nee la, as the natives pronounce
the word;, was founded, tradition
telU us, about five hundred
years no by the Chinese mer
chants, who found profit in the
exportation of hemp and tropical
fruits that yet yrow wild and in
abundance in the islands. Hut
little history Is recorded of the
days of conquests and treaties,
however, tradition apiin tells us
the islands became a part of the
Spanish Empire about the time
America was discovered. The
.Spanish dulmed the country by
riyht of discovery, though it is
evident the Chinese were here
f, , to two hundred years
.... , ,,

was un Archipelago.
To say what Manila has been
would he largely jruesswork.
though there are many relics and
inipvi'lshable monuments here
that bear evidence that the city
is an ancient place. The great
stone wall around the old city
bears different dates on each of
the six trates of entrance. The
earliest date is 1571 A. D. uud
the latest 17U A. I). One might
judge from this, tho last entrance
was completed one hundred and
tifty years after the completion
of the tirst. Hesides this great
wall, that every American has
heard more or less of, especially
since the American occupation of
the islands, there are several
old buildings and Catholic
churched that seem to be even
more ancient than tho wall.
These like the wall are construct

an old church a block from where
I room in tho walled city, said to
bo the oldest in the province.
The building is a large stone
structure, erected in the center
of a lot enclosed by a stone fence
of about four feet in height. The
open space between the building
and the outer fence is paved with
granite slabs. The most strik
ki; things to attest the wear of
centuries, are the paths or trail
fully two inches deep worn in
these granite slabs, lending from
the entrances of the building to
tho street. They five ns visible
and as plain ns Indian trails in
parts of Crook county. Passing
this church one day, unit seeing
a couple of friars outside I stop

there are plenty of opportunities,
both for success and failure.
Let iue advise none to come here

of gaining wealth,
but at the same time I should
not say to prospective immi
