'V..0... - ' (Special Letter.) he IXTEEN different tribes of fle very remarkable savages, A without counting the pigmy on negritos. dwell in the interior ha: of Mindanao, numbering prob- pht ably not less than 300.000 in all, and del government ethnologists have already begun to make a study of them. In- Ur asmuch as nothing worth mentioning el( has been known about them hitherto, Ba there is plenty to learn, but a good cu many facts have been collected, and a ati "race map" of the great island has be been drawn, to accompany a report on the subject which will be submitted to Congress next December. One of the most notable of . the tribes is that of the Bagobos, who dwell, according to their own belief, at the gates of hell. They offer hu man sacrifices to the devil, who lives with his wives on the top of an active volcano in their neighborhood. The monster's name is Mandarangan,- and it is necessary to appease 'him with regular supplies of blood, which is his only drink. Inasmuch as each Bagobo has two souls, one of which goes to heaven and the other to the infernal regions. he feels particularly anxious to placate the areh4end. The origin of these tribes is uncer tain. Presumably they came origin ally from the mainland of Asia, al though some authorities are of the opinion that they voyaged all the way from Madagascar, and they certainly arrived later than the negritos. They settled in Mindanao, however, long tl before the Mores, who in recent times have preyed upon them, carrying off a their women and enslaving the men. They are tall, well developed, intelli- d gent, and rather light of skin, with g aquiline noses. Some of them are fierce and warlike. The most numerous of these tribes h are the Subanos. which number about 70,000; the Tagadauas. which are esti- a mated at 30,000; the Mandayas, who I are reckoned at 3(,000: the Monteses, who are put down at 25,0100; the Man obos, who are 20.000 strongi the Atas, who comprise 21.000 souls, and the Bagobos, who nnmber 12.tl000. Thise are only guesses. however. The Tiru- t rays tin the lnign ll)olnlt)td of Cotta bato) are al)lproaching extlnction by I starvation, and tw\\o or three of t.o other tribes have been eitllr elnslaved l by the stronger peoples or else wiped out almost e(ntirely in war. The lHagobos are very strong and i fierce. and one iof their peculiarities Is that the girls are as pow-rful,. muscu larly, as the boys of this tribe, and - I A Moro Warrior. it is hard to tell the sexes apart. They keep slaves chiefly for the pur pose of sacrificing them to the devil. Equally ferocious are the Mandayas, whc offer human sacrifices with ex traordinary cruelty, cannibalism be ing sometimes incidental. They be lieve in two good divinities, a father ad and son, and two evil ones, a husband and wife. Earthquakes they suppose to to be caused by the restless move :ol, meats of an immense crocodile in the syl. center of the earth. They bury their dead in holes in the faces of cliffs. to The Manobos are ferocious and treacherous. They build their houses 'W in tree tofs near the rivers, so as a to be safe from their enemies. It is the same way with the Baganis, though sometimes the latter place --etrL dwelling on inaccessible crags. :Among the Baganis, the costume ~iep witb h the number of:murders a 4 ~ i zinonittea4,"Whefla man bas S omn MA to hen murders, he indicates the fact by wearing I flesh-colored handkerchief on his head A scarlet handkerchief and shirt dec orate the person of the warrior who has murdered from ten to twenty peo pie, while for more than twenty mur ders scarlet pantaloons may be added.
