On August 1s Pozharski. intending to coerce
the Cossacks, arrived outside Moscow. and three
days later Chodkiewicz. the Polish general came

without hesitation, express the
opinion that the chief reason why the
assemblymen object to such a law as
the one they have tabled is that it
would not only prohibit and penalize
slavery, but would necessarily penalize
peonage as we'll. And peonage is so
widespread that it must be called gen.
eral. Indeed, have no hesitation in
asserting that it prevails in every mu-
nicipality in the Philippine Islands.
'In Manila an assemblyman, Silvero
D. Cecilio, was caught red handed in
slave ownership, but no prosecution
resulted, and the slave girl involved
was left in the possession of the as
semblyman, although she appealed to
the courts and complained of brutal
treatment. But why multiply cases?

the subject of slavery by Louis D.

tales of certain doings so that some
thing might be done about it, and he
wrote out a very lengthy and detailed
account, including the prices at which
women and children were sold into

a hundred dollars.

so ignorant of conditions there as to
be unaware of the conditions I have
just described and of the fact that
many Moros Of that place held slaves
until compelled to give them up by the
provincial government administered by
me as secretary of the interior, but if
so he he has no right to claim that he
is Filipino familiar with conditions
isabella is a province also subject
to the authority of the Philippine as
sembly, but it differs from Palawan in
that the large majority Of it's inhabi-
tants are Christians and in the further
fact that it is organized under the pro-
Vlnclal government act and is there
fore not in any way subject to me as
secretary of the interior. Yet slavery
has been common in this province
from the beginning of historic times,
and it is common there today. Its oc-
currence is admitted, and it's condi-
tons are described in q report made
by fellow townsman of Senior Que
zon, Francisco Dichoso, who was gov
ernor of the province when he made
the report in 1903.
william H. Taft was civil governor
of the Philippines at the time, and he
directed that full investigation Of
these facts be made. Among other
things Governor Dichoso himself had
been charged with owning slaves, but
he denied it. not because there were
no slaves to be had, but because it
was against his nature to treat human
beings as property.
Children Sold to China.
''Ambos Camar1nes is regularly or
gained province, under control of the
Philippine assembly. yet since the
American occupation children have
been sold into slavery there for depor-
tation into China. The essential facts
were reported by the Filipino governor
and the Filipino fiscal of the province"
Dean Worcester presents records to
prove his assertions, including a letter
from Lieutenant Governor SAM of
Ramblon, where seventy children were
enticed from home DR.. Worcester
then says:
"Sanz has subsequently recovered q
number OF these children, but to do
SO he had to enlist the aid of the Sc
cret service at Manila and the Philip
pine constabulary at Capiz. The great
er part of the children, however, have
never been located. The men con-
cerned in these transactions were ar
rested and tried. and the nrincinal
who was operating under an assumed
name, was convicted Of abduction OF
minors.

has been done to stop this traffic in hu-
man fesh?' And really do not know
where to begin. Upon receiving re-
ports of the slavery which existed In

Prosecutions Unsuccessful

'Three of these cases were prosecut-
ed before the court of Nueva Viscaya,
and the slave traders were acquitted,
the judge basing his action on the be-
lief that the. children sold were or
phans and on the further ground that
they were not locked up, guarded, men,
aced or threatened or otherwise de-
prived of liberty by force, at least
while in the custody Of the accused.
Another test case was brought
against Thomas Cabanag, we'll
known slave trader, who made a bust
ness of buying and selling Ifugao chill
dren. He was charged with illegal de-
tention in connection with the admit
ted sale of an Ifugao girl named Jima-
va. He was convicted in the lower
court, but appealed to the supreme
court March 16, 1907, and went scot
free. This was the famous slave case
in which Judge Tracey wrote the opin-
ion.
