Hitherto'he army of the Fil ipinos has been chiefly supported by public subscription, bat now the native government contem plates the imposition of various taxes. The inhabitants of the northern provinces, however, es pecially of Pampaug and Ilocos. flatly refuse to pay land or poll taxas because it was the popular impression that the revolutionists would abolish taxation entirely.
