llAlilKMIS,
The immeuse coast linu of tl.e islands
contains a great uuuiber of Kocd harbors,
but as a coiisttiueucu of the txilusive
policy of the 8pani.li Koniii out in

The bay of Manila, one of the finest in
the world, is ubuut 1 'JO miles in circum
ference, w ith vt ry few dangers to navi
gation. Thoroaretwo long picrj running out
from the iuou'Ii of tho l'.i-u river, one
terminal ill),' in a lihthou.-e, mid the
other iu a small fort. In stormy weath
er bafe anchorage is found oil' C'avite,
some eight ini'.ts to the toutbweat by

ii the sea i r river. The waters of the
sea i t riv-r ran be lei in and f has isolate
l lie city, by opening the sluices con
trnctod for this purpose. Tbcre are all
v ins- ihree to tho worth, on the road lo
the riv-r l'asig, called A!macenc, flsnio
I'-niir.Ko, ami I.aM'iIl; and three on
lln: Inr d side, called I'arin, Hl, and
Sinia L'icia. All are well defended by
liiHtions, partK.il ailr on the land side.
IJcsi'let ihe gsies (litre is a bastion lo
the north-iiorlhweat of the gt'e of Hants
L'lci t, which is not always open.
The gate Heal, formerly enfiladed the
liaza Mat or and the palace of the gov
ernor, but since the faking of the city by
the Englinb in 1702, it lias been placed
in front of the college of San Jose, where
it is now Mtu-d, and public entrance is
u udi through the gate of Parian. Too
inrn) side is the most rx;o ed and the
be t fortified, but for convenience the
lt-B:riptiun will begin at Ihe most ad
vanced point formed by the river and
rea, which Is to be found at the extreme
norlhweitof Ihe city and delended by
!l- royal fort of Santiago. Tnis fort is
ci'sdtl, defending the enteracce to tbe
river and the northwest acgle of tbe
ci'y. Originally built of wood it es
soined its preteut form by order of Gov
ernor Gon.et, who surrounded the city
iiitbiood fortifications. The lort has a
K-tie to the plazt and a false one to tbe
liver. In front and on the other aide of
this, ii found tbe fort of Fernsndo,
ahich has no great strength.
On fie east of tho rojal fort of Santi
ago, and at a eboit distance frjmiton
the same side of tbe river, is found the
liiiti'in Tenrrias; next, id the same di
reel ion to tho gate of Almacenes; more
to ihe east the battfry of the military
lio-.'ti!. Not far from this on the same
li;:e, tri-i gte of Sinlo Domino, wi h
its t-troii bittery; next, ihj big' ion of
the customs ho'isa ( tnana); next, the
gate of Iabel K, and lastly, the bastion
of tan Gihriel, which terminates the
(ina if fortificatioai si mg tho river.
Joiutd to this bastion on the exterior
side is liunl the 1'Iazi Neuva. Still fol
ia ing the trace from the bastion of San
jiHricI, one sriivetat ihe ga'.e of Pariai
!f'!,'J',S, "iliwh il is necessary to pass in
LYv:ber'y direction to r.-ach the bridge
Lsafing" south from" tbis'gate, is a
beautifully paved highway of freat
hnadth, a."d to the southeast is the na-t-liou
Pia'olo. South of this point is the
postern of Kecoletoe, and j ut beyond,
the bastion of San Andres.
Theuce, ti the southwest, is situated
thu roval gate, and, as has been stated,
the extreme .oa'.hera point ia defonded
by the bastiou of San I'iego, protected
by the battery of Sau (iregorio, which is
t) vi It ou tho exterior line in the angle of
the plaza.
Many of these works have deteriorated
witti time, and the expenditure of a
little money and labor, especially at tbe
str.ielic p ints of Santiago Point, Rest
ins:a Point, and Correidor, would be of
great benefit. The streets are straight,
well paved, and illuminated. Promi
nent among its buildings are the gover
not 'a palace, th royal court of chancery
and the convent of San Auguttin, will
its handsome cborcb; the church and
convent of the Recollects of San Francis
co, whoso buildings o. cupy an immense
space; tbe royal college and pontifical
ii'iiversily of St. Thomas, which ia spa
cious, well constructed, and possesses a
notable physical laboratory; the munici
pal athent'.eum, in charge of ihe Jesuits,
with a physical laboratory, natural his
tory uiusaum, and a magnificent appar
atus lor astronomical observations; the
military hospital, with room for 1,000
bedf, and the spacious and well-attended
hospital ol Sai Juan de Pios.
Among tho buildings ruined ia the
earthquake of 1SG3, some of which are
be'ng reconstructed and otbeia already
so, are Ihe large and well-constructed
ca'heral, the customs building, etc.
Withiu the fortified city reside, gener
ally speakiug, the authorities of tbe
arch iptl ago, who have 1 lis same mission
and tho same hierarchy as those of
Cuba.
The leal nucleus of tbe population of
Manila is in its euburbe. These corn

Jose; Santa Cruz, with fifteen wards;

A Desperate Woman.
Experts in insanity tell I
us that when anyone goes 1
insane, frequently their whole nature is re
versed. Tbey do and say exactly the op
posite things to what they would do in
their sane minds. A mother whose mind
breaks down under extreme nervous ten-'
sion may tuni upon the one object in all
the world most precious to her her baby.
The terrible nervous Uurdon under which
many women live and siaTcr because of
some weakness or disease of their sex,
keeps them on the very verjre of insanity.
The constant dragr aud drain upon the com
plicated and delicate organism affects the
whole nervo'is system and works upon the
brain with an almost irresistible madness.
Thousands of suiTering women have been
literally saved from the insane asylum by
the timely influence of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It ia the one perfect and pos
itive specific for every derangement of wo.
man's special organism. It is a scientiGo
and permanent cure for those seveie,
chronic, complicated cases which doctors
usually consider hopeless. It ia the only
medicine of its kind devised by an educated
and skilled physician.
Mrs. Sarah K. Knius, of Diiyton, Cass Co., Mo.,
in a It-tier to Dr. 1'ieice, writes: " It was in the
winter of 1S90 I hat my uAtiuif comuieiicrd. It
win close lo my tiini- ol i:onfiiu ment. 1 took the
grip, sud I liat with the liilnir pain, all went lo
iiv head. I mitlVrt'il ilicinliully. and when 1 gave
birth to mv little bny 1 kepi gclliug worse. I
doctored but iiollilng did inr any lowii. I hart
nervous spasms nnil was tlrlit ions Oh, no tongiia
can cxprrt my suHi'rini;. I was advised by a
lady to try your ini'iliciiif and 1 did. I get one
bottle of the ' l-'avorite Prescription ' and one of
Ihe 'Colileii Mrilicul Discovery.' I bad taken
two-thirds of the medicine when it commenced
il. woik I begun lo feel belier, aud still con
tinued Kclltnsr belter. In a short lime I felt like
another woumti. I gsiuid iliength aud llesh. I
am uov forty one years of age. This Irue. aod
it was your nit-iliciii. thai saved my Itie.'
