The Moros are nevertheless a race
of warriors. Spain tried many times
to bring them under complete sub
mission. but never succeeded, and.
although the Moros owned to allie
glance to Spain. the tie was very
slender.
Slavery is one Of the principal fea-
lures of life among the Moros. There
is hardly a single follower of a datto
who is not in his debt for money.
and this makes him the datto's
slave. These petty rulers have al
ways claimed and DO now the power
Of life and death over their slaves.
But the slaves are not such in the
same sense that the negro was held
before the war; The Moro slave is
more a peon of the soil and leads an
easy existence except when called to
war by his feudal dattO.
