Girl Became Famous.

Once in while a slave girl becomes
famous. There is the thirteen year old
child. for instance, whose mother sold her
for some pigs. chickens. rice and cloak
TO Thomas Cabanag, wellknown slave
trader Cabanag. In turn sold her TO
man In Nueva Viscaya, and the latter
found purchaser In a native OF Isa-
bella. This thing became known by
chance and Cabanag was hailed into
court, He was charged with illegal de-
tention. for there was no prohibition of
slavery by name In the law He was
convicted and appealed to higher court
The higher court found him gu!ltless He
had not detained the girl by actual
physical force. He was turned loose and
slavery Immediately had boom. a great
increase In prosperity, for the case was
followed all over the Islands as prece-
dent
This led to agitation by indigna mt
Americans for q statute making slavery
illegal and punishable The Philippine
assembly refused TO act. For years II
put off taking cogntza nee OF slavery, as
sertng that 1t did not exist, and there
fore the request TO penal!Ze II was an
Insult to Filipino civilization.
