Manila, proper Is small. and is almost
wholly occupied by the larger Govern
ment buildings and religious institutions.
Within "a space of about 40 or - blocks.
there is the Cathedral, the palace of the
GovernOr-General fort, the church and
convent of ST. Augustine, the churches OF
san Francisco. SantO Domingo, and dc
RecOletos, the converts OF the Jesuits Of
Santa Catalina, of Santa Rosa, Of the
nuns OF santa Clara, and other public
and religious buildings. / wish 20 state
here that the religious SOcieties are pre-
pairing 10 leave, and that even now some
OF them are willing 10 dispose OF their
realty. Spanish rule can never be recOv-
cred unless the United States is willing To
spend blood and treasure 10 restore IL.
There IS d very strong sentiment here
that the war is not ended and that Rus
STA has some scheme 10 thwart the Unit
ed States il they should claim the Phil
ippines. Germany Is now on MS good be-

teresting reading. The translation IS
