PIRATES OF THE PHILIPPINES
Fierce and Bloodtntr.tr Moroa from
- Borneo That Overran the
. ' Istauda.
The Moros entered the Philippines
form Borneo at about the 'time of the
Spanish discovery. They first settled
in Sulu and Basiran but rapidly spread
over the numerous . small islands of
the Bulu and Tawl Tawl archipelagoes
and eventually occupied the whole of
the great island of Mindanao to the
east audi Balabao and the southern
thirdi of Palawan to the west. Before
their conquest of Palawan was com-
pleted they had their first serious col-
lision with Spanish troops and have
not since been able to extend their ter-
ritory; but what they had taken they
have continued to hold.
Hostilities between Moros and Span-
iards were precipitated by an unpro-
voked attack by the latter upon one
of the Moro chiefs of North Mindanao.
The attacking force was almost an-
plhilated and the fanatical passions
of the Moroa were aroused. They forth-
with began to organize forays against
the Spanish and native towns of the
central and northern islands and
from the outset met with great suc-
cess. Their piratical expeditions soon
became annual events. With each re-
curring southeast monsoon hordes of
them manned their war praus and
sailed north where they harried the
coasts until the change of monsoons
warned them to return home.
Thousands of captives were taken.
Men were compelled to harvest their
own crops for the benefit of their cap-
tors and were then butchered in coldi
blood while women and children were
carried away the former to enrich
the seraglios of Moro chiefs the latter
to be brought up as slaves.
For two and a half centuries this
state of affairs continued. Embold-
ened by continued success the Moros
no longer confined their attention to
the defenseless natives. Spanish plant-
ers and government officials were
killed or held for ransom. But the de-
light of the grim Moslem warriors was
to make prisoners of the Spanish
priests and friars toward whom they
displayed the bitterest hatred. Islands
which had once been prosperous were
almost depopulated Even foreign
sailing vessels were attacked and cap-
tured. The Spaniards did not tamely sub-
mit to this state of affairs. Expedi-
tion after exptdition was organized.
Millions of dollars and thousands of
lives were wasted. Temporary suc-
cesses were gained but they resulted
in no permanent advantages. On sev-
eral occasions landings were made on
Sulu itself forts built and garrisons
established only to be driven from the
itland or massacred to a man.
The steel wepons of the Moros were
of the best and for years they were
really better armed than the Span-
iards; but with the improvement in
firearms the Spaniards gained an ad-
vantage in which the Moros did not
share. Such cannon and rifles as they
possessed were antiquated and they
had difficulty in getting ammunition;
but it was not until the day of rapid-
fire guns and light-draft steam gun-
boats that they were finally confined to
the southern waters of the archipel-
ago. An efficient patrol of gunboats was
established and the Moro prans were
forbidden to put to sea without first
obtaining a written permit from the
nearest Spanish governor. They were
also ordered to fly the Spanish flag.
When a prau was encountered that did
not show the flag or was not provided
with a passport it was rammed and
cut in two or sunk by the fire of the
machine guns. No quarter was given.
As opportunity offered the gun-
boats shelled the Moro villages which
were built over the sa and so could
be easily reached. Sulu which had al-
ways been the seat of government and
the residence of the reigning sultans
was destroyed in 187G and a Spanish
military post established where it had
been. At first the Moros had a dis-
agreeable habit of dropping in from
time to time and wiping out the gar-
rison. It was constantly reenforced
or renewed however so that from
1876 to the present day the Spanish oc-
cupation at this point has been al-
most continuous. Prof. Dean C.Wor-
cester In Century.
Senator William E. Mason has always
been a joker. Even when a schoolboy
he never let a chance pass without hav-
ing his fun at the expense of some one
else. When he was a public school
pupil the boy knew as much about
"cribbing" as they do now and it was
nothing new for them to conceal need-
ed information on their cuffs or inside
their watches. One day when Willie
Mason was taking an examination the
keen-eyed teacher observed him take
out his watch every few minutes. The
pedagogue grew suspicious. Finally
he strode slowly down the aisle and
stopped at Willie's desk. "Let me see
your watch" he commanded. "AH
right sir" was the meek reply. The
teacher opened the front lid. He
looked somewhat Reepish when he
read the single word: "Fooled." But
he was a shrewd man and was Jjpt'
be thrown off the track ed eajg f p v
opened the back lid. Thtf.Bd fhf
