NO INTEREST.
Interest in Baseball In Hilo Has Ex-
pired Since Maui Teams Visit.

There seems to be a decided lack of
interest in baseball circles since the
advent of the Maui teams visit. The
schedule of games was arranged up to
January 1st, but since that time no eff
fort has been made to arrange a new
schedule. This shows a decided lack
of interest as well as courtesy towards
those who contributed TO maintain this
sport.
School has again opened, thus all for
mer players are on hand and probably
willing to assist in maintaining this
healthful and invigorating sport.

Philippine Population.

The estimated population of the Philip
pines is given at from 100000 to Il, O00, 900
people. A census Of the islands was taken
in 1887 by Spain, but it was far from per-
feet, and in fact was but little more than
guess for the greater part of the terri
tory, as Spanish officials never penetrated
TO the interior of several of the larger 10
lands, and it is doubtful if they ever Wis
tied a large number of the smaller ones.
A sanitary census of Manila taken in May
last year under the supervision of United
States army officers showed total popula-
ton Of 244,732, of which lsl, 1851 were Fill
pinos, 1867 Chinese, 1882 Americans,
1882 Spaniards and 900 of other rationale
ties. The American soldiers were not
enumerated in the total.

ornaments of silver bullion. OF far more
influence were the priests, an influence that
was much more often exercised for good
than for bad, and many evidences of their
rule are to be found throughout the is
lands in the shape of roads and bridges. To
be sure the natives were taxed for far more
of these conveniences than were built, but
it is a question if any would have been built
had it not been for the priests.
The real government of the islands lay in
the hands of the governor-general, a crown
appointee. He was assisted by council
of state. The minister of the colonies at
Madrid was the direct head of the gov.
eminent, as he was Of all the Spanish col
onies, but he was assisted by an advisory
council for the Philippines, residing in
Madrid, and to this council was specially
intrusted the interests of the Philippines.
The islands could never be properly
termed a Spanish colony. They were held
only as a military possession. To extot
money from the people, under the various
forms of taxation that cunning and rapacity
had devised, was the sole purpose of Spain
and the business and object of the govern
mental officers that were maintained there.
How much these extortions amounted to
will never be known outside of Spanish Of
fetal circles, but there were but few Span
ish officials sent TO the islands who did
not return TO Spain with a competence.

various forms OF bribery and Official dis

Of these expeditions encountered consid-
cradle opposition from small bodies of in
surgent troops, but were in the end sue
cessful in accomplishing the objects for
which they were organized with but small
loss Of life.
The details Of the campaigns of 1901 and
of the present year are so fresh in the pub
lie mind that rehearsal of their details
is unnecessary. OF last year the two most
important occurrences were the capture Of
Aguinaldo by Gen. Funston on March %
and the establishment of civil government
in the islands by the Taft commission on
July 4. There has been considerable fight
ing since that time. The campaign in Sa-
mar, with its attendant horrors, will prob
ably not soon be forgotten, either by the
participants or the American public, and
now promises to result in a number of
court-martials for different army officers

opposition TO American rule, and the Of

far eastern countries,
says "a richer isolated land or group Of
islands, viewed comparatively as 10 area and
population, variety of agriculture, mineral
and forest resources undeveloped, in addi-
ton to those already improved, cannot be
pointed out on the map of the world"
That paragraph gives in general way
the wonderful resources of the Philippines.
The soil of the islands is Of phenomenal fer
tility, but its capacities have been most
imperfectly developed, neither the natives
or the Spaniards seemingly never thinking
OF the future. When even improperly cultl-
waited as it has been it produces bountiful
crops Of tropical staples, such as sugar, to-
bacco, rice, cocoa, gums OF various kinds,
arrowroot, indigo, cotton, pepper, CO.
clinical, betelroot, areca nut, cocoanuts,
cocoanut oil and the Manila hemp so well
known TO commerce. OF this product be-
tween 600, 900 and 700 900 bales are exported
annually, OF which practically one-haf
comes TO the United States. The annual
value OF the hemp crop exported is about
$7,OOO,OOc.
The mineral resources Of the islands are
as yet almost an unknown quantity. Gold,
copper and coal are all found, but az yet
in limited quantities. Native legends are
authority for the tales of fabulously rich
gold mines, but these have never Deen
found. 1t is said that gold formed the chief
product of Luzon as far back as the third
century, and to-day it is mined in sew
eral sections of the island. Paracale
is the center of the gold mining industry,
and is a village that is but little known
OF to the majority of the people Of the is
lands excepting the Chinese traders who
purchase the product of the mines and dis
pose of it secretly in Hong Kong or Annoy.
1t is so far removed from the centers Of
population that even the Spanish officials,
ever looking for something to tax, failed to
seriously disturb it. Cebu, M'Ddora,
Panaon and Mindanao are all said 20 be
rich in gold deposits.
Luzon produces some copper, but the
mines, all of which are worked by natives,
are not of sufficient value TO warrant de-
velopment on a large scale, and the indus
try will probably continue primitive one.
There are comparatively few coal deposits
known in the islands. Cebu has a limited
coal belt Of rather inferior quality, and an
other coal field of some magnitude and of
better quality is located in the island OF
Masbate, not far from the coast. This
latter field has been worked to some extent
by local steamship owner who secured fuel
for his ships from this field 50 long as the
native laborers could secure it by the use
of crowbars only. When the vein ran be-
meath the ground, so that tunneling was
necessary, the field was abandoned. Prac-

but without doing any considerable damage.
As the American boats got within closer
range the smaller guns added their roar
TO that OF the larger ones. and the terrific
FIRE was kept up until 1885 when Dewey felt
that he had had enough for a beginner, and
not wanting TO spoil good thing too soon,
quit for breakfast. and a pull at the pipe

1t was not until 1880 that he again went
at the Spaniards. He had furnished suf-
ficisnt sport for his sailormen, and now
intended to finish the job in a hurry and
put the enemy out OF their misery without
further loss OF time, and before II could
interfere with his dinner arrangements.
The midday meal would be served aboard
the flagship at one, and il was necessary
that the job be completed and the muss
cleared up before that time. To accomplish
this every gun, big and little, that could
be brought into play, was used, and it was
but little more than an hour before all Of

to become veritable paradise for fortune
