. 11 ,i|i imi 1 11 dr. •■ ■ i . nrraiprijiw Camp Stotsehburg, Pampage, P. 1., March 25, 1910. Deaf Folks:—l will -endeavor to write you a little of my opinion 6t the Philippine Istands. I think tbe people fiave improved wonderfully, even isl the short time they have Bete under the American rule. They are hot aS'enlightened as they might bb. The Sphfiisb 'IM not care about thto welfare-or advancement of the people. Consequently they did not filve much attention, to their education, fearing if the peopld we're enlightefied' they would Revolt against the iajittrtlce of the Spanish rule. " The-schools are now organized <ta the same plan as our public schools In the states, and tbe English Ififi-' guage is taught to all. I think one mistake of the 1 courts over here has been the allowing of the use of the Spanish in their proceedings. A few years , ago they passed a law to do away with the Spanish officially after tWo years. When that time had ex* pired they extended the time two years and have now extended it By permitting the use of Spanish they have retrograded the use of the English, as the-Ambrlcans who had come .over here to practice law had to use interpreters, add' had to learn the language to be xm an equal footing with the native lawyer. The nfitiyfl,; having no use for the guage, as he did not have to uwW did not learn it? Now the Spanite seems to have stronger footing in the fcdiirts than ever- The English language should' be made official Tfiep, the natives would have to use thfi>»P terpreters and it' Would only be’ a short time until everyone Would speak English. \ There are so many restrictions foreigners and foreign capital that it suppresses the growth of commerce to a great extent Manila, the largest city in the Philippines, has a population of about 100,000. It Is situated bn the south end of the west coa&t and has an excellent harbor and shipping facilities. ’’lt is becoming Americanized fiiuch faster than the other places, as there are more Americans there than in any other locality. Fort McKinley is near and there are about three thousand soldiers stationed there and in the city proper. As the soldier stays in the islands only two years there are quite a number who can’t speak Spanish to any extant, and the merchants learn to speak English to hold their trade. “The Old City hae e jery ancient appearance. It.is surrounded by a wall and meat However, tiie wall and moat has been torn down in several places to build streets to the newer portion of the city. Here there are stores similar to our own and one can purchase almost anything he can te the states by paying about half as mute xgain. Silk, linen and many kinds of wooden wares are much 'cheaper than in the states as there is no duty, on’sHk and hemp; and the woods of different kinds. Including ebony, rosewood ad mahogany, , are ■found in large- quantities oh many of the islands. “Tie historic old “Bridge' of Spain” sis one ot the many interesting, things Os the city.' -It connects the businees.,portion, with the resident por- . rtijOn and the "famous Lueneta, also the administration building of, to® Philippine government; fa ton that side of the PtaEg river.

The fruit is of a* very inferior grade in comparison ißith Other places. Coewnuta, bananas and mangoes are about ail of the variety here. The principal products are rite and sugar cane. They use the caribou and the native cattle for all heavy draft purposes an dthe pony for driving. A low range of mountains lies to I our west and north and a valley to the east and south. Mt Aratat is about twenty-six miles east of here. It is six thousand feet high and has an extinct chater in its summit All the mountains growths of bamboo and tropical foliage on their sides. Numerous small streams bisect the surrounding country. They are very treacherous, especially during the wet season, when the land is very boggy on the banks and level

Often a family of ten or twelve 75 live in a small shack of one.‘or twe small rooms and they keep their cat-, fie tad hogs either under Or near the house and the unsanitary conditions are very favorable for malarial fevers, , and cholera. The native thinks of the present only and does not make any provision for the future. He is very lazy tad usually tries to do the least Amount of work he can possibly get along with. However, he will gamble anything- he possess on a cock fight ,4>r a monte game, monte being a card Kame. ?T *■ • The people of the United States Seem to have the impression that TThe Little, Brown Brother” is a very fiiuch abused personality. However, If they "were to come in contact with fifth they would Change their opinion in a very short time. A The native id very quick to learn 4n monetary matters. When the American soldier first came over he could purchase most anything . very cheap. However, he seemed to feel Sorry or the native and in most ’ .bases when they bought something tor a few ciackers (a clacker is worth half a penny), would give the nattive twenty-five cents and tell him to keep the change. The next soldier was asked twenty-five-cents for the same article. So that goes to. show it is more the fault of the soldier than the native, i think the American negro much superior to the native of the Philippine Islands. Chinese and Japanese are scattered over portions of the islands. The Chinese intermarry with some of the natives, but the Jap does not, and is the same over here as in the states. Biolo is the most productive in an agricultural way for its size in the entire group.- Panay, the second city to Manila, is an important shipping point. Samar .is the least civilized island, although Calbayog is a thriv- ?> ing city of 14/)00. Laws as, they are at present phohibit the shipment of woods and minerals cut and mined by any one but the natives and as Americans can ' not own the timber tracts and mines they are nfit worked, as the natives, are not energetic enough to do anything. There is some coal, but it is hot a good grade and it is being developed by the government for the use of the navy. Gold is found in some places, but has not been worked to any extent as yet ;- I might go bn writing of generafifles. However, I will not, as I expect this letter is not of mute interest ; When I become better Versed in the peculiarities of the people and more acquainted with the conditions win make another effort and try to make. It more interesting to you. You see ta->the short time that I have been here I have only had a glimpse of the re** conditions, of the people and - ■ country. With love, to all.
