FOOTNOTES:
[1] This English form of the name, adopted in the 10th ed. of the
_Ency. Brit._, from the German, appears preferable both to the
un-English Kamerun and to the older and clumsy "the Cameroons."

a belated annexation mission.
CAMILING, a town of the province of Tarlac, Luzon, Philippine Islands,
on the Camiling river, about 80 m. N.N.W. of Manila. Pop. (1903) 25,243.
In 1903 after the census had been taken, the adjacent towns of Santa
Ignacia (pop. 1911) and San Clemente (pop. 1822) were annexed to
Camiling. Its products are rice, Indian corn and sugar. Fine timber
grows in the vicinity. The principal language is Ilocano; Pangasinan,
too, is spoken. Being in an isolated position, very difficult of access
during the rainy season, Camiling has always been infested with thieves
and bands of outlaws, who come here for concealment.
CAMILLUS, MARCUS FURIUS, Roman soldier and statesman, of patrician
descent, censor in 403 B.C. He triumphed four times, was five times
dictator, and was honoured with the title of Second Founder of Rome.
When accused of having unfairly distributed the spoil taken at Veii,
which was captured by him after a ten years' siege, he went into
voluntary exile at Ardea. The real cause of complaint against him was no
doubt his patrician haughtiness and his triumphal entry into Rome in a
chariot drawn by white horses. Subsequently the Romans, when besieged in
the Capitol by the Gauls, created him dictator; he completely defeated
the enemy (but see BRENNUS and ROME: _History_, ii., "The Republic") and
drove them from Roman territory. He dissuaded the Romans, disheartened
by the devastation wrought by the Gauls, from migrating to Veii, and
induced them to rebuild the city. He afterwards fought successfully
against the Aequi, Volsci and Etruscans, and repelled a fresh invasion
of the Gauls
