MEXICAN REPUBLIC
CONTAINS MILLIONS
Of INDIAN RACE
Problem More Complex Than
That Which Confronted U. S.
MANY INTELLIGENT TRIBES
Some Are Still in a State of Primitive
SaVasery, While Others Have Fol-
lowed the Ways of the White
Man.

New York -Mexico's Indians pre-
sent a problem vastly more difficult
and more complex than any the Uni
ted States bureau of Indian affairs
ever tried to handle, says writer in
the New York Sun. In the first place
there are more of them.
There are now 100000 Indians in the
United States, while there are more
than 100000 pure blood Indians be-
tween the Rio Grande and Guatemala
besides a larger number of mestizos,
or mixed bloods.
According to the best figures obtain
able "a per cent of the inhabitants of
Mexico (about 100000 souls) are
wholly or partly of Indian blood. This
is 80 times as many Indians as are
now living in the United States.
Moreover, the Indians of Mexico
have been more conspicuous in public
affairs than the Indians of the United
States Benito JuareZ, the Mexican
patriot who overthrow the Emperor
Macmillan, was a pure Zapotec. Man
uel Altamirano, the Mexican author
and critic; Huerta and DR.. Urrutia
are other Indians.
The prominence which things Indian
have in Mexico is difficult for the New
Yorker who has never travelled in that
land to comprehend The Mexicans
hold an annual national festival in
honor of their aboriginal heroes, de-
spite the fact that the dominant ele-
ment in the population is the strain
descended from the Spanish conquer
ors The Mexicans are as proud of
Montezuma and Guatemotzin as the
Americans are Of the signerS of the
Declaration of independence.
Even the national seal comes from
the AZtecs, who, tradition says, were
induced TO settle on the marshy islets
which are now the City Of Mexico by
a sign from their gods, an eagle
perched on prickly pear strangling
a serpent.
Scholars have declared the Aztecs
calendar system was superior to that
in vogue in Europe at the time Of Cor
tez. The Mayas of Yucatan are held
by some students to have been even
further advanced than the inhabitants
of the Valley of Anahuac, or Mexico.
But the intelligence of certain In
dams only emphasizes the completely
of the Mexican Indian problem. One
student of the languages of Mexico,
which correspond pretty well with the
tribal divisions, concludes there are II
families of tongues and 100 dialects
These dialects are not slight varia-
tons, however, but present differences
so great that man knowing only one
dialect probably could not understand
man speaking an allied dialect. The
mountainous character of the country
has kept tribes apart and emphasized
their differences. Association in Mex
leo does not always mean the melting
pot, however. One finds sometimes

enormous bows and arrows. These
primitive weapons are even used by
irregular hands assisting the constitu-
tionalists.
1t must be remembered, too, that the
punitive expeditions of Porfirio Diaz
were never so extensive or effective as
the expeditions undertaken in our In
dian wars. Had the Indians stuck to-
gether Cortez might never have con-
quered them. In Spanish times the
tribes were gradually subdued. The
Maya tribes were beaten one by one.
1t is significant that as late as 1900
there was organized Indian oppOsi-
ton to Mexico. In that year the Next
can troops took the citadel of Chan
Santa Cruz at the end of a long, hard
campaign.
President Wilson's hope in resur-
recting the Mexican Indians lies in a
belief that with a restoration of their
land their lost qualities will return.
With his land gone the Indian has be-
come a peon, degraded laborer. With
land, he is represented to have been
contented cottager, fairly virtuous
and deeply religious
With a restoration of his lands, how
will it be with the Indian? That is
the great riddle of Mexico.
To get an idea of the best that may
be hoped one might turn to the pages

claimed to have points in their favor,
have been introduced in Austria The
tubes are made of an especially pre-
pared asphalt paper Of German manu-
facture, and are exceedingly light in
weight as compared with piping Of
other materials. They were originally
made for electric-cable conduits, but it
has been found that they may be used
for varied purposes, replacing iron.

A LAND OF GAMES
Bull Fighting Not Only Sport in
Spain.
"PeIota," the National Pastime Of the
Peninsula, is Played by AlI-lt ls
Full of Interest to Players
and Spectators.

Of the national sport of bull fight
ing all that is good and all that is bad
has been said before, and We will
merely remark that it is practiced not
only by the professional toreadors, but
also by amateurs at the becerradas, in
which the bulls used are young and
almost Harmless, a writer in the Lon
don Times says. But the rearing Of
fighting bulls in the ganaderias gives
rise to operations which, while lack
ing the sanguinary aspect of the cor
ridas, are full of interesting sport.
Such are the encierro, in which the
bull is led away hemmed in by
cahestros or belled oxen; the acOso
Y derribo, which consists of driving
the bull into a corner and throwing
him down in order to brand him,
feat performed either on horseback
and with the goad, as in Andalusia,
or by awaiting the onset of the beast,
Selling him by the horns and twist
ing his neck, as is done by the peas
ants of Salamanca, who for this pur-
pose wear leather cuirass round the
body; and the tienta, in which the
pugnacity of the bull is put to the
trial by means Of a mock corrida.
The Andalusians are adopts at pig
sticking and the king himself has
taken part in this exhilarating sport
on the Donana estate at the mouth
of the Guadalquivir, the best district
for game in all Europe
The true national sport of Spain is
pelota, which originated in the Basque
country, but is played in all the prin-
cipal towns of the peninsula and in
some places abroad. The game con-
sists Of hitting ball against the walls
CT frOnton, which has one or two
parallel courts and sometimes a lat
eral one, and is played between two
teams of two players each. one stand
ing in front and one behind. The ball
is hit either with the costa, a sort of
elongated and curved wickerwork
glove, or with the fiat pala (bat) or
with the hand alone. The scoring ia
by points, each fault committed by
one side-such as a dropped ball or a
ball sent out of the cou1t-counting
for the other side. The extraordinary
agility and suppleness of the players
and the sustained excitement of the
play make pelota a most interesting
game to watch, especially in the
Basque country, where it is played
in the open air, sometimes against the
walls of the village church, and by
children Of quite a tender age
In the Canary islands :. favorite
sport is wrestling of a kind very sim
liar to that practiced by the montag-
nards of Switzerland A curious game
in the Baleares is hurting with the
sling, a weapon with which the ma
tives, who are said to have invented
it, were familiar in ancient times. The
women of the Tarragona district run
races with cantaros (pitchers) bal
anced on their heads, and in La Com
era island (Canaries) the inhabitants
display wonderful skill in communf-
eating with each other by means of
whistling, which they have made a
veritable medium of speech.

of Diego Duran, the Spanish mission
airy who wrote sixty years after the
conquest:
There was never a nation in the
world where harmony, order and po-
likeness reigned so supreme as in this
heather nation. In what country of
the globe were there ever so many
laws and regulations of the state at
once so just and so well appointed?
Where have kings ever been so feared
and obeyed, their laws and orders so
we'll observed as in this land?
"In regard indeed to their laws and
ancient mode of living all is much
changed or wholly lost Nothing but
shadow remains now of that good or
der Our admiration is compelled by
the strict account and census which
they kept of all persons in town or
country, who were by this means to
be called upon for help in anything
they might be ordered to do. They
had their presidents and chiefs and
lesser authorities to look after the old
or the married, or the young about to
be married, with such system and or
der that not even the newly born es-
capped their notice.
$50 thorough was their superinten-
dence of public works, that the man
who labored one week was not al
lowed to present himself for toll the
next, everybody taking his turn with
much harmony and order to the end
that nobody might feel aggrieved."
