TIioii,'1i I have been here shops, stores, residences and more than two months I have j stables, ehu relics, a cathedral, n seen but little of the place, out- j hospital, etc., within the wall. hide of ii small urea of u few square blocks, as my work lias been such as t occupy every moment of my time, and when veiling and Sunday winks I um content to remain at homo und rehtuml keep cool. Manila (Ma 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 .... , ,, l'"f"rc sl'" evl'r Unev' llHrt 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 eu oi stone ami duck, i nereis 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 e.d ami inquired how old the pleasing thing is the cltuiate. it church was. Tho only answer ' is warm but not oppressive. Tc they gave was "miiy antiguo," iday at 3 p.m. the thermometer which moans in English "very , registered 08, and is by far ancient."

A mile east of the walled city and beyond the Lunetta is the main resident por tion, and includes the districts of Hnnita, Malatc, San Muguil and Santa Cruz, the latter being in a northeasterly direction from tho walled city. Native residences are found in every portion of the city, but are more dense and typical of their own native char actoristics, in tho extreme su burbs. What the population of Manila is I know not, but have heard it said ' to be from H00.0O0 to a half-million.

Let iue advise none to come here in the hope of gaining wealth, but at the same time I should not say to prospective immi grants to this country, to not come. Foodstuffs, commodities and other necessities of life are double and often treble in price to what they are in the states, and thus living is likewise more expensive One hears much dis- content spoken of among many of the Americans here and the majority have a set date' in the not far off future when they ecu- template returning to the home land.
