THE PHILIPINO QUESTION.
Th Singapore Free Frees of the 7th inst., in leading article thus criticises un extract from the Chitig, published in another coluinn:-
We have reason to believe that the article frem The Critic of Nov, gth, on "What Ameri- Theca Should Da," quoted to-day, was written by Mr. W. H. READ, c.ar.G., on data derived from various issues of the Singapore Free Press on the situation in the Philippines, as a mat- ter of historical truth it is not quite accurate to i say that a Singapore editor, (the writer) intro-' | duced the present leader of the Philipinos, General Aguinaklo, to the American Consul- Not the least valuable feature of Mr. Henry General at Singapore. Ilut what is true is that Savage Landor's narrative of adventures in when the Editor learned that Aguinaldo was here, Tibet is the flood of light it throws upon the and seeing the importance of controlling the characteristics of the inhabitants of the upper Filipinos and preventing reprisals when the sources of the Brahmaputrs--Mr. Landor's expected hostilities at Manila between Spain experiences were so overwhelmingly personal and America should occur, he urged on Mr. that he was afforded but little leisure or Prait the necessity of sending Aguinaldo up opportunity for studying manners and customs, to confer with Admiral Dewey, and also urged but the nature of his contact with nomads, and the sole English friend of Aguinaldo here, Mr. brigands, and soldiers, and priests rendered it Howard Bray, that Aguinaldo ought to go to inevitable that the mere history of consecutive Hongkong at once to meet the Admiral and events should take the place of philosophical that to this end a meeting should be im dissertations. The realer, therefore, though inediately arranged between General Aguinaldo not confronted with direct statements, is en and Consul-General Tratt. The Editor also abled by the indirect evidence in the book to introduced Mr. Bray to Mr. Prat, and there- estimate more or less accurately the measure after the historical initlnight conference on the of moral and mental civilization at which the 24th April at "The Mansion," River Valley present day Tibetans have arrived. The con Road was arranged, as already fully described clusion that is forced upon me is not flattering in the Singapore Free Press of May. It is to the Lannists. No regular attempt, so far as probable that this step saved the lives we are aware, has yet been made by scientists of thousands of Spaniards throughout the to support the theory of the evolution of man provinces of the Philippines. A great by references to characteristics other than deal to much has been made of Con physical, though one would imagine that

A forwarding channel in this affair, while to evidence in directions tracing the likeness Consul General Pratt is due the credit of carry- between savages..and the lower forms of Fife in the matter of behaviour towarding out the arrangement by which Aguinaldo and his staff returned from Singapore to Hong- kong to join Admiral Dewey, who had on his departure to Manila left orders with Consul Wildman as to their being sent on to join him. Owing to this action there is no doubt that Consul-General Pratt has the full confidence of Againaldo and the Filipinos, and if the United Slates Goverment decided to utilise the services of that gentleman in the Philippines they would at least have the initial advantage of securing in him a persona grata with the the necessity of following out the already well Filipinos, and also of one who is convinced of defined British precedents in dealing with the problems of a Philippine protectorate.
tiemselves and their fellow
creatures Judging murely by Mr. Landor's book the enquirer put it bluntly would find in the Tibetan me prevailing characteristics that place big on a level with the Siminid, namely an absolite sant of the sense of responsibility, an inability to pursue in the face of opposition any given curse of action, a mind easily diverted by titles, a want of will power. You an ever tell what they will be up to next. All savages and senti savages, of course, are more of fee will in their behaviours but die Tibetan would seems to plesssess in a macked depme those qualities which force the monkeys in Kipling's porta to pause in their song of triumph and remark: Brother, thay
tail hands down behind.”,
Consider for a moment Mr. Landor's adven tores after he had Loldly crussed the frontier. Time and again he came juto contact with brigands These would dash up to his party flourishing their arms, but at the very first show of opposition would lay down their guns and spears, crawl on their hands and kness and kiss the dust. As for the soldiery sent out by the Lamas to arrest the explorer their behaviour was such as that of a troop of hondara when a terrier dog has got into their midst. What endless shootings, and runnings Jo and fro, and peepings from behind rocks! It is evident that the soldiers who uhimately captured him had laren bollowing him almost every inch of the way. Now and then a troop of horsemen would approzels close to the party and even enter into a sort ofidiotic conversation, båt Mr. Landor had only to point his rifle or

MAKING UP THE DEFICIT.
A Tokyo dispatch to the Osaka Mainichi states that the Government proposes to meet the deficit in the revenue for the next fiscal year by increasing the taxes on land, incomes and saké, by making the leaf tobacco monopoly yield larger returns, and imposing a tax on the Bank of Japan: Sonic minor taxes will also be imposed. It is estimated thus to raise an additional revenue of 32 million yen for next year, the balance of the deficit (about so millioon yen in all) being supplied by borrowing the indemnity money. It is estimated that by the increase of the land tax a total income of Y14,500,000 will be obtained in the next fiscal year, and 22,000,000 in this fiscal year after
next.
