THE SI'LU AftREEMENT
Explained By President of Philip¬
pine Commission.
ANY INTERFERENCE IS UNNECESSAfiY
Mr. SchnmutB Thinks That Arrangtneats
Wl »tch Have Been Made Are Best
For All Concerned.
Washington dispatch says: In
Yiew of the current discussion of the
military agreement between General
Bates and the sultan of Sulu the views
of President Sohurman, of the Philip¬
pine commission, on the subject are
interesting.
^ r - Schurman was one of the first
Americans to visit Jolo, the seat of
Spanish government in the Sulu archi
P^&go, with and had an extended interview
the sultan before the arrival of
General Bates. The arrangements en¬
tered into between General Bates and
the sultan was considerably influenced
by this meeting.
the Although Sultan the full agreement with
has not been made public
by the Washington authorities, it can
be stated that it practically conforms
to the previous convention existing
between the Sultan and the Spanish
government. In this agreement Spain
never claimed anything more than an
external protectorate over the Sula
group, the right to suppress piracy in
its waters and to prevent the periodic
migrations of the oathbound Moham¬
medans who went to the northern
islands under a vow to kill Christians
and thus secure an entrance into Par¬
adise.
Professor Schurman said when ques¬
tioned about the probable continuance
of polygamy and slavery in the islands
after they came under the American
dominion that this was a subject
which would have to be dealt with in
the most careful fashion to bring an
ultimately satisfactory solution. He
said:
“It seems to me that were it not
for the ignorance displayed, the pres¬
ent hue and cry about polygamy and
slavery in these islands would be ab¬
solutely criminal.. In taking over the
Sulu group we have acquired no rights
of any sort there except those be¬
queathed us by Spain. She was bound
by her agreement with the sultan not
to interfere with the religion or cus¬
toms of the islands and it would be
most unwise for us to attempt this by
force when it can be ultimately ac¬
complished by the slower method of
civilization and education.
“The Sulu group proper contains
about 100,000 inhabitants. They are
all Mohammedans, as are about 150,
000 of the residents of Mindanoa,
directly east. To attempt to interfere
with the religion of these people
would precipitate one of the bloodiest
wars in which this country has ever
been engaged. They are a different race
physically and mentally isles—powerful from the resi¬
dents of the Viscayan
men and religious fanatics of the most
pronounced type,who care nothing for
death and believe the road to heaven
can be attained by killing Christians.
Polygamy is a part of their religion,
and slavery, about which so much is
being said just now, is a mild type of
feudal bondage.
“The sultan believes from what he
has seen of Americans that they are
ready to be friendly and deal honestly
by him. Our soldiers and officers al¬
ready travel into the interior of Jolo
with perfect impunity, where Span¬
iards never dared to set foot. It has
been suggested indirectly to the sul¬
tan that he should maintain an Ameri¬
can of good standing as a confidential
adviser at his court to aid him in the
work of material development for
which the beautiful group of islands
is ready, and which is bound to come
when they are thrown in touch with
the civilized. I believe that he will
take kindly to this suggestion.”

SAVINGS OF THE SOLDIERS,
Large Sams of Money Deposited by Men
Serving in the Philippines.
The United States are paying a high¬
er rate of interest to soldiers than on
the last bond issue. Last year this in¬
terest account amounted almost to (
$50,000. This interest. 4 per cent., is
paid on deposits, and only to enlisted
men. Officers are excluded. Any sol¬
dier, not retired, may deposit his sav¬
ings with any paymaster in sums not
less than $5. Money once deposited
may remain until expiration of his en¬
listment. This privilege of depositing
money lias been of great value to the
soldiers, for it provides security for
their surplus money, and is profitable.
During the past year the record of
deposits has been remarkable, but it is
the water mark has not
been reached. For the fiscal year end¬
ing June 30 more than half a million
dollars was deposited by the troops at
Manila alone. This record promises to
be eclipsed during the current year,
and the army officials would not be
surprised if deposits of soldiers in the
Philippines reached $1,500,000. One
reason for this increase Is that there
are more soldiers of the depositing
class than last year: that is, there are
more regulars. And even the new vol¬
unteers may almost be included in the
6ame category, fer they realize that
they are in for at least two years,
while the volunteers last year knew
their term of service would be brief.
and consequently had little incentive
f 0 deposit. The deposits were almost
exclusively , . confined „ , to . regulars, ______ T in „
some companies now more than half
the members are depositing, and it is
1>e] j or<H j the fever will spread, at least
possessions. I ntil in the near future
almost every soldier will be a depositor.
The benefit of this to the soldier can

The records of deposits are kept in
the office of the paymaster general.
Said a clerk engaged on this work:

feature of soldiers deposits has grown,

insignificant, but they have With ...

away behind, notwithstanding inereas
ed force and extra hours. We have
received a paymaster's abstract
from Man ia containing the names of
almost 1,400 depositors, amounting in
all to over $35,000. It may seem like
fiction, but some soldiers are deposit¬
ing more than tlioir whole monthly
pay.” substantiated
This last statement is
by showing the deposit record of a
company cook in the Ninth infantry,
in the Philippines, whose pay is S21.C0
a month, and who has been depositing
not less than $24 every month ouring
his Philippine service. He also show¬
ed the entry of a single deposit of $13,
000, made by a private at West Point,
a few months ago, and said that not
long ago a single deposit of $23,000
was made. Every now and then
heavy deposits are made, or deposits
in excess of the depositor's pay, and
naturally considerable conjecture is
occasioned. Some attribute them to
Inheritances or earnings on the out¬
side, while others are so bold as to in¬
sinuate that occasionally the soldiers
engage in games of chance, such as
poker and craps. Deposits and inter¬
est are forfeited by desertion.- New

«.j am very grateful to yon for your

I became no better and finally broke

with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, tbpn inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of dvsries.

two months the doctor gave me permis¬

but in less than a week was com¬
