ritories"
But the reports lately received by the secretary
of war state slavery does exist in the territory
under the authority Of the Philippine assembly
Included In this territory are Pampanga where
the little Negrito orphans are sold after the man
ner already described; Cagayan, where chlldren
are reported by a district official to be enslaved
whipped and subject to work at all times;
Isabella, where Professor Worcester says slavery
ia still common Rombon, whose native lieuten-
ant governor during the summer Just passed has
reported on his recent efforts to have returned
to their parents large group Of children enticed
from school, sold for SIS apiece; also Tarloc, Ba-
taan Zambales and numerous other provinces
where Professor Worcester says slavery prevails
All Of these have representatives in the assembly.
Without hesitation" says Professor Worcester,
'I express the opinion that, apart from false
and foolish pride which makes the persons con-
cerned unwilling to admit the existence of slav-
cry the chief reason why assemblymen object to
the law which they have tabled Is that it would
not only prohibit and penalize slavery, but would
necessarily also prohibit and penalize peonage,
which is so common and widespread that 1t must
be called general. Indeed, have no hesitation
in asserting that It prevails in every municipality
in the Philippine islands"
While on his last visit Of inspection to Palawan
Professor Worcester says he received reports
that Assemblyman Sandoval, who represents the
province in the legislature had, when he attend
ed that body last year, taken young native girl
to Manila, promising to put her in school, but
that, instead, he had compelled her to work for
him as house servant. She escaped, but he re-
captured her and returned her to Manila. Il have
not made the slightest effort to get the peonage
records of Philippine assemblymen" adds Pro
fessor Worcester 'but have taken cases as they
came, yet three of the relatively very limited
number furnished me concern members or ex-
members Of the assembly. Is 1t any wonder that
that body refuses to consider law prohibiting
and penalizing peonage?"
A bill to abolish Philippine slavery and pecn
age In every form is to be introduced in our
congress by Senator Borah Of Idaho, whose reso-
luton calling upon the secretary of war brought
to light the facts in the Worcester report and
who is appalled, by the further revelations of
the Phipps report.
After returning to the United States Professor
Worcester will devote some time to lecturng In
favor of abolition of slavery in the archipelago.

out joint or crack in the whole area
covered. 1t Is imperyious to water;
moisture cannot pass down through It.
nor can ground damp pass up. 1t can
be worked into forms required in such
places, and it wears well. A further
advantage is its comparative cheap
ness Another is the effective resist
ance that it gives to rats; these I'M
firing "sappers and miners" are non
plussed when faced by well-laid con-
crete floor
Open channels alone are permissible
in the buildings we are dealing with;
covered drains can never be kept sani-
tary in these places--not, at any rate,
under the treatment it is found practi-
cable to bestow upon them there.
Here, again, concrete comes to the
front on account Of the regularity and
smoothness Of outline it is possible to
give them in that material. A con-
crete channel can be effectively swept
or scraped with ease, and bucket or
two Of water swilled along its course
will leave it comparatively sweet and
clean.
Limitations Of Concrete.
But while concrete is eminently well
adapted for flooring the parts OF farm
buildings that are label to be soiled
by the tied-up animals, it is not so well
suited for their stalls or lairs 1t Is all
right as regards smoothness, but it
seems to be too cold for both cows
and pigs to lie upon unless abund-
ance Of bedding or litter is at the dis
posal Of the attendants. When heavy
horses come 1t is hardly durable
enough; the pounding Of their iron
bound heels are too much for concrete.
The passages and channels Of the
three places we started with can have
no better flooring medium than con-
crete, but something a little warmer
and less unyielding is required for
both cows and pigs to lie upon. Horses
might be left to take advantage Of its
we're 1t more durable
against their heels, because they usu-
ally have more bedding afforded them
and they have less time to lie down.
Brick Pavement
Makes a very suitable floor for the
cows stall, and it answers equally
well for the pigs bed. Well shaped
building bricks laid on a bed of lime
Or cement serve the purpose admira-
bly,. The COWS can never soil their
stall floors, provided the building is
arranged to meet their requirements;
neither do the bigs mess their sleep
ng place provided it is kept clear of
he rest Of the floor space. At this
ate there is not much likelihood OF

the pigs rarely mess these plat

traders is to get Negrlto parents intoxicated with
vino" Of which they are Unfortunately fond, and
then buy their children from them while they
are drunk When the improvident Negrito Is
suffering from hunger it is comparatively easy
to buy his children.
Under such circumstances" says Professor
Worcester, Il have personally known Negrito
girl OF manageable age to be purchased for rice
worth $3.50 in gold
"a comparatively short time ago" he adds, "a
Negrito girl was brought in, as a pony or a
carabao might be, and offered for sale to the wife
of an English gentleman living in the outskirts
Of Manila"
He gives details of the cases Of dozen Negrito
slaves known to be residing right in the city Of
Manila
Another tribe which is especially victimized
by the slave dealers Is the Ifugaos. They apply
the name 'jimbut" to their unfortunate fellows
who become articles of commerce and who often
change owners several times before reaching the
country of the Ba-li-uon (Christians). Some time
ago girl of this tribe, seventeen years old, was
sold for two water buffalo, some chickens and a
small amount Of money while there is record
Of sales of men and boys for amounts ranging
from SIS to $35 Lieut. Gov. Walter F. Hale of
the sub-Province Of Kalnga, reports that on sew
eral occasions when he has been trying cases in
his capacity of justice of the peace. slaves have
been offered to him on condition that their mas
tiers be acquitted of crimes.
It is still common for Filpinos living near to
the Tagbanuas and Ilongots to obtain children
and adults of these tribes by capture. Slave-hunt
ing and keeping still prevail in the forest fast
nesses of the Province of Augusan, in Mindanao
the scene of many historic slave-hunting raids.
Natives living back from the coast in Fam
boanga are reported by the district auditor still
to practice "a certain amount OF slavery" The
heads of families still regard 1t as their right
and do sell their daughters as wives or concu-
bines to the highest bidders"
An American official who has resided in the
Philippines for IA years. and whose duties have
brought him into every province, reports to Mr..
Phipps that almost every person associated with
the 'Filipinos to any extent is aware Of the fact
that slavery exists
Reporting on the slave traffic in girls, he says:
4 personally have had a number Of offers Of
this kind and 1t is a generally known fact that
large percentage Of the Chinese who have Fiji
pino wives or queridas actually bought them at

ties without pay for their services. Some are
shipped to China. Some are bought outright for
cash. from their parents Indeed even the pupils
in the schools instituted by Uncle Sam have
been secretly enticed from their homes by false
promises and have been sold into slavery and
peonage.
Those black dwarfs, the Negritos, whom many
OF us saw at the St. Louis exposition, and who
are regarded by ethnologists the aboriginal in
habitants OF the island, are particularly sought
as slaves perhaps because their people are usual
ly willing to sell them.
When one OF these is desired by the slave
trader he goes or sends up into their mountain
haunts and enters into negotiations with the
chief of the tribe With him the bargain is made
for the delivery Of girl or boy, as desired, the
price ranging from $50 to $780, or even $780, The
amounts given are the equivalent of these prices
in our money
The chief agrees to deliver the slave to
designated psptg, who will in turn deliver him to
the purchaser, and take the money.
Many Negrito children fall into the hands Of
the slave traders in this way A father and
mother both die, their orphans being left with
no one to care for them. SO the head men of
their tribe according to the native custom, be-
come responsible for the disposition of the or
phans who are considered a burden upon society.
To appease the gods and relieve the tribe Of
this burden II used to be the custom for the
headmen to hold solemn session and condemn
all these orphans to death. But as times have
been hard in the hills" in lieu Of this slaughter
of the innocents 1t has become the custom Of the
headmen to enter into negotiations for the sale
Of orphans. This procedure has now become
quite popular as well as lucrative, SO that agents
in the Negrito country are furnishing slaves for
people even In Manila Thus during the present
wear a Negrto boy about ten years old was
bought through residents of San Fernando, Pam
panga. BY Joaquin Aldecoa, who paid $S5 for him
and took him to Manila by train. Scores Of SINH
lar cases are reported to the war department by
name
It is customary for the purchaser to call In a
priest and have his slave baptized as soon as It is
purchased. this ceremony, according to the an
cient tradition establishing ownership on the
baptismal records, just as does the registration
Of a COW or horse 1t also serves as an excuse
for the statement that the slave has been adopted
into the family of the purchaser. as is always
claimed.

the commission bill on the table,

only approach to a reason was

four years ago, that the WORD
slavery be stricken out OF the
title of the act, because 1t does
not exist in the Philippines"
Some time ago the resident
commissioner Of the Philippines

Quezon, rose in his wrath and
stated:
IF there is anything in the
Philippines akin to slavery or
compulsory service, it cannot be
found in the provinces to which
