FACTS ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.
The seizure of the Philippine islands
and the apparent determination of the
United States government to hold
them as a permanent possession natur
ally make important facts concerning
their history, extent, resources, trade
and climatic conditions of special inter
est in this country. From the best
sources of information at our command
we have compiled the following for the
information of our readers.
The island;: lie just east of the China
sea, midway between the equator and
the tropic of cancer. They were dis
covered by Magellan in March, 1521,
and named by him the St. Largarus
islands. On the 27th of April following
he lost his life on one of the small isl
ands of the archipelago, called Mactau.
The great navigator was a Portugese,
but he was then in the Spanish service.
Though claiming the islands by right
of Magellan's discovery, Spain did not
take possession until 1564, about which
time they were named the Philippines
In honor of King Philip 11. They re
mained in undisputed possession of
Spain until 1762, when they were seized
by a British force under Gen. Draper
and Admiral Cornish as a partial pun
ishment to Spain for aiding France in
the seven years war. Havana vas cap
tured in the same year. Then, as now,
Manila and the neighboring fortress
and arsenal of Cavite were the strong
holds of the islands, and on or within
the fortifications of the two places were
625 cannon. In 1764 England reliu
guished possession of the islands to
Spain upon receiving a ransom of one
million pounds sterling, and on March
31 Manila was evacuated by the British
garrison. From that time until May
1, 1898, when the United States
squadron, under Commodore Dewey,
destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila
and Cavite, the Spanish remained in
possession of the islands, undisturbed
except by occasional ineffective native
insurrections.
The Islands have never been thor
oughly explored or surveyed and even
their exact number is unknown. It is
believed to exceed 1,400 and this com
bined area is estimated at over 114,000
square miles. Luzon, the largest island,
is 340 miles long and has an area of
almost 41,000 square miles, making it
nearly as large as Cuba and consider
ably more than half as large as the
state of Washington. Mindanao, the
second largest, has an area of over 37,
--000 square miles, and there are a num
ber of others of considerable size. Hun
dreds of the small islands are little
more than barren rocks of volcanic
origin.
The large islands are very rich in
natural resources, both agricultural and
mineral. The chief products are hemp,
tobacco, sugar, coffee, indigo and copra.
In 1890 the export trade amounted to
about $37,000,000 and imports to about
$11,000,000. Most of the larger sugar
plantations, some of them exceeding
1,000 acres in extent, are monastic prop
erty and are leased to Chinese half
breeds. There are large deposits of iron
ore of excellent quality and consider
able deposits of copper. Gold has been
found on many of the islands, but not
as a rule in paying quantities. Coal Is
abundant.
The climate of all the islands is tropi
cal, that of Luzon being the most en
durable for Europeans or Americans.
At Manila three seasons are recognized
—a hot, a cold and a wet. The hot sea
son extends from March to June inclu
sive, during which time the average
temperature is a little over 87 degrees.
The "cold" season, which would be
considered hot here, extends from No
vember to February or March, and the
average temperature is reported at over
72 degress. The months from July to
October inclusive are known as the wet
season, during which the mean temper
ature is nearly 85 degrees aud the aver
age rain fall over 66 inches, or double
the average annual rain fall of this
county.
The population is a heterogeneous
mixture of nations, or Negritos (not
now numerous), Malays, Chinese, half
castes, or Mestizos, and probably not
more than 10,000 Europeans, which is
a pretty small percentage in a total
population variously estimated at from
five and a half to ten millions.
There is certainly room for honest
difference of opinion as to the wisdom
of such a radical departure from the
traditional policy of tho nation in re.
epect to territorial expansion beyond
its natural borders as would be involved
by the retention of the Philippines and
their occupation as a permanent pos
session of the United States. But it is
not easy to see how any loyal citizen j
can deprecate the fact or the manner of
their seizure, nr how any one who justi-!
fies our intervention to Spain's barbar-!
ous rule in Cuba could look with equa
nimity upon the restoration of the
Philippines to Spain and the perpetua
tion there of the tyrannous misrule
Which has characterized Spauish gov-
r '■' ■ ■ ■■- ■".■ ■ ■ -;>t>v" ■
eminent in Cuba. Circumstances un
foreseen and conditions which our gov
ernment did not create led to the
seizure of the Philippines, and how
ever desirable it might be to dispose of
them to some friendly, progressive*
and humane power, such a solution of
the problem does not now seem prob
able, because of the relations existing
among the European nations with re
spect to territorial extension and com
mercial expansion in the Orient. We
may have to hold the Philippines
whether we want them or not.
There are In the United States 83
military posts, garrisoued by the reg
ular army, besides 18 depots and arsen
als, distributed among eight general
departments, knowu respectively as
the departments of the East, of Mis
souri, of the Platte, of Dakota, of Colo
rado, of the Columbia, of California,
and of Texas. Cavalry companies are
stationed at 32 posts, of which only
three are east of the Mississippi river.
Previous to the recent large in3rease in
the standing army by the authority of
congress there were altogether in the
permanent staffs of the army only
about 540 officers, 115 of them being in
the engineer corps. Chaplains, of whom
there were only 20 until recently, have
the rank of captain, and the head of
each staff department has the rank of
brigadier general. Under the new
army bill, 11 major generals and 25
brigadier generals were" appointed by
the president May 4.
There is a report current that Spain
has offered to cede Tangies and the
Philippines to France if the latter will
aid Spain in the war against the United
States. There may be less reason to
doubt that such a proposition has been
made than there is that there is any
likelihood of its acceptance, if the re
port has any foundation in fact. Spain
undoubtedly could, if she would, de
liver to France possession of the North
west coast of Morocco, but with the
Philippines it is a different matter.
She can't.''deliver the goods" there.
She might execute an instrument
somewhat in the nature of a first-claim
deed, but it would have little value,
with the United States fleet under Ad
miral Dewey in Manila harbor, and
thousands of American soldiers hasten
ing across the great Pacific to hold fast
to the rich possession which the gallant
admiral and his brave men secured.
Our present war fleet, in both the
regular and auxiliary branches, may be
summarized thus:
First-class battleships .......... 4
Second-class battleship ; 1
Armored cruisers . v 2
Armored ram 1
Duble-turret monitors 6
Single-turret monitors 13
Protected cruisers.. 13
Unprotected cruisers 3
Gunboats 18
Dynamite cruiser 1
Torpedo boats 11
Total—Regular navy 73
Auxiliary cruisers, gunboats, etc 60
Total .' i 133
Besides these the battleships and tor
pedo boats building, iron and wooden
cruisers of the old navy, receiving
ships, small tugboats and miscellaneous
vessels would make the total number of
American ships-of-war of all classes al
most exactly 200.
The shells of the 6-inch cannon of
our navy are twenty inches in length,
six inches in diameter and weigh 100
pounds. It requires fifty pounds of
powder to discharge them and their
muzzle velocity is 2.150 feet per second.
