SEVERAL CENTURIES OF WARFARE the Difference Between British and Span? ish Ru ie Sr ri'?i nely Illustrated by the Case of the Saltan of Soulou-Head Hunters of Mindanao and Luzon. V. The average Spanish official has a horror of statistics. He excels in sub? traction and division, but in addition he is unworthy of trust. The census of Spain is an eyesore to all students of statecraft, but it rises into splendor when compared with that of the Philip? pines. In China they count the houses and multiply them by four. In the Philippines the enumerators are said to make estimates and throw dice as to which set of numbers shall be taken. ?The least objectionable census of the ? NATIVE BUNGALOW. colony was that of 1875, and that 6tates officially that the figures do not include the savages, the untaxed natives? the mountaineers, the fishermen and the Sou lons. The population given by that census was 6,190, OOO. The estimates of the five exceptions mentioned was 440,000, so that the total in 1S75 was 6,630,000. This must be regarded as below the truth, as it allows practically nothing for the rich and beautiful island of Mindanao, in the southeast of the archipelago. This noble territory and the adjacent islands are well populated, the inhabitants being at least four times 'S many as the official estimates. The rate of increase is no less than 2 per cent per annum in the districts which are under Spanish rule, a trifle less than what it is in the independent communities. At this rate the popula? tion today is 10,300,000 at the lowest estimate. The highest estimate is 15, 000,000, made by the Hongkong Tele? graph, one of the leading journals of the far east. The German geographers put it at 11,000,000 and 12,000,000. No attempt worthy of the name has been made to consolidate the Philippine peoples into a uniform whole. The Spaniards have, on the contrary, en? deavored to encourage the clan and tribe spirit in order to prevent any local in? surrectionary movement becoming gen? eral. The native languages are pre? served and only a minority speak Span? ish. The Tagals look down on the low half castes, the Visayas despise the Tagals, and the Soulous detest them alL This policy had many advantages. It converted the natives into isolated or disconnected tribes and enabled the ad? ministration to employ troops of one tribe against malcontents of another. Only in the latest rebellion has there been widespread and concerted action on the part of the native population. The people of the Philippines are such a mosaic of yellow, brown and black men as to disconcert the ablest ethnographer. The natives all agree that tho original dwellers on the is? lands were the tribes known as Negri? tos. They were and their descendants are very dark in color, some of the clans being nearly as dark as Kongo negroes, while others are a rich red brown, like some of the negro-Indian half breeds of the United States. They are distributed over all the island? '?f the group. Many of them are civilize , others live in a state midway between civilization and savagery, while a third and large class are as savage today as when Magellan discovered the archi? pelago in 1521. The Tinguianes are a branch of the Negritos who live in tree huts. These are situated in tall trees and are often 60 and 75 feet from the ground. They are built of bamboo and other light, strong timber, thatched with palm and similar leaves and securely lashed to the trunk and boughs with wirelike vines and native rope. They look frail and unsteady, but are remarkably strong and durable. On a platform or in his living room the occupant keeps a stock of stones, which are used to drop on the heads of enemies. Small children are protected from the danger of falling off by a stout cord tied firmly around the body just under the arms and fastened to some pole or rafter of the building. The word Negrito is a lazy Spanish term which seems to ^mean much, but doas not. It is used to cover all the darker skinned natives, regardless of race or language. It includes the black Igorrote, who looks like a negro, or Papuan ; the Tinguianes, who resemble the dark men of Borneo ; the fierce Ma? lay Moslems of Soulou, a black people in Morong who look like Tamils, or low | caste Hindoos, and the head hunting j Gaddanes, who seem to be related to j the Dyaks. At least four races are in? cluded under the term Negrito, whose only common point is a very dark skin. More numerous than the Negritos and of later arrival in the Philippines are the Tagals of the north and the Visayas in the center of the group. They are rather tine looking men of a red color , intermediate between a Sandwich Is? lander and a Sioux. These Tagals form the bulk of Aguinaldo's army. -To these two divisions may be added the Mos- i lems of Soulou. These are the original races of the Philippines. They have no history before 'MO A. D. The onlymea tiou cf them is found in the Chinese records, yet modern science has began to throw some light upon the buried g years. The picture thus revealed is a tragic story of invasion, war and con i A quest, larger and longer than that of thc British isles. The earliest inhabitants were a low negroid race similar to the Andaman is? landers, who once occupied a large part of southeastern Asia and were exter? minated cr eise driven from the main? land to the outlying islands. They found there but little peace, however, as they were invaded in turn by a dark brown race, of whom the Igorrotes are the best surviving representatives. These were followed by other dark brown men, of whom the descendants are the Gad danes, Guinaanes, Itaves, Tinguianes and the Morong negroes. These were followed several centuries later by the ancestors of the Tagals and Yisayas. There was another pause, and then about 800 years later came a new in? vasion froia Borneo by the progenitors of the Soul ons. The process is going on today. The sultan of Soulou exercises a peaceful suzerainty over a part of Borneo, from which he draws warriors and sea fighters to strengthen his rule in Mindanao. The case of this potentate illustrates the difference between Spanish and An? glo-Saxon dominion. His territories in Borneo and the Borneo islands are un? der the British flag, those in Soulou and Mindanao are under the Spanish. Ho is a brave Malay, a good ruler and a devout Moslem. The British recog? nize him, pay him an annuity of $25, 000 and leave his religion alone. In re? turn they own and utilize his lands and have no trouble with him or his sub? jects. The Spaniards, on the contrary, denounce him as a rebel, steal or de? stroy his property and persecute him and his followers as heretics. In return they gain nothing but merciless war. The English have lost no lives. The Spaniards have iost thousands. Besides the black and brown races, lhere are many Chinese in the Philip r!jies. There were Chinese in Luzon before Magellan came. There will be Chinese there when Spain is but a memory. There are said to be 150,000 in the group, of whom 100,000 are in Luzon. These are the Chinese of full blood, half castes are far more numer? ous. , The Malay girls are pretty and use? ful about a house. Although Spain makes polygamy a crime, Spanish poli? ticians use it as a source of revenue. Two-thirds of the male adult Chinese in the Philippines have one or more Malay wives in addition to one at home in China. The result is remarkable. In 1845 there were over 175,000 Chinese half breeds in Luzon. Today the num? ber is said to be 500,000, of whom 50, 000 live in the province of Manila. These half breeds inherit the quickness and excitability of the Malay with the industry and brain power of the Chi? nese. They supply at least a third of the tradesmen, merchants and planters of the islands. They have furnished the rebellion with many leaders and several thousand soldiers. Taken altogether, they form the best part of the present population- Under Chinese law these ?hilcren are legitimate, and Spanish colonial society treats them accordingly. The Spanish Malay half breeds num? ber about 100,000. They are inferior to their Chinese cousins, inheriting the indolence of both Spaniard and Malay. Now and then exceptions to the rule are found in such instances as Dr. Rizal and the Aguinaldos. Ko distinction is drawn among half breeds as to the na? tive race from which they draw their blood. Those with Spanish fathers take Spanish names and those of Chinese paternity adopt either Chinese or Span? ish patronymics. The half breeds inter? marry, so that tho mixing of different bloods goes on continuously. In the same church will be found men of every complexion-black, dark brown, brown, SOME IGORROTE TYPES. red brown, yellow, olive, brunette and white. It is the same in the volunteer companies, the streets and halls of ex? change. The natives at the time of Magellan were savages in the interior and partly civilized on the coast owing to Chi? nese traders and colonists. Mere than half were Moslems. Tho rest were cos molaters, spirit worshipers, devil wor? shipers and pagans. The inquisition and the military power suppressed Is? lam in the larger part of Luzon and on many of the smaller islands, but only made the unconquered more ferocious toward the followers of the cross. Even today there are districts where no priest or official dare go without a heavy guard. Another product of fierce persecution is found in hypocrisy and secret rites. Many natives who profess Christianity are really Mohammedans, and some still worship graven images. Buddhism in its Chinese form has made some progress, but on account of tht; difficulty in respect to language aud the stern laws i>f the colony it is impossible to determine the extent. Head hunting, an ancient Malay cus? tom, is still practiced in Luzon and Min? danao, the two largest islands of the group. The custom seems a survival of some ancient religious ceremony and is governed by a code of legeudary laws. Cannibalism is also said to be practiced oy a few tribes in Mindanao. WIIJ.IAM E. S.
