Porto Rico has been left free
from blockade or other naval at

This country cannot well seek

to attract it into the American

ARGUS stated that Spain would
concentrate all her naval force to
crush our feet in Cuban waters:

MANILA AND IT'S BAY.

Spanish reports last week as
serted that the entrance TO Manila
Bay was guarded by fifty to sixty
heavy guns and that it would be
impossible for the American fleet
to enter the bay without the aid OF
battleships and the cooperation of
a strong land force. They didn't
know what was possible to an un-
armored American fleet Now
they know more about 1t.
Manila is a very bustling port
with a very beautiful bay. The
town, which is the capital of the
Philippines, is a city of $50, 900
inhabitants, according to the ceno
U of 1880. The large bay, on
the shores of which it lies, is oval
in fora and at least 100 miles in
periphery. Into it the River
Pasig empties. The city proper,
that is the fortified portion of it,
is on the left bank Of the Pasig, a
spot selected in 1871 by Lopez de
Legaspi as the future centre of
Spanish power 10 the islands. The
Spanish and Cerole portion Of the
population constitute about one~
tenth of the whole, the others be-
ing natives and Chinese. Most
of the Chinese are engaged in
commerce. The city proper is a
group Of forts, converts, and ad-
ministrative buildings. 1t is sur
rounded by lofty walls and con-
nected with the commercial part
of the community on the right
bank Of the Pasig by two fine
bridges.
AS a centre of trade it is admir-
ably situated at the mouth of a
navigable river and Of an interior
sea which insures it the products
of a whole province, Upon the
waters of the bay rides in times Of
peace a commercial fleet represent
inc the nations of the whole
world.
A canal connects Manila with
the seaport towns on the other
side of the island-the eastern side.
In the narrows at the entrance Of
the bay is the volcanic island of
Ccrregidor. During the south
west monsoon, when the tides
are highest, ships of 500 tons can
anchor in the mouth of the Pasig,
under cover of a long jetty, while
small ~warships can enter the cove
of Cavite-nine miles further down.
This cove is protected from the
high tides by a long sand prom
ontory called the Hook.
Manila is very favorably situat
ed for General commerce.
1t commands all the routes OF
Navigation between the Strait OF
Londe and the mouth Of the Yang
tse-Kiang. Laperause said of the
city that its commercial location
was the best in the world.
Fhe principal exports of Manila
are hemp, cigars, coffee, and SUI
gar. The leading manufacture is
cigars, which is a Government
monopoly employing 10000 work,
ers of both sexes.
Manila was founded by, the
Spaniards In 1871.

Daily Argus Tuesday
1t has long been the conscious
pride of the ARGUS. and frequent
ly given expression to in the col
umns, that we've got the best town
in the State.
Whenever emergency arises, Or
occasion requires, or opportunity
affords, Goldsboro " fails to
manifest the broadest patriotism
or measure up to the highest
standard of progressive civiliza-
ton.
Our city has for years been
the beacon Of the State and one
of the shining lights to the world
in higher public school education
by special taxation.
In material advancement by in
dividual enterprise we have &C.
complished wonders in the az
gregate within the past twelve
years; during which our people
haye had object lessons in the
virtue Of progressive activity
and enjoyed the fruits Of indus
trial development.
In city improvements, under the
administration of sagaclous alder
men, we have led the State, and
to-day present broad, clean kept
streets, many of them paved their
full length, strung with electric
light end telephone wires, and
pulsing beneath with the arteries
of one of the finest systems OF
waterworks in the world.
But one great need has for some
time pressed its importance upon
our people and grown into their
convictions as a necessity, until
yesterday with the majesty OF
their ballot they settled it at the
polls by a good majority that
Goldsboro must have sewerage.
To this end the city was author
lied by yesterdays vote to issue
bonds in the sum of $50, 600, bear
ing interest at 5 per cent and ex-
tending for a period of 80 years.
The measure has been so fully
discussed and advocated in the
ARGUS that our readers are IA
miliar with it and showed their
approval by voting for it yester-
day.

confined to political parties, for.
