TTT13 SCIIANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MAY U. 1898. SPANISH ABUSES IN THE PHILIPPINES Some Testimony on Tills Point by nn lix-Consul. TUB CONDITIONS WHICH ADMIRAL DRWUY'fl GREAT VICTORY LET the daylight through and which call for an American protectorate until things Ann made nioiiT. From the Now York Sun. Spain's mlsgovernment of her rich possessions In the enst begun with tho massacres oC tho natives by their Spanish conquerors In the sixteenth century, has continued uninterrupted ly for more than three centuries since, and might lmve untie on hundreds of yearn more had nut Spanish misrule on the American Inland of Cuba brought about u war for human rights be tween this country and Spain. In the faraway Philippines of Malasln a land of volcanoes, caithquukos, and typhoons Spain could carry out her Iniquitous colonial system of govern nient, away from the eyes of the civil ized world. Only when some traveler has returned to tell of the life of the Inlanders has anything been heard of tho mediaeval government perpetuated In that wllil country for the enrich ment of the pilvnto purses of favored Spanish otllilals, and tin- replenishing of the public treasury, depleted by cor ruption at home and wars In the colo nics. Consular representatives In the Phil ippines from the rnlted States and KtiRland have been well aware of the rottenness of the Island Kovernment, but the' coubl not make public their knowledge without endangering the re lations ut their countries with spam. Even unprejudiced travelers, In their accounts of the Islands, have avoided a discussion of the political side. Now that we arc at war with Spain and our Unit Moats In the capital of the Philippines, Americans who have been In the Islands are free to speak their minds. No one Is better qualified to speak than former Consul Elliott, who was thiee years at Manila. During the last sis months of his stay the con sulate was guarded by six Spanish soldiers, and Elliott constantly curried two pistols and u cartridge belt. He cause of his Americanism he was as obnoxious Hi the Spaniards of Manllu as was General L'-o lo Huvuna's loy alists. NOTORlOCSLY COIUU'PT. "Spanish rule in the Philippines Is thoroughly corrupt," snya -Mr. Klllott. "Tho system of government nominally In operation la bad enough for the closing years of the nineteenth cen tury, but It Is made many times worse by the officials from Spain who go to the Philippines for no other purpose than to ranks a fortune. The salary of the governor general is $10,000 a year, neatly as large as the president's, but the salary is Insignificant In com parison with the amount the officials steal. Weyler, on bis Teturn from the Philippines, had to bis credit in the banks of London and Paris several million dollars, squeezed out or the poo tilii and foreign nierehnntn. General Despuyol, who succeeded him. was an honest man, and It Is l elated that he knocked down a Chinese merchant who came, to htm with a gift of bags of silver coins amounting to $10,000. lllanco, who ruled the province while I was there, was also an honest man, hut be had to carry out the laws. "Tho Philippines cover more square miles of territory than most Americans dream of. Imagine the states of New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Dela ware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, lthodc Island, Vermont, New Hamp shire and Mulnfe transported to tho China sea and cut up into 1,200 Islands, ranging In size from ns large as New York and Masasehusetts combined to little Islets not large enough for it boy to turn a handspring on. Then put all the New York state people on tho largest Island, Luzon, with a city about the size of Washington for Its capital, Manila, and spread the other six million people about on the oilier Islands. Now you have some idea of the Philippines not 'uninhabited dots on the ocean.' eh'.' Why, north anil south the Islands extend 1,200 miles, und cast and west some 700 miles, and the archipelago Is well knit together, too. MIXTURE OP HACKS. "Who live there? Now you've got me. I was there three years, but I never was Hire whether a man was Spanish, Chinese, Malay, Siamese, Ne gilto. or something else, or all com bined. 1 don't believe there can be found such a mixture of races any where in the world. Outside of the Is land of Luzon and one or two others, the population is divided between the Negritos and the Malays. The Negri tos are dwarllsh blacks, the original How often you see a man deeply engrossed in his work, full of satisfaction at what he has accomplished in business ready to go uhead and carry out bound less schemes of achieve ment, nnd luinc up all hU strength and nervous force, never pausing to thiuk what unseen danger may threaten him from behind Mighty few hard working men eve r stop to realize that 4II77V pnft.itlnn anA X feelings of weak ness and sluggish ness and incapacity that overcome them at times are the forerunners of seri ous disease. More men would succeed in carrying out their life purposes if they would put their constitutions in strong, forceful, high con dition, without waiting until disease has plunged its axe into their vital organs. If a man who is using up his working vitality faster than his nutritive powers supply it, will use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery as an adjunct to his daily meals, it will give the digestive organs power to take hold of the food and extract from it the elements which strengthen the vital organism and build up healthy blood. It revitalizes every organ and tissue of the body ; purges bilious poison out of the circulation ; invigorates the nerve cen ters and the rausculur system and makes a man altogether a man full of ambition, energy nnd pluck. Mr. Jon. Henderson Dliblun, of 544 Josephine Ptreet, New Orlrsnt. I.a . writes to I)r Pierce : " I w ailing foi some years sum-ring from dyspepsia, a tired feeling and loss of energy end eosia. a urea leenn? and lose nr pn,u nppetite.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discos cry to do all that His claimed to do." In many cases where constipation la one of the aggravating causes of disease, Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used in conjunction with the " Discovery." They ,V are.

The Malays swarmed In upon tliein from tho routh and drove them Into the hills, fo that now tht coasts aro hold by tho Malay tribes, who speak some thirty different dia lects, 'and tho Interiors are held by tho Negrito tribes, speaking some two linn drtd dialects, perhaps more, for little Is known of the wild, unexplored In terior country on tiny of the Islands, even Luzon. "Munlla Is a cosmopolitan city. Tho Spaniards, tho rulers, number less than fi.000, and there were not MO Europeans there when t left. Americans are sel dom seen. The Chinese number 60,000; ilmv 111 the small shonkeeners. Mai- ' avs aro as thick as Chinese. The great I middle class is made up of some CO.OuO Mestizos, the offspring of Malay moth ers and Chlnefe fathers in the majority of cases. Hut Spanish blood runs In the veins of many of the Mestizos. These half-castes, ruperlor In intelli gence to tho natives are in a perpetual state of unrest. They have led all the revolutions in tho Iflnnds and ate the people who are expected to aid this rountry In taking possession of the Philippines. Some of their leaders are blight men, who chafe under the Span ish yoke and long for more humnne ru le! p, or. If possible, Independence. TAXATION. "Kverybody and everything Is taxed. Spain draws an enormous revenue from the Philippines how much no one knows. The annual budget, when I was at Manila, amounted to some $15,000,000, and must June been In creased since to help entry on the war in Cuba. Hut the amount squeezed from till classes of people by the thiev ing ollleluls Is many millions more. Let : me read you some llgures fiom a re- cent budget. "The rednla personal, a 'document for identification,' must be carried by every person over IS years old. The tax varies according to age and finan cial condition from 73 cents to $25. The sum expected to be realized In this budget was $4,401,029.2.-.. The head tax on the Chinese was ?23r,,250. The to bacco tax on tho Chinese was $11,230 and on the other persons $222,300. In addition to these peisonal taxes the nutlves must pay tuxes for owning coeoanut trees and beasts of buiden; for every wheel on their wagons they must pay $4 a year; they must pay taxes for keeping shops, killing ani mals, running mills nnd oil presses, holding cock lights, owning lighting cocks and burying bodies. "Cock fighting is the great national sport, and the budget estimated the tax on the sport at $149.0311. The opium contract was to realize $183,400. From lotteries the estimated revenue was placed at $301,802. All kinds of paper must be stamped $548,400; the con victs are hired out $50,000: the mint 'manipulates' the bullion $330,350; gov ernment lands are sold-$30,000. The natives back lu the hills are taxed, but only a few thousand are reached by the collectors. The tribute from the tribes In this budget was esti mated ut $12,000. DRAGS ON HP3INKSS. "Kverybody lu business must have a license, like 0111 liquor license. I knew o one druggist who paid $1,200 a year for the privilege of doing busi ness. His store was small. The for eign Importers and exporters are forced to pay enormous taxes and lines. If they complain the ofllcluls And ex cuses foi confiscating their property and driving them from 'the Islands. Nearly all the foreign trade is In the hands of the English. French, Dutch and nermuns, the Spanlatds not hav ing the ability of the other Kuropeans. Kver since the Islands were conquered Spain has fought tho fotelgn mer chants, framing the most absurd legis lation, to divide their prolltrt with tho government. The amount expected to be realized in business licenses lu tills budget was $1,330,000. "What excuse does Spain offer for levying all these taxes'.' Take a look at the other column of this budget. Fernando J'o, whoever he may be, has has to be paid $CC,18.1S by the Philip pines, probably for some t-ervlco his eighteenth century ancestor performed for the country. This is only one third of his pension. Then there is the Duko of Veragua. The Philippines, grateful for his nncestors' discovery of America, pay $:t,0ot of his pension, and they contribute $1,000 to Ferdinand Co lumbue'ri pension. Some time in the distant past a Peruvian was an us sayer in the mint of Potosl. Spain cherishes his memory, and the Philip pines contribute $1,300 to his heir's pen sion. Here are some other largo Items: Share of the corwular service, $60,000; postal und telegrnph s-ervice, $100,347. 17; submarine cablo subsidy, $IS,O00, charity, $2C,SS7.30. COSTS OF GOVKRNMIONT. "The cost of maintaining tho army Is estimated at $3.!18,760.11. the navy "$2, 373.770.27. To the civil guard Is al loted $03S,S90.77. to the veteran guard $73.21G.SS, to the disciplinary corps $104,140.14. The treasurer-general gets $12,000 11 vear. and tin- nlllclals of the forty-seven provincial administrations $228,800. The govei.w seneral's salary Is $40,000. the lie.:. :ni general's sal ary $12,000. The admiral of the navy has $10,000, and the ottlcer In charge of Cavlte arsenal $S,000. It doesn't seem likely that he will draw his full salary this year. The civil and criminal courts 1 are a farce. The cost of maintaining 1 them Is here cstlmuted at $332,860; for 1 the penitentiaries and convict settle ments $82,072.71 Is set aside. "The I'nlted States, I believe, should hold the Philippines. The Mestizos and the Europeans would welcome Amerl- I ! can control, and of course, the Malays, 1 Chinese, and Negritos would be glnd I of any chance of escaping from their Spanish oppressors. We should, 1 be lieve, set up a provisional government In the Islands, giving tho control to the half-castes, among whom are many capable men. Over them should be placed a few strong American organ izers und executive olllcers. First, the government must be divorced from the church. The rule of the religious or ders has been as fertile a cause of the regular Insurrections as tho Iniquit ous system of government and exces sive taxation. Japan and England have long de hlred these ilch Islands. To either of these friendly countries. If we desired, wo might sell the Islands, reserving coaling stations for the navy, und rights for American trade, open the ports of tho Philippines to unrestricted foreign trade; establish a modern sys tem of government; encourage Indus tries, manufactures and agriculture; develop the great natural resources of the Islands; Improve tho condition of the nutlves and within ten years tho Philippines will tnke their pluco umong the richest Islands of the world."
