The inhabitants of the Philippines . enturies, and were a principal cause of the last revoltof the Tagals. Yet the Peace Commission at Paris appearsto have given the three Orders a new title to their disputedpossessions by guaranteeing to the Church the enjoymentof its property, which, if the Spaniards had continued torule the islands, must ultimately have been taken from itin the natural course of events, as has happened in everyother Catholic country. I have no doubt that the pacification of the Philippinesby the American forces has been greatly retarded, and isnow rendered more difificult, by this clause, which musthave been accepted by the American commissioners undera misapprehension of its import, and from imperfect in-formation as to the status quo. This difificult matter canstill be arranged, but it will require the outlay of a con-siderable sum of money, which, however, would eventuallybe recouped.

Of undaunted courage they have ever been to the frontwhen calamities threatened their flocks ; they have witnessedand recorded some of the most dreadful convulsions ofnature, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and destructivetyphoons. In epidemics of plague and cholera they havenot been dismayed, nor have they ever in such casesaband
