OVER SEVEN MILLIONS
FIRST COMPLETE CENSUS OF THE
PHILIPPINES.
Manila Has 219,O2s Inhabitants
Enumerations for 343 Islands, tho
Most Populous Being Luzon.

The first accurate and complete census
of the Philippine Islands has just been re-
ported by the Philippine census bureau, or
ganized by Brig. Gen. j. P. Sanger. II
shows grand total of 7,635.428 of which
TAO are classified as wild and uncfvil-
ICED, although not without some knowl-
edge of the domestic arts The city OF
Manila is credited with 219,029 inhabitants,
10, 9O1 Of which live in the cascoes and other
vessels in the harbor and on the Pasig
river. Within the old walled city there
are II AGO inhabitants.
The tables give separate enumerations Tor
343 islands which bear names, and many
others are grouped together unnamed. The
most populous island Is Luzon, which con-
tains a total OF 3.798, sol, Of which 223,5O0
are classified as wild. Panay is next In
population with 1916, of which 14.933 are
wild; Cebu, third, with 592, PAT, all civilized,
and Mindanao is fourth, with 499,634, of
which 252 $40 are wild. Jolo, with a. 718 in
habitants, contains only 1.270 who are civ
ilized. and the province Of COtabato with
125. S75 people, has but 2313 civilized.
The tables and schedules were transcribed
and translated by the census office in this
city. although the enumeration employees
were mostly natives. The report is con-
sidered Of particular value in view of the
fact that previous enumerations, by the
Spariards, have been mostly estimates. The
population Is given by islands, provinces,
municipalities and barrios and Is again
classified by tribes and religions.

The Igorotes of Luzon.

OF the other wild tribes In the islands
the most important, perhaps. are the lgo-
rotes, in northern Luzon. The tribe is d.
vtded into several branches, one Of which.
inhabiting the subprovfnce of BOntoc, Is
said to be the most famous of head hunt
ers. Another curious tribe of head hunt
ers is the Ibilao, sometimes called lion
got, in the province of Isabella, while in
Mindanao are seventeen wild tribes, near
ly all of which have the beliefs and cere-
monial customs of savages They not
only take the heads of vanquished enc
mics, but their hands and hearts as well.
and offer human sacrifices to their de-
tiles.
Eight Civilized Tribes.
The report divides the civilized Fill
pinos into eight tribes. the Bicol, Caga-
yam, Ilocano. Pampangan. Pangasinan,
Tagalog, Visayan and Zambalan. the
most numerous of which is the Visayan.
While the great mass of the people are
Malays and had common origin. there is
a difference in their written and spoken
languages, but not much in their GUS
toms. For such progress as they had
made they are indebted. says the report.
somewhat to the Chinese, with whom
they came in contact hundreds of years
ago, before the arrival of the Spanish,
and since then to the religious orders,
which had contributed largely to their
civilization and education.
Superiority of the Females.
In chapter on the Bicol tribe, the gov
ernor of the province of Ambos Camarines
remarks that very noticeable character
istic Of that people Is the aggressiveness
displayed by the females and their evident
superiority to the males in business capac-
ity. Wherever family had risen from the
lower ranks of society to position of COM
parative affiuence and social Importance. II
was generally found due to the tact en-
ergy and close attention to business of the
female member of the matrimonial partner
ship.
The archipelago was divided into five do
ceses and 746 regular parishes, les mission
parishes and 116 missions.

superstitions of the Ilocanos.

Another interesting chapter is that which
relates to the uocanos, one of the eight
civilized tribes in the Philippines. Accord,
ing to the report, this tribe has many ana
varied superstitions, among which Is one
that prevents them from taking path'
marrying or starting on journey on
Thursdays. The raven they consider plro
of i'll omen, and when 1t croaks 1t Is re-
garded as a sign OF some misfortune. a
Gambler If he meets a woman on the way
to a gambling house, returns, as ne De-
lieves it a sign of bad luck.
These superstitions. and others of more
Injurious nature says the report. prevail
generally among the ignorant masses, and
are not unlike those which affiict many
people in the United States and other coun-
tries. 1t was needless to say that they
interfered with the daily affairs of life, and
were the cause of much unnecessary anxi-
ETY. and suffering, and sometimes of serious
crimes Fortunately, they would disappear
as the people became more Intelligent ana
rational and therefore less inclined to be-
lieve in bogies of any kind.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-06-03
The Negrftos.

There Is much In the report. however.
which departs from dry statistics, and
savors of the interest Of mysterious his
tory. For instance, In referring to the
Negritos, of which only 23,0CO remain ex-
tant, the report says 1t Is believed these
tiny people were the aborigines of the
islands They are distributed over many
of the different provinces and live In
primitive state having no fixed habitations
or occupations, but wander about In the
forests. living on such food as they can
find They are short in stature, the males
averaging only four feet ten inches ana
the females even less. Their color Is black
their hair woolly and bushy, and their
toes are remarkably prehensile, being USED
almost as well as fingers.
These people, says the report probably
approach as nearly to the conception or
primitive man as any people thus far dis-
covered. Their origin is shrouded In Cd
scurity. but from the fact that similar
types are found in .the Malay peninsula ana
on the islands in the Bay OF Genpai,- II Is
concluded they once occupied the entire
Malay archipelago.

the Russian squaui on gees out lof a
last fight before going To the bottom.
The previous repeated efforts of the
Japanese to cork" the harbor have
been as much with the view TO this
ultimate situation as for protecting
landings.
Nothing is known here of the Chefoo
reports of fighting at Inchentse, four
teen miles from Port Arthur, but the
general staff hardly believes the en-
emy could have advanced SO rapidly.
The admiralty denies the reports of
the loss of two Russian torpedo boat
destroyers while laying mines which
destroyed the japanese battleship Hat
suse. The officials say Port Arthur
has been heard from since the Hat
suse was blown up and ii the report
OF the loss of the torpedo boat destroy
ers was true they would have known
1t.
No surprise is expressed at the ad-
miralty at the Toxic report of the evil
dence contained in intercepted Rus
sian dispatches that the Hatsuse was
blown up by Russian stationary mines.
The officials decline, however, to com
ment on the subject except to reiter-
ate their denial of the charge that the
Russians used floating or driving
mines, which the officials have insist
ed on from the outset.

MORE JAPANESE TROOPS SAIL
ANOTHER ARMY DIVISION ON ITS
WAY TO THE SCENE OF
HOSTiLITiES.

Washington, May 31.-Advices re-
ceived here report the departure from
Japan OF another army division. While
it's destination is not stated it is con-
jectured that these troops are about
to close in the Russian rear in North
east Korea, cutting off the raiding par
ties which have threatened General
Kurokis communications.
There are no less than $4,000 sol
diers in the expedition.
The reported offer of Japan to China
to surrender TO her SO much OF Man
churia as already has been taken by
the Japanese troops is viewed here
with interest because of the possibil-
ity, if the offer is accepted by China,
that Russia will hold that the Celes-
tial empire has thereby violated her
pledged neutrality, thus affording
ground for attack upon certain parts
of Mongolia that would be of great
strategic value in the war. Although
the state department has consistently
insisted upon recognizing the sover-
eighty OF China over Manchuria, as
evidenced by the appointment of con-
suls under Peking eXeauateurs to that
province, it also has agreed to admit
the existence of a field of war in that
section. which field was under Russian
control at the outbreak of hostilities.
The alternate said to be presented
by Japan, of an administration of the
captured territory of an international
commission, is not likely to meet with
much favor in Washington. as the ex
perience of the government in the
Boxer uprising and the subsequent diff
ficulties in getting clear of the obliga-
tions incurred in conjunction with Eu-
ropean nations have not encouraged
further concurrent movements of that
kind.

St. Petersburg, May 31.-According
to information received by the Asso-

the Russian authorities since the bat

tend to prove that the primary object
OF the Japanese campaign all along

great cost to themselves does not alter
