alANILA: KANSAS CITY OF
THE PHILIPPINES =

In connection with the continued dis
cussion OF independence for the Phil
ippines the capital city of the islands,
Manila becomes Of special interest.
As a transport wends inward from
the China sea. IL passes the island OF
Corregidor, beyond which stretches
Manila bay. whose 120-mile circumfer
ence could surround the navies of the
world. Its rival will not be found in
the far East. On the right of its en-
trance stands Cavite. where Dewey
sank the Spanish feet.
From the bay the city of Manila
seems TO lie almost ut water level
with hazy mountains for a back
ground. Before the United States
came to the islands Manila was a
sleepy town. sprawled lazily beyond
the bay and the wharves of the river
were quiet and almost deserted at
times, its suburbs shady and pretty,
and a general air Of 'manana" per-
yaded its atmosphere.
Today its estimated population
equals that OF Jersey City, kndianap-
oils or Kansas City; the river is alive
with launches and vessels of every
description, including the households
of a literally floating population Of
fifteen thousand and through its port
IL sends yearly TO other countries near
ly II hundred million dollars worth of
hemp. sugar, c0pra. tobacco and other
comoditicS.
4 unique sight in Manila Is the Pace
cemetery. which at present has fallen
into disuse. II is comp osed Of two con
centric walls about six feet thick,
honeycombed with holes just large
enough for u coffin. In the olden days
these were leased for periods of five

Seldom. does a volcano become an

Barbadans were panic stricken, but
