hot days Of the late insurrectiou, the church
was used as a hospital and the yard tor tein-
porary interment of Uncle Sans dead. The
blockhouse nearby was the scene OF many
skirmish and engagement, and the volun'
teeTs for the Spanish-American war
covered themselves with glory there.
The churchyard contains twenty or more
acres of land and one can hardly lay his
hand upon any part of II without touching
grave. These graves are surface structures,
cemented in, and they are not pleasant to
look upon. They are uncanny in fact and

The waterworks system of Manila is
great, and it represents great engineering
feat. The city water is drawn from the
Mariquina River, which traces the noun
taius to the east and north, and it is as pure
as the dewdrop, but unpalatably warm to
the man from temperate climes. The
pumping station is eight miles out and the
depository, a sort of ventilated reservoir,
about half that distance. Water is brought
into Manila by means of tiling, three or more
feet in diameter and they are laid in ser
pentiue-like way, the direction east and
north of the city. While the talk is, "The
water supply is limited" It has proven to
be sufficient for emergencies up to date. A
walk along its bulwark Of tiling makes one
think Of pressure or hydraulics, and again
to wonder that such a system can provide a
city Of 500, 900 souls with water for domestic
purposes alone. What the system might
do with a devastating FIRE, such as was wit
messed in Chicago and Boston a few years
ago, may be imagined. While Manila has

THE EYE OF AN ARTIST.
A Case Where IL Was More Reliable
Than a Sailors Optic.

Mr. N. Chevalier, the we'll known artist
who accompanied the late Duke Of Edin-
burgh on many Of his travels. was once
going from Dunedin to Lyttelton, New
Zealand by steamer Anxious to catch the
earliest glimpse Of the coast he went on
deck at dawn and was alarmed to see that
the vessel was heading straight on to the
land. Calling the officers attention to the
fact, he was told that it was only fog bank.
The artist maintained his point, but the
second officer looked and confirmed his
mate.
The artist then said: We'll gentlemen, /
will back my artists eye against your
sailors eye, and I say that what you mis-
take for bank is low range Of hills,
and that there is range Of mountains ap-
pearing above them"
But he was only laughed at until the
captain coming on deck found in the grow.
ing light that the artist was right and the
seamen wrong. The vessel was out Of its
course, and there was only lust time TO
avert disaster The helmsman was dis

Spain did not build so badly after all
While there are many things in Manila to
condemn, there is much to admire. When
Magallanes anchored in Manila Bay, three
centuries ago, and took possession of the
Philippine Archipelago in the name of the
flag, he cast his lot mong.savages, tribes that
rivaled the American Apache and Conan
che in their thirst for blood
Spain, then in the zenith Of glory, sent
her missionaries, her priests and friars and
commenced the work Of love, built paro-
chial schools and churches, seized property
and heritages, bred internal strife and
wiped tribes of the map, still Spain ruled
and Manila grew. Manila proper was
walled to keep out warning elements, stand
earthquakes and knock out the typhoon.
Casas and business buildings were erected
with great base walls Of stone, topped with
great awnings that Tapped the sidewalks,
and there was reason for il, too The
genius of the umbrella man was then un-
known, and the jutting caves gave protec-
tion from the fierce blasts Of rain, which
last from four to six months of the year

ippine group has but two seasons, wet and
dry, and while both have their benefits,

nishing the earthquake and typhoon and
the dry season the torrid tantaliziug sun;
hence the arehing caves are great things in
their way. All this is by y.of expana-
ton, for walks about Manila suggest that
these same caves have great rents, which
let great waters fall upon the unfortunate
man without a quilez during the rainy sea-
son, and they also suggest that there is a
great work for Senor Alejandrino the sue
cessor Of Senor Hinkle as building inspec-
tor TO do.
Nevertheless, Spain had rewarding ma
ture; so, also, has Uncle Sam. Spain gave
Manila the Luneta, and Uncle Sam wiped
of the knolls and artificial mountains that
obscured it. Honors in this respect are more
than even, for Uncle Sam has proven to be
progressive Without further facetiousness
II is but just to give credit where credit is
due. Manila, the real handiwork of Spain,
houors Magallanes, the only prototype of
Columbus as navigator and explorer, with
a monument on Plaza Suez, the direct drive
from the Bridge of Spain 20 the Palace, the
seat Of government in the Walled City.
The monument, thirty odd feet in height,
Is built upon base of granite and bears

The monument is a simple, plain shaft,
its apex surmOunted by a globe-like pedes-
tai, upon which the name Of the great ex-
plorer alone is printed Its plainness, how
ever, is a credit to the loving hearts that
created il in Magallanes' memory. But,
since Uncle Sam came, surrounding walk
has been handsomely paved, and the mon
ument is enclosed by an adequate iron
fence, sufficient to preserve il and protect
il from the hands of relic-hunters.

proaches the dignity of boulevard in the
city, skirts the botanical gardens Almost
in their center rests a monument erected in
memory Of Sebastian Vidal Soler, their
patron and founder Senior Vidal was a
native of Barcelona. and he commenced
his work on this garden of beauty in I842.
and his monument was placed July 28th
1880. Owing TO tides and neglect the gar
dens we're a wild morass two and oue-half
years ago but since then they have been
drained and cultivated until they have re-
gained old-time beauty, and the Vidal mon
ument is not the least Of its attractions

sumably the likeness of the man in the

Manila-the Walled City-has two clas-
steal monuments-great works of art One
fronts the palace, gracing the center of the
park-like plaza, which is studded with
plants and trees of beautiful foliage This
monument was erected in memory of AL
Rey d. Carlos de Borbon, a Spaniard, one
who never visited the islands, but a man of
loving heart and great charity-a Dhilan.
thropist- Something like two centuries
ago the Philippines were scourged with
smallpox, its victims going to churchyards
by hundreds. De Borbon sent the FIRST
vaccine matter to the islands, stopped the
spread Of the disease and the Filipino
race have since regarded him as a patron
saint The statue of this man of charity is
built upon a base of granite, symmetrically
placed, and it bears these inscriptions:

This tribute to the memory Of D. Carlos
de BorbOn was placed by money contributed
by the Filipino people, whom the Spaniards
were slowly but surely bringing into the
ways Of civilization, and the testimonial
was from the heart and not the bolo.
The second monument graces Plaza Santo
Tomas, in memory Of Father Miguel de Be
navides, the founder Of the university after
which the plaza is named. The university
opened It's doors for the light of education
nearly a century ago and the better minds

MURDERS WIFE AND DAUGHTER
Horrible Double Tragedy Is Enacted
Last Night

/ In fit of Jealous rage, no doubt,
Monroe Adams, a negro well known
about town, shot to death his wife and
grown daughter in cold blood here last
night, killing both in a house where
they had taken refuge.
! Both women were killed instantly,
neither uttering a word after the firing
had ceased,
! The horrible crime was committed at
the house Of Will Nighton, on Jeffsr-
son street. The Adams girl visited
there and her mother had gone there
last night perhaps for her.
In few minutes Adams appeared
upon the scene.
He was armed with double barrel
ed shotgun, and eneountering his
daughter upon the front porch he at
/ once opened fire upon her.
One barrel was emptied into the girl
at the distance of few PAGES and a
great hole made in her breast and side
She fell upon the porch and died with
out grosn or struggle, it is said,
Then, like blood-thirsty animal,
Adams entered the, house,
His wife was sweeping near the
stove, evidently, as she held a broom
in her hand when found a few min
utes afterward.
The deadly gun was fired again, the
load penetrating the woman, s breast
and killing her instantly Seeing that
his bloody work was well done Adams
cody went away in the darkness.
Other negroes living near gave the
alarm and a throng of maddened ne
groes soon gathered at the human
slaughter pen near by.
Sheriff Bell was notified and with
other officers went quickly in pursuit
Of Adams.
The negro, evidently close pressed
by his pursuers, made a circuit of the
old cemetery and came towards town.
Sheriff Bell saw HIM and made the
capture.
Adams was badly frightened and
begged the protection of Sheriff Bell.
He was quickly placed in a steel cage
in jail, safe from any harm at the
hands of negroes who might have at
tempted to lynch him.
The double homicide created intense
excitement and possibly a thousand
people visited the scene of the killing
last night
