"It brings people to the city,"' he said, "who invariably went away to stay over night, after having transacted their business." There Is surely much truth In this statement. Heretofore traveling men would come to Independence, do their regular routine of duty during the day and Fi the evening go to Dnl las to remain over night. Conditions are different now.

Interest is aroused on passing Corregidor, an island that guards the entrance to Manila Bay, and is now strongly fortefied with the latest im proved guns, and ready for an at tack from p,ny power on etrth. Manila Bay does not call for any thing in. the shape of eulogy though it is a fine, noble sheet of water that could accommodate all the fleets of the world if necessary. A great deal of misrepresentation exists about the fuss and bother of landing at Manila beftise it is a pro tected port, the exact opposite of Hongkong. Manila is just as easy a place to lamd, if you have a lit tle patience. The custom author ieties are bound to do their duty, which it may be said they do In a very courteous end obliging manner, provided you show them considera tion, a,nd the chances are your bag gage will not be more than merely glanced r. i You will probably melt down three or four collars before you get through the custom house and arrive at a ho tel, and the only consohitlon you will fdid is that the Manilaites will think the weather very cool, even if the mercury is up in the eighties. but are really very comfortable I likewise very cool J Everyone in Manila goeg out driv ing in the evening, winding up at the Luneta, a beautiful little pcfk where j the band plays every evening from ! 6 to 7, when the people disperse, go- ing home to dm.

Some of them are the officers of trans-pacific lines, who seem to have combined with the curio merchants of little show-window Jap an to keep all tourists aw-ay from the Philippines. Once the unwary tour ist announces his destination as Ma nila, he is served with a ten course menu of stock-stcrles of heat and pestilence, and insanity producing , monotony. No man, woman or child, even the most delicate need fear to come to the Philippines on the' ground ol being unhealthy. On the contrary, the Philippines today, thaiks to a wise government, is one of the healthiest spots on earth. Manila, It (Continued on P&ee eight.)
