a thousand soldiers scattered at differ-

north.Zambonnga has for several hundred

yr»r» been the chief garrison town of this

part of the world. The Spaniards made

It the headquarters of their army andnavy of the south, and It occupies th«

same position today with the Americans.It la situated on the extreme southwest-ern end of Mindanao, on tho wide but

Hasllan, through which the vesselsmove going from Japan to Australia. ItInn a fairly good harbor, but the ships

hare to anchor far out from tho shore,and passengers and freight are brought

to the own In small boats. o*o of thetransports wns fifteen days landing 700tori* of cargo. The mule transport uponwhich I came had to send Its wagons»ihor»' In dugouts, and the mules weremade to swim. Two steam boilers foran Ice plant, having been hermeticallysealed and plugged up well, floatedanhore. and, altogether, days were takenIn landing stuff which should have con-sumed hours.

The cattle arerailed chiefly for beef all over the Philip-

i pines, although In s< me Islands, such asj Panay. they are employed as carriage an 1j draft animals The natives, as a rule, use

, no butter, and outside of the towns but lit-tle milk The reault is that there are bu;few good milch cons, although it is b»-

j lleved that such could be bred.Not only the agricultural department,

: but also the geological survey and theJ Smithsonian Institution, should send par-i ties to the Philippines in the near future.; The Islands, as I have said, have not beenI explored, and a scientific Investigation

should be made of them at the earliestmoment. The scientists should be hereit the present time, u hen there are plentyof soldiers to protect them, and whenthey can easily get a guard to accom-

pany them to any place they wish to go.This will make them safe from the sav-ages of the mountains and will enablethem to undertake Journeys which, inthe tin»»-H of an ordinary force, might bodangerous, to say the least.

This especially so In Mindanao, wherethe land, as I have said, belongs almostentirely to the government.
