HOLD TO BARBARIc UsAcEs
Singular Decorations Of Figures In
Churches and Cemeteries In
the Philippines.

Zone of the great curiosities to Amer.
leans who first visit the Philippines, !"
said an army officer. reports the Wash
ington Star, who has just returned after
4 three-years' detail in the archipelago
lis the method of decoration used in the
churches and cemeteries. especially in
the matter of the statues of Christ and
the virgin. Almost all the statues of the
Saviour in countries whose population
is dark-skinned are Of an Ethiopian hue,
and bear the facial characteristics of the
natives. 1t would never do to depict a
Filipino Christ as white man, for the
reason that the natives would not under
stand or respect it as highly as they
would Divine leader OF their own race.
And it follows that the mother OF Christ
must also be black, or at least ora dark
hue.
"But one of the funniest things that
ever caught my eye was statue In q
cemetery in Luzon. There was glass
case as high as man and perhaps four
feet square placed in a prominent part
of the city of the dead that caught and
held the eye Upon closer inspection
the case was seen to contain statue Of
a woman She was gowned In the most
elaborate fashion known to the Filipino
dressmaker, and a modern hat Of the
Gainsboro type was set jauntily over
her ear, the broad brim falling away in
a dashing style from. her left eye. The
hat was the most attractive feature Of
the whole thing, being really stylish
creation, copied. without a doubt, from
some fashion book of New York styles.
At the foot of this wonderful statue
were representations OF many OF the
animals of the Philippine forest all COM
ing up to worship it, and as a curiosity
it had no competitor in the entire island.
But the officers and soldiers Of the army
who were in the neighborhood. and who
went to see it, were at loss to under
stand its meaning until padre came to
the rescue. He explained that it was
statue of the Virgin Mary. and the con-
sternation of the Catholic soldiers may
be imagined when they looked upon
what they thought to be dissertation
of sacred subject.
''The padre, however. soon quelled
their anger by explaining to them that
the Filipino wanted as much decoration
for his religious subjects as he could get.
and that he would not appreciate statue
of the virgin clad in the garments that
are familiar to us as the raiment Of
purity. He demanded more than sim
pie garment wound about the form, and
the priests had to respond to the demand
in order to have their teachings COM
mand respect. The customary garb Of
the virgin is too much like that worn by
the natives to appeal to them, and they
would not readily admit the superiority
of being whose dress was not more
elaborate than their own. So it is as
much a custom of the country to dress
the virgin in fine raiment as 1t is to paint
the face and body of the Christ to corre-
spond with the hue which Is familiar to
the natives, and have heard of several
other cases where statues of the virgin
are finished In the very latest creations
of the modiste's and milliner's art"

cUBANs YET UNFRlENDLY.
Government Official Reports Result
of Observations Made on q
Recent Visit.

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Taylor returned to Washington recently
from a trip to Cuba He says that the
natives still entertain dislike for the
people Of this country.
"The native Cubans do not" he said,
"seem very friendly toward us, while
the Spaniards are especially friendly.
Of course, l do not refer to Cuban OFF,
Gals, but to the people, who seem to en-
terrain some sort of fear that 1t is
the intention, at no remote date, Of this
country to annex Cuba, and that Ameri-
can enterprise and capital will come in
and dominate affairs to the detriment
of the interests of Cuban residents. This
feeling undoubtedly viii be allayed as
time goes on.
"Cuba was a pleasant disappointment
tome. The city of Havana is kept scrupu-
lousy clean. have never seen an Amer
lean city where the streets and alleys
were cleaner than in Havana, thanks to
Gen. Wood and others. The country out
side the city of Havana is quite pic
turesque, and surprisingly fertile There
are forests of sugar cane and vast to-
bacco plantations and cocoanut groves,
and pineapple orchards without number.
The city of Havana is notably lacking in
hotel accommodations. There are
numerous hotels there, but they are not
up to proper standard, and prices are
extra high.
''The first general election was held
one Sunday while Twas there, and passed
off quietly. somewhat to the surprise OF
the officials. There had been anticipa-
ton of some rioting in various prov
inces, but good order generally prevailed
and the people acquiesced In the results. /"

Friars in the Philippines

/. Late advices from the Philippines
state that the church question is prac-
tically settled. The friar lands Ques-
ton, from having been paramount
issue, has become dead one and the
friars themselves back number.
There are only about 300 Of them left
in the islands, and they are not In q
position to give any trouble. The pur-
chase of their lands by the govern

deems the chief promise OF the United
States to the natives. The three Amer

izing the Catholic church on American:
lines and cooperating heartily with
the civil authorities IN promoting the
education of the natives. Altogether,
great work has been done, and the
foundation laid for still, greater prog
