Some of the above instances | give on
the authority of Jesuit priest who was
travelling among the Moros Just about the
time we took hold OF the islands. He
wrote about them to one of the generals
of the United States army and the latter
included them in his report to the gov
ernment. This man described other pun
ishments meted out by the chiefs of these
Mohammedan Moros. He says that they

which had been caused, not by nature,
but by a datto to whom he had spoken
disrespectfully. The datto ordered thai
the mans mouth be split and opened to
the edges of the jawbones. This was done
with a kris and 1t was then left to heal.
Strange to say, the man lived.
1t is strange that slavery cannot be put
down in the Philippines. The Spaniards
attempted it 300 years ago, and there have
always been laws against it, One reason
for the trouble with the Moros is that il
is hard to distinguish between the wife
ana the slave. The Moros believe thai
they have the right to as many wives az
they can support and. as I have said. the
Koran gives them four. Frequently the
chiefs have but one real wife and the
rest are slaves whose children do not in
