|Corregidor, Gibraltar of the Pacific,
Guards the Entrance To Manila Bay
BY Dorothy stanhope.

MANILA, P. l.. Feb. 26.-At
the entrance of Manila Bay stands
the Island Corregidor, known as
the Gibraltor of the Pacific. 1t is
lonely, forbidding pile of rocks.
Along its banks are masked bat
teries, whose location is kept sec
ret. On it's precipitous sides are
still others and on its summit are
huge guns that eau sweep many
miles of sea-
Should the island be attacked
and taken by a hostile power, this
would be the last stand of our
troops, and it is being SO strongly
fortified as to render 1t impreg-
|nable. Here would be placed the
women and children, and the
troops would withdraw to it.
1t is kept stocked with six
months supplies, being the store
house for the island, as rapidly
las the supplies are drawn upon,
they are replaced by incoming
transports. There is always enough
food stored there to feed 5000
persons six months.
Since the United States has de-
|termined to make this the strong
hold of the Philippines, it has
been forbidden to take pictures Of
it; there are only few in ex-
istence. But, with all of the eff
forts made to keep secret the in
