From land or sea, Cadiz is a study
in white, for every house in the city
receives a coating of whitewash an
nually. The majestic cathedral is Wis
ible from long distance off the coast.
One of the most daring Of brakes ex-
ploits was sailing into the harbor Of
Cadiz and destroying the shipping
there. The town was wantonly pill
laged by the British in 1896. Twice
since then, however, their expeditions
were driven off. Nelson bombarded the
place in 1900, and eight years later Col
lingwood shut the French fleet up in
the harbor until it surrendered. Cadiz
stood two years siege by Marshal
Victor, but was reduced by the French
in 1923. Its present population Is near
ly 100000.
Spain's largest docks are at Carta-
gena on the Mediterranean. They are
in easy reach of shells from a fleet that
could Withstand the fire of the land
batteries. Twelve-inch guns of the
most approved type on disappearing
carriages are mounted here, and alto
gether, the defenses should be able to
make it decidedly uncomfortable for an
enemy. Cartagena has a fine natural
harbor.

native cannot kill his own hog or buff

which, of course, must be paid for. He
is not allowed to press out pint of
cocoanut oil from the fruit of his own
orchard until he has obtained license,
and this also has it's price. The or
chard itself is taxed; everything is
taxed in the Philippines.
The resident Chinese are further sub

and are treated with the most shame

sage is a strait two miles long between
high bluffs from which it is command
ed by forts Palma and San Felipe.
Torpedoes can be planted at the short
est notice and would make the strait
impossible. Ferrol was not fortified
until 1852. 1t successfully resisted the
English in 1893, but was obliged to sur
render to them in 1906 upon the defeat
of the French fleet in front of it. The
French captured the place in 1923, but
only by means Of a months blockade.
Historic Cadiz is the most elaborate
ly fortified of the three naval stations,
but the city itself lies directly exposed
to an attack from the sea,-like, for in
stance, our own city of Portland, Me.
The navy yard is five miles back from
the ocean. 1t has all facilities for build
ing and repairing warships. The ar
mored cruiser Carlos "" was built
at the Cadiz yard and also the "Prin.
cessa de Asturias." A large factory for
guns Is situated here. Much of the
glory of Cadiz has departed, but it |
must still be ranked as one Of the finest |
cities in Spain. 1t Is surrounded by a !
wall that is nearly seven miles in |
length, and stands on the tip of a |
tongue Of land extending five miles into |
the sea from the Isle de Leon. This
strip of land, with the mainland, forms
two bays. The outer bay is more than

consumed in a day without exciting
much comment. A fire in the business
portion, however, arouses more inter
est; it affords opportunities that are
not to be neglected. On one such occa-
sion, where the scene of conf1agration
was a quarter chiefly occupied by Chi
nese shops, the street was soon
thronged with an eager mob. The poor
Cinnamon, acting much like crazed cat
tie, had fled into their upper chambers
and locked the doors, apparently pre-
ferring death by fire to the treatment
they were likely to receive outside. But
there was no escape. The "rescuers''-
Spanish soldiers-quickly broke in with
axes, and after emptying the money
boxes hurled the wretched Mongolians
and all their goods into the street to
be dealt with at discretion. It was a
mere pretext for robbery and outrage,
as many of the shops were remote from
the fire and in moo danger. The next
