districts in the island. There are also in
these lowlands a number of extensive Ia
goons, such as that of Candava To the west
of the fiat region the country rises into the
considerable Cordillera de Zamblles which
contains number of peaks 5000 or coo
feet high and terminates northward in a
great peninsula forming the Gulf OF Lingay-

(Sferra de Mariveles) which helps to form
the Bay Of Manila.
To the east and south of this bay the gen.

mountainous, but the large area of $50
square miles is occupied by the Laguna de
Bay, connected with Manila by the Pasig

company, with which it combines, it
has the monopoly of the freight and
passenger travel and charges the high
est rates. The railroad between Val
raraisO and Santiago, a little over 100
miles, was built by an American, Henry
MeiggS, who constructed also many
other roads in Peru. Meiggs came first
to Chile from California.
His partner there had ruined him
financially, and he ran away to avoid
arrest, owing some $40, 600. He arrived
in Peru almost pennileSS, but got the
contract for this road by Offering to
build it for about half the amount ask
ed by some English engineers. He
made money out of it, and from that
time he became one Of the greatest con-
tractors south of the isthmus. He built
other reads and made fortunes out of
them. He then went to Chile and there
contracted for works which cost tens
of millions of dollars. He built the
famous Oroya road up the Andes, back
of Lima, which is the steepest, and l
doubt not the costliest, road ever built,
and when he died he was putting a
tunnel into the mountain of Cerro de
Pasco to strike and drain the great
silver deposit there. Meiggs was I'M
doubtedly an able man, but whether
he was an honest man or not l have
not been able to determine. His friends
say he was, and they state that out
Of his first earnings in Chile he sent
back to California the $4,000 for which
he was indebted. Others say he was
tricky, and in this connection l was
told today of a lottery scheme which
ii is asserted he worked TO his profit.
We were walking along the Alameda
and admiring the great palaces in
which tho nabobs of this city live, when
my friend said:
do you see that house there on the
corner?'
YES" said l. 'It must have cost
fortune to build it?''
'It did, was the reply. THAT house
belonged to Henry Meiggs. He built
two magnificent palaces in Santiago,
and in doing so spent, venture, more
than half a million dollars. He sold
them, however, when times were hard
for more than their cost"
"How did he do it?''
"He did it by a lottery scheme in
which there were 700, 900 tickets offered
for sale at a dollar apiece. The only
prizes were that house and the other,
which is further down the street. Well,
only COG, 900 tickets were sold. and when
the drawing was made it was found
that the numbers of the prizes were
left among the 100000 unsold blanks.
So. you see, Meiggs got his $500, 900 and
held on to his houses. The people were
mad, but nothing was done"

Although there are over 1,400 of the Philip
pine islands, only two of them, Luzon and
Mindan2o, are of large size or thickly popu-
lated. Luzon, the major island of the south
ern group has an area of 40 S5 square miles
and is very rich in both an agricultural and
q mineral sense. The general characterictics
of its climate are tropical. 1t is in the region
of typhoons and has three seasons cold,
hot and wet. The first extends from
November to February or March. The winds
are northerly, and, though there is no need
for fire, wooden garments can be worn with
comfort in the morning The hot season lasts
from March to June, and the heat becomes
very oppressive before the beginning of the
sOutherly monsoon. Thunderstorms, often of
terrific violence, are of frequent occurrence
in May and June. The wet weather is usually
ushered in by the heavy rains locally known
as 'collas. During July, August, September
and October the rain comes down in torrents
and large tracts of the lower country are
flooded.

medlars and most of the Malayan fruits are
to be met with. Rice is the staple food OF
the natives, but though it is extensively cul-
tivated, the supply is not always equal to the
demand Sweet potatoes, peas, potatoes and
even wheat are extensively grown. The
plants which are of primary commercial i'm
portance are tobacco, Manila>>hemp sugar
cane, coffee and cocoa.

the largest city in the Philippines its pres

From the mountains of Balar two ranges
b1urcate and stretch northward-the Sierra

Between these ranges lies the basin of the
Rio Grande de Cagayan, which forms the
largest river system in the whole archipelago.
On the western slopes of the Sierra Occi-

SANTIAGO Chile, Aug. 90 have
just received letters and papers from
Buenos Ayres showing the intense
hatred the Spanish there feel for the
United States. It is bad enough here,
but there it is worse. The Argentine
Republic contains more Spaniards
than any other country outside of
Spain. 1t has more than 100000, and
in BuenOs Ayres alone there are over
$4,000. BuenOs Ayres is the biggest
Spanish-speaking city of the world.

up of Spaniards of the lower classes,
people who know nothing of the United
States, and who just now are violent

Of the Argentine is hence the hotbed
of the anti-American spirit Of South
america; Inc Spanish there gave more
than $1,OOO,O0O to their cause, and until
now they have supposed that the war
would be all one way. The lower classes
OF the Spanish down here are like the
lower classes in Spain. They believe
that the Spaniards are the strongest
and bravest people of the world, and
