THE PROVINCE OF RIzAL.
An Extremely Fertile Territory About
the Size OF Rhode Island.

An Extremely Fertile Territory About
the Size OF Rhode Island.
From official material compiled in the
division Of insular affairs OF the War De-
partment the following abstract has been
prepared concerning the province Of Rizal,
which is, consolidation Of the former
Spanish province Of Manila, exclusive OF
the city of that name, and the district Of
Morong.
In area it is 1925 square miles. or 658,840
acres being but 224 square miles less than
the area of the state OF Rhode Island. The
greater portion Of the province Is alluvial
and extremely fertile. The Pasig river.
which flows across 1t, is the outlet into
Manila bay Of the large inland lake known
as Laguna de Bay. This stream. but
eighteen miles in length. varies in width
from $50 to upward Of $500 feet and has
a depth OF ~ to 21s feet, which makes 1t
an important thoroughfare for the extern
sive trade which Is carried on between Ma
nila and the interior.
The province has "a towns and 80 villages.
the towns ranging in population from 2. 800
to 10000. The total population Is o40, $40.
nearly all OF whom are Tagalogs. In the
mountain chain OF San Mateo a few Ne
gritos are found. The language of the
province Is Tagalog. but more Spanish is
spoken than In any Of the other provinces.
The capital, Pasig, Is telegraph and mill
itary station about one mile OF the river
OF that name. It IL well built and has
about 10000 inhabitants. Malabon, one Of

National League Clubs, Standing.

In the two games played at Boston yes
terday, the Collinsites won the first by the
score of to B, while the second was cap
tured by the Senators, Z to 3.
Once more the Bostons can thank their
great good luck in landing a game, an
error by Mercer, who played first, Dracti-
cally gave them the victory. Captain
Clarke was called home to Baltimore on ac-
count of the serious illness Of his brother,
which sent Grady behind the bat and Mer-
Ger to first. Patten was on the rubber in
the first game, and although the sum total
of hits obtained off his delivery was large,
big majority Of the safe ones came at a
time when the side should have been re
tired. Lewis, who opposed him, was hit
hard at times, and runs were generally
driven over the plate at the most oppor-
tune periods
In the second game Carrick at last broke
his "hoodoo" by winning out, notwithstand-
ing the fact that his support was of the
very ordinary kind. Boston made thirteen
hits off his delivery, but Wee Willie" had
the opposing batsmen guessing, and as re-
suit the safe hits could not be made with
runners on bases. In the eighth inning
there were three men on bases and only one
out, with Captain Collins at the bat. The
situation looked desperate, but the best
Collins could do was a line drive to Far
rell, and little Jack Immediately started q
double play which pulled the Senators out
of a big hole in splendid shape Winters
did the twirling for Boston, and for once
the Senators were able to locate his swift
curves and shoots. Bill Coughlin raised up
his percentage in batting at Winters ex-
pense, the Scranton boy getting single, a
double and home run.
Yesterdays games wound up the season
between the Washington and Boston clubs
the series standing to in favor of the
Collinsites. In the early part Of the sea-
son the Senators were away ahead Of the
BoStons, but in the last two months they
slipped to the rear with considerable speed
In the first game yesterday Farrell
Clingman and Coughlin were the bright
particular stars. The first named. besides
fielding brilliantly, batted out triple and
a home run.
In the second game. Farrell once more
fielded finely, but failed to connect with the
stick, Coughlin, Luskey, Clingman and
Waldron being the lucky ones to hammer
the ball into safe territory. Score:

with the fact that 1t has been deemed
