u MANILA O Will the Americans 1 iZ. X. IF., til ACM? MANILA, P. 1., Feb. 1. I have seen more or less said in the home newspapers about Americanizing the Filipinos, by persons who seem to think that that process consists of put ting pantaloons on people who already wear pantaloons, and sending mission aries to convert people already con verted so completely that they get up before daylight to go to church. Until our people have a better understanding of this country and its inhabitants they cannot expect to be very success ful in their efforts to change matters for the better or to make salutary laws for their government. The talk about Americanizing the islands is heard here as well, but it means somewhat more than when used by the good peo ple at home, for we recognize more fully the difficulty of its accomplish ment. ?p to the present time the Fili pinos have as much Filipinized the for eigners a3 they have foreignized the natives, so to speak. Their customs and habits, both social and commer cial, are fixed. They soon have their influences upon newcomers, and they have affected in some degree the Eng lish and German business men of Manila. The watchword o? the people of all nations assembled here is "manana," "to-morrow." This Spanish word seems to cast its paralyzing spell upon all countries where Spanish influences prevail. Whether the ancient Filipi nos eyer had a better appreciation of the vahe of time or a higher sense of i ' devotion to duty than they have now is doubtful. At all events they have for years learned the lesion of delay and insincerity from their Spanish masters, until it is in the bone, blood and flesh as deeply ingrained as though their savage ancestors had transmitted it to them as a racial inheritance. Strange to say-that ie, strange in the eyes of Americans-its blighting spell has fallen npon tie Europeans who do business here, until they also are as . indifferent to the pressing needs of the hour as the natives. This suggests . . the thought that it may be possible that Americans coming heve may be Filipinized, as have been the Germans and the English, instead, of working the great revolution so cheerfully pre dicted. Certainly they will have the forces of numbers, custom and climate to contend with, and these ure no mean antagonists. Let us take, for example, one cus ir- tom,' that of the afternoon siesta. Even business bows to this. One can go through the chief business streets between 12 and 2 o'clock and easily imagine himself strolling on a Sunday in an American town, with a well enforced Sunday-closing law. Even the quilez drivers have gone home to sleep. When the hour of noon comes the merchants politely follow their customers to the door and lock the portals, and open them not again until 2, or, perhaps, 3 o'clock. Even the English banks are not open for busi ness of importance between those hours, and if one enters the institu tion on business intent, one of the In dians snoozing on a bench will arouse himself sufficiently to say that the clerks have all gone to eat and sleep. This he does by poking his fingers at his mouth to. indicate the taking of food in genuine Eilipino style, and by laying his head over to one side on the palm of his hand and closing his eyes, to signify sleep. A little exclamation of disgust may bring a compassionate smile and "a las dos, senor," which means that he is sorry for you, but you must wait until 2 o'clock. A few days ago I entered a photo graph gallery, presided over by an old German and his two full-grown sons. I was going to say "operated by." but "presided over" fits the case better? for all three of them entertained me at the same time, and no work of an; kind was done during the half-hour 1 was there. I made a selection of 2C views from the sample-book, and was informed that they might possibly have them printed for me in twe months. I insisted upon one week, but they shook their heads and said. "No; it is not possible; we have sc much work, so much trouble." Then it being 12 o'clock, one of them fol lowed me down stairs, locked the dooi after me, and all lay down to sleep of the afternoon. Of course, one knows that in the tropics one must keep out of the sun during the middle of the day in summer, but it scarcely seems necessary to suspend all business dur ing the comparatively cool winter sea son, unless it be the necessity of habit, Right here conies in the question Will the Americans change the habit or will the habit capture the Aineri cans? I am inclined to subscribe tc the latter alternative, in spite of thc talk I hear on all sides about "getting a good American hustle cn the town.' The Filipinos do not hustle and can not be made to do so, except for ? spasmodic spurt of a few minutes un der thc stimulus of vigorous mule driving English. It may bc that tin English and Germans here once prod ded them into fitful ?nells of en erg j F TO DAY. Hiere be Filipinized ? York Evening Post. by a similar use of the mother tODgues but if they did, the natives have re lapsed into the apathy that follows un profitable exertion, and have adopted the easier plan of substituting num bers for activity. Every store, office and house has from two to three times as many helpers and servants about as would be seen in a similar place in America, and nearly all of them seem to be resting from the little labor that has been done. Even American en ergy will wear itself away in time against the solid rock of Filipino in ertia. Sleep seems to be one thing to be desired and altogether lovely to the Filipino. The cochero, as soon as his "cargo" leaves the carriage for a few minutes, goes to sleep on his box, or snoozes upon the seat inside, with his chocolate-colored feet hanging out of the window, recking not of the busy world until a vigorous prod in the ribs restores him to life. It is the same with all help about the office or house. Such a thing as the delivery of goods from retail stores is unknown, and even wrapping them up to be carried by the purchaser is not considered a necessity. If one goes into a tobac conist's for a box of cigars, it is hand ed to him over the counter unwrapped. If he. by pantomine or the use of his ''Spanish at a glance," succeeds in conveying the intelligence that he de sires his purchase wrapped up, a search is instituted for a piece of newspaper, and if this be found, the box is enveloped in it and handed to him with a courtly bow but without string. A few bakery-wagons may be seen going from house to house, and ic&-carts and soda-water carts; but be yond these, regular delivery vehicles are unknown. Nor is the early morning made mel odious by the clatter of milk wagons. Genuine cows' milk is a sc irce article \ here. The water buffalo supplies most of the. milk used, a snow-white liquid containing little cream and having a flavor none too pleasant to the Ameri can palate. There are a few Austra lian cattle kept in the suburbs of Ma nila, apparently of Durham and Devon extraction, but their milk is liquid gold in comparison with the other. I have seen many small deer-like Anda lusian cattle, much resembling Jer seys, but they give only a thimbleful of milk, and a number of the white, humped, ^sacred cows of India" we used to stare at in the menageries, but the latter are of little value either for milk or beef. Instead of milk wagons, bare-legged milkmen trot about with long-necked jars or bambooed cylin ders hanging from either end of the pole carried on the shoulder. All but ter is imported in tins and is a luxury for the rich only. With a luxuriant growth of grass the entire year, this ought to be a paradise for cattle, and perhaps Americans will develop its possibilities in this respect. The substitute for the butcher cart and the grocer's wagon is the basket of woven bamboo carried from the market on the head of the customer, almost invariably a woman, a term in cluding girls of ten years and tooth less crones. Everything to eat is sold at the ''Mercado," of which there are half a dozen in the city. But let not the reader think of a Fulton market, where crisp vegetables, fresh meat, or clean fish tempt the eye. Let him rather picture to his mind a large building, an open court, or a group of bamboo stalls, dirty, vile-smelling, and unpleasant to the eys, where crowds of women, sprinkled with the male servants of white residents, make their daily purchases and haggle as long over a ten cent bargain as a white man would over a railroad contract. There are stalls that contain nothing but rice, much inferior to that seen in American markets. Another has a few bananas, squashes, radishes, pota toes, including a poor quality of sweet potato, beans, peppers, tomatoes of small size, etc. Another has a little joint of meat, generally pork, and an other several kinds of fish, including a miniature specimen, of which a dozen could be picked up on a spoon, and which are eaten raw as a great deli cacy by the natives. One stall has small clams, another the little native oysters, and another shrimp or prawns. Still another is devoted to chickens, the great edible staple of the Filipinos next to rice, and more often seen on the table than beef. Eggs, both of chickens and ducks, arc thc sole stock of other ven ders, while cakes of brown native su gar and a kind of chocolate paste occupy thc baskets of another. In the summer season green corn, both roasted or boiled and fresh, finds a place in the market. It is not bad corn, but is brought to the market hard. It requires a great deal of urgent talk to make thc Filipino mar ket woman understand that the Amer ican purchaser prefers the corn in the milk, but when this has been accom plished it is possible to contract for a special picking to cater to this taste Thc market For edibles is surrounded by stalls, where cigars, cigarettes, dry goods, trinkets, etc.. are sold, the whole making a collection of -from several score to several huudred sepa rate centres of trade, besides thc many venders who squat upon thc ground with a basket or two of wares before them. Whatever the shopper buys is laid in bulk in her shallow basket, and when she is satisfied she walks calmly away with the basket on her head, its contents exposed to the gaze of i-he public and accumulating dust. Transportation of passengers and goods through the city streets would be another task for the Americanizer. In the first place the streets average between 30 and 40 feet wide. A few of the most important, such as the Bs cotta and Calle Rosario, are paved with Belgian blocks, but the great ma jority are of macadam and of very good quality. A great deal of time and money seems to have been expend ed upon them: time certainly, for I know of a small patch of stone blocks, in front of the Hotel Oriente, that has been receiving the attention of a gang of workmen between naj?s for about two months. The work of the street gangs is thorough, but painful to wit ness from a utilitarian point of view. A small patch having been properly coated with the rock and gravel, a dozen Filipinos line up in two ranks on opposite sides of six tamping blocks with long handles, two grasping each handle. One of them starts a march song, and the blocks are raised about six inches and allowed to fall at each beat in the measure, the bodies of the men swaying in rhythm with the music, their feet being moved tq the right or left, forward or back, like the step in a schottische. This is done for about five minutes, and then all squat down to rest and smoke ciga rettes for ten minutes, and in this way the whole dozen accomplish about the work of two -good Irishmen of an American paving gang. Iron rollers seem not yet to have been heard of in Manila. The keeping of the streets in good condition by wetting them ic also an artistic performance. A street sprink ler consists of three men, 20 feet of hose without a nozzle, and a water plug key. One man turns on the wa ter, another operates the hose, using his fingers for a sprayer, and the third squats on his haunches and bosses the job. In this way half-a-dozen blocks may be sprinkled in the course of a day. A Disgrace to the Mag. JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, March 15. William Willard Howard, general man ager of the Cuban industrial relief fund, of New York, passed through Jacksonville this evening on his way home from Cuba. He goes North to purchase agricultural implements and seeds for the use of the industrial relief station which he has just established at Gui?es, Cuba. Mr. Howard said: "The condition of Cuba, so far as my observations have gone, is really worse than it was at this time last year, when I made my first investigations. In the rural districts little has been done to restore the island to its normal condition. Thc lields are vacant and the farmers idle. The people still re main in thc towns and cities, where army rations arc issued to them. They cannot return to their abandoned farms because they have nothing to return wi til. "Our Government has done, and is doing, nothing to enable farmers to re sume the cultivation of their lands. All that it pretends to do is to distribute rations through local committees of Cubans. Governor Geueral Hrookeand tiie officers under him realize keenly the condition of things, but they can not give any assistance except food. Oiirs is not a paternal government. "The condition of the widows and orphans of Cuba are heartrending. There are thousands upon thousands of these poor creatures scattered over the island. They have neither homes to live in, food to eat, nor clothes to cover them. Ouc cannot think of their future without a shudder. I am espe cially concerned for the poor little or phan girls, who roam the streets, scan tily clad, asking for a bit of food with which to keep their little bodies ami souls together. What will become of these girls ? Their future, for good or for evil, lies with the people of thc United States. "Among these widows and orphans I have ns lately as last week seen indi vidual cases of destitution andphysical emaciation worse than anything that-] saw in Armenia during thc two years that 1 gave to Armenian relief work. And to have these wrecks of humanity stand and look up to thc Stars and Stripes waving over their City Hall gives one a queer sensation. The gen erous American people surely cannot understand thc condition of Cuba, or these poor creatures would be taken care ot. "Ido not speak of thc. sick, thc in firm, or of those who hobble about, covered with loathsome sores, resulting from starvation. I cannot speak of thom, for the English language is inad equate to the tusk. They should have been cared for in hospitals long months ago. Why it has not been done I can not understand. "Thc condition of (.'nba isa reproach to thc American people and a blot upon civilization. We are going todo some thing to improve that condition and we invite all lovers of humanity in the Knited States to help us for the good name of the American Hag. Cur Hag should mean something to those home less, helpless orphans and destitute country people.

Thc fuming Kennion. The following has been issued from the general headquarters of the United Confederate Veterans : New Orleans, March ll, ISOU. 1. l t has been suggested to the gen eral commanding, and he heartily en dorses the request, that all department, division, brigade and camp command ers will take steps to collect as many of thc old "battle Hags71 and Hags of the Confederacy, and banners and en signs of every description, which waved over thc Confederate armies as possible tobe displayed at the Charleston re union. There are a great many, no doubt, through the South in private hands, at the headquarters of the di li?rent camps, and at the State capitals, etc., and it would be in keeping with the grandeur of the occasion, upon his visit of thc old soldiers to the chief city of thc great State winch gave birth to the Confederacy, and where thc first gun of the war was fired, to take with them the historic flag which waved over them there at Fort Moultrie, Sumter and the other three, with all the other banners and ensigns which floated over them amidst the smoke and carnage of more than 2,000 battlefields before they were furled forever at Appomat tox. The general commanding hopes that an effort will be made, through publi cation in the papers and otherwise, so as to secure the largest number possible for this purpose. Doubtless many flags will be taken care of by the delegates and others to whom they are entrusted, but where it is necessary that they should be sentby express they can be sent to the special care of Maj. Gen. C. Irvine Walker, commanding the South Carolina divis ion U. C. V.'s, Charleston, S. C., who will arrange a safe depository for them while there. 2. Col. Robt. P. Evans, chairman committee on information, Charleston, S. C., states that on and after the loth his committee will be in a position to give information as to housing quarters, rates of board, etc., to delegates de siring to attend the reunion. He states that his committee will undertake to engage quarters for and locate any of the Veterans in advance of their com ing, but must have a positive guarantee of their coming by April the 15th, By order of J. B. GOKDOX, Gen. Com'g. Falling Off in the Tax on Fertilizers* The receipts from the inspection and analysis of fertilizers have fallen off this year. The receipts to date have been but $34,000, against $150,102.75 last year, and $44,583.75 the year be fore. In 1898 for the entire year the re ceipts ran tip to over $GO,000, and it may be that there will this year be a pro portionate gain until the much-desired minimum of 840,000 is obtained. All of this tax has heretofore been given to Clemson College. That Insti tution this year asked foran appro priation of $40,000 from the State, or rather stated that that sum would be all that would be needed to operate the institution. The privilege or inspection or lag tax caused* the legislature more trouble than any other except the dispensary ; for the proceeds of this tax are devoted to a special institution, and it has been decided by the United States supreme court that such a tax for the mainten ance of a special institution is not con stitutional. Several attempts were made to reduce the tax from 25 cents a ton, but the final outcome was that the law was amended so that on its face it complied with the constitution and still permitted the funds after passing through the State treasury to be de voted to Clemson College avowedly for thc purpose of remunerating that, in stitution' for the expense attached to the inspection of fertilizers, all inspec tions being made at Clemson. That bill has not become a law, as it has never been signed by Governor Kl - .lerbe. The falling off in thc receipts from the inspection of fertilizers then is due to the fact that fertilizers are not find ing, and may not find, such a heavy sale this year, or that the planting sea son is long in coming and uncertain in its outlook, and farmers are afraid to contract for fertilizers under such-con ditions.-YVic State. - "Why Johnnie, you've got a big lump on your head !
