Note 10 — Chapter XXIII · Corrigenda
Reading edition
“You see our Census of 1903 gave the population of the Philippines at about 7,600,000 of which 7,000,000 are put down as civilized Christians; and of the remaining 600,000 about half are the savage, or semi-civilized, crudely Mohammedan Moros, in Mindanao, and the adjacent islets down near Borneo. The other 300,000 or so uncivilized people scattered throughout the rest of the archipelago, the ‘non-Christian tribes,’ which dwell in the mountain fastnesses, remote from ‘the madding crowd,’ cut little more figure, if any, in the general political equation, than the American Indian does with us to-day.”10
