Japs out of Hawaii into the United
States.
II find the general condition of the
Philippines bad" said Rosenberg. but
that Governor Taft and the Philippine
Commission are making strong effort
to bring about a better state of affairs.
The present condition is due to the
fact that some OF the interior prov
inces are still terroriZed by rowing in
surgents, to ravages Of cholera and
plague, to the rinderpest epidemic,
which has killed of large proportion
of the caribaa, the animals of draft.
and to the fact that there is agitation
upon the part OF some employers to
open the way for Chinese labor immi-
grafton The people, who are not yet
wholly reconeiled to American occu-
patton, lay to it their recent calamities.
The discomfort gives the insurgents
chance to make trouble. The prov
inces are gradually being pacifled.

but the Filipinos are not lazy. With
proper instruction bysAmericans they
develop rapidly into skilled workmen.
The statement that they are lazy and
incompetent is sent out by employers
who wished to get the doors opened
to the Chinese, who will work for less,
and thus enable the employers to
amass fortunes in a few years. Under
Spanish rule Filipino labor was on a
par with slave labor. The native
eagerly grasps his opportunity to at
tain better system of things, and,
where he is fairly paid and decently
treated, does good work. Wages range
from 40 cents to s1.50 day. Native
unions are being formed in Manila.
I'm Hawaii the Sugar Planters AS
ISOLATION controls the government and
everything else. The policy is to dis
courage settlers, to check all immi-
grafton except that of japanese and
Koreans, the latter working cheapest
of all. There are 10000 Japs in the
Islands Koreans are coming in fast.
Ten thousand are being brought in
now The Japs are really being dis
placed and they are moving on to the
United States"
Rosenberg found the condition. Of
labor in Japan to be almost as bad as
in China, though from different causes.
China has never risen; as enlightened
Japan rises it brushes back the la
borer.
MORE FOOD FOR JACK
LONDON, Oct. A new dietary
scheme came into operation in the
British Navy this week. The blue
Jackets and marines will for the first
time be provided with jam and milk
and they also henceforward are to have
five meals a day. Under the former
regime the country supplied the sailor
with only three meals in twenty-foul
hours, and Jack and joey were officially
presumed to go without food between
supper time at o'clock on one day
and o'clock breakfast on the mex
day. The gap had to be filled in by
private expenditure at the canteen.
In order to supply each man witt
two ounces of jam and three-Cuarters
of an ounce of unsweetened condensed
milk about $4,000 pounds of the former
and 5000 tins of the latter will be re-
quired daily. In addition, the crew:
will also receive half an ounce of cot
fee daily, which makes a total of 375(
pounds for the entire service.
