IN THE PHILIPPINES

A late dispatch from Manila makes
unpleasant reading. About forty AMI
erican soldiers had just been caught
in ambush by a large force of Moros
in the island Of Mindanao with the
result that two officers and fifteen en-
listed men were killed and five men
wounded. The loss of the men is bad
enough but the news has further sig
nifcance in the light which it sheds
upon Philippine conditions.
The island of Mindanao Is nearly MS
large as Luzon, and about the size Of
the State of Ohio. It contains a popu-
lation of not far from two millions
and it is needless to remark that they
are all or nearly all hostile to Amer
lean rule. OF course we can whip them
into some kind of submission but what
. condition it is to exist under the
American saying nothing of the
poor fellows whose lives are sacrificed
In the work.
!IIlMIIlIIIIilI
What . dreadfully demoralizing
place the Philippines must be! An
army oficer who contracted a biga-
nous marriage in San Francisco has
been pronounced insane, and his dis
ability is stated to be due to service
in the Philippines. We have heard that
climate Of Manila made accountable
for all sorts Of speculation and fraud
We have heard it blamed for what the
strict would call immoralities, but new
er yet have we heard it accused of
causing bigamy in San Francisco. A
trip to Manila seems to be q neces.
sarry preliminary to full enjoyment
Of life.
The reputation of Texas for shott.
ing scrapes which has been on the
down grade lately, has been upheld
by one 8. L. Nixon, a wealthy plant
er. Mr.. Nixon became involved in an
argument with two other gentleman
and killed both Of them before they
could do him any harm. No innocent
bystanders we're injured.
Japan is said 20 have succeeded ad.
mirably in civilizing Formosa since il
was coded by China, and in the shor,
period Of seven or eight years the
trade OF the island has enormousI,
expanded.
The Philippines have proved bat
investment for Uncle Sam, and eac1
year the cost of holding them is NOR,
than they are worth
