TILIPINO's PROGRESS.
Mrny improvements Under Amerf-
can Occupation.


when I went to the Philippines In
1900, says Ex-Governor Henry G.. lde
in the New York Tribune, the islands
were in state of chaos. War was
being waged, government there was
none, and law and order were un-
known quantities. Now human life
and property are as safe throughout
the archipelago, with the exception
Of certain districts of Samar and
Leyte, as they are within the bound
aries of the United States. The ter
rors Of brigandage which are felt In
Samar and Leyte are not new.
These Pulijanes preyed upon the ma
tives for generations before the ar
rival OF the Americans, and Will
probably continue to do so until they
are exterminated. They do not mo-
lest foreigners, as rule. but choose
the safer victims they find among the
poor people of the native rural dis
tricts.
Practically all branches OF tho
Philippine government are now un-
der the Civil Service. All appoint
ments, except the very highest. are
made from lists of eligible persons
who have passed a satisfactory ex-
animation for the places, and pro-
motions within the service are made
upon the same basis. 1t is a fact that
politics has less to do with appoint
ment or promotion in office In the
Philippines than here In the United
States. The officials have found Civil
Service methods an excellent protec-
tion for themselves, and would not
under any consideration have the
order of things changed to the spoils
system.
The educational system estab-
lished by the United States is first
class. There are trade schools estab-
lished by the government, as well as
schools for the teaching of English
and the ordinary branches of learn
ing, and many of the municipalities
have grade schools of their own
which would compare favorably with
similar institutions in the states. All
told. there are between four hum
dred thousand and five hundred thou
sand pupils regularly attending
school in the Philippines, and every
one of them is learning the English
language. The government has sent
eight hundred teachers from this
country to the Philippines to instruct
Filipino teachers in the English lam
guage.
In the line of public improve
ments the government has spent
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-01-17

tremendous amount OF money, and
will continue to spend It, About
100000 has been spent upon the
harbor at Manila to make 1t safe for
the largest oceangoing vessels. and
larger sums are being spent upon tho
harbors Of Ilolo and Cebu. Many
miles of fine roads have been con-
structed, and bridges have been
thrown across many of the rivers to
make the highways between the prin-
cipal towns OF value at all seasons of
the year.
One Of the most important mat
ters taken up by the government was
the investigation of tropical diseases
which Is now being carried on in the
laboratory established at Manila. At
this laboratory smallpox vaccine and
various serums for the cure and pre-
vention of diseases in man and beast
are prepared. A serum preparation
for the prevention of rinderpest,
which threatened to exterminate the
cattle OF the islands, has proved won
derfully successful and the disease
has been practically stamped out.
When 1t appears. here and there at
infrequent intervals. force from
the laboratory proceeds to the herds
infected and puts an end to the
epidemic. BY this means many mil
lions of dollars worth of valuable
animals have been saved. and one of
the most serious menaces to the pros
prity of the islands has been re-
moved. Smallpox was prevalent be-
fore the American occupation. but
since vaccination has been carried
on to an extensive degree through
out the centers of population. the
disease has disappeared In it's epi-
demic form.

EARTHQUAKE IN JAMAICA.
Heavy Loss Of Life and Property in
Capital City.


Holland Bay, Jamaica, Jan. IT,
An earthquake shock of several min
tes duration, followed by several les
ser shocks in quick succession, shook
Kingston violently at 4.30 o'clock
last Monday afternoon. A conserva-
teenth of the city was destroyed by
the shocks and the fire that followed
Immediately, and that thirty people
were killed and about 800 injured.
With the first shock many strust-
ures in the poorer part of the city
the wharves where the wreckage of
the freight sheds offered immediate
fuel. The clogging of the streets with
debris and the great confusion fol-
lowing the shocks paralyzed the fire
department for time and the
flames along the waterfront had
gained considerable headway before
1t could bring to bear any effective
work.
Immediately after the first severe
shock the people rushed into the
streets. Succeeding shocks toppled
over weakened walls on many of
them. Rescue work began at once.
The General Hospital was not de-
stroyed by the quake. Thither carts
and stretchers bore the wounded as
fast as they were rescued from the
wreckage.
The shock destroyed the Myrtle
Bank Hotel. The British military
station was destroyed and the camp
ho7pital for invalided soldiers was
likewise wrecked entirely.
Sir James Ferguson is the only
foreigner reported killed. No other
foreigners are missing.
