ence, ignorance, passion and indiffer-
ence of the people themselves oppose
to self-government. shall now
point out a still more formidable
barrier to native self-government in
the person of the intolerant, crafty,
brave, aggressive and war-like Moro.
(The name moro" is losely applied
by the Spaniards to any of the tierce.
darkskinned races, perhaps in mem
DRY of the trimming up the Dons
received at the hands of the Moors.)
The Moro People.
At the time of the arrival of the
Spaniards in the norther Islands, a
migratory movement was taking place
from the Malay peninsula to Borneo
and the southern Islands of the Phil
ippine group by what is supposed to
nave been a vast horde OF Malay
pirates who had been successfully de-
feated and driven from the main coast
of Asia. Whether this vas the char
aoter of the people who settled here,
it is positively known that piracy
was their principal occupation after
landing here. These people brought
with them the laws, traditions and
civilization of the Saracens, and the
religion of Mohammed. They we're
fierce, aggressive and war-like. and
practically no attempt was made to
restrain them for more than two hun
dred years. During this time, In
stead of knitting into strong Malay
colony, they broke into tribes, thus
enabling the Spanlards to get hold
upon them, and save them from the
wrath of other nations, whose COM
MERGE was being greatly interfered
with in these waters.
For many years prior to American
occupation and even after the sea
power of the Moro mad been destroy
ed by the Introduction of steam war
vessels into these waters, the Moros
made foraging expeditions into the
northern Islands for plumber and
slaves, until tie name Moro was and
still is enough to drive the timid
Filipino inhabitants from their homes
along the coast into the mountain
ranges.
On land, the Moros still had the
Spaniard blufred at the time of
American occupation. So anxious
was the Don for peace, that no pre-
tense at interference with the internal
affairs of the Moro was ever made.
Slavery and every torn of crime was
running riot here when the Ameri-
cans assumed responsibility for the
future good behavior of the Moro
population.
Sawyer, the historian, writing of
Mindanao during the year 1899, said:
1.-The present condition of the
island is most lamentable. Nothing
could be more dreadful; robbery,
outrage and murder are rampant.
Every evil passion is let loose, and
the labor of years has been lost. In
the words of one who knows the
country we'll, Mindanao has become a
seething hell and is in a condition
more dreadful than ever before in
historic times"
in the Cota5ato valley, under the
leadership of Dattos Ali and Dim
bangan, the Moros sacked the town
of Cotabato, killing many of the
principal inhabitants, stripping all
the Christian women naked and
marching them In this condition
through the streets, and. after select
