Inc social lie OF the American res
ident in the Philippine islands differs
greatly in many respects from that
of the same class of people at home.
In everything, and everywhere, the
military takes first place. The wives
and daughters of generals, colonies,
and even lieutenants, are, generally
speaking, the arbiters of social des-
tiny, and if civilian fails to meet
their approval, he may as well aban-
don his social aspirations. He may
have frequent invitations to Mrs.
Governors" dinners and to Mrs.
Commissioners" teas, but if his name
does not appear among those whose
presence is desired at Mrs. Gene
RAILS reception" he will be compelled
to admit that his social success is far
from complete
Everybody drives in Manila If one
can afford a pair-and the native po-
| mics are not expensive-he drives a
neat victoria of diminutive proper
| tions to conform to the size of his an
imals. If he is limited to a single
pony, he uses a 'calisea.' This is a
small two-wheeled carriage much like
a dog cart 1t is provided with a
small seat behind, which is always oc-
| cupied by a native footman-
The city and suburbs afford many
beautiful drives, but the chiefest pleas
ure in owning a carriage is to drive
to the band concerts on the Luneta
| This is a beautiful park, or large
grass plot, overlooking the bay, laid
out with drives and walks and two
neat band stands. 1t is entirely de-
void of trees, but very pretty never
theless, and is reached from the city
by beautiful wide drives along the sea-
shore, lined with acacias-
Concerts Universally Enjoyed.
Here the military bands play every
fair evening-and in Manila that
means almost every evening. Every
| body and his wife may be found al
| these concerts, sitting in their victo-
rias or leaving these in charge of
native servants and strolling about
the park. This is, indeed, a cosmopol
| itan throng. The sumptuous carriage
of the wealthy Filipino stands between
those of the American army officer
| and the government clerk struggling
| to keep up appearances on 500 a
month. There is the elaborate car
| riage of the Governor, with his liV-
cried servants, and beside it is the
| rickety, dilapidated "caratela" of the
| poor native. The wealthy Chinaman,
| in his gorgeous pajamas of peacock
| blue is followed by a red-fezzed Turk
! or turbaned East Indian. A group of
American soldiers, clad in khaki, sa-
lutes a number of British tars in white
sailor toys. Dark-eyed, black-haired
| Spanish senoritas cast languishing
glances at Uncle Sans dapper lieu
tenants to the apparent displeasure of
| the matronly colonel's wife strolling
along with the Gibsonesque beauty
who as evidently comes from the
Land of Liberty as do the Stars and
Stripes flying over yonder band stand.
All types of Filipinos are here-the
peon with his fiimsy white trousers
worn inside the shirt, and his bare
| feet; his cousin, the Filipino dude,
who has a government job and apes
| the Americans. He not only wears
shoes which painfully pinch his feet,
| but completes his imitation of gentili-
| ty with derby hat made in rs. There
is his mother. in short. shapeless skirt

1t is astonishing what distances can

Thy birth was in the forest shades;
Green boughs, and glimps of the sky,
Were all that met thine infant eye
Thy sports, thy war behring's, when a child
Were ever in the sylvan wild;
And all the beauty of the place
Is in thy heart and thy face.
The twilight of the trees and rocks
Is in the light shade of thy locks;
Thy step is the wind, that weaveS
Its playful way among the leaves.
Thine eyes springs, in whose serene
And silent waters Heaven is seen;
Their 1ashes are the herbs that look
On their young figures in the brook
The forest depths, by foot unprest,
Are not more sinless than thy breast;'
The holy peace that fills the air
OF those calm solitudes is there.

Peace Is Assured,
Says Oscar G. Straus

PORTSMOUTH. Aug. 15.-'I cannot
conceive that peace will not grow out
of these negotiations
This was the utterance of Oscar G.
Straus, former United States minister to.
Turkey and one of the American repre-
sentatives at The Hague court of ar

The statement followed the conference
which MIR. Straus and his four Hebrew

and Baron Rosen relative to the Condi-
tion of the race in Russia.
Coming fresh from such a Russian at

deemed significant. He declared he was
firmly convinced that Japan and Russia
both desired peace.
History diseloses no case wherein
belligerent nations who, having met
with such heavy losses in war and who
have been brought together as have
these, have failed to conclude a peace,
he declared -~-~--
It might require time, he said. but he
was firmly convinced that the wGr--iH

MANILA APPROVES
TAFT UTTERANCE
Americans There See It's
Deep Wisdom.
DISSATISFIED
Visiting Party's Train Delayed by
Soap Having Been Put in Engine
Boilers

MANILA. Aug. 15.-Secretary Taft's
speech to the Fflipines at the recent
banquet here is the sole topic of con-
versation.
There is undoubtedly deep dissatisfac-
ton among the Filipinos, but the Ameri-
cans will now be ffrmer. Throughout,
their belief has been that the Filipinos
want self-government regardless of
the consequences.
Mr.. Taft took the stand which should
have been taken from the first. He
said that President Roosevelt ana 1egis-
lators generally wanted to give the
Filipinos self-governmert. but the peo-
pie must know that this cannot be until
they are capable of it. Nine-tenths of
the population are totally incompetent
for self-government.
Democracy Wanted.
Answering a Filipino speaker, Mr..
Faft said:
1T would be wise TO inquire whether
the reason that in the private schools
there is an absence Of democratic feel
ing Is that the parents send their child
ren there because they are afraid to ap-
pear poor. Children in the public schools
must absolutely learn democracy
ernment of the country were trans
ferred now it would soon be controlled
by those who hold mortgages.
Many other powerful points were made
which prove that Filipino self-govern-
ment is extremely remote.
OLD Spanish Joke.
The party on Saturday left on a
special train for Camp Holzenberg.
After the train had run FIVE miles it
came to a standstfn. Somebody had
perpetrated the old Spanish trick of
putting soap in the boilers TO delay the
train. It excited much amusement
General Allen gave a farewell dinner

Afterward there was a grand bail in

yeit and other ladies were present.
There were a number of beautiful Fill
pino costumes.
The transport Logan sailed today for
the southern islands. Mr.. Taft and
forty of the leading people here were
on board. In addition. there were a
number of ladies. An interesting trip
is anticipated.
