writers of that period were historian Pavel Safarik and Jan Kollar whose allegorical sonnet The Daughter of Slava is a major work of Czech literature. Karel Macha is regarded as one of the greatest Czech poets. His best known work May influenced many other poets. In the late 19th century a more universal literature, influenced by Western Europe, emerged. Novelists Bozena Nemcova and Jaroslav Vrchlicky were known for writing in the new vein. Other outstanding figures of that period were poets Jan Neruda, Svatopluk Cech, and Pavel Orszagh, who wrote under the pen name Hviezdoslav.

In the 20th century, the creation of an independent Czechoslovak state was a great stimulus to literature, and some of the best works were written during the interwar period. Outstanding poets were Josef Kora, Frantisek Halas, Vitezslav Nezval, and Jaroslav Seifert. Distinguished prose authors included Ivan Olbracht, Vladislav Vancura, and Karel Capek, who was also a playwright. The Good Soldier Schweik, a work of international reputation, was written by Jaroslav Hasek during this period. (Franz Kafka, though a native and a resident of Prague, wrote in German and is therefore not usually listed as a Czech writer.)

After a decline during the Nazi and Stalinist eras, literary production increased considerably in the late 1950's and 1960's, and became primarily concerned with people in human situations, indifferent to social ideas and alienated from society. Josef Skvorecky is recognized for several novels, particularly The Cowards and The Emoeke Legend, while Peter Karvas is noted for The Scar, a sharp criticism of Stalinism. Using the same theme, Ladislav Mnacko wrote Belated Reportages and A Taste of Power, which exposed the corruption and hypocrisy of the bureaucracy. During the relative freedom of the 1960's, poets Miroslav Holub and Jiri Kolar commented on the contemporary scene while Ivan Wernisch and Ivan Divis concentrated on the inner world of the individual.

In the 1970's with the reimposition of ideological restrictions, many authors no longer wrote or have gone into exile. However, the regime favors poet Valentin Beniak, and has presented literary prizes to B. Riba, A.Z. Plud, and Jan Solovic.

2. Performing arts

a. Music and dance

As with literature, Czechoslovak music ostensibly derives from the revolution, but in fact it is an integral part of ancient folk life, religion, and Western European musical tradition. Folk music and dance have not only influenced the classical forms of music and ballet, but have survived in pure form as a part of daily life. The music and dance of each region of the country are distinctive and reflect their cultural heritage.

The 16th through the 19th century was a particularly creative period in the development of Czechoslovak music. Classical secular music was introduced from Western Europe in the 16th century, and by the 18th century, a Czechoslovak baroque musical tradition, based on folk melodies and characterized by energetic rhythms, had emerged. Czech musicians were playing in orchestras all over Europe; Jan Ladislav Dusek, a piano virtuoso, was particularly well known throughout the continent. The best known composer of the time was Jan Jakub Ryha. In the 19th century, classical music began to have a mass appeal. Opera was sung in Czech and in 1811 the Prague Conservatoire, the oldest in Central Europe, was established. The most important figures in Czechoslovak music, Bedrich Smetana (1824-84) and Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), were writing operas, symphonies, and chamber music heard throughout the world. Several other composers, such as Zdenek Fibich, Josef Snk, Josef Foerster, and Vitezslav Novak, were writing lesser known works.

Creativity and experimentation in music continued in the first part of the 20th century with the development of modern atonal music by composers Leos Janacek and Bohuslav Martinu. Other modern composers, who are still living, include Eugen Suchon, who wrote the opera The Whirlwind, and Alois Haba, who is best known for his quarter tone music. Although atonal music and avant-garde experimentation have been discouraged since the Communist revolution, musical expression in contemporary Czechoslovakia is allowed more freedom than the other arts because of its nonideological character. A few young composers continue to write less extreme modern works, which are performed mostly in Eastern Europe. The government condemns most forms of Western popular music as decadent, particularly rock, although jazz is tolerated. The best known Czechoslovak popular singer is Karel Gott who performs in many countries, including the United States.

Classical ballet is a popular form of entertainment, and the Brno ballet company is considered the best in the country. Its repertoire includes internationally known works such as "The Nutcracker's Suite," domestic productions such as Dvorak's "Slavonic Dances," and new Russian presentations such as "The

8 Thus he comes to believe that the expression can only take one form, and that this form is essential to the thing expressed. The symbol becomes to him the keystone of the social fabric. Such a thing cannot be a subject either for discussion or experiment. Its existence is an indubitable premiss from which all reasoning must start. Children must be taught that doubt of its existence is as insane as disbelief in the existence of an external world. A Socrates who attempts to reason on such matters must be treated as a dangerous lunatic, if not as a fiendish criminal. Much more then is a heretic who actually attacks that by which all must stand or fall, to be treated as an anarchist and an enemy of the human race.

Those who, like the late Dr Creighton, wish entirely to dissociate toleration from scepticism, use very plausible arguments to prove (1) that persecution is entirely a thing of the past; (2) that the religious toleration of our own times is in no way connected with indifference.

Let us first deal with Dr Creighton's own view as expressed in his Hulsean lectures (1893-4). Of medieval persecution, with which he chiefly concerns himself, he writes: "The infliction of punishment for erroneous opinions was adopted by the church . . . when the church accepted the responsibility of maintaining order in the community, and disappeared when society became

 Perplexities do throng upon my sight, Like scudding fog-banks, to obscure the light; Some new dilemma rises every day, And I can only shut my eyes and pray.

Lord, I am not sufficient for these things, Giver me the light that Thy sweet presence brings; Give me Thy grace, give my Thy constant strength; Lord, for my comfort now appear at length.

It may be that my way doth seem confused, Because my heart of Thy way is afraid; Because my eyes have constantly refused To see the only opening Thou hast made.

If thus I try to force my way along— The smoothest road encumbered is for me; For were I as an angel, swift and strong, I could not go, unless allowed by Thee.

And now I pray Thee, Lord, to lead Thy child— Poor wretched wanderer from Thy grace and love; Whatever way Thou pleasest through the wild, So it but take her to Thy home above.

us a stream which issues forth From God's eternal throne, And from the Lamb a living stream, Clear as the crystal stone. This stream doth water Paradise, It makes the angels sing, One cordial drop revives my heart. Hence all my joys do spring.

Such joys are are unspeakable, And full of glory too; Such hidden manna, hidden pearls, As worldliugs do not know.

 (and now she was certain that it was true) filled her with consternation. Ever since she came home she had been trying to think; but her mind was a blank, and she could not collect her thoughts. Suddenly she heard a step, the feet were booted so that it could not be one of the boys; with a gasp of apprehension she realised that it could only be her husband. He was in the sitting-room and she heard herself called. She did not reply. There was a moment’s silence and then a knock on her door.

“May I come in?”

Kitty rose from her bed and slipped into a dressing-gown.

“Yes.”

He entered. She was glad that the closed shutters shadowed her face.

“I hope I didn’t wake you. I knocked very, very gently.”

“I haven’t been asleep.”

He went to one of the windows and threw open the shutter. A flood of warm light streamed into the room.

“What is it?” she asked. “Why are you back so early?”

“The Sisters said that you weren’t very well. I thought I had better come and see what was the matter.”

A flash of anger passed through her.

“What would you have said if it had been cholera?”

 “If it had been you certainly couldn’t have made your way home this morning.”

She went to the dressing-table and passed the comb through her shingled hair. She wanted to gain time. Then, sitting down, she lit a cigarette.

“I wasn’t very well this morning and the Mother Superior thought I’d better come back here. But I’m perfectly all right again. I shall go to the convent as usual to-morrow.”

“What was the matter with you?”

“Didn’t they tell you?”

“No. The Mother Superior said that you must tell me yourself.”

He did now what he did seldom; he looked her full in the face; his professional instincts were stronger than his personal. She hesitated. Then she forced herself to meet his eyes.

“I’m going to have a baby,” she said.

She was accustomed to his habit of meeting with silence a statement which you would naturally expect to evoke an exclamation, but never had it seemed to her more devastating. He said nothing; he made no gesture; no movement on his face nor change of expression in his dark eyes indicated that he had heard. She felt suddenly inclined to cry. If a man loved his wife and his wife loved him, at such a moment they were drawn together by a poignant emotion. The silence was intolerable and she broke it.

“I don’t know why it never occurred to me before. It was stupid of me, but what with one thing and another ”

 “How long have you when do you expect to be confined?”

The words seemed to issue from his lips with difficulty. She felt that his throat was as dry as hers. It was a nuisance that her lips trembled so when she spoke; if he was not of stone it must excite his pity.

“I suppose I’ve been like this between two and three months.”

“Am I the father?”

She gave a little gasp. There was just a shadow of a tremor in his voice; it was dreadful that cold self-control of his which made the smallest token of emotion so shattering. She did not know why she thought suddenly of an instrument she had been shown in Hong-Kong upon which a needle oscillated a little and she had been told that this represented an earthquake a thousand miles away in which perhaps a thousand persons had lost their lives. She looked at him. He was ghastly pale. She had seen that pallor on him once, twice before. He was looking down, a little sideways.

“Well?”

She clasped her hands. She knew that if she could say yes it would mean everything in the world to him. He would believe her, of course he would believe her, because he wanted to; and then he would forgive. She knew how deep was his tenderness and how ready he was, for all his shyness, to expend it. She knew that he was not vindictive; he would forgive her if she could but give him an excuse to, an excuse that touched his heart, and he would


text:
Page:The Painted Veil - Maugham - 1925.djvu/192

 forgive completely. She could count on him never to throw the past in her teeth. Cruel he might be, cold and morbid, but he was neither mean nor petty. It would alter everything if she said yes.

And she had an urgent need for sympathy. The unexpected knowledge that she was with child had overwhelmed her with strange hopes and unforeseen desires. She felt weak, frightened a little, alone and very far from any friends. That morning, though she cared little for her mother, she had had a sudden craving to be with her. She needed help and consolation. She did not love Walter, she knew that she never could, but at this moment she longed with all her heart for him to take her in his arms so that she could lay her head on his breast; clinging to him she could have cried happily; she wanted him to kiss her and she wanted to twine her arms around his neck.

She began to weep. She had lied so much and she could lie so easily. What could a lie matter when it could only do good? A lie, a lie, what was a lie? It was so easy to say yes. She saw Walter’s eyes melt and his arms outstretched towards her. She couldn’t say it; she didn’t know why, she just couldn’t. All she had gone through during these bitter weeks, Charlie and his unkindness, the cholera and all these people dying, the nuns, oddly enough even that funny, drunken little Waddington, it all seemed to have changed her so that she did not know herself; though she was so deeply moved, some bystander in her soul seemed to watch her with terror and surprise. She had to tell the truth.


text:
Page:The Painted Veil - Maugham - 1925.djvu/193

 It did not seem worth while to lie. Her thoughts wandered strangely: on a sudden she saw that dead beggar at the foot of the compound wall. Why should she think of him? She did not sob: the tears streamed down her face, quite easily, from wide eyes. At last she answered the question. He had asked her if he was the child’s father.

“I don’t know,” she said.

He gave the ghost of a chuckle. It made Kitty shudder.

“It’s a bit awkward, isn’t it?”

His answer was characteristic, it was exactly what she would have expected him to say, but it made her heart sink. She wondered if he realised how hard it had been for her to tell the truth (at the same moment she recognised that it had not been in the least hard, but inevitable) and if he gave her credit for it. Her answer, I don’t know, I don’t know, hammered away in her head. It was impossible now to take it back. She got her handkerchief from her bag and dried her eyes. They did not speak. There was a syphon on the table by her bed and he got her a glass of water. He brought it to her and held the glass while she drank. She noticed how thin his hand was, it was a fine hand, slender, with long fingers, but now it was nothing but skin and bone; it trembled a little: he could control his face, but his hand betrayed him.

“Don’t mind my crying,” she said. “It’s nothing really; it’s only that I can’t help the water running out of my eyes.”

She drank the water and he put the glass

 back. He sat down on a chair and lit a cigarette. He gave a little sigh. Once or twice before she had heard him sigh like that and it always gave her a catch at the heart. Looking at him now, for he was staring with abstracted gaze out of the window, she was surprised that she had not noticed before how terribly thin he had grown during the last weeks. His temples were sunken and the bones of his face showed through the skin. His clothes hung on him loosely as though they had been made for a larger man. Through his sunburn his face had a greenish pallor. He looked exhausted. He was working too hard, sleeping little and eating nothing. In her own grief and perturbation she found room to pity him. It was cruel to think that she could do nothing for him.

He put his hand over his forehead, as though his head were aching, and she had a feeling that in his brain too those words hammered madly: I don’t know, I don’t know. It was strange that this moody, cold and shy man should have such a natural affection for very little babies; most men didn’t care much even for their own, but the nuns, touched and a little amused, had more than once spoken of it. If he felt like that about those funny little Chinese babies what would he have felt about his own? Kitty bit her lips in order to prevent herself from crying again.

He looked at his watch.

“I’m afraid I must go back to the city. I have a great deal to do to-day Shall you be all right?”


text:
Page:The Painted Veil - Maugham - 1925.djvu/195

 “Oh, yes. Don’t bother about me.”

“I think you’d better not wait for me this evening. I may be very late and I’ll something to eat from Colonel Yü.”

“Very well.”

He rose.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t try to do anything to-day. You’d better take it easy. Is there anything you want before I go?”

“No, thanks. I shall be quite all right.”

He paused for an instant, as though he were undecided, and then, abruptly and without looking at her, took his hat and walked out of the room. She heard him go through the compound. She felt terribly alone. There was no need for self-restraint now and she gave herself up to a passion of tears.

HE night was sultry and Kitty sat at the window looking at the fantastic roofs, dark against the starlight, of the Chinese temple, when at last Walter came in. Her eyes were heavy with weeping, but she was composed. Notwithstanding all there was to harass her she felt, perhaps only from exhaustion, strangely at peace.

“I thought you’d be already in bed,” said Walter as he came in.

“I wasn’t sleepy. I thought it cooler to sit up. Have you had any dinner?”

“All I want.”

Interesting People: Peter Newell

LITTLE over two yards of concentrated friendliness mixed with shyness. That’s Peter Newell, the Hole Book man.

He may have enemies, but if he has they are ashamed of themselves and never acknowledge their enmity.

Peter Newell has made a reputation all over the English-speaking world by his gifts as a quaint and gentle caricaturist, but to the people in the little New Jersey town in which he lives his simple life, he is “Uncle Peter,” a tried friend and a mighty good citizen.

That his mind is full of quaintness has been proved by his: “Topsies and Turveys,” his “Hole Book,” and his diversified and versified pictures in Harper's, the Saturday Evening Post, and elsewhere.

Years ago, when a young man, he was camping out with some friends in Colorado in a tent. A man had been murdered by a burglar in a jewelry booth or pavilion near by, and the campers were inclined to be nervous.

Newell hit upon an ingenious idea to give the impression that their tent was a good one to steer clear of. He cut out a number of silhouettes of tough characters, in sombreros, and so placed them that the lamp cast their shadows on the sides of the tent. They looked like a wild lot engaged in a game of poker, and when Peter and his friends went out and looked at the effect they decided that they did not need the services of any of Pinkerton's men but could retire with easy minds.

When asked to give some facts in regard to his life Peter Newell somewhat reluctantly said: “Oh, I broke out about the same time as the Civil War did, in a cross roads in the country in MacDonough County, Illinois. The place hadn't any name, but its nickname was ‘Gungiwam.’ Our house was the only frame house in the place (the rest were log huts), and it was clapboarded with walnut. Expensive clapboarding, according to modern ideas.”

Newell left school when he was in the neighborhood of seventeen and entered upon work in a cigar factory. Whether he learned to smoke at the factory or not, he smokes at his work with all the skill of a professional smoker—if there is any such thing.

After he had learned to make cigars that would sell he went to Jacksonville, Illinois, called there by a man who had seen his first attempts with the pencil and who employed him to make crayon enlargements of photographs. A Peter Newell enlargement to-day would cost considerable money, but in those days "Peter Newell” on a picture didn't mean anything, and he no more than made a living out of the work. Probably they gave the pictures away and sold the frame!

When he was about twenty-one he came on to New York and took some lessons at the Art Students’ League, and began sending ideas for pictures for Harper's Magazine. 'These were redrawn by other artists, but after a time Peter contracted the habit of drawing his own pictures, and he has stuck to it ever since. And how Newellian they are!

The art world lost a delightful water colorist when Peter found that he could butter his bread and even build a house by drawing “comics” and illustrating stories and books, but in his few leisure moments (for he is an indefatigable worker) he sometimes goes into the country and gives evidence of a delicate color sense and a poetic mind by his water-color transcriptions of nature.

He married when he was twenty-two and has remained married ever since. A happy and contented family has grown up around him.

He loves to fish, he loves to play tennis, but perhaps he loves best of all to play chess.

If you're looking for Peter Newell after nightfall, don't search New York for him because he won't be there. He'll likely be smoking a pipe or a cigar over a game of chess out in the wilds of New Jersey, at least fifteen miles from the Great White Way—or, to be exact, in Leonia, where his comfortable house has been standing for full fourteen years and where a little colony of illustrators has gathered, all of whom love Peter.

Twice he has crossed the ocean, but he never studied in Europe. He has a remarkably able jackknife, and if he had been born in Nuremburg he would probably be making his living to-day carving strange beasts for the amusement of children.

Over six feet tall, with a whimsical face in the construction of which economy of flesh seems to have been the main point aimed at, with shaggy eyebrows acting as awnings over the kindest blue eyes, and a nose and mouth that suggest his own pictures, Peter Newell believes this is a good world.

If the United States consisted of ninety million Peter Newells it would be a good world.

Perhaps it is anyhow.

 He walked up and down the long room and she saw that he had something to say to her. She knew that he was embarrassed. Without concern she waited for him to summon up his resolution. He began abruptly.

“I’ve been thinking about what you told me this afternoon. It seems to me that it would be better if you went away. I have spoken to Colonel Yü and he will give you an escort. You could take the amah with you. You will be quite safe.”

“Where is there for me to go?”

“You can go to your mother’s.”

“Do you think she would be pleased to see me?”

He paused for a moment, hesitating, as though for reflection.

“Then you can go to Hong-Kong.”

“What should I do there?”

“You will need a good deal of care and attention. I don’t think it’s fair to ask you to stay here.”

She could not prevent the smile, not only of bitterness but of frank amusement, that crossed her face. She gave him a glance and very nearly laughed.

“I don’t know why you should be so anxious about my health.”

He came over to the window and stood looking out at the night. There had never been so many stars in the unclouded sky.

“This isn’t the place for a woman in your condition.”

She looked at him, white in his thin clothes against the darkness; there was something sinister in his

The abode of Ilmarinen;

And the eyes with rheum were dripping

Of the old folks at the windows,

And the young folks’ knees were failing

As about the door they waited,

And the children’s feet were freezing,

By the wall as they were standing,

Mid-aged folks their shoes were spoiling,

As upon the beach they wandered.

And at length upon a morning,

Just about the time of sunrise,

From the wood they heard a rattling,

As the sledge came rushing onward.

Lokka then the kindest hostess,

Kaleva’s most handsome matron,

Uttered then the words which follow:

“’Tis my son’s sledge now approaching,

As from Pohjola he cometh,

And he brings the youthful damsel.

Straight he journeys to this country,

To the homestead hastens onward,

To the house his father gave him,

Which his parents had constructed.”

4 Very hesitatingly the doe moved forward, followed by her fawn, and at last took the lump of sugar from Eepersip's fingers.

Eepersip had not expected this. On the contrary, she had thought that they would be startled and would bound away out of sight in the woods. She gazed silently at the doe, who had begun to graze again without a sign of fear. Could it be a dream? she thought. Eepersip had experienced the delightful sensation of the doe's slightly rough tongue around her fingers; and suddenly, she felt as if she could never leave themas if she must stay always and play with the woods. Already she had become acquainted with a doe and a fawn, and they were not afraid of her! She sat down on the grass, and the fawn lay beside her. She cuddled it close in her arms.

Then it grew dark. The sun was sinking, and at last it went behind a thin, filmy cloud, producing wonderful colours, red, gold, silver, and purple. Like fire it glowed and quivered, and through it all could be seen the ball of the sun, growing clearer as it sank, and growing larger too. And as Eepersip sprang to her feet and watched it glow and quiver, she saw, away of, an enormous range of mountains; and where the mountains left off there was the edge of the ocean, with the light of

Runo XXV]

Therefore thus did Ilmarinen

Hasten forward to the homestead,

To the house his father gave him,

Which his parents had constructed.

Hazel-grouse were twittering blithely

On the collar formed of saplings,

And the cuckoos all were calling,

On the sledge’s sides while sitting,

And the squirrels leaped and frolicked

On the shafts of maple fashioned.

Lokka then the kindest hostess,

Kaleva’s most beauteous matron,

Uttered then the words which follow,

And in words like these expressed her:

“For the new moon waits the village,

And the young await the sunrise,

Children search where grow the berries,

And the water waits the tarred boat;

For no half-moon have I waited,

Nor the sun have I awaited,

But I waited for my brother,

For my brother and step-daughter,

Gazed at morning, gazed at evening,

Knew not what had happened to them,

If a child he had been rearing,

Or a lean one he had fattened,

That he came not any sooner,

Though he faithfully had promised

Soon to turn his footsteps homeward,

Ere defaced had been his footprints.

“Ever gazed I forth at morning,

And throughout the day I pondered,

If my brother was not coming,

Nor his sledge was speeding onward

Swiftly to this little homestead,

To this very narrow dwelling.

Though the horse were but a straw one,

And the sledge were but two runners,

Yet a sledge I still would call it,

And a sledge would still esteem it,

In addition, in the case under paragraph 3, he must be liable for the return of the obtained money, property, or benefit in full.

An administrative order which is unlawful and is not subject to section 51 may be revoked in whole or in part, but the person affected by the said administrative order has the right to be compensated for the damage suffered as a result of the honest belief in the continued existence of the administrative order and the dispositions of section 51, paragraph 1, paragraph 2, and paragraph 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis. However, he must request the compensation within one hundred and eighty days from the time he is notified of the revocation.

The compensation for the damage according to this section must not be higher than the benefit he would have received had the said administrative order not been revoked.

A lawful administrative order which is not beneficial to its recipient may be revoked in whole or in part, either with immediate effect from the time of the revocation or with effect for the future up to any time as may be designated, save where an administrative order of like content would have to be made again or where revocation is not allowable for other reasons. In this respect, regard shall be had to the interest of a third party also.

A lawful administrative order which is beneficial to its recipient may be revoked in whole or in part, either with immediate effect from the time of the revocation or with effect for the future up to any time as may be designated, in the following cases only:

the revocation is allowed by the law or the right of revocation is reserved in the administrative order itself;

the administrative order contains a requirement with which the beneficiary had to comply but failed to comply within the time limit designated;

Rh of gentlemen and ladies who would bear watching! So the party regarded it, and were incensed accordingly. The truth doubtless was, that the same precautions would have been taken against any travelers, because the English Company who have acquired the right to excavate Ephesus, and have paid a great sum for that right, need to be protected, and deserve to be. ‘They can not afford to run the risk of having their hospitality abused by travelers, especially since travelers are such notorious scorners of honest behavior.

We sailed from Smyrna, in the wildest spirit of expectancy, for the chief feature, the grand goal of the expedition, was near at hand—we were approaching the Holy Land! Such a burrowing into the hold for trunks that had lain buried for weeks, yes for months; such a hurrying to and fro above decks and below; such a riotous system of packing and unpacking; such a littering up of the cabins with shirts and skirts, and indescribable and unclassable odds and ends; such a making up of bundles, and setting apart of umbrellas, green spectacles and thick veils; such a critical inspection of saddles and bridles that had never yet touched horses; such a cleaning and loading of revolvers and examining of bowie-knives; such a half-soling of the seats of pantaloons with serviceable buckskin; then such a poring over ancient maps; such a reading up of Bibles and Palestine travels; such a marking out of routes; such exasperating efforts to divide up the company into little bands of congenial spirits who might make the long and arduous journey without quarreling; and morning, noon and night, such mass-meetings in the cabins, such speech-making, such sage suggesting, such worrying and quarreling, and such a general raising of the very mischief, was never seen in the ship before!

But it is all over now. We are cut up into parties of six or eight, and by this time are scattered far and wide. Ours is the only one, however, that is venturing on what is called “the long trip”—that is, out into Syria, by Baalbec to Damascus, and thence down through the full length of Palestine. It would be a tedious, and also a too risky journey, at this hot

432 season of the year, for any but strong, healthy men, accustomed somewhat to fatigue and rough life in the open air. The other parties will take shorter journeys.

For the last two months we have been in a worry about one portion of this Holy Land pilgrimage. I refer to transportation service. We knew very well that Palestine was a country which did not do a large passenger business, and every man we came across who knew any thing about it gave us to understand that not half of our party would be able to get dragomen and animals. At Constantinople every body fell to telegraphing the American Consuls at Alexandria and Beirout to give notice that we wanted dragomen and transportation. We were desperate—would take horses, jackasses, cameleopards, kangaroos—any thing. At Smyrna, more telegraphing was done, to the same end. Also, fearing for the worst, we telegraphed for a large number of seats in the diligence for Damascus, and horses for the ruins of Baalbec.

As might have been expected, a notion got abroad in Syria and Egypt that the whole population of the Province of America (the Turks consider us a trifling little province in some unvisited corner of the world,) were coming to the Holy Land—and so, when we got to Beirout yesterday, we found the place full of dragomen and their outfits. We had all intended to go by diligence to Damascus, and switch off to Baalbec as we went along—because we expected to rejoin the ship, go to Mount Carmel, and take to the woods from there. However, when our own private party of eight found that it was possible, and proper enough, to make the “long trip,” we adopted that programme. We have never been much trouble to a Consul before, but we have been a fearful nuisance to our Consul at Beirout. I mention this because I can not help admiring his patience, his industry, and his accommodating spirit. I mention it also, because I think some of our ship’s company did not give him as full credit for his excellent services as he deserved.

Well, out of our eight, three were selected to attend to all business connected with the expedition. The rest of us had

Rh nothing to do but look at the beautiful city of Beirout, with its bright, new houses nestled among a wilderness of green shrubbery spread abroad over an upland that sloped gently down to the sea; and also at the mountains of Lebanon that environ it; and likewise to bathe in the transparent blue water that rolled its billows about the ship (we did not know there were sharks there.) We had also to range up and down through the town and look at the costumes. These are picturesque and fanciful, but not so varied as at Constantinople and Smyrna; the women of Beirout add an agony—in the two former cities the sex wear a thin veil which one can see through (and they often expose their ancles,) but at Beirout they cover their entire faces with dark-colored or black veils, so that they look like mummies, and then expose their breasts to the public. A young gentleman (I believe he was a Greek,) volunteered to show us around the city, and said it would afford him great pleasure, because he was studying English and wanted practice in that language. When we had finished the rounds, however, he called for remuneration—said he hoped the gentlemen would give him a trifle in the way of a few piastres (equivalent to a few five cent pieces.) We did so. The Consul was surprised when he heard it, and said he knew the young fellow’s family very well, and that they were an old and highly respectable family and worth a hundred and fifty thousand dollars! Some people, so situated, would have been ashamed of the berth he had with us and his manner of crawling into it.

At the appointed time our business committee reported, and said all things were in readiness—that we were to start to-day, with horses, pack animals, and tents, and go to Baalbec, Damascus, the Sea of Tiberias, and thence southward by the way of the scene of Jacob’s Dream and other notable Bible localities to Jerusalem—from thence probably to the Dead Sea, but possibly not—and then strike for the ocean and rejoin the ship three or four weeks hence at Joppa; terms, five dollars a day apiece, in gold, and every thing to be furnished by the dragoman. They said we would live as well as at a hotel. I had read something like that before, and did not shame my judg-

I also took along a towel and a cake of soap, to inspire respect in the Arabs, who would take me for a king in disguise.

We were to select our horses at 3 At that hour Abraham, the dragoman, marshaled them before us. With all solemnity I set it down here, that those horses were the hardest lot I ever did come across, and their accoutrements were in exquisite keeping with their style. One brute had an eye out; another had his tail sawed off close, like a rabbit, and was proud of it; another had a bony ridge running from his neck to his tail, like one of those ruined aqueducts one sees about Rome, and had a neck on him like a bowsprit; they all limped, and had sore backs, and likewise raw places and old scales scattered about their persons like brass nails in a hair trunk; their gaits were marvelous to contemplate, and replete with variety—under way the procession looked like a fleet in a storm. It was fearful. Blucher shook his head and said:

Rh “That dragon is going to get himself into trouble fetching these old crates out of the hospital the way they are, unless he has got a permit.”

I said nothing. The display was exactly according to the guide-book, and were we not traveling by the guide-book? I selected a certain horse because I thought I saw him shy, and I thought that a horse that had spirit enough to shy was not to be despised.

At 6 o’clock, we came to a halt here on the breezy summit of a shapely mountain overlooking the sea, and the handsome valley where dwelt some of those enterprising Phœnicians of ancient times we read so much about; all around us are what were once the dominions of Hiram, King of Tyre, who furnished timber from the cedars of these LabanonLebanon [sic] hills to build portions of King Solomon’s Temple with.

Shortly after six, our pack train arrived. I had not seen it before, and a good right I had to be astonished. We had nineteen serving men and twenty-six pack mules! It was a perfect caravan. It looked like one, too, as it wound among the rocks. I wondered what in the very mischief we wanted with such a vast turn-out as that, for eight men. I wondered awhile, but soon I began to long for a tin plate, and some bacon and beans. I had camped out many and many a time before, and knew just what was coming. I went off, without waiting for serving men, and unsaddled my horse, and washed such portions of his ribs and his spine as projected through his hide, and when I came back, behold five stately circus tents were up—tents that were brilliant, within, with blue, and gold, and crimson, and all manner of splendid adornment! I was speechless. Then they brought eight little iron bedsteads, and set them up in the tents; they put a soft mattress and pillows and good blankets and two snow-white sheets on each bed. Next, they rigged a table about the centre-pole, and on it placed pewter pitchers, basins, soap, and the whitest of towels—one set for each man; they pointed to pockets in the tent, and said we could put our small trifles in them for convenience, and if we needed pins or such things, they were sticking every

UNCLASSIFIED TOP SECRET////NOFORN Other accounts suggest detainees were water doused while placed on a waterboard. Although CIA Headquarters approved the use of the "water dousing" interrogation technique on several detainees, interrogators used it extensively on a number of detainees without seeking or obtaining prior authorization from CIA Headquarters.

( TS////NF ) In interrogation sessions on April 5, 2003, and April 6, 2003, senior CIA interrogator and another interrogator used the water dousing technique on detainee Mustafa al-Hawsawi at DETENTION SITE COBALT. Al-Hawsawi later described the session to a different CIA interrogator, who wrote that al-Hawsawi might have been waterboarded or subjected to treatment that "could be indistinguishable from the waterboard." An email from the interrogator stated that:

 * "We did not prompt al-Hawsawi - he described the process and the table on his own. As you know, I have serious reservations about watering them in a prone position because if not done with care, the net effect can approach the effect of the water board. If one is held down on his back, on the table or on the floor, with water poured in his face I think it goes beyond dousing and the effect, to the recipient, could be indistinguishable from the water board.

 * I have real problems with putting one of them on the water board for 'dousing.' Putting him in a head down attitude and pouring water around his chest and face is just too close to the water board, and if it is continued may lead to problems for us."

( TS////NF ) Several months later, the incident was referred to the CIA inspector general for investigation. A December 6, 2006, inspector general report summarized the findings of this investigation, indicating that water was poured on al-Hawsawi while he was lying on the floor in a prone position, which, in the opinion of at least one CIA interrogatorquoted in the report, "can easily approximate waterboarding." The OIG could not corroborate whether al-Hawsawi was strapped to the waterboard when he was interrogated at DETENTION SITE COBALT. Both of the interrogators who subjected al-Hawsawi to the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques on April 6, 2003, said that al-Hawsawi cried out for God while the TOP SECRET////NOFORN Page 106 of 499

It grew dark, and they put candles on the tables—candles set in bright, new, brazen candlesticks. And soon the bell—a genuine, simon-pure bell—rang, and we were invited to “the saloon.” I had thought before that we had a tent or so too many, but now here was one, at least, provided for; it was to be used for nothing but an eating-saloon. Like the others, it was high enough for a family of giraffes to live in, and was very handsome and clean and bright-colored within. It was a gem of a place. A table for eight, and eight canvas chairs; a table-cloth and napkins whose whiteness and whose fineness laughed to scorn the things we were used to in the great excursion steamer; knives and forks, soup-plates, dinner-plates—every thing, in the handsomest kind of style. It was wonderful! And they call this camping out. Those stately fellows in baggy trowsers and turbaned fezzes brought in a dinner which consisted of roast mutton, roast chicken, roast goose,

It is midnight, now, and we break camp at six in the morning.

They call this camping out. At this rate it is a glorious privilege to be a pilgrim to the Holy Land.

If it homeward brought my brother,

And another fair one with him.

“Thus throughout my life I wished it,

This throughout the day I looked for,

Till my head bowed down with gazing,

And my hair bulged up in ridges,

And my bright eyes were contracted,

Hoping for my brother’s coming

Swiftly to this little household,

To this very narrow dwelling,

And at length my son is coming,

And in truth is coming swiftly,

With a lovely form beside him,

And a rose-cheeked girl beside him.

“Bridegroom, O my dearest brother,

Now the white-front horse unharness,

Do thou lead the noble courser

To his own familiar pasture,

To the oats but lately garnered;

Then bestow thy greetings on us,

Greet us here, and greet the others,

All the people of the village.

“When thou hast bestowed thy greetings,

Thou must tell us all thy story.

Did thy journey lack adventures,

Hadst thou health upon thy journey,

To thy mother-in-law when faring,

To thy father-in-law’s dear homestead,

There to woo and win the maiden,

Beating down the gates of battle,

And the maiden’s castle storming,

Breaking down the walls uplifted,

Stepping on her mother’s threshold,

Sitting at her father’s table?

“But I see without my asking,

And perceive without inquiry,

He has prospered on his journey,

With his journey well contented.

He has wooed and won the gosling,

Beaten down the gates of battle,

E are camped near Temnin-el-Foka—a name which the boys have simplified a good deal, for the sake of convenience in spelling. They call it Jacksonville. It sounds a little strangely, here in the Valley of Lebanon, but it has the merit of being easier to remember than the Arabic name.

I slept very soundly last night, yet when the dragoman’s bell rang at half-past five this morning and the cry went abroad of “Ten minutes to dress for breakfast!” I heard both. It surprised me, because I have not heard the breakfast gong in the ship for a month, and whenever we have had occasion to fire a salute at daylight, I have only found it out in the course of conversation afterward. However, camping out, even though it be in a gorgeous tent, makes one fresh and lively in the morning—especially if the air you are breathing is the cool, fresh air of the mountains.

I was dressed within the ten minutes, and came out. The saloon tent had been stripped of its sides, and had nothing left but its roof; so when we sat down to table we could look out over a noble panorama of mountain, sea and hazy valley. And sitting thus, the sun rose slowly up and suffused the picture with a world of rich coloring.

Broken down the boarded castle,

And the walls of linden shattered,

When her mother’s house he entered,

And her father’s home he entered.

In his care is now the duckling,

In his arms behold the dovekin,

At his side the modest damsel,

Shining in her radiant beauty.

“Who has brought the lie unto us,

And the ill report invented,

That the bridegroom came back lonely,

And his horse had sped for nothing?

For the bridegroom comes not lonely,

Nor his horse has sped for nothing;

Perhaps the horse has brought back something,

For his white mane he is shaking,

For the noble horse is sweating,

And the foal with foam is whitened,

From his journey with the dovekin.

When he drew the blushing damsel.

“In the sledge stand up, O fair one,

On its floor, O gift most noble,

Do thou raise thyself unaided,

And do thou arise unlifted,

If the young man tries to lift thee,

And the proud one seeks to raise thee.

“From the sledge do thou upraise thee,

From the sledge do thou release thee,

Walk upon this flowery pathway,

On the path of liver-colour,

Which the swine have trod quite even,

And the hogs have trampled level,

Over which have passed the lambkins,

And the horses’ manes swept over.

“Step thou with the step of gosling,

Strut thou with the feet of duckling,

In the yard that’s washed so cleanly,

On the smooth and level grassplot,

Where the father rules the household,

And the mother holds dominion,

Rh Hot mutton chops, fried chicken, omelettes, fried potatoes and coffee—all excellent. This was the bill of fare. It was sauced with a savage appetite purchased by hard riding the day before, and refreshing sleep in a pure atmosphere. As I called for a second cup of coffee, I glanced over my shoulder, and behold our white village was gone—the splendid tents had vanished like magic! It was wonderful how quickly those Arabs had “folded their tents;” and it was wonderful, also, how quickly they had gathered the thousand odds and ends of the camp together and disappeared with them.

By half-past six we were under way, and all the Syrian world seemed to be under way also. The road was filled with mule trains and long processions of camels. This reminds me that we have been trying for some time to think what a camel looks like, and now we have made it out. When he is down on all his knees, flat on his breast to receive his load, he looks something like a goose swimming; and when he is upright he looks like an ostrich with an extra set of legs. Camels are not beautiful, and their long under lip gives them an exceedingly “gallus” expression. They have immense, flat, forked cushions of feet, that make a track in the dust like a pie with a slice cut out of it. They are not particular about their diet. They would eat a tombstone if they could bite it. A thistle grows about here which has needles on it that would pierce through leather, I think; if one touches you, you can find relief in nothing but profanity. The camels eat these. They show by their actions that they enjoy them. I suppose it would be a real treat to a camel to have a keg of nails for supper.

While I am speaking of animals, I will mention that I have a horse now by the name of “Jericho.” He is a mare. I have seen remarkable horses before, but none so remarkable as this. I wanted a horse that could shy, and this one fills the bill. I

And the sister’s blue-flowered meadow.

“Set thy foot upon the threshold,

Then upon the porch’s flooring,

On the honeyed floor advance thou,

Next the inner rooms to enter,

Underneath these famous rafters,

Underneath this roof so lovely.

“It was in this very winter,

In the summer just passed over,

Sang the floor composed of duckbones,

That thyself should stand upon it,

And the golden roof resounded

That thou soon should’st walk beneath it,

And the windows were rejoicing,

For thy sitting at the windows.

“It was in this very winter,

In the summer just passed over,

Often rattled the door-handles,

For the ringed hands that should close them,

And the stairs were likewise creaking

For the fair one robed so grandly,

And the doors stood always open,

And their opener thus awaited.

“It was in this very winter,

In the summer just passed over,

That the room around has turned it,

Unto those the room who dusted,

And the hall has made it ready

For the sweepers, when they swept it,

And the very barns were chirping

To the sweepers as they swept them.

“It was in this very winter,

In the summer just passed over,

That the yard in secret turned it

To the gatherer of the splinters,

And the storehouses bowed downward,

For the wanderer who should enter,

Rafters bowed, and beams bent downward

To receive the young wife’s wardrobe.

440 had an idea that shying indicated spirit. If I was correct, I have got the most spirited horse on earth. He shies at every thing he comes across, with the utmost impartiality. He appears to have a mortal dread of telegraph poles, especially; and it is fortunate that these are on both sides of the road, because as it is now, I never fall off twice in succession on the same side. If I fell on the same side always, it would get to be monotonous after a while. This creature has scared at every thing he has seen to-day, except a haystack. He walked up to that with an intrepidity and a recklessness that were astonishing. And it would fill any one with admiration to see how he preserves his self-possession in the presence of a barley sack. This dare-devil bravery will be the death of this horse some day.

He is not particularly fast, but I think he will get me through the Holy Land. He has only one fault. His tail has been chopped off or else he has sat down on it too hard, some time or other, and he has to fight the flies with his heels. This is all very well, but when he tries to kick a fly off the top of his head with his hind foot, it is too much variety. He is going to get himself into trouble that way some day. He reaches around and bites my legs too. I do not care particularly about that, only I do not like to see a horse too sociable.

I think the owner of this prize had a wrong opinion about him. He had an idea that he was one of those fiery, untamed steeds, but he is not of that character. I know the Arab had

Sire:

Although the duties and obligations of my office are ended, I have no less obligation as a private individual for the service of God and your Majesty. That service and recognition is due while life shall last, and therefore it does not seem as if I were fulfilling my duty by keeping silent and not informing your Majesty of some things which have been proposed and set forth elsewhere. I beseech your Majesty to be pleased to regard and consider them as things very important to the service of God and of your Majesty.

What I have thought fit to submit particularly to your Majesty are the injuries, hindrances, contradictions, and great disturbances which are experienced here, whence follow results very offensive and contrary to the service of God our Lord, and of your Majesty. They are also prejudicial to the common spiritual and temporal good of this land, and the quiet, safety, and preservation of these districts and islands, and of the vassals who live and serve your Majesty here. One (and a general) injury is the unrestricted presence of a great number of Sangleys or Chinese heathen who live and mingle freely with

 us and the natives of these islands in their trading occupations, and business. They serve but to consume, make scarce, and enhance the price of both supplies and money, and to cause uneasiness, fears, and distrust. Of all the aforesaid we have had experience, and the particular instances are not referred to, in order to avoid prolixity. On occasions when there are expeditions, or when it may be expedient to make them, there are some persons who do not desire to do so—either for their own interests or convenience, or for other considerations, ends, and motives which they have for opposing the accomplishment of the expedition. They say that there are many Sangleys in the land who are inclined or are able to revolt. This and other things they say in excuse; but although this consideration and caution should not be condemned but praised, together with everything else which may be classed under the name and title of preservation, I doubt whether they are always most advantageous to the service of God and of your Majesty. I am only certain that it is of great importance to be rid of these disturbances and contradictions, which are contrary to all good. These heathen are the whole year living on, and, little by little, consuming and obtaining, the goods and money of the state in their traffic, business, and occupations. This does not take into account the sale and profitable trade in merchandise which takes place every year. All the money goes and passes to China, and remains there from year to year and in fact always. Although it is true that the profitable trade and sale of merchandise is the sinew and support of this state, and very necessary, and cannot nor should be checked, nevertheless, it would at least be fitting for the Chris-

 tians to gain what is gained by the heathen from year to year in these islands and state, in their damaging trades and occupations. Thus would a great part of the poverty and necessity of the Christians be done away with, and they would be relieved, maintained, and aided. They could live more comfortably, and there would be avoided the inconveniences of discontent, murmuring, and offense, which exist when the people see themselves so little favored, helped, and appreciated. They become discouraged with the condition of affairs when they see that the heathen are much more favored and treated more kindly by us than they themselves, solely for the advantage arising from what they give, and greed for it. They carry on their pretensions and business with us while we ourselves fail in many respects to give an example of Christian charity which should be observed, and to show the zeal and consideration which is due to the service of God our Lord and the common good. The evils which may result from trading are very common, and these heathen secure many things which they desire, and obtain by means of payment and reward. In doing this, although they are exceedingly avaricious, yet in behalf of their vices, unchastity, and abominations, and for their wishes and desires, for the sake of gain and profit, they do not stop at trifles; nor are they stingy and careless, but open-handed and generous, and endeavor and negotiate in a thousand ways to procure what they purpose and desire. The Spaniards themselves favor, intercede and negotiate for them for the sake of their own private interest and their gain in doing so. This manner of carrying on affairs has been continued until they are now accustomed to it and perhaps confident therein because


text:
Page:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 09).pdf/324

 of their experience in conducting business in this way. In addition to this, there has been negligence and laxity in enforcing decrees in their cases, thereby causing the heathen to hold the orders given them in but little estimation, and with good reason to mock and jest, and make sport of our mode of government and our decrees. It is almost impossible, or exceedingly difficult, to enforce or execute the latter, or to remedy the very great inconveniences which result and are caused by these heathen, because of the many defenders whom they have and find for their pretensions. Two things in regard to these people are most worthy of consideration. One is that, as these people mingle so freely and at large among the natives in these islands for their trading and business, they can very easily under this pretext and appearance with all safety, security, and freedom, investigate and note the ports, islands, and settlements; they can also see how careless and negligent the forces have become, and can observe the lack of troops, forces, and defense from which we suffer. Thus they may dare to interfere, and can bring to these islands any enemy or enemies whatsoever, who are covetous of the islands; or they may plan some alliance and deviltry with the natives. The latter being aggrieved, querulous, and dissatisfied can be moved by their persuasions, or inclined and persuaded toward their traffic, modes, and customs of more gain, comfort, and liberty, with less subjection, oppression, and ill-treatment, than are suffered and received by many. Consequently, there is no little cause, disposition, and opportunity for any evil whatsoever, since we are so confident and these Sangleys are a people very covetous, cunning, and treacherous—as has been experienced in the mutiny

 and which destroys, corrupts, perverts, and hinders everything; this it is that jeopardizes and has, perhaps, embarrassed, checked, diminished, and restricted the service of God and of your Majesty, and the welfare, honor, and prosperity of your vassals in this land. Thereby have been retarded in this new world the good and fruitful spiritual and temporal results which would, perhaps, have been realized ere this, were the desire for money less, and the love, zeal, and desire for the service and glory of our Lord greater. There should be more interest in the common good and less self-interest, which is the loss, impediment, and ruin of everything. Indeed, this greed and covetousness is the knot, tie, and strong bond between us and this nation, so different, injurious, and contrary to our own, as experience and past events have shown. It is an expedient of the devil that this people shall obtain all or nearly all that they want. As their communication, presence, and trade is so prejudicial, and as from it and their interest and greed result so many common evils and great sins, abominations, and offenses to our Lord, it seems as if His Divine Majesty were taking a hand in this and punishing the offenses of those who are in this land, as also our neglect of correcting them, and our lack of zeal for His honor and service—both by our great loss of property, and by this nation, and the injuries that we have received from them, and our mishaps with them, since thus we lay ourselves open and deserve to be punished. It seems that He punishes them too with us, by the injuries, afflictions, and annoyances that they suffer. And thus His Divine Majesty is punishing both nations. For except for self-interest as a medium, we are mutually contrary and hateful.

 [The rest of the letter is badly torn, but a sufficient amount remains for the general meaning to be discovered. The writer calls for the expulsion of the Sangleys so far as this is possible. The city desires them to remain only from avarice, desiring the rents from their shops, and the profits arising from their business. The Sangleys have corrupted some of the most illustrious persons in the country. Severity is requisite.]

June 28, 1597.

First, it is meet that the governor order, with all care and exactness, an investigation and exact and unexaggerated calculation to be made of the number of Sangleys who are needed in the ordinary and necessary occupations for the service of the commonwealth, in this city of Manila, and in Cagayan and Cibu. This done, it should be ordered and brought about that the Christians occupy and serve in those occupations which they understand and formerly filled. Thus it will follow that fewer heathen will serve in these occupations; and that the Christians will profit thereby, and will be occupied and provided for, and many other difficulties and injuries would thus cease. And then, having diminished the number of Christians who understand and can be used in occupations, and having left, as is necessary to the service of the commonwealth the required number of heathen, who are not imprudent or gamblers (for there are many who are too dangerous and cunning to be permitted to remain), all the other heathen Sangleys of these islands should be collected, put on vessels, and sent


text:
Page:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 09).pdf/329

 back to their own lands, with great care, rigor, and despatch. This diligence should last until this country is cleansed and freed from people so injurious to it.

But I must also say, in order to relieve my conscience, that the person to whom this business and the execution thereof is entrusted should be worthy of the greatest confidence, and as good a Christian as can be found. He should claim no temporal interests, but look only to the service of God our Lord, and that of your Majesty, and to the common welfare of this land. If he be not such a one, no better opportunity could be imagined for large thefts and substantial bribes, involving thousands of pesos, thus failing to provide the relief which is meet and due.

Item: That every year, as some Sangleys are converted and made Christians, care be taken that they be given occupation, and an equal number of heathen who have hitherto filled positions be expelled.

Item: That in the trading-ships which come every year, it be not permitted to bring more than the sailors necessary for the care of the vessels (according to the capacity and tonnage of the ship), and the merchants who come with their property. The latter must return to their land that same year after the sale of their goods, and must not remain in the country; nor shall they be permitted to do so for any reason whatever. The ship shall return with all the persons whom it brought, together with those who came before and had remained in the country.

Item: In no case shall license or permission be given for heathen Sangleys to carry on trade and contracts, sales, and business in these islands and at large among the natives. The Christians, however, shall

 than twenty-four thousand persons were said to have come. Thirteen thousand were sent away from the country, and the number would have been greater if the ships from Castilla had arrived, thus supplying means for deporting more. These people come to these islands and settlements, and trade very freely with the natives, who are naturally weak and covetous; and, too, they remain constantly with us. Many of them live and sleep within the city and in the houses of the Spaniards, whose wives, children, men and women servants—and of these last, not a few—are there also. Even if there were no more evils and opportunity for wrong than for these women and children to be eyewitnesses of what happens in houses where there are people so vile, bold, vicious, and shameless—who are, although generous, covetous, cunning, and treacherous—these alone are sufficient evils and causes for Spaniards not to permit the Sangleys, or consent, as they do, to their staying in their houses. This they allow on account of the gain, rent, and payments given them, and for greater convenience and shortening of their own labors. Consequently, these people are not separated on account of their aforesaid customs, nor of the danger and opportunity offered them for connivance and knavery. They could burn the city in a night; and should they rise, they could before the blow was felt kill with their weapons many of the persons who keep and permit them to stay in their own houses, finding them asleep and unaware; and they know very well how to do it, to our cost and injury. But neither this injurious and painful experience, nor all the aforesaid dangers, are sufficient to check or remedy this grave evil. It is greed which is the road and means of perdition,

 on a ship and the killing of the Spaniards who were on their way to the province of Cagayan, a few days ago. There was also the rebellion of Cayalera, so costly, severe, and injurious, and which hindered so greatly the service of God and of your Majesty, which was to have been accomplished. There was afterward the case of another ship of Portuguese and religious, which was bound for Malaca; and now this year, but a few days ago, a ship, with about thirty Spaniards aboard, was going to the island of Mindanao. Many were killed, and the few who escaped were wounded and injured. The second point is that, in addition to what has been said about this nation, they have unchaste, shameless, and abominable ways of life and customs. Besides having enough proof and experience to be able to say this, I certify to the truth of having heard this from a religious—a man very zealous in the service of our Lord and a minister who has charge of the Sangleys at present. The Christian Sangleys who had acquired sufficient knowledge and experience before conversion, tell of the habits, customs, and mode of life of the heathen. Those who were born, or reared from childhood, in these islands have heard and noted this. They say that they would dare to certify or swear that at a certain age all, from the sons of great mandarins down to the lowest class, are guilty of one vile and abominable sin. There is a wicked rumor here that even their king himself is no exception. That this evil exists among this people, is not only declared, but it is a thing which has been proved, and investigated on complaint, and has at times been punished by justice. This is the case, Sire, and the number of infidels here is very great; for in the past year, ninety-six, more


text:
Page:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 09).pdf/330

 be allowed such occupation for their convenience and greater safety, and in order to avoid many distrusts, dangers, and troubles.

Item: No Sangley who is not a Christian should be allowed to go inland more than two leguas from the city, or remain or trade in the settlements of the natives, especially those of Christians, under a severe penalty for doing so, and one much greater to the magistrate who should consent thereto.

Item: It is meet that the religious do not keep or aid heathen Sangleys, in their convents and districts, by giving them advantages and employments; for these may be accomplished by the natives, without employing the Sangleys, thus avoiding no few inconveniences, as can be seen and understood. It is scarcely less (and perhaps even more) to the service of our Lord that these works be postponed somewhat, or that some of them which are less urgent be abandoned; as it is not meet that for neatness or greater excellence in the work, the Sangleys live as they do at present.

Item: That to no heathen Sangley should be given license to make rice-wine as so much of this is consumed. If license be granted it should be to some poor Christians, in order to aid and relieve their necessity.

Item: It is of great importance that neither consent nor permission be given to any Sangleys to enjoy or exercise any occupation whatever, outside of the parian and the public place assigned to them and to the service of the state. They should not be allowed either to live and remain during the day, or to sleep at night, in the city, in any convent or in any house of any citizen of whatsoever rank, under a

 heavy penalty. Upon the citizen who should consent to and conceal this act, it is meet that a greater penalty be imposed and executed. It would even be proper to add to the penalty incurred by him in person and estate the penalty for treason to the service of your Majesty, and to punish the guilty person as a traitor. Thus would this evil be corrected and remedied; for it is a pity, sorrow, and shame, that it should exist and be permitted for the aforesaid causes and reasons. Consequently, it is meet that the penalty be executed with more severity on the citizens, since—as they are responsible for the greatest injury, and are most to blame—from them must emanate the remedy, which consists of applying severity and chastisement.
