Neerito Servants Slaves.

"One man told me conhdenually that
practically every Negrito servant in these
parts had originally been bought. He ex-
planned that they are generally bought
when quite young and kept as slaves
Until they become old enough 10 shift
for themselves: that they are kept in
servtude throughout their minority; that
when they reach the age OF Negrito dis
eretion they learn that there is no law
which cOmpels them 70 remain in servi-
tude. and that If they are dissatisfied
after they learn their rights In the mat
Ter. they leave the owners house and
either return 10 the mountains or seek
emp.oyment-the latter being the more
usual. as. after they have been away
from their native hills from childhood
they have lost all connection with the hill
people and have no occasion TO return TO
the mountains
This seems 70 be the limit Of the slaV-
cry as in vogue here. IL IS confined 10
Negritos, and lasts until the slave knows
That he may escape with impunity. When
many Of them learn their rights they 90
not leave their masters, as they have bet
ter homes than they could otherwise pro-
VIDE for themselves"
Mr.. Silver then describes how slave

purchase sends up into the mountains

Gomez in Role Of Dictator.

President Gomez has made II pos
sible TO perpetuate himself in power by
suspending the constitution and de-
claring himself dictator, on the pretext
that the revolution" started by the
Castro partisans made such action nee
essary. This revolt" or whatever
there was of It, has been suppressed,
but General Gomez continues as dicta-
tor. with the constitution still sus-
pended.
General Hernandez insisted the Gas
fro revolution" was a farce" largely
fomented by the Caracas government
TO enable President Gomez to serve
four years more. Seeing there would
he no hope for reforms for at least four
wears. because Of what "El Mocho"
called the usurpation of power by Cen
eral Gomez, he made up his mind to
act. abandoning the treatment he was
under at the hands of a physician to
answer the call.
Just when and where this contem-
plated uprising will take place is not
diyulged, but General Hernandez went
away to be near the scene Of conflict

Worcester's Charges Sustained.


IN submitting his report Mr.. Phipps
saws: i have no hesitancy in saying
that 7 think the charges Of Secretary
worcester. that slavery exists in the
philippines. are fully sustained. a ques-
ton has been raised as TO the term 'siav-
cry saying that it was not a legahzed
institution in the Philippines. such as II
Has in the United States.
q do not think that the question Of the
i-TsIitv or illegality enters into the ques-
tion Of facts as 10 whether or not slavery
exists. as slavery exists in many coun-
tries which. perhaps, have no statutes
on the subject at all. so that human s'av-
cry is a condition Of human beings where
one human being keeps another human
being in state Of servitude or bondage;
and where one person is subject TO
the will or command Of another;
where the slave is obliged to labor for
q master without the consent Of the ser
want AL the conditions that enter into
such a definition Of slavery exist in the
Philippines. and I am quite certain that
his excenency, the Governor General, and
Secretary Worcester. will be sustained in
their allegations that slavery exists in
the Philippines.
'The almost universal report made 10
me by each person who had been asked
70 Investigate was that slavery in some
form existed, 10 MS personal knowledge;
with a number II is a form Of peonage
which is the most extensive form Of sldv-
cry pracused here; with many others. as
will be noted by the reports submitted
here it is the barter and sale Of human
beings by one person 70 another, who
holds such persons so sold 10 him in abso-
lutte sub1ugation. and they perform duties
and labor for him without compensation
further than scanty clothing and, in
many instances. Indifferent food"
From J. A Silver. district auditor at
San Fernando. Province Of Pampanga.
Mr.. Phipps received a report saying: 1T
IS admitted that slavery, sale Of human
beings and involuntary servitude exist
IN this province. But in every case the
one who gave me the information made
his statements to me only after being as
sured that his name would not be used
In any connection with any investigations
or reports that might follow.

a the earnest solicitation of his par
tisans. who insisted he must lead the
revolt. They wanted him near at hand
when the fireworks are set of.
Only this much is known Of his plans.
He will meet in San Juan DR.. Leo
poldo Baptista. formerly Secretary
General II the Venezuelan government.
who has occupied many high offices in
his country. DR.. Baptista arrived IN
New York a few months ago, after
fleeing from Venezuela 10 escape i'm
prisonment by order OF President
Gomez on account OF his plain spoken
views in opposition TO those held by tho
President.
Or. Baptista remained in New York
long enough 10 assure General Her
nandez he meant 10 enlist in his cause
and then he sailed for Europe. He will
arrive in Porto Rico from Europe about
the same time General Hernandez gets
there. Then, probably together, the
enemies of Gomez will go 10 Curacao,
Dutch West Indies. Several Of the
military leaders Of the Hernandez
movement are there.
Among them are General Olivares and
General Davila, Davila having been
one OF the best fighters in the army
under General Castro when Castro was
President. but Davila has deserted his
former leader for Hernandez.
Port of Spain RalIyins Point
After consulting with his followers in
Curacao, General Hernandez will go
to Port Of Spain, Trinidad, where more
of his warriors await his coming.
After he has made his observations the
general will finally decide on what ac-
ton TO take II he is Of the same mood
then as he was yesterday, when he
sailed, that action will mean war.
Before he left here General Herman
dez asked again that it be emphasized
that he had no interest in General
Castro and was in no way associated
with the former President or his fol-
lowers.
General Hernandez was formerly
Venezuelan Minister at Washington.
He served under President Castro, but
being a man OF political independence
he relinauished that office rather than
countenance the official actions Of Cas-
tro. He became a member of the
Council Of Government when President
Gomez assumed Office, but disagreeing
with him he decided to go into exile
in preference to indorsing by his Official
position the government of Gomez,
which Eel Mocho" declared was a con-
tinuation Of the policies Of General
Castro.
General Hernandez has been in many
battles and has been wounded on the
field eighteen times. His sobriquet of
lei Mocho." which is Spanish for The
Manned" is the result Of his loss OF two
fingers in OF OF the battles in which
he fought. He has a large following in
Venezuela.
He said before sailing: 1T is well
known fact that tyrants cannot see be-
yond their own convenience. Under
existing conditions the only power that

II was in response 70 this public opin-
ion that General Hernandez decided a
few days ago to sail away. For year
the general. aided by several secre-
taries and typewriters in his hotel
apartment. had kept in correspondence
with his friends at home and his agents

Also he has kept the alleged wrong
doings of the Gomez government before
the American people and before the
State Department at Washington.
He paid a visit to Secretary Bryan
in Washington month and half ago

the conditions in his country. He de-
clared he had held off until now be-

ton that was scheduled 10 succeed that

were to have begun on September 10.
The advices that reached General Her
nandez were that the elections were
not called which meant there could be
no congressional election Of President
in April, and consequently that Gomez
would continue in office another four
years. The constitution of Venezuela
forbids two consecutive terms for the
incumbent OF the Presidency.
