Natives Are Ail Natural Musicians. QUICK AND RETENTIVE FAMILIES THAT CAN AFFORD IT HAVE PIANOS. Passion for Gambling Cockflghtinjj One of the Favorite Amusements in the Islands. Appclal Correspondence of The Evening Star and Chicago Record Herald. BY W1L.UAH K.

CURTIS. MANILA. May 2S, 11)04. AH are natural musicians, although the islands have never produced a vocalist of more than ordinary repute. Tlio inherent passion and talent manifests itself it every possible opportunity.

Every vili itre has its orchestra and band, and some the organizations hava reached a high gree of perfection, aa iftople Who have the St. Louis fair will testify. The military band and orchestra which is been sent over there Is a part of the mstabulary? the police organization under lie control of the civil is been drilled by an American, who has il-'c'ded musical genius, and Is a graduate the Boston Conservatory. Th band Is probably the most advanced rid accomplished musical organization ever known In the Philippines. It Is composed of picked men from other bands and orchestras.

has been favored by tlie officials with plenty of time for training, and provided witli modern Instruments of the higltest class. Professional clitics will notica defects in its performances which are due to the superficial character of the native, lla Is never thorough and never learns for the love of learning, but rather In order to accomplish something orgratfi.v his pleasure. The same characteristic is manifested in everything lie undertakes. There Is only a thin veneer of civilization upon the savage niture of the Filipino race. But the cons abulary band gives most pleasing performances.

It Is extremely popular, and its concerts, at twilight twice a week on the L.uneta. the park along the shore of the bay, are attended by thousands of delighted lie.nets It will have similar popul irity at St. I.ouis and will rank among the bands that will be beard there. There are several native composers of local fame, who have produced operas, asses and orchestral compositions of internationl popularity, while the number of light, dashing piano compositions published here every year is very large. Quick and Retentive.

Every child, particularly the girls, in the Philippine Islands has a piano when it Is six or seven years old. if its parents can afford to buy or hire one, and the Manila directory contains a long list of teachers of instrumental who seem to be busy. If you take a morning walk on any of tlie streets in the well-to-do part of town you will recognize that the coming generation Filipinos are diligent in practicing their music lessons, and go at them with great zeal and pers stence. Nearly everybody can play some kind of an instrument, and hundreds of families In Manila can furnish a very respectable orchestra without going beyond their own threshold. And they play with a good deal of sentiment and taste, although few of them are able to interpret the higher classes of classical music.

School teachers report that the little Filipinos pick up music instinctively; that they have quick and receptive memories and cin learn the melody and the words of a song in two or three lessons. On the evening of Washington's birthday there was a cele- brat Ion at the United States Club, with a program of music and recitation. The most attractive numbers were "The Star Sp tngied Banner" and other patriotic American songs given by a chorus of youngsters from one of the primary schools. Tliey sang as if their s.ouls were In it; they sang as If their lives depended upon it; not with the listless, perfunctory manner of the ordinary school child, but with genuine enthusiasm and enjoyment. Annual Season of Opera.

A season of opera is given here every winter. The opera house is an ugly old building, a cross between a political wigwam and a bull ring, but it has a large stage, excellent acoustic properties and Is a source of great enjoyment to all classes of people. Tne solo performers principally come from Spain, the chorus and orchestra are local talent, mostly Filipinos trained by natives or Spanish teachers, and they sing and play as well as thosa of Italy. During Spanish times the opera was subsidized by the government, but Americans do not approve of such uses for public money, and the manager is compelled to depend upon ordinary patronage. He has raised his prices and is able to make about as much profit as he with a subsidy.

Rich people sit In boxes. There are two tiers around the entire house, with a big one in the center of the horseshoe, opposite the stage for the use of the governor, who appears frequently, not only for the pleasure it gives him, but to encourage the enterprise The main floor, or parquet, is filled with chairs, which cost from $1 in Mexican money or cents gold to according to location, for ordinary performances. and double those amounts when extra functions are given. Behind the boxes and In the top gallery the common people can obtain seats for 25 cents, and those parts of the house are always crowded with sharp critics who manifest their approval or disapproval in a decided manner. They are usually enthusiastic, and cannot restrain themselves until a singer has finished her lines, which Is annoying to the rest of the audience, but complimentary to the performer.

Opera is given three nights a week, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes In Italian, and the season runs four months in the year. Certainly no city in the United States provides so gixid and so many entertainments at so low a price. The native gentlemen appear at the opera In ordinary evening dress, but the ladles of their families wear the native costume. The rformance does not begin until 9:30 clock and continues until 1 or In the rnot nlng. You frequently see Chinese in the audiences and several members of the Chinese colony are faithful patrons, although It Is a popular impression that their race has no ear for melody or harmony.

We attended the farewell benefit of a popular prima donna, and In dl Limmermoor" aroused her audience to a tremendous pitch of enthusiasm. Her admirers brought gifts of all and wearing apparel, as well as flowers, and a pretty idea was the release of doves and canary birds In different parts of the hall during the applause. They flew about the auditorium for a while and then, attracted by the strong lights, made their way to the stage It was rather lnapropos. but nevertheless Interesting, to have the prima donna's presents displayed In the middle of the stage during the last act. They occupied two large tables and looked like a combination of a florist's and a Jeweler's store.

The Native Dancing. The native dancing Is an Imitation of the Spanish Instead of the oriental, such as we have been seeing In Egypt, India and Burma The dance music Is very lively, the dancers are animated and graceful, and the costumes of the girls are a novelty, although they are not so picturesque as those worn by the Sevllllanos and other darning women of Spaltf. The Filipino women are petite in stature, their faces are fiat of the Malay type; their complexions are dark and muddy, but they have glorify us hair, coarse, but abundant, and as black and lustrous as a polished lump of anthracite coal You seldom see a pretty native woman, but they have more Intelligent faces than the men. Gambling a Ruling Passion. Gambling, after music.

Is the ruling passion of the Filipino race, and cockflghtlng is the national sport, the cause of poverty, Idleness, vice and general demoralization. The police have endeavored to prevent public gambling In Manila and have succeedad It suppressing It almost entirely, but they ii not prevent private gambling, and a group of Filipinos cannot get together with- out pitching pennies, shaking die? or placing some kind of a game for stakes, as as a servant or a workman gets his wages he starts for the nearest place ttm offers a chance for him to get rid of the money, and when it is gone be apt pilfer from his employer to get to The other morning 1 gave a barefooted urchin a penny for some little service. Ho made a polite bow and thanked me In a grave and decorous manner. As Boon as thn acknowledgments were made he let go a shrill yell and started oft as fast as he could run. A few moments later I saw him in the midst of a group of urchins about the same age who were squatting 01n the ground gambling for the ooin.

And he lost it he came up to me and in a most beseeching tone begged for another Penny in order that he might have a chance win It back. At the factories, at the docks and at other places where ra I ve .3 employed, the managers will the wives of their workmen come around on pay day to get the wages for fear th-lr husbands will lose them gambling before they get home. Priests who have lived a long time In the Philippines declare that thf vice is Incurable, that It is an Inherent passion, and that they long ago gave up all efforts at reform on the ground that I was much preferable to it may be said that Fnipinos very seld.m ore intoxicated, and few of them drink excess. The Fighting Cocks. As vou go about over here, in the cities as well as the country, you are continually meeting natives of all ages and conditions with roosters under their arms, petting them as if they were babies or poodle dogs; and John Foreman declares that when native huts catch fire, as they doveryoften and being rna.le of palm leavesand other Inflammable material are father of the fami ly rushes to save his fighting filled th fighting cocks of different and breeds, and the master of the househoia spends a great deal of his time training thorn for the ring.

Petty as you might call hei? are hefid at all hours of every aay. All a man has do is to yell for his neighbor on the other side of the hedge to bring out his rooster and a scrap can be arranged In an Cocks that show nerve and good care and are trained for the pit, those that do not have their heads cut off and ale baked or boiled for dinner Hence.there,are usually three or four birds In training in cverv family, and on Sunday afternoons the owm invariably takes the fittest one of them under his arm and starts foi the near est cockpit, which, since the American occupation. must be outside the limits. The country roads are thronged with Hie walking' and riding in vehicles of every description drawn by ponies, horses, donkevs. bullocks and carabaos, whole families being packed into carts and wagons, men.

women and children, with usually one or more chickens in the company. The Cockpits. The cockpits are enormous bamboo amphitheaters. arranged like the tents of a circus, with tiers or seats sloping down to a little circle in the center Outside peddlers, fakirs, and other enterprising citizens set up stands for the sale of every variety of food and drink and run games with all kinds of gambling paraphernalia. The grounds look like those of a circus.

Country people unhitch their horses, tie them to 'the wheels of the wagons and then make a duv of it wandering about. with their neighbors, patronizing the eating stands and the gambling places and "blowing in" as much money as they have accumulated during the week before. There are half a dozen such places in the vicinity of Manila and half the population of the province may be found around them every Sunday afternoon. If the government should attempt to prohibit coekfighting there would be certainly a revolution. The best it can do is to forbid it within the city limits.

Since until the American occupation, the Spanish government recognized cockfighting as a legitimate sport and made it a profitable source of revenue. The year before the war began it collected $149,039 for licenses to maintain cockpits and from gambling. Both vices were farmed out like the sale of opium and were taxed like any other business. All cockfighting was regulated by law, and the code filled several pages of the Spanish statute book. Public fights were prohibited except on Thursdays and Sundays and on religious feast days; no person was allowed to stake more than upon a single contest.

No cock was allowed to wear more than one metallic spur or gaff, and a fight was officially over when one of the birds was dead or ran away. Fight Regulations. Nowadays the fighting is limited to Sundays and feast days, and there are no official regulations, but each pit has its own rules, and the proprietors make much more money than they did in Spanish times because they are not compelled to share their profits with the government. A small admission fee Is charged and the proprietor has a small percentage of all winnings. He also receives a fee for every cock entered.

Betting books are made by professionals and pools are sold upon well-known birds, but most of the betting is wild and reckless by people in the audience and is based upon the Judgment of the person Interested after inspecting the cock in the ring. Men of all classes save every cent they can spare during the week to lose It in an Instant upon their own bird or the bird of some friend, and become so excited that they will bet the shirts off their backs to show their confidence In their own opinions. The fights are very short. Gaffs of steel as keen as stilettos are fastened to the spurs of the birds and the struggle is over the instant one of them happens to touch the other in a vital place. Usually the fatal blow Is an accident, because two birds cannot come together without one of them being badly hurt.

SAW LOOMIS LAND. Positive Statement in Writing Made by a Frenchman. A cablegram from Paris last night says: Gustave Flamm of San Francisco, the passenger of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, who particularly noticed Kent J. Loomls, today furnished the American officials with a formal written statement, which will be warded to the State Department at Washington, giving precise details regarding Mr. Loomls up to the moment Mr.

Flamm went ashore. His written statement follows substantially the verbal statement which he made at the American embassy June 24, as I cabled to the Associated Press at the time. but it Is more explicit, being lntende.d for I the official record of the passenger who last saw Mr. Loomls before his disappearance. The statement adds certaJn details of a rather personal nature, which It Is desirable to withhold for the present.

Mr. Loomls' trunks and valises, which the steamship company held subject to Consul General Gowdy's orders, were turned over today to the consulate. They were all locked and there were no keys. A curious fact Is that the trunks bear as an identification mark the letter Instead of Tag shows that the first name had been erased. The Cherbourg report that Mr.

Loomis body had been washed up near there, although denied, had tended to heighten the tragic possibilities of the case. The officials here have not abandoned hope. Fugitive Charged With Four Murders. A dispatch from Chicago last night says: A dispatch to the Tribune from Winona, says: John Smith, supposed to be guilty of four murders, the latest of which was the shooting of Sheriff Harris of Eau Claire. a few days ago on an Omaha passenger train near that city, while the sheriff was attempting to arrest him on the charge of robbing a store at Rosmond.

has been located in the bottom across the river from this city Three hundred Wisconsin militiamen form a net through which the desperado can hardly escape alive. At Galesville 8mlth entered a farm house and demanded something to eat. When the food was placed on the table he placed his revolvers in front of him and allowed no one to leave the room. In addition to the murder of Sheriff Harris Smith is wanted for killing the chief of police at Havre, Mont. After killing the Montana officer he grew fearful that his wife or child might expose the crime, so.

It Is alleged, he shot them both and fled to Wisconsin. He is twenty-four years old. Gov. Montague has named John C. Easley of Henrico county, a member of the board of of the Virginia penitentiary.

ON THE RIVER FRONT NEW WEEMS LIKE STEAMER HAS SUCCESSFUL TRIAL. Sand Dredge Nearly Ready for Service Craft to Cruise Hatters. The new steamer Anne Arundel, built at the Baltimore shipbuilding works for the Weems Steamboat Company, had a dock trial at the builder's yard Monday, i and every part of her powerful engines and machinery worked admirably. The steamer will have her official trial trip on Chesapeake Bay tomorrow afternoon, and representatives of the builders and owners of the boat will be aboard. The new steamer is to be ready for delivery to the Weems Line July 1, and It is expected her builders will be ready to turn her over to her owners by that time.

The fitting out of the steamer is now going on, and she will practically be ready for service as soon as she Is turned over to Weems Line. It is expected the new steamer will visit this city shortly. The cooler weather of the past two or three days has had a beneficial effect on business at the wholesale fish market on the 11th street wharf, and this morning the demand was fairly brisk. The bulk stock of fish on hand Is still coming from southern waters, though the dealers are now receiving trout from the Delaware and New Jersey coast fisheries. Prices remain firm.

The demand for crabs, clams and oysters continues excellent, while the supply remains poor and prices rather high. The new sand dredge and scows of the Potomac Dredging Company, which are building at Alexandria, will, It Is stated, be ready to go to work by the middle of July. The company has acquired the sind and gravel rights at several points on the river, nearby, and will start work on them. Until the new tug. which Is building for i the company at Solomon's Island, is completed, the towing for the company will I be done by the launch J.

S. Douglass, which was recently bought from Alexandria parties. The United States coast survey steamer Hydrographer, which has been making surveys on the south Atlantic coast for several months past, will, it Is expectcd, return to Baltimore about June 30. With the return of the Hydrographer all the coast survey I vessels will be at the Baltimore station. The receipts of ice to meet the demands of the city, have been quite heavy in the past twenty-four hours, as over 3.000 tons have been brought into port.

The schooners Future. J. Manchester, Haynes and tiara Goodwin are the arrivals and all are consigned to the American Ice Company, ine Future brings 1.000 tons, the Hayneg 1.100 tons and the Goodwin 1.400 tons. The first named vessel is paying her first visit to city. There are at sea bound here four large schooners laden with ice.

Preparing for the Fourth. The owners of the pleasure yachts and launches owned here are preparing to spend the Fourth of July holiday down the river aboard their craft. It is expected that nearly all the pleasure craft owned here will leave port Saturday afternoon and will I not return until Monday night or power launch owned by Messrs. Kelley. Burroughs and other young men of Alexandria is named the Mary and is the largest and handsomest vessel of her kind owned at the Virginia city.

She Is berthed at the wharf adjoining the landing of the ferry steamer George Washington. The deadrise boat which Mr. Arthur King is building for himself at Alexandria is nearly completed and will, it is expected, be ready to put overboard within the next ten days. The vessel Is a roomy craft and will be used by her owner and builder for pleasure trips on the river. Dean-e Son at Alexandria have the contract for the building of a thirty-foot gasoline power launch for parties here.

The boat is to be ready for service, it is stated. In the early fall. The tug Jackson has been hauled out on the marine railway at Bennett's boat yard for some minor repair work preparatory to returning to service on the river. The which gained more than a national reputation as a filibuster during the Cuban war against Spain, came Into port yesterday afternoon with an iceladen vessel in tow. The Dauntless is now owned by Baltimore parties and Is engaged in general towing on Chesapeake bay and its tributaries.

It is stated that the big ice house of the American Ice Company on the ttth street wharf, which was destroyed by fire about three years ago. Is to be rebuilt shortly. The burned building was the largest of the Ice storage plants In the city. SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES. List of New Midshipmen Admitted to Annapolis Academy.

Beavers was made a witness yeterday in the proceedings to obtain his removal to Washington on an indictment charging him with complicity in the postal frauds, it was Beaver's first appearance on the stand In his own behalf.

Beavers denied having entered Into an agreement, as charged in the Indictment, with W. Scott Towers, agent for the booktypewriter company, under which he was to receive $25 for every one of its machines 90ld to the government. "If I remember rightly, the draft I got from Mr.

Towers was In the nature of fi loan," Beavers said. Mr. Seabury's motion to have the case against Beavers dismissed was denied and examination was adjourned until today, when It is expected It will be concluded. Helen Keller Gets "Cum Laude." A dispatch from Cambridge, last night says: Amid the applause of her class largest in the history of RadcliiTe Helen Keller, the deaf and blind girl, was graduated today with the honor of "cum laude" and a degree of bachelor of arts. The graduation exercises were In Sanders Theater, Harvard.

Miss Keller did not take a prominent part In the program, but, wearing a cap and gown, sat with the other seniors until her turn to receive her degree. Only once was a reference made to her In the address, when Radcliffe's president, Dr. Brlgga, said: "At RadclifTe shall the eyes of the blind be opened and ears of the deaf be unstopped." With the constant aid of her companion and teacher, Mlas Sullivan, who has been ears and eyes for her. Miss Keller has pursued her studies in a remarkable way and achieved unusual honors. By means of the Bralle system and by Interpreting the words of Miss Sullivan by touching her lips with the tips of the fingers, Miss Helen Keller has mastered those subjects whioh mahy with sight and hearing and speech have struggled in vain to do.

Mr. Cooley Hurt In Runaway. A dispatch from New York last night says: James Cooley, and Miss Marjorla Cooley. cousins of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, and son and daughter of the late Major Cooley, who live on the Country Club grounds In Westchester, were driving along the Fort Schuyler road to Westchester station yesterday afternoon In a light phaeton, when their horse took fright at an automobile and bolted.

The mob cut the horses loose and overturned the carriage, and In the excitement the negro escaped.

He is now at large handcuffed. The sheriff has telegraphed for hounds In order to recapture him. Great excitement prevails, and mobs are scattered along the road from Harper's Ferry to Hancock. Miss Kanode, who was assaulted by a negro yesterday, is a young lady of twentytwo years, and of excellent famly. When attacked she was returning from Harper Ferry, where she had purchased a ticket to the St.

Louis fair, Intending to start today- i The assault took place on the river road, near Peachers' Mill, about two miles west of Harper's Ferry. Miss lvanode was dragged from her buggy 100 yards Into a cluster of bushes by the negro, who had a handkerchief over her face. He flourished an open knife and declared he would cut her throat If she made an outcry, ahd then ran his hand into her mouth to keep her from giving an alarm. The negro left her In a terrible plight. Her horse had gone, and she made her way to Robert Kngle's house, about half a mile away.

To Mr. Engle she related the story of the crime. He went with her to Harper's Ferry, and from there she was taken to the home of her father, Mr. Alfred Kanode. The girl's face was much cut and bruised, and the marks of the negro Angers were visible.

A dispatch from Martinsburg last night says: The news of the assault spread rapidly throughout the country. Every road was watched and every train was searched. Three negroes were arrested here last night under suspicion. Williams In particular answered the description perfectly. An angry mob began to gather around the jail apd threats of lynching were made.

Sheriff J. D. Blllmyer of Jefferson county was notified and came here at 2 o'clock last night. He was so well satisfied that he had the right man that he returned to Miss Kanode's home, and brought her here. The negroes, who had been taken from the trains on the Baltimore and Ohio going westward, were brought before her at the police office one by one.

Williams was the third one brought in, and identified instantly. When asked whether she was certain, she exclaimed: Remembered the Eyes. "l'es; I can never forget those eyes." and began trembling from head to foot. Judge Faulkner will order a special grand jury at once and will push the trial with possible speed to satisfy the demands of the public. A dispatch from Hagerstown.

says; George W. Williams, the Baltimore negro accused of criminally assaulting Miss Kanode near Harper's Ferry yesterday afternoon, arrested at Martinsburg yesterday, was brought to Hagerstown at clock on the Cumberland Valley train this afternoon and placed temporarily in the Washington county jail for safekeeping. Williams was accompanied by Sheriff Blllmyer, Deputy Sheriff Herbert Rogers of Jefferson county and Constable Charles Alexander who had gone to Martinsburg after two bicycle thieves, who refused to come without requisition papers. As soon as the train pulled Hagerstown depot Williams was pushed into a cab and driven rapidly to jail before any one knew what was transpiring. At (J.I10 o'clock this evening Williams was nut into a carriage with Sheriff Blllmyer, Deputy Rogers, Constable Alexander ana two newspaper correspondents and driven to Kemps station, on the Western Maryland railroad, several miles west of Hagerstown.

Here a train was taken to Big where the prisoner was taken ofT and driven in a waiting carriage to Hancock, from which point a Baltimore and Ohio train was to be taken to Keyser W. where the prisoner was to be jailed. Before the party left they gave out to the public Information that their destination was Piedmont. W. Va? but privately said they would take Williams to Keyser.

hen the party left here fully 1.000 people were packed around the jail. Many hostile expressions were heard, but no open attempt was made to take the negro. TROOPS FOR LAND OPENING. Nine Million Acres Opened in Nebraska for Settlement. A dispatch from Lincoln, last night says: Gov.
