, wind tossed hair?
And had she on a kirtle green
The sweetest robe was ever scent
OBJ! met We April your way,
With eyes like doves breast meek and gray
Yes, met April on my way
Part morrow and part yesterday
And she went laughing, she was sad,
Maynard and pensive, grave and glad.
The huttering fabric Of her gown
Was emerald green, In shadow brown;
Soft gray as doves breast were her eyes
And bluest blue OF summer skiesi
Light fell her step upon the grass
As though q faery queen did pass;
Her hands were cold. yet full Of flowers,
Her loose hair wet with pattering sh0wefsi
Strung daisies for q girdle white
Were wound about her bosom slight.

rilla warfare can be carried on more sue

mountains and the valleys are filled with
clumps of bamboos. The American Indians
had nothing like the opportunities that the
Filipinos have in their warfare with us.
Indeed, 1 doubt II our Indians could have
been conquered If their country had been
similar to the Philippines. There are places
rice fields are interspersed with swamps,
and there are many thickets in which the
robbers can hide. There are bamboo
clumps everywhere and many places where
the ground rises in hillocks topped with
thick grass in which man can lie con-
ceaied and wait for his prey.

Only recently he was appointed a member
of the board of visitors at West Point,
and 1t was for considering this appoint
ment that the President invited Mr.. Ware
to lunch with him while he was in Wash
ington last month. President Roosevelt
has long admired Mr. Wares poetry, and
evidently liked the poet quite as much as
his verses Knowing also his success as
practical lawyer and his record as a SOL
der, he then offered him the position of
pension commissioner. Mr. Ware is in his
element when with his war comrades and
has always been a prominent speaker at
the annual encampments. His bright wit
ttctsms and genial good humor make him
great favOrfte as a speaker and a decid-
edly entertaining cOnverSationaliSt. Not
only will he be an excellent acquisition as
a government official, but also a delightful
addition to the literary and social circles
of the capital.

pirates, who had stolen the tobacco, sugar
and cocoanuts which he was carrying into
Manila.
On another boat the natives were seen TO
be greatly excited. The officials stopped
and were told that there was nothing
wrong. They saw, however, that several
ropes We're tied to the bamboo outriggers
of the native craft and caught hold of them
and pulled them in. At the other end of
each rope they found mauSer rifle and
later on discovered that of the men on the
boat four were pirates. They We're robbing
the boat when the government launch
came up and had threatened the owners
with death if they informed upon them.
1t is this fear on the part of the natives
that makes 1t difficult to break up piracy.
The criminals are so organized that their
friends will take revenge upon informers.
They blackmail the boatmen and carry on
their smuggling under the very eyes of our
soldiers.
The Pirates of Mindanao.
The worst place for pirates, however, is
in the southern part of the archipelago.
The Moros have been pirates for ages, and
they have had their pirate settlements in
Palawan, Mndanao and the Sulu Islands.
The sultan himself is professional pirate,
who is only restrained by the fear of our
government. There is one pirate chief in
northeastern Mindanao who until very re-
Getty has been sailing along the coast and
collecting tribute from the villages at the
mouth Of a cannon. Shortly before our
troops came into Matt he entered that har-
Dor and sent word to the merchants that he
must have a certain sum of money at once
or he would blow up the town. The presi-
dente was a Spanish eX-lieutenant, as brave
as lion. He had several small howitZers,
which he lined up on the shore, and then
sent back his reply, telling the pirate to
fire and be hanged but that if he did the

This presidente was in charge of the port
when Gen. Bates called and Gen. Bates

except when that pirate appeared. "Then,"
said ne, 81 will raise black flag above 1t,
just like that used by the pirate. This
means, we will fight to the death and give
no quarter"
The pirate vessels Of the Moros have raw
aged the southern coasts of our possessions
for more than two hundred years. In times
past they attacked all the towns near the
shore and enslaved many people. Old Datto
Utto, who lives near Cottabato. has been a
famous pirate in his day, and Datto Piang
