the Philippines is estimated at 100000
square miles. The island OF Luzon, on
which the capitol city OF Manila is stu
ated, is larger than New York and Massa-
chusetts combined, and has 4 population
Of 5000 900. Mindanao is nearly, il not
quite, as large. There are scores OF other
large and populous islands. An idea OF
the extent OF the Philippines can be had
when il is stated that the six New Eng
land states, New York, New Jersey,
MARYLAND and Delaware have 10 per cent
less area. The Caroline, Ladronc and
Soooo islands, all belonging to SPAIN are
to be taken into account in the final
reckoning with that country. Altogether
the Philippines and these groups com
prise 1000 islands, in land and sea area
Of 200 miles OF latitude and 2,4oo miles
OF longitude.
