History.—On the 19th of May, in the year 1571,the Governor Miguel Lopez de Legaspi made peacewith chief Lacandola and his nephew Sohman, whoheld between them the territory now occupied by the

city of Manila, and took possession of it in the nameof Felipe II, King of Spain, to whom the inhabitants

swore fidelity and allegiance.

The beautiful bay of Manila, the river Pasig, andmore especially the open clear country around the

place induced Legaspi to found the city at the point

where the Pasig empties into the bay, and gave it the

name of Manila, which was the same name as the place

had before, owing to the ancient custom of the natives

of giving the place where they established their townsthe name of some common tree, and as in this place

the tree called "nila" grew abundantly, they addedthe prefix "man," which signifies "there is," the

result being "man-nila," which the Spaniards have

6 r, :^' '>

corrupted into Manila.On the 24th of June Legaspi established the City

Council of Manila, making this city the Capital ot the

Philippine Islands with all the privileges inherent as

such in the same manner as cities were established andorganized in Spain.

The privileges of the city of Manila were confirmedby the King by an ordinance dated November 19, 1595,and another of the 20th of March, 1596, in w^hich the

Spanish Monarch also granted the city a coat of arms,consisting of a silver castle on a red ground with a

crowned lion on the low^er part by the side of a delphin

holding a sword and thrashing the sea with its tail.

The city of Manila since its foundation up to our ,

day has passed through many vicissitudes, which w^e

shall briefly sketch. The year following its foundation

in 1572 the death of Legaspi occurred, the loss of this

great man being a heavy misfortune for the Philippines,

who lost in him a upright and just governor and a

loving father, full of tenderness for the natives, whoregarded him with respect and affection ; it was also a

heavy loss for Spain, for whom Legaspi was a clever

and sagacious politician, who with unselfishness,

prudence and constancy dedicated his noble efforts to

the extension of the sovereignty ot Castile and to assure

forever the civilization and well-being of this beautiful

archipelago.

Shortly after this heavy loss while Guido de Lave-zares was Governor of the Islands, on the 30th ot

November, 1574, the famous Chinese pirate Ccdled

Ly-Ma-Hong appeared in the bay of Manila with a

fleet of ninety-five vessels and over tw^o thousandfighting men who, guided by the Japanese Sioco,

landed near the city, attacking it vigorously and putting

it in great peril. At the first attack Field MarshalMartin de Goyti fell and many soldiers were killed,

but Juan Salcedo, Governor of Vigan, arriving with

renforcements, the Spaniards regained courage andsucceeded in repulsing the Chinese, who were defeat-

ed and followed by the victorious Spaniards as far as

tlie province of Pangasinan, where the remnants ot

their fleet and army were destroyed. The King of

Spain conferred the title of " >foble and AlwaysLoyal City " upon Manila, recording the grant in the

Ordinance of 1574.In 1 58 1 , while the Islands were under the govern-

ment of Gonzalo Ronquillo, Father Domingo Salazar,

the first archbishop of Manila, arrived in this city onthe 2 1 St of December of the same year. The Bishopric

was dependent upon Mexico. This Scime year Gover-nor Ronquillo died, and while his funeral was beingconducted, a terrible fire occurred, which commencedin the church of San Agustin where the funeral rites

were being celebrated, the tire spreading all over the

city, which was reduced to ashes, with the loss of

many lives.

In the year 1593 the Governor Gomes Perez Das-marinas ordered the walls of this city to be construct-

ed and also the fort of Santiago. He founded theCollege of Santa Potenciana, which was established as

an asylum for the orphans of soldiers. In 1596 Fran-cisco Tello de Guzman defeated in Manila bay a large

Dutch fleet which had endeavored to capture the city.

About the same time the Bishopric was raised to the

dignity of an Archbishopric by a Brief ofPope ClementVIII and sub-divided into three bishoprics. On the

8th of May, 1598, the Audiencia w^as established in

this city at the request of the Archbishop.In this year 1603, while the Islands were being

governed by Pedro Bravo, a plot was organized byover thirty thousand Chinese for the purpose ofasssas-sinating the then small Spanish colony, and as a result

one of the most bloody scenes recorded in the history

of the Philippines took place, but as the plans of the

Chinese were discovered by a native woman the Spa-niards were able to be on their guard and when the

attack commenced drove the Chinese from the city

ahhough they succeeded in burning many buildings

and killed every one whom they met. The result of

this uprising was that the Chinese were completely

defeated and scattered after maintaining a siege of the

city which was met by a heroic defense. In this sameyear a terrible fire occurred in which the principal build-

ings were burned and a greater part of the houses of

the city.

In this 3^ear 1609, while Juan de Silva was Gover-nor, the Dutch blockaded the port of Manila but wererepulsed with a loss of three vessels out of the five

which composed their fleet. Not satisfied with this,

the Governor, with prodigious activity, gatheredtogether in Cavite a fleet manned by five thousandmen and well provided, with which he set forth in

pursuit of the Dutch, who were utterly defeated oft

Playa-Honda (Zambales) on the 14th of April, 161 7,

together with the Moro pirates with whom they hadallied themselves.

In the year 1645 twelve Dutch men-of-war enter-

ed the bay of Manila and made a vain attempt to

capture the cit}^ of Manila and other ports. GeneralLorenzo Ugarfe attacked them and gained a great

victory over the Dutch Navy, which lost them the

death ofAdmiral Witier. This same year Manila wasvisited by a terrible earthquake which left nothingstanding but the convent and church of San Agustinand caused the death of over six hundred personswho were crushed by falling buildings.

In 1762 while the country was enjoying a periodof advancement and prosperity and was in its mostflourishing condition, an English fleet entered the bay,

surprising the inhabitants of the colony, who wereignorant of the declaration ofwar against Spain which

Had been made by Kngland. The English fleet enter-

ed on the 1 8th of September ; it was composed of

thirteen men-of-war, manned by seven thousand Euro-

pean soldiers and commanded by Admiral Cornik andGeneral Draper. A demand was made for surrender

of all the Islands and on the 24th of the same monththe bombardment of the city of Manila took place.

The city was subjected to a torrent of projectiles, with

the result that the English finally succeeded in taking

it. The Spaniards appointed Simon de Anda y Salazar

Governor of the Islands, and he, with great activity

and valor, recruited and organized a powerful army,which besieged the invaders in Manila, causing themheavy losses and never giving them a moment's re-

pose, frequently obliging them to take refuge within

the walls of the city under the shelter of their can-

nons. After the Spaniards had endured endless pri-

vations and dangers the treaty of peace was signed

between England and Spain ; word was received in

Manila in March, 1764, and Anda triumphantly enter-

ed the city.

In the beginning ol October in the year 1820Manila was visited by an epidemic of Asiatic cholera

morbus, which caused a panic among the population,

who believed that it was due to the foreigners havingpoisoned the waters. This belief resulted in somelamentable outrages and assassinations which armedforce was required to repress.

In the year 1844 General Narcsio Claveria suc-

ceeded in putting an end to the piratical excursions

of the Moros ofJolo, Balanguingue and other south-

ern islands. These marauders heretofore had beenin the habit of attacking different parts of the islands,

committing robbery and assassination and makingmany captives, their daring reaching the extremeof even entering the bay of Manila. On this ac-

count an expedition against them was prepared, and

after a fiercely contested battle, over lour hundredMoros were killed and three hundred taken prisoner,

over two thousand captives held by them were libe-

rated, one hundred and twenty four of their cannoncaptured and one hundred and fifty of their vessels

seized. By this severe lesson they were held in

check for a considerable time and forced to live upto the treaty which they had signed. This state of

affairs, however, lasted but a short time, and in

February, 1 851, General Antonio de Urbiztondo wasobliged to leave Manila at the head of another ex-

pedition composed of four regiments of artillery,

marines and militia, commanded by the heroic FatherYbanez. Upon his arrival at Jolo he attacked the

Mores successfully killing a great number of themand takmg eight of their forts along with a large

quantity of artillery.

' In 1862, while the Islands were being governedby General Ralael de Echague, cholera morbus againappeared in Manila although not with the samesevereness as before.

In 1 863,—a year of unhappy memory for Manila,

—

a tremendous earthquake occurred, which ruined the

Cathedral and many other buildings of this cit}',

causing the death of many persons. In 1877, whileGeneral Moriones was Governor, the project of the

patriotic Carriedo was carried into eftect and the water•work system of this city was inaugurated.

In the year 1880, while General Fernando Primode Rivera, Marquis of Estella, was Governor, heavyearthquakes were felt in this city on the 14th of Julyof that year; they were repeated during several suc-

cessive days with equal intensity. These earthquakesdestroyed the buildings w^hich the earthquake of 1863had left standing and caused the greatest panic amongthe residents of the city, who fled to the outlying dis-

tricts in search of safety. That nothing might be lack-

II

ing to complete the horror of this calamity, choleramorbus again broke out in the Capital, causing nu-merous victims and producing the greatest terror

among the inhabitants.

In this unfortunate year the European cable waslaid putting Manila in connection with the rest of the

world, and in 1883 the first street railway system of

this city was inaugurated. During the brief commandof General Despujols in 1891 the inauguration of the

first railroad of the Philippines was celebrated, the

line running from Manila to Dagupan. Four years

after, in 1895, the electric light system was established

in this city, and in this same year General Blancoopened, under the most favourable auspices, the first

Regional Exposition of the Philippines.

Finally, in August, 1896, the Philippine Revolu-tion broke out in the province of Cavite against the

Spanish domination.The 1st of May, 1898, war having been declared

between Spain and the United States of America, the

squadron of Admiral Dewey entered the bay of Manilaand destroyed the Spanish fleet in the port of Cavite

;

after a long blockade of three months and one half in

the bay of Manila this city capitulated and the AmericanHag was raised at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the

13th of August, 1898.

Geographical Description: The city of

Manila is situated in the torrid zone, betw^een East

Longitude 120° 58' 3" and 14^ 35' 30" North Lati-

tude of the Greenwich Meridian,

Situation : Manila is situated in the central

portion of the island of Luzon, bounded on the north

by the province of Bulacan, on the south by the

province of Cavite, on the east by the province ot

Morong and on the west by Manila bay.

Extention: This city has a superficial area

of 683.84 hectares, approximately.

12

Climate: The climate is mild and temperatealthough not the most healthy in the Archipelago.

The season of the greatest heat commences in

the month of March, when the south-west monsoonsets in, and in October the north-east monsoon ushersin a period of cool and agreeable weather.

Temperature: The annual mean tempera-ture of the archipelago at the level of the sea is from27 to 28 degrees centigrade, the maximum extremesbeing from 37 to 38 degrees, although, naturally, in

elavated places the temperature is much lower.

Hydrometry : The maximum evaporation oc-

curs in the months of March, April and May. in whichthe amount ol water evaporated is from nine to ten

milimeters per diem, the minimum of evaporation oc-

curring in the months of July, August, September andOctober, in which the precipitation is abundant ; the

remainirg months are those which most nearly appro-ximate the average evaporation, which varies between5 and 6 milimeters.

Population: The last census, taken in the

year 1898, showed that the city had a population of

400,230, including 42,000 registered Chinese.

Topography: Manila and the surroundingcountry which forms the province of that name is

generally level.

Languag'e : The native language is the Tagalodialect, but Spanish is very commonly spoken althoughmore or less currupted.

Monuments and Notable Edifices : Themonuments existing in this city are the Magellan obe-

lisk, situated on the public promenade of the samename on the banks of thePasig; the obelisk of Simonde Anda, which is situated at the end of the MariaCristiana drive ; the statue of Charles IV, situated in

the centre of the garden of the Palace square in the

Walled City ; the statue ol Isabela II, jn tbe Malate

13

square ; the statue of Archbishop Benavides, in the

Santo Tomas square ; the statue of Juan SebastianElcano, in the City Hall, and finally, the CarriedoFountain, situated at the Sampaloc Rotunda.

A visitor in the city of Manila who misses the im-posing buildings, beautiful driveways and other pub-lic monuments ofEuropean cities will be right in sayingthat it is difficult to believe that this country has beenfor over three centuries under the flag of artistic

Spain. Nothing similar to the cathedrals of Burgosand Seville is to be found in Manila, no evidence of

that creative genius which has displayed its fantasy in

the Alhambra or its severity in the Escorial, whichbuilds palaces like temples and temples which are

monuments of glory; nothing, in short, is to be foundhere to the Spain which has marked its passage throughthe world with monuments which are glories of archi-

tecture.

Nevertheless Spain has been here and here lived

the great Herrera, who left no other monument to his

memory than the church and convent of San Agustin,which building although it may not show the masterhand of the great architect who gave speech to thestones of the Escorial, yet shows the thought of the

wise mathematician who so successfully combined theforces of resistance that when everything else in Manilawas destroyed this church of San Agustin still stood.

In order to explain this strange fact it is necessaryto examine History, from the teachings of which wefind that the city of Manila has been heavily visited byfire and by earthquakes. Shortly after Legaspi tookpossession of the city he planned the construction ofa citadel at the mouth of the river Pasig, which he called

the Roval Fort of Saint James, and near this he outlinedthe city, constructing several buildings for the publicservice and over one hundred and fifty houses for theinhabitants. For nearly ten years Manila continued to

14

grow, its buildings constantly increasing, and then it

was reduced to ashes by a devastating fire, which tookplace on the 17th ofJanuary, 1583. Over twenty yearsof constant labor followed to re-construct the city,

which labor was again offset b}^ another terrible fire

which occurred on the night of April 30, 1603.

These severe lessons taught the inhabitants of-

Manila that the wood which they wished to use onaccount of their fear of earthquakes was not the propermaterial; and the rich quarries of Luzon oftered excel-

lent material for solid constructions. Manila was thenbeautified by imposing buildings and the inhabitants

constructed houses which according to contempora-neous records of that period "were equal to Europeanpalaces;" but all this grandeur was buried in the ruins

of the earthquake of the 30th ofNovember, 1645. Thecity of Manila continued to struggle, ever striving forbeauty, that it might with justice be called the "Pearl!

of the Orient," but these efforts were constantly frus-

trated, either by fire or by earthquakes, and thus theXVIII Century passed and the present was ushered in

without any of the monumental edifices which fill the

ancient cities of Europe, although many buildings

worthy of mention wliicli ivere destroyed by the earth-

quake of 1863 could lay claims to beauty of construc-tion. Those of the building which were not destroyedin 1863 were thrown down by the earthquake of 1889.The most praiseworthy efforts have been made by the

Department of Public Works of the past domination to

prevent the earthquakes from being the gulf into whichthe public wealth of Manila is cast, but that body wasable to do but little more than beautify the districts of"

Ermita, Malate and San Miguel, in which many beau-tiful houses belonging to the rich citizens of Manilahave been constructed.

The result is that architecture is compelled to con-tent itself with low buildings and is almost unable to.

15

avail itself of stone and other hard materials, the

result being that the rigidity of the straight line is of

necessity the rule followed ; thus all the buildings in

Manila which can be called notable have a certain

appearance of smallness although their dimensionsmake them large. The so-called Palace of the City

Council has a greater frontage than useful space ; the

Cathedral with its three naves formed by parallel

colums resting on granite bases leaves much to bedesired with regard to the arrangement of the lights

;

the church of Santo Domingo lacks the elevation whichits style requires ; the convents of the religious cor-

porations are built with two facades, and in general,

all of the churches are plain evidence of what I havestated,—that is, that notwithstanding the amount of

space covered by these buildings, they appear too

small to anyone looking at them with the eye of anartist.

An exception might be made to the building called

Intendencia, in which both plan and intelligence areto be observed in its development, but the monotonyof its lines wearies the eye. The church of the Jesuit

Friars, called the church of San Ignacio is built in

the style of the Renaissance and is very beautiful. Thefapade of this church is not only characteristic of the

order to which it belongs but also shows what can bedone with brick in the Philippines. The NormalSchool and the Observatory, also belonging to the

Jesuit friars, and the Temple of the Carmen of theRecoletos, entirely constructed of iron on a system of

triangulations with beautiful glass windows whosecolors are worthy of admiration, are the only twobuildings outside of the Walled City worthy of atten-

tion of the traveller.

Now that the new domination of the Philippines

gives rise to hopes for better things in the future, it

is not vain to affirm that the city of Manila, under

i6

the American flag^ will soon recover from its past mis-

fortunes, again attain " the rank which belongs to

it and shortly reach a stage of greatness which will

make it worthy of admiration among the other cities

of the Orient.

The country of Franklin, of Edison^ which countsamong its citizens such eminent engineers as thosewho relized such gigantic works as the Croton watersystem of New York^ the overland railways whichunite the Atlantic with the Pacific, a nation whichlike the United States knows how to construct cities,

on the wide streets ofwhich are found such buildingsas the City Hall of New York, the Capital at Washing-ton and Faneuil Hall of Boston, and many othersuhich are admired for their beauty and elegance,will doubtless find a means of making Manila theQueen City of the Orient.

Constituted Government.—Up to the pre-

sent time no definite government of the archipelagohas been established, although there is a Civil Com-mission in the city of Manila which has been appointedby the Washington Government, with legislative

powers, encharged with the study of tl\p Philippineproblem. This Commission will probably constitutethe future government of the Philippines, the military

jurisdiction for the present continuing in its functionsin the government of the islands, which it will do until

the country is completely pacified. The Civil Com-mision is composed of the following gentlemen :

Ecclesiastical Government.

King Felipe II who called the city of Manilathe head of the Philippines wished it to be the headnot only in the political order, but also in mattersof religion, and to this end sought from Pope Cle^

ment VIII and Apostolic Bull by virtue of whichthe Episcopal See of Manila was elevated to the

category of Metropolitan See of the Philippine

Island, divided into the dioceses of Cebu in the

29

Island of that name, thatof Ncvv Segobia in Vigan,

and that of Nueva Caceres in the Camarines, the num-ber being completed by the Episcopal See of Jaro in

Iloilo, created by Pope Pious XIX in the reign of Isa-

bella II.

The present Archbishop of Manila is the ReverendBernardino Nozaleda de Villa, the diocesis being

governedin his absenceby the Reverend P. L. Chapelle,

Archbishop of New Orleans, who exercises juris-

diction in the Archipelago as Apostolic Delegate to

Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands.

The Metropolitan See of Manila is the only one

in the Philippines having an Ecclesiastical Chapter,

which is composed of the following personal

:

A Dean as President.

An Archdeacon.A Presbytar.

A School-master.A Tresurer.

A Doctoral.

A Magistral. .

Historical Sketch of Commerce in the

Philippines.

The conditions of the Philippine Archipelago

owing to its magniticent geograpliical situation, the

extent of its territory and richness of its soil and sub-

soil, give it the preeminent right to occupy a high

commercial rank among Oriental countries, explain its

past importance and give ground for well foundedhopes for a great future.

The Philippines are apparently a continuation of the

continent of Asia, stretching toward the Caroline andPalao Islands and the great American continent. Theyare the central point of navigation which unites the OldWorld with the new, and would be this centre if their

34badly arranged customs tariff had not given to Hong-kong that which Nature has conceded to the city ofManila.

The Phihppine Archipelago withoutpoHtical unity,with the islcinds opposed to each other, andevenwithinthe regions of a single island implacable hatred and ani-

mosity sustained by the ancient chiefs, it is easy to un-derstand that Philippine commerce prior to the arrival

of the Europeans was nothing more than that imposedby the bare necessities of life.

A new flag, with new men, w4io, from Manila,strove to implant an unknown civilization, attracted theattention of all neighbouring countries and excited bythe novelty they approached, bringing letters of friend-ship and commercial franchises. Thus we see in thehistory of this country, first Cbina,Japan, and Malacca,than the Islands ofJavaandSumatru, and finally Cam-^boja and Bengal send to Manila their vessels ladenwith rich merchandise, which they either sold or ex-

changed for products of the country.As Manila depended polically upon Mexico, its

communication with the City of Mexico was conti-

nuous and regular by means of the famous Acapulcogalleons, which at the same time brought to Manila thelaws of the mother country and provided articles andmanufactures of industrial Europe, returning ladenwith the rich products of the Orient,

The Acapulco galleons were, then, the first link

in the chain of the commerce between the Philippinesand Europe and were also the foundation of the wealthof the city of Manila. At that time there being noother city in the Orient to dispute its supermacy thecity of Manila has been since the Sixteenth Centurythe centre of trade for all articles which are producedand Manufactured in the countries which geographersinclude under the name of Malaysia. Manila was the

commercial deposit of the Orient ; to it came the trade

35

of China with its rich silks, of Japan with its lac-

querware and porcelain, Ceylon with its cinnamon andnutmeg- and other species, India with its treasure of

pearls and precious stones, Bengal with its beautiful

woven cloths, Siam and Camboja with ivory, sandal-

wood and incense and Persia even contributed

its inimitable carpets, rugs and other articles of merit.

This merchandise was purchased in the greater

part by the citizens of the city of Manila, who sent it

to Europe by way of Mexico, the Acapulco galleons

being the means of communications, carrying rich

cargoes, which brought in fabulons profits, returningto Manila laden with large quantities of gold andsilver, which were distributed among the citizens of

this city ; the city paid the State ^7,500 for the useof the galleon, for merchants at that time worked in

unison.

In order that the enterprise might be managed withthe greatest equity, the galleon was gauged in Cavitebefore a board in which the citizens of Manila wererepresented by one of the members of the City Coan-cil, and after the net ceipacity of the vessel was deter-

mined it was distributed pro rata among all the citizens,

who were allowed to ship merchandise in the propor-tion corresponding to them, or to sell it to some otherperson.

The commerce of Manila increased day by dayuntil by the middle of the XVIII Century the cities of

Seville and Cadiz, at that time the emporiums of the

commerce of the Indies, presented to the King a com-plaint stating that the commerce which Manila con-ducted with New Spain injured them to such anextent that they would be obliged to close up their

cloth and silk factories as it was impossible for

them to make headway against competition withgoods imported from the Orient, and although theKing paid heed to these complaints and limited to

36

^250,000 the value of the cargo of merchandise whichthe Acapulco galleans were permitted to take on in

Manila, this commerce continued until the year 181 5,

producing magnificent profits for the citizens of the

city of Manila, who, under the impulse of suchprosperous business, failed to pay the proper amountof attention to the agriculture industry of the countrythe first and principal foundation of wealth in everycountry.

The galleons were succeeded by the ColonialCompany of the Philippines, founded by King Char-les III who granted to it privileges and dispensed all

his royal favor in order that a new and efficacious

impulse might be given to wealth of the Philippines;

but these desires of the Spanish monarch weresoon found to be frustated by the lack of skill of the

managers of this great company, who, appointed per-

haps by favoritism, lacked knowledge necessary to

direct its affairs by an upright administration andalways closed theirs account with enormous losses,

the result being that the company was unable to

make headway against such heav}^ depletions in its

treasury. After continuous and bitter struggles, whichare well worthy of study, the city of Manila finally

succeeded of emancipating itself on the annoyingtutelage of State in Europe, and with newly arousedenergy commenced to enthusiastically develop the

natural resources of the country, and guided by science

again entered upon business enterprises of all kinds,

creating new industries which gave rise to new ques-

tions of law which it was necessary to determine byspecial regulations in order that capital might besecure and operations not exceed the limits of justice.

By Royal Order of the 26th of July of the year 1832the Code of Commerce which had been shortly before

promulgated in Spain, was made extensive in its

application to the Philippines.

37The city being regarded by the new Codes as

a regular municipal corparation, the irritating mono-poly of the powerful and rich become a thing of

the past, and every citizen was at liberty to engage in

commerce and society possessed the well founded hopethat the competition of the many would result in the

benefit of all. Nevertheless, this new regime did not

bring to the Philippines as had been hoped a new com-mercial period, for the custom laws were constantly

operative against it ; these, although bringing somebenefit to the Government in the way of revenue, havealways here as in other countries tended to crush andtrammel commerce by preventing the developmentof the country.

In consequence but few vessels entered Manilabay for fear of the tariff restrictions ; such vessels as

did anchor at this port merely did so for the purposeof taking on Philippine products. A line of frigates

under the Spanish flag ran between Cadiz and Manilaby way of Cape Good Hope and for many years keptManila in regular communication with Europe ; butas these vessels were of an official character they wererather passenger boats for carrying public employeesthan commercial expeditions and although somelittle import and export business v\as carried on with

Spain, commerce in general was inactive and a longperiod was passed in a forced inactivity and the lack of

communication with tiie exterior world prevented the

development of the resources of the country.

But the day soon arrived when the genius of thegreat Leiseps burst the barrier which separated themost beautiful part of the planet from the old continentof Europe, uniting the Mediterranean with the RedSea and thus brought East and West closer togetherand established between them commercial relations

required by the progressive movement of humanity

;

the opening of the Suez Canal is a marked event in

the history of the Phihppines, a date of never-to-be-

forgotten memory, for it ushered in a period of newdevelopment, opening new and wider horizons andthrowing open to this country the aid of powerfulmoral and material influences which will give a strongimpulse to agricultural, industrial and mercantile

development, and will place it in a short time in the

advanced position it deserves to maintain in the civi-

lized world.

At the beginning of the year 1870 the Spanishsteamer " Ebro " arrived in Manila by way of the SuezCanal, being the first steam vessel to make the voyage

;

shortly after in 1872 a line of steamers belonging to.

a commercial firm, of Bilbac was established by whichregular communication was maintained with this

Archipelago and conducted snch an active and im-portant commerce that in three years the capital of the

company was largely increased and the tonnage of the

steamers was augmented from 14,800 to 26,790 tons,

divided among the eight steamers constituting this

line.

As a consequence of the opening of the SuezCanal the coasting merchant marine was considerably

increased and interior commerce was developed withall the points of the Archipelago ; all this was concen-trated in Manila in such proportions that the foreign

commerce of the country rapidly increased and newmarkets were found for its valuable products in the

principal cities of America, Europe and Asia.

With this commercial movement operating in the

Philippines coincided the tremendous impulse in the

development of industry which followed the termina-

39tion of the War of the Rebellion in the United States

and which in a short time produced most marvellousresults. It is strange to observe in the customsstatistics that although Europe had been placed in so

much closer contact with the Philippines, it was notEurope but the United States of America to whichthe greatest amount of Philippine products was ex-

ported, and this fact seemingly signified that Americawould some day be the sovereign power of the Philip-

pines as it was already the dominating influence in

its commerce.

In consonance with the new currents of liberty whichwere brought to the country by the Suez Canal, in June,1 88 1 , the Government removed the monopoly on tobac-

co in the Philippines, opening a wide field to a const-

antly growing commerce; immediately after this eventthe powerful Gompania Tabacalera was founded with acapital stock of fifteen million pesos for the purpose of

engaging in the tobacco business and colonizing exten-sive territory appropriate for the cultivation of the leaf.

The Gompany established a magnificent line of steam-ers, which with all modern improvements, placed thePhilippines in close and rapid communication with the

rest of the world.

The notable increase in the interior traffic of theArchipelago gave rise to new necessities, which re-

sulted in an increase of steamers, and in a short timea numerous and valuable fleet of coasting steamersexisted in the Archipelago, which were a short timeago united under the firm name of '

' Gampafiia Mari-tima," and which with the powerful Gompania Gene-ral de Tabacos, have done a great deal for the trans-

portation business in all parts of the Archipelago andhave given Manila the mercantile importance nowheld by it as the commercial centre of the Orient.

40Such is the commercial past of the Phihppines,

sketched with a bold hand, faithfully showing the

misfortune and vicissitudes which during the evolu-

tion of time have successively detained and retardedthe development of the country and prevented the re-

alization of its highest and most urgent necessities;

but there is no reason to doubt that under the active

and liberal Government of the United States all the

aspirations of this privileged country will be realized

and that thepowerful vitality of the Philippines unitedto the energy of America, will result in a brilliant

future.

The Manila Observatory begin to work in a nonofficial manner in the year 1865, under the direction

of Jesuit Fathers, employed as teachers in their college

in the walled city, generally known as the AteneoMunicipal. They commenced to work on their ownaccount, and their principal object was the study of

the storms called typhoons, so common in these regions.

The first Father who acted as Director of the newObservatory was the Rev. Father Faura, and by his

direction a series of observations were diligently

recorded from September of 1865, but a regular

Monthly Review was commenced at 1870.In the year 1880 telegraphic communication b\^

the cable was established between Manila and Hong-kong, and this event gave a much greater importance to

the already very useful typhoon warnings of Manila.The declaration of the Observatory as an official

department was entirely due to the recommendationsof the Authorities of Manila, and some of its more cons-

picuous residents, especially of merchants and officers

of the Navy. After several sessions, in v\ hich it was felt

by all that he aforesaid was a well promising project it

was finally determined that the private meteorologicalInstitution of the Ateneo Municipal should be convertedinto an official establishment, with two Jesuit Fathers

42has heads of the Observatory, one as Director and the

other as assistant Director, with a convenient numberof employees to work for the good management of the

institution This determination was favourably endorsedby the Governor General of the Philippines, and trans-

mitted to the Goverment at Madrid, where it was finally

sanctioned. The Queen Regent of Spain, issued a

decree dated 28th of April 1884, by which the ManilaObservatory was officially acknowledged as a Gover-ment Institutions, with a regular subvention assigned

for its maintenance.The erection of the minor meteorological stations

was sanctioned by the same decree, and immediatelyput in practice in the island of Luzon, where fourteen

telegraphic stations, the most conveniently situated for

meteorological purposes were provided with all the

meteorological instruments necessar}'. All these sta-

tions were dependant on the Central Observatory of

Manila, with regard to the condition and frequency of

the meteorological reports, that had to be transmitted

to Manila by telegraph.

Here it may be mentioned that by this time Father

Faura invented his aneroid barometer, an instrument

destined to make all persons able to detect the approachof a typhoon almost without any labour; this aneroid is

generally known in the Philippines as the Faura Baro-meter, and has become so popular that it is to be foundin nearly every steamer and in many sailing vessels of

these waters, and in a great many private houses also.

In March of 1886, the Observatory was transferred

from the walled city, to the handsome block of buildings

it now occupies in the suburb of Ermita; this change of

local conditions was much for the better, as every ins-

trument is in its proper place, and the surrounding gar-

dens affordplenty ofspace for outdoor observations: theyare a pleasant surprice also to the many visitors that fre-

quent the observatory. The geographical coordinates of

43the place are long. 8h 3m 54s 2E Green. lat. i4°34'4i"N.

With the removal to the new buildings, a new era

dawned also on th e work of th e Observatory , which gain-

ed a much greater field for investigaciton, with the acces-

sion of two entirely new departments: namely, the Seis-

mical Earthquake department and the Magnetic Observeatory. Tiiesetwo sections were officially recognised bythe Spanish Government on the 28th of October, 1888,and a convenient salary assigned to the officials employ-ed in them. During tlie year 1897, was the finishing

up of the building of the astronomical department.

beginning of the Observatory.Hourly microseismic observations were commenc-

ed in January of 1 88 1 , and in 1 887 the monthly Reviewbegan to be illustrated with the monthly records of

.earthquakes that occur so frequently in some part or

another of the Archipelago.Instruments for direct seismical observations are

these

:

45The horizontal Bertelh microseismometer.One vertical microseismometer.Two ordinary seismometers: one for horizontal,

and another for vertical oscilations.

AstronomicalDepartment.—Since the year6

461 888, the astronomical section has done a twofold veryimportant business, 1st it has given every day the exacthour ot noon, in Manila civil time, 2ndly it has regu-lated nearly all the cronometers ofsteamers and sailing

vessels entering into Manila bay.

This department from its commencement had agood set of astronomical instruments, all of them veryuseful, though not very large.

Further on a transit instruments was acquired.

The final installation and completion of the astro-

nomical department, began to near its end in the year1 894. The section was removed to its own proper build-

ing, a solid construction erected in the grounds of the

observatory. Inside of this construction, there is adepartment destined for chronometers, all of which rest

on a solid base of stone; another department is for themeridian circle, to which a photographic appendix will

be added; here also is the great revolving dome, nearlyten meters wide in its diameter. The bigequatorial teles-

cope that corresponds to this dome, has a focal distance

of seven meters, and the diameter of the large objective

lens is forty-nine centimeters from end to end. The equa-torial telescope has a grand and costly outfit ofadditional

astronomical instruments, the most conspicuous ofwhichare two large spectrographs, one of the Topfer type,

made in Berlin, and the other made in London, byHilger; the latter has a grating three inches long, and is

one of the largest in the world, the Topfer spectrograph

is of the same size as the one he made for the GermanGovernment at Potsdam. There are three other stone

piers in this department, which are to be respectively

occupied by a comet seeker, a small photographic

eqviatorial, and an equally small meridian circle.

Besides all the aforesaid instruments in the astro-

nomical department there is another very important

one which has been in regular use since December of

1895. It is a reflecting zenital photographic telescope^

47and its object is the determination of the latitude andthe study of the variation of the same latitude. It is a

novel instrument, of elegant construction, and inventedhy the Director of the Observatory, Rev. FatherJosephAlgue.

The Manila Observatory has been described at

length, both because it is regarded as the most im-portant scientific institution of its calss in any city of theOrient, and because of the highly important serviceswhich it has rendered the public for many years past byits timely and correct warnings of the formation oVpassage of the terrible cyclones which are unfortunatelyso frequent in these latitudes, thereby preventing as far

as possible their destructive effects, and the desolationand ruin caused by them.

University of St. Thomas.

In the year 1610 tlie Archbisliop Miguel de Bena-vides and the Bishop of Cagayan Father Diego de Soriafounded the College of St. Thomas, to whicii tdeyl)equeathed their libraries and a certain amount ofmoney, wliich was subsequently increased by benevo-lent citizens.

At the petition of King Philip IV o^ Spain PopeInnocent X, raised liis college to the category of anuniversity by a Papal Bull of November 20, 1645,granting it tlie title of "Pontifical University."

48By Royal Cedula of the 22nd November, 1732, the

King granted the University the right to maintain pro-

fessorships of civil and canon law, and His Holiness

Clement X, by Papal Bull of September 2 , 1 734, grantedauthority to tlie college to confer degrees in these facul-

ties and also in the faculties of philosophy and theolog\\

Finally, King Charles III by Cedula of March 7,

1785, conferred upon the College the additional title of

"Royal," raising it to the rank of the highest univer-

sities in the Monarchy.The vmiversity is under the direction of the Domi-

nican friars. The courses in which instruction was givenin the university during the Spanish domination are

philosophy, theology, canon and civil law, and notarial

drafting on the same plan of study as that followed in

Spain; in addition there were courses given in medicineand pharmacy in the College of San Jose, whichwas dependent upon the University of Santo Thomas.

College of San Juan de Letran.

This important establishment was founded withthe title of '^College of Saint Peter and Saint Paul" in

the year 1640 for the purpose ofgiving primary instruc-

tion to poor children and orphans of Spanish parents;

its founders were the Spaniards Juan Geronimo Guer-rero and Father Diego de Santa Maria, an ecclesiastic

of the Dominican Order whose corporation took special

care of this establishment, which from the year 1683lias been known as the College of San Juan de Letran.

By the passage of time this establishment has beenobliged to change its originalorganization and natives

of the islands have been admitted; important improve-ments have been introduced to keep the college up with

the advantages of the age and of recent years this col-

lege has become one of the best institutions of learning

in the extreme East.

49The college is provided with sufficient scientific

material for the teaching of the higher grades, andpossesses excellent chemical, physical and natural

history laboratories, and also a library, academy of

fine arts, study halls, studies for painting and drawing,a beautiful chapel and magnificient public hall andeverything required by an establishment of its class.

Recently tlus college counted tvvo hundred boardingscholars and fifty-four hundred and seven day-scholars

on its rolls, which fact speaks highly for the scientific

and religious training received in it.

Course of Study.

The school year commences in this college on the

1st July and terminates in the middle of March. Matri-

culation is open for primary and secondary grades onthe I St ofJune and closes on the 1 5th ofJuly. Primaryinstruction includes four classes, which are : LowerClass ; Elementary Class ; Upper Class and Prepara-tory Course for the Second Grade.

This includes five cources leading up to tlie degreeof B.A., during which instruction is given in all

branches included in the studies assigned to the re-

quirements of this degree.

Special Studies.

Special instruction is also given leading up to

tlie degrees such as mercantile experts, surveyor, me-chanical experts, and finally there are in this college

classes of fine arts, including music, drawing, stenogra-

phy, telegraphy and gymnastics, and also an acadamy

50

of languages, in which French, Enghsh, Japanese,Chinese and Tagalo are taught.

The school year begins in the middle of June andterminates about the middle of March following.

From the first day of June matriculation is openfor all, and some eight days before opening of the newcourse entrance examinations are held for candidates,for admission to the first year of the elementarycourse and lower for those who did not take the ex-amination in March or failed to obtain a sufficiently

high grade.

The practical schools for boys mentioned opensthe same day as the other public schools of Manilaand surrounding districts.

Nautical School for the Philippine Island.

The school was opened on December 15th, 1899^vmder the direction of Lieutenant Commander V. L.Cottman, U.S. Navy. It was opened with twenty-twopupils. The school building is admirably adapted to

the purpose.

Lieutenant Commander Cottman was relieved onDecember 23rd, 1899 by the present Director, Lieu^tenant George F. Cooper, U.S. Navy.

The system of instruction and discipline in theschool are based upon that of the U.S. Naval Academy.The instruction is as thorough as it is possible to makeit under present conditions. Monthly examinationsare held at the end of each scholastic month ; semi-annual examinations at the end of the month ofNovember ; and annual examinations at the end of theschool year, the last of March.

The pupils are given all the practical work possi-

ble both in seamanship and Navigation. Later is

hoped that the school will be provided with a smallvessel in which the pupils may take cruises in the

vacation months and also short trips in the Bay duringthe year.

The pupils of the first year are designated ThirdClass and are instructed in Arithmetic, Algebra, Eng-lish, Geography and elementary Drawing. The pupils

of the second year compose the Second Class and are

instructed in Geometry, Trigonometry, English, Me-chanics, (Elementary) Geography and Drawing. Thepupils ofthe third year constitute the First Class and the

subjects of their instruction are :—Spherical Trigono-metry, Nautical Astronomy, Navigation, Hydrography^Seamanship and English ; also Chart Construction

.

All classes are given Practical Seamanship.The object of the School is to graduate young men

thoroughly acquainted with the theory and practice of

Navigation and Seamanship, so that they may, in ashort time, with the experience gained on board sea

going ships, become able to handle a ship on anyseas or in any part ofthe world.

Municipal Atheneuni of Manila.

This institution of learning was established in the

year 1859, at which time, at the request of the City

Council of Manila, the missionaries of the Jesuit cor-

poration took charge of the charity school ; the cha-

racter of the institution at the present time dates fromRoyal Order ofthe Spanish Government ofthe 20th of

May, 1865.The professors in charge of different parts of the

62

when the first submarine cable was laid, placing

Manila in'communictation with Hongkong from Bo-linao in the province ofZambales. The line was openedto the public in May of the same year and in March,1898, permission was granted for its removal to

Manila, the cable being brought ashore at Malate,

where the offices of the Company where opened to

the public service at the end of that month.The Visayas cable was inuagurated in October,

1897, and in the month of November following wasopened to the public. The central station was es-

tablished in Real street, Malate, in the building

now numbered 545. For the convenience of the pu-

blic there is a branch office of the cable companyat Anloague No. 69. The Company also has stations

at Iloilo, Bacolod and Cebu.

In writing concerning tlie industries established

in this Archipelago it is regrettable tliat it is necessary

to state that the Islands have made little or no advan-

cement in this regard for the work of manufacture is

almost entirely limited to individual efforts, steam en-^

gines and machinery which so greatly increase the

output at productive industry being very scarse in this

country.The Philippines for the present time are rather a

wast center of production for raw materials whichwill supply future industries, because for the explo-

tation and development of the great riches whichmight be taken from the soil and sub-soil it is

necessary to count upon the assistance of capital andmachinery.

When one compares the varied manufacturesturned out by the natives and the perfection in

which they imitate any work of art, no matter howcomplicated it may be, with the rudimentary instru-.

68

ments which they use for this work, it must be acknow-ledged that the Fihpinos are as industrious as anyother people. Their carpentry and cabinet makingwork, weaving, jewlry making, dyeing and others

are conclusive proofs of this statement which onthe other hand is justified by the well meritedreputation which the Philippine Islands have gainedat the two. Expositions at which they have been offi-

cially represented.

Industry is supported by the initiative of the few,

the capital of many, andtlie support of all, and withoutthis triplicate element, without the association of the

capitalists and without the cooperation even of the

natives, industries are found to be what they werea short time ago in the Philippines, "beautiful se-

pulchres in which are laid to rest a great thought anda small capital."

There has been no lack of men from time to

time who have been plainly the great profits whichmight be realized by the establishment in the Phi-

lippines of certain industries; they have presentedtheir ideas with the lucidity of common sense, prac-

tice and experience, but when appl3'ing to capitalists

for the necessary assistance they have always beenmet with indifference, and thus the gigantic projects

which might have been realized were never carried

out, but in some instances have even been the ruin-

ation of their initiators.

It is a condition imposed perhaps by the Su-preme Being that mankind does not always find

combined in the same individual the creative idea

and the executive capital, and honce the necessity

of association.

The natives of this country being accustomedto the abundant crops which with the little workthey receive from fertile soil, are but little givento expending the energy which is characteristic of

69

an energetic people and are always suspicious of

any innovation. In consequence scarcely any sup-

port has been giveng in this country to those whohave made scientific attempts to build factories, for

the people, in their shortsightedness, have failed to

see that a factory is to society what the sun is to

the physical world.

Owing to this lack of industries. the Philippines

continue to pay large sums of money for importedarticles, the raw material of which is abundantlyproduced here; among these are woven fabrics,

iron mongery, canned food products, licors, hides etc.

Another article which is specially worthy ofmention is paper which like the other articles men-tioned as now imported as though the best of ma-terials for making paper from the finest to the

lowest grade were not to be found here in abundance.

Fortunately, however, impelled by the individ-

ual force of progress, the Philippines have duringthe last few years felt that industrial movementwhich always precedes great transformation in nat-

ions; the initiative once begun has been success-

fully followed and the few failures suffered by man-ufactories have not prevented others from contin-

uing with their enterprises and seeing their labors

crowned by a successfully installed factory operatingregularly and paying satisfactory dividens on the

capital invested.

Among these industries the following are worthyof mention:

Factories ofHemp Cordage.—This industryhas reached a high stage of perfection and it maybe stated that there is not an arsenal or manufac-turing center in Europe which can turn out better

cable and rope than that sent from the Philippines, the

70fact that the amount exported increases every yearbeing evidence of the esteem in which this article

is held abroad.

Saw Mills.—In a country where building re-

quire to be renev\ed with great fraquency owing to

losses by fire and earthquake and which on theother hand counts upon forest of immense ricliess

in timber, the use of saw mills is a necessity bothfor building purposes in the towns and for navalconstruction. There are a few saw mills in this

city which are equal to the best in Europe andwhich are giving very satisfactory results.

Pressed Cement and Imitation Stone.—Two factories of this class have been establishedhere during the last few years in which work of ahigh class has been turned out of which the Paro-chial Vicafage of the Agustinians of this Capital is

good evidence as also the new seminary, which are

a credit to these factories and assure them a pros-

perous future.

Destilleries.—The destilation of alcohol hasreacled a high degree of perfection in the Philip-

pines tanks to the important establishments whichare in operation here with modern machinery. Bymeans of scientific methods and excellent quality of

wines and liquors, perfectly clarified, and equal ia

strength to the best in Europe, have been madefrom the sugar cane, the result being highly bene-ficial to the country not only by reducing the amountwhich was formerly expended for the importation of

these products but also because the}^ have placedon the market a product of unquestionable goodnessand purity.

71

Cloth Mills.—The weaving of cotton and hempfabrics with a mixture of silk andjusi of varied patt-

erns and well combined colors for use as dress patt-

erns, shirts, etc., is an old established industry in

many provinces of the Archipielago. A beautiful

cloth is also made from the fibre of the pineapple

plant which brings a bigh price. The provinces of

Iloilo, Camarines and Albay are preeminent in workof this kind and the provinces of Ilocos Norte andIlocos Sur are noted for their manufactures of wooland cotton fabrics, which are much sought after

for their strength and endurance. These productsare truly admirable and their perfection is amazingwhen compared with the imperfect looms and ru-

stic instruments used in the manufacture. A great

future is evidently in store for this industry wheneversteam or hydraulic power is introduced and the

rest of the improvements of modern industry; the

Islands can then count upon another article of ex-

port wliich at the present time is enterely devoted to

domestic consumption.

The Weaving of Palm Leaf Fihre.—Theperfection with \Yhich hats, cigarette cases, mats,curtains and other delicate articles of a similar nat-

ura are made from the fibres of nipa, buri, buntaland other palm leaves, in the several towns of Pan-gasinan, Bulacan and Tayabas, is worthy of note.

These products are adorned with artistic patterns ofvaried colors, which greatly increase their merit,

many of them being justly admired and sold for

high prices. In the island of the Burias and Mas-bate mats are manufactured on a large scale fromthe palm leaf, and are sold in the Visayas and Manilafor use in packing sugar. These mats, perhaps onaccount of the slowness with which they are made,have not yet been made an article of export. The

72

hats, however, have been exported largely and bringa good price. During the last quarter of 1899 ten

thousand nine hundred and twenty six kilograms of

them were exported to Hongkong, Singapore andBarcelona.

Ship Building.—In addition to the Canacaoship yard in Cavite where coasting steamer go for

cleaning and general repairs, there are also small

stocks in other parts of the Archipielago, operatedwith a scanty force of workmen, in which ship build-

ing is carried on. In the towns of Palatuan in Al-

bay, Magallanes and Bulan of Sorsogon, Unisanand Pitogo in Tayabas, Ragay of Camarines Surand many other place some excellent pilot boats,

schooners, brigs, and even steamer have been cons-

tructed with the excellent timber which is at liand

in abundant quantities in the places indicated. Theseboat many of which are still in use, have given ex-

cellent results bot with regard to the solidity of

their construction and the relatevely economicalcoats. Til is industry is bound to greatly increase

whenever capital is available to instal saw mill machi-nery, set up the necessary apparatus and establish

complete work shops with all the modern improve-ments of ship building.

Finally, there is another industry, the manufac-ture of oils and soaps, some of which are of excel-

lent quality; and the distillation of a liquor from thenipa palm, which properly clarified is without thecharacteristic odor which makes it so dsiagreeablefor public consumption.

Tobacco Industry.—When the excellent ap-tness of the Filipinos is considered for all kinds of

manufacturing and mechanical work as also their

faculty of imitating to perfection delicate work, it

73can easily be understood that the tobacco industryhas reached a high state of development in thePhilippines. In the most important factories the ce-

lebrated Manila cigars are manufactured under the

direction of Cubam-overse ers and New York super-

intendents. A class of cigars is produced the ex-

cellent quality of which looses nothing by compa-rison with the best of the Cabanas and Vueltabajoof the Island of Cuba. In the same way the handmanufacture of cigarrettes is so perfectly conductedthat it is difficult to note the difference between themand the| best machine made cigarettes. The pac-kages in which they are put are also worthy of re-

mark for their excellent taster and elegance.The output of the Philippine factories which is

as justly esteemed in all the markets of Americaand Europe assure for tliis industry great prosperity.

Whit this we will bring this sketch of theindustries of the Philippines to an end. Althoughsome of them are as yet but of small importance,on the other hand others which were commencedonly yesterday give promise of a prosperous future.

As soon as capital and machinery come to the aidof these struggling industries aprosperous and luc-

rative future is assured them and the general inte-

rests of the country are bound to be considerablyincreased.

DESCRIPTION

OF THE

Principal "Pommercial Product?

A country wliicli like the Philippines is exposedvertical rays of the tropical sun and which is con-stantly fanned by ocean breezes and is acted uponby the iufluence of the varying winds which cons-titute the monsoons, crossed by a myriad of rivers,

fertiliced by the franquet rains and perpetual dewwhich its forests attract, covered by a trick stratumof organic matter deposited by the passage of cen-turies, must of necessity occupy the highest possible

grade which regard to fertility of soil.

There are is nothing more marvellous or sur-

prising than the fertility "of the Philippines, whetherin the part wliich borders the shores in the higheror in the mountains. The most varied products ofthe torrid zone are found disseminated in abundance

75

everywhere, and there are not lacking many other

plants peculiar to the temperate zones, and evensome which more properly belong to the cold of

northern countries when produced in the Philippines

develop and even give fruit if the inteligence of

man attends to them with solicitous care.

Notwithstanding the natural advantages of the

country, it is a fact that these Islands althoughmore fertille than the majority of countries producemuch less tham others which enjoy far less favorable

conditions, to such an extent that with the excep-

tion of a few articles, of which description will begiven and which are exported, the Philippines are

obliged to import annually over a millon of hecto-

liters of rice, this grain being the principal foodsubstance of all the natives.

It is true that the suferficial area of the countryis almost equal to that of Italy but less than Englandand Ireland and six times greater than Belgium;still it is not in proportion to tiie density of its po-pulation, for while Italy has twenty six millon mha-bitans, the United Kingdom thirty two and Belgiumsix millon, the Philippines have barely eight milloninhabitants, and even although this great dispropor-

tion may not satisfactorily explain the enormousamount of importation, it is at least one reason for

the lack of agricultural development.

The lack of industries and more especially those

derived from agriculture, as we shall have occasionto observe, explain this apparent absurdity that acountry with so rich a soil as this is nevertheless

poor.

The nature of this work prevents a detailed and,

minute description of all the products of the Philip^

76

pines, and hence we will only speak of the mostimportant, which we will divide into three groupsfor a better understanding, those which are the mostimportant in Philippine export commerce being in-

cluted under the first heading, under the secondthose which are the object of a special and limitedcommerce, and finally others which although at thepresent time are not exported are still in great de-mand in the commerce of the country.

First Group

Hemp.—(Musa textilts)

The plant for which this valuable fibre is extractedis exclusively peculiar to the Philippines; it is oneof the various species of the banana which growsand develops on high, broken, damp ground, andis produced almost all aver the Archipelago althoughthe most productive Province are Albay, Leyte,Samar, Tayabas, Romblon, and the great island ofMindanao.

The little island of Marinduque produces thebest grade of hemp, which is known as qiiilot; this

fibre being exceedingly fine, white and silk}^ is usedexclusively in weaving fabrics and its price is muchhigher than the ordinary hemp.

The fibre is taken from tlie plant in a very pri-

mitive manner; the natives make a home-made frameupon which a knipe is fastened by which the fila-

ment is freed in an imperfect manner from thestem, and then spread in the sun until perfectly

dry. This proceeding in addition to being very la-

borious and slow spoils a large quantity of filaments.

77The fibres are generally from two to three yardsin length, are ^^hite, fine and strong, but sometimesknives with a slightly serrated edge are used andthis is what prevents the fibre from being freed fromthe woody part of the stock and it soom turns redon account of the damness it containe; this gradeis the ordinary quality of hemp known as lupison.

In the principal markets of Europe and NorthAmerica the demand for this valuable fibre is cons-

tantly increasing owing to the many uses to whichit is put industries^ more especially for wrapping tlie

submarine cables, the manufacture of cordage, wovenfabrics and many other uses which require enor-

mous quantities of the fibre, the price of which in

the Manila market during a period of ten years hasrisen from ^ lo to J§28 a picul of five arrobas of

twenty five pounds.The preceding statements concerning the pro-

duction and exportation of this article are confirmedby the following statistical data covering the last

five years:

Sugar.—(Saccharum officinanwi.)

Among the various saccharine plants producedin the Philippines is the sugar cane, of which tereare five classes: The Zambales cane, known forits softness; red cane, which gives good sugar, com-mon in the vicinty of Manila; white cane, culti-

vated in the Laguna and Batangas districts; stri-

ped, which is very scarce; and the brown or Ba-tavia sugar cane, superior for the richness and abun-dance, of the juice.

The provinces of Iloilo, Cebu and Negros andsome of the provinces of Luzon are the most rich

and productive points for the production ot sugar;

although centrifugal steam machinery is used for

the extraction of the sugar, the method is never-

theless very deficient for the reason that the cru-

sing of the cane by means of a mill only yields

five per cent of the sugar, ten per cent remainingin the crushed cane refuse; then again, when the

cane juice is subjected to a temperature of 1 80 de-

grees a large part of the sugar does not crystalize

and is converted into molasses, taking on a darkred color, which considerably reduces its marketvalue.

^ Notwithstanding these difficulties the increase

in the production of sugar is constantly noted andit is now one of the most important articles of Phip-

pines commerce ; over thirteen millon dollars per

annum are realized, the principal markets beingthe United States, England, continental Europe,,

Australia, China and Japan, as shown by the fo-

llowing table of exportation for the las five years:

Tobacco .

—

(Nicotiana tobacum .)

This valuable plant is one of the most importantarticles of Philippine commerce; it is successfully

cultivated in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Nueva Ecija,

the Igorrote settlements in Abra and Lepanto, theislands of Masbate, Romblon and Visayas, and es-

pecially in the beautiful fields of Cagayan and Isa-

bela in Luzon, where the greatest quantity and bestquality of tobacco is produced. The tobacco prod-uced in these regions is equal incuality to tiie bestCuban output.

The tobacco plant has an approximate heightof from one meter and eighty centimeters to twometers. The leaves are generally about one-half ameter in length by ten, twelve or fifteen centimetersin with and are of a brigth green color.

The system of cultivating the plant in the Phi-lippines does not differ much from that in Cuba, for

while preparations are being made for growing by

8o

extracting weeds from tlie soil and removing insects

and worms, the plants are prepared in nurseries

under the shade of awnings to protect the youngplant from the action of the sun. The plants are

transplanted to the field two months after sowing;a month after transplantation of the tobacco the top

is cropped and the leaf commences to ripen. Whenripe the leaf is cut and hung in the warehousesused for curing.

When the leaves are perfectly dry they on adark color and are then packed in large bundlescovered with a piece of matting. These have to beturned every twenty days to prevent the tobaccofrom fermenting, and finally when the leaves are in

proper condition for manufacture thd are tiet in

bundles of lOO each, assorted according to size, andmade up into compressed bales weighing from twoto four quintals each and are ready for exportation.The following table shows what has been the expor-tation of this article in the last five years:

Cocoanut.—(Cocus miicifera.)

This valuable tree which yields great variety

of useful products grows in almost all parts of the

Archipielago but is found in greatest abundance andrichness in the province of Tayabas, Laguna, Samar,Leyte and Romblon, in which it is a most importantarticles of commerce.

The cocoanut palm requires dry^ sandy soil

and gives best results when near the seashore. Thetree is grown by planting a cocoanut when ripe andin seven or eight years commences to bear fruit in

close bunches of ten or more cocoanut. Whenthe cocoanut is ripe is and falls got the ground thehusk is removed, thi being usesd largely in the is

lands for caulking vessels. The shells of the co-

coanut is then split and the mea of the nut is

taken out and dried in the sun and is then knownas coprax. This coprax is shipped to Europe andthe cocoanut oil extracted, wliich is largely usedfor lubricating machinery, illumination^ perfumeryand in other branches of industry.

The price of this product in the Manila mafketis about ^6 a picul, with a constantly increasing

demand; tlie exportation of copraz during the last

five years is shown by the following table:

Coffee.—(Coffea arabiga.)A great many parts of the Philippines produce

the coffee shrub. For its cuhivation scarcely anycare is required except during the first period of

growth when is requires the shade of other threes

and protection against weeds.Til is rich berry has been one of the most im-

portant articles of commerce in Batangas, Cavite,

Abra, Lepanto, Cebu, Zamboanga and Mindanao,but in the last twelve years its production has de-

creased so much, especially in the last two provin-

ces, that at the present time the bush is almostentirely extinct owing to an insect which at tacks

the root inflicting the same ravages upon the coffee

bush as the filoxera does upon the grape vine.

In the year of 1883 7.622,789 kilograms wereexported from the Philippines, and fourteen yearsafterwards, in 1897, only 100,000 kilograms of this

article were exported, the decadence being veryrapid as is shown by the following table:

Indigo .

—

(Indigofera tintorea.

)

Indigo is a plant easily cultivated in the Philip-

pines and resists the greatest heat ; it is preparedby very primitive methods and its production hasdiminished considerably although it is still grownin large quantities in Laguna, Pangasinan and Ilocos,

Indigo grown in the Philippines is superior in

quality to that of Hindustan, and brings in the

Manila market §55 per picul for first class, §50per picul for second class, and § 40 per picul for third

class. This being one of the articles which aremonopolized by the Chinese and is dealt in exclus^

ively by them.

Mother of Pearl.—(Meleagrina margatifera Urn)

The waters of this Archipielago abound in shells

fish of sue rare species and of such varied usesthat it is amazing to run over the list which, commenc-ing with the Taclobo (tridiana gigas lim) terminates

in the diminutive Sigay (cyproca moneta lim) whichis found in the Visayan waters in great quantities

and for a long time served the purpose of coin in

these Oriental regions.

With the exception of sell fish used for food,

the greater par are collected by the natives for the

sake of the shell, which is liighly esteemed in the

Oriental markets and in Europe for incrustations in

carved woods and for other ornamental purposes.

The mother of pearl is known to the natives bydifferent names, and although it is found in almostall of the waters of the Philippine Islands, it is

85

especially abundant in the southern part of the Ar-chipielago, Jolo, Surigao and Calamianes being theonly places where shell fishery is carried on at the

present time. Not only for the sake of the pearls

which are of fair size and of excellent quality, butmore especially for the shell, to which medicinalqualities are attributed, although, perhaps, this belief

is not supported by science.

Mother of pearl is quoted in the market of Ma-nila at ^55 to §60 per picul, and black shells are

worth from g 36 to ^40 per picul. This article is

also exclusively dealt in by the Chinese, its export-

ation for the last five years being shown by the

Tortoise Shell.—(Chilouc imtricata lim.)

Another article of exportation is tortoise shell.

The transparent shell of the tortoise is called.

Modern science, contrary to vulgar opinion, hasincluded this animal in the genus reptiles; two species

of families are known, being in commerce namedlarge and small tortoises.

86

The shell of the latter is more valuable in com>merce than that of the other shell as it is moretransparent and much thicker and consequently is

adaptable to many other uses of greather utility andelegance; it is largely used in industry.

The natives of the islands of Jolo, Paragua,Surigao, and Calamianes are those engaged in this

lucrative commerce; the tortoise shell brings an ex-

cellent price in the Manila market and is quoted at

^7.50 per kilogram for the first class, ^6 per kilo-

gram for the second, and ^ 4 for the thir class.

This is another article exclusively monopolized bythe Chinese.

Edible birds Nests.

In the southern islands of this Archipelago andespecially in the Calamianes Islands, is found a smallbird, which is held in high esteem, not for the del-

icacy, of its flesh, the brilliancy of its plumage orthe harmony of its song, but, singularly enough,solely for its nest.

This bird is known in Natural History as Col-localia troflodytes^ and by the natives of the Cala-mianes by the name of Salaganm. It builds its

nest among the rocks near the seashore, the mat-erial used by it being a delicate fibre, of snowywhiteness, which it makes either from the sea foamor from marine plants, and with it is weaves a cyl-

indrical nest some ten centimeters in length andslightly curved in the shape of a segment of acircle. This is fastened by one of the fibres to therock and the nest hangs suspended freely.

At the sight of this beautiful and delicate work,in wliich are combined all the figures of geometry,it is difficult to believe that this is the work of a bird

87

and that its purpose is to serve as a deposit for the

bird's eggs ;nevertheless this is a fact, and this nest

is a valuable article of export to other countries,

where it is used as an article of food and is consid-

ered to be so nourishing that many people believe

that there is no food substance superior to it.

Dissolved in hot water this nest gives out anoily substance, which is highly nutritious, with noneof the objectionable factures of meat for the delicate

stomach ; on this account it was first used exclus-

ively as a diet for the sick, but subsequently cameto be regarded as a delicacy and is eaten as suchby the mandarins and magnates of China, who payfor it the highest prices.

In the Manila market these edible nests whenbrought from the Calamianes are worth §45 to ^50dollars a picul; those coming from Zamboanga beingof inferior quality bring lower prices. This business

being exclusively in the bands of the Chinese.

Balate.—(Holoturia scahra^ j^^S^^'-)

Balate is somewhat similar to the edible nest

on account of its value and also because of the

place in which it is found; it is a species of worm,of an oblong figure, some fifteen centimeters in

length and eight centimeters in thickness, beingfound on reefs which are submerged at high water.

No organs can be distinguished in it and noshell protects it; only from its movements can it

be placed in the animal kingdom. Its exterior as-

pect shows it to be a small substance somewhatviscous, which the Chinese esteem very highly as

a delicacy. Although they sometimes eat it raw theygenerally prefer it dried, and for this purpose is

sometimes cut in longitudinal sections, and after

being smoked by resinous woods possesses an ex-

cellent taste.

88

The value of tliis article in the market is from

^35 and ^40 a picul; abroad, especially in China,high prices are to be had for this article, and con-sequently commerce in it is almost exclusively in

the hands of the Chinese.

Third Groupr

Rice.

—

(Oryza sativa.)

This cereal is the principal article of food of

the Philippine people and is produced more or less

in all the Archipielago althougii the provinces whichgrow the largest crops of this grain are Pangasinan,Ilocos, Zambales, Antique and Camarines, fromwhich places it is brought into the Manila marketand is generally quoted at from ^4 to §6 a cavan.

Tiiere are two species of rice,-highlands andirrigated. In many places where the latter class is

grown two and even three crops are produced ayear, but in all parts of the Islands the work of

planting, gathering and thrashing the grain is car-

ried on in a very primitive and rudimentary manner.If the land were cultivated with steam plows andthe crop gathered by means of modern machinery,the increase in profits would doubtless be immense.

Nevertheless there are over one hundred dif-

ferent varieties of this grain, from the finest supe-

rior quality to the red and blanck rice which al-

though very nutritous is used only by the lower

classes. The total production of rice is large but it

is not sufficient to supply the local demands of the

Archipielago and hence is not exported but on the

contrary is imported in large quantities from China.

The following table will show the amount of rice

89

imported to the Philippines from Saigon during the

Cotton.

—

(Gossypiinn Arboreum.)

The plant which produces cotton is a shurbbarely two yards in height, of slim trunk, whichproduces a fruit about the size of a small lemon,which the Tagalos call bulac and the Visayans Gapas.When ripe the fruit opens and shows the white, fine

cotton attached to small black seeds, which are the

natural means of propagation.It is very abundant in the Philippines, where it

grows wild, especially in the Visayas. In Iloilo andCebu large quantities of cotton are gathered andsome very good fabrics are woven from it, as also

in several provinces of Luzon, especially in Ilocos

Norte and Ilocos Sur. In these latter provinces anumber of different kinds of fabrics are woven bythe natives, some of them being of great merit.

It is much to be regretted that this valuableplant is not given more attention in the Philippines,

for up to the present time there are no large cot-

ton plantations although owing to the ease of its

production it might with a little care become in a

90short time one of the greatest sources of wealth of

the Archipelago.

Cocoa.—(Theobrama cacao Lim.)This plant is a native of Mexico, but has been

grown very successfully in the Philippines, whereit is quite abundant. The fruit fragant, oily andsubstantial, being equal to the best Caracas cocoa,

but notwithstanding this fact but little attention hasbeen devoted to it and there are no large plantations

of this valuable product.

Batangas, Laguna, Cavite and other provincesof Luzon produce the shrub, but it is most frequently

found in the Visayas and more especially in the

great Island of Mindanao which produces a verysuperior quality of the cocoa. This article whichcould be made of great importance is not exportedas the entire product is at the present time consumedin the Archipelago. In the market of Manila it

brings from ^55 to ^60 per cavan.

Woods.This is one of the greatest sources of wealth

the Philippines and constitutes an important branchof commerce. A great variety of fine timber suit-

uble for all kinds of building is found in the forests

of the Archipielago. This source of wealt might bedeveloped to a far greater extent if it were not for

the difficulties encountered in the way of transport-

ation to shipping points.

Numbers of lumber camps have been establihsed

in different provinces of the Archipielago, the mostimportant being the ports of Laguimanoc, Pitogo andUnisan, in Tayabas; Ragay, Panganiran and Cara-moan, in Camarines; Pinamalayan and port of Galeraof Mindoro; several ports in Masbate and Ticao;Samar, Leyte, and especially in Mindanao, where aperfect treasure-house of valuable forest trees exists.

91

From these different places cargoes of the follwing

named wood are brought to Manila.Molave.—(Vitexa tissima) A very hard durable

wood of yellowish color, used for all kinds of buil-

ding; its value in the Manila market is from ^l.8oto §2.00 per cubic foot according to class.

Tindalo.— (Afzelia homboidea Vidal) A redwood, hard and fine, useful for furniture makingand building of all kinds; its value in the Manilamarket is from $1.70 to ^2.00 per cubic foot.

Ebony.—(Dios pyros Ebenaster) A black wood,fine and hard, much use in fine cabinet work its

value in the Manila market is not cuoted.

Ipil.—(Afzelia bijuca) A dark red color wood,very hard, and excellent for building purposes of

all kinds; its value in the Manila market is from§1.50 to % 2.00 per cubic foot.

Narva.—(Peterocarpos imuneus) A| wood of areddish yellow color, fine and used for building andcabinet work; its value in the Manila market is

from % 1.75 to $2.00 per cubic foot.

CaLantas.—(Cedrela toona) Color dark red, light

and hard; used for ship building and cabinet work;its value in the Manila market is from ^ 1.80 to

^2.00 per cubic foot.

Acle.—(Pithecolobium acle, Vidal) A wood of

dark color strong and hart, useful for building of

all kinds; its value in the Manila market is from$1.30 to $1.75 per cubic foot.

Dongon.— (Sylvatica, Vidal) Of dark color,

strong and hart, used for building purposes; its

value in the Manila market is from ^ 1.50 to ^ 1.75per cubic foot.

Lauan.—(Ansopera taurifer) A hard and fibrous

wood, used for shipbuilding; its value in the Manilamarket is from 50 to 75 cents per cubic foot.

Palomaria.—(Calophyllum inopillum) Used for

92

shipbuilding; its value in the Manila market is 75cents per cubic foot.

Mangachapoy.—(Shorea magachapoy) A goodwood, used for the masts of vessels and shipbuildingin general; its value in the Manila market is from75 cents to ^ 1.00 per cubic foot.

Giiijo.—(Shorea robusta) There are two kindsof this wood, white and red, used for buildingpurposes of all kinds; its value in the Manila mar-ket is 75 cents to % i per cubic foot.

Baticulin.—(Litsea obtusata) Light, hard wood,used for flooring and cabinet work; its value in theManila market is from 50 to 75 cents per cubic foot.

The prices quoted above vary according to thequantity, quality and dimensions of the lumber; theimmediate demand in the market for certain classesalso having a strong bearing on the price.

It is to be observed that prior to the year 1898the prices in this market of the woods named werefrom twenty five to fifty cents per cubic foot.

Mastic, guns and Rosin.

Following commercial usage, the division ofthese three products may be accepted although it is

scarcely scientific, and under these names may be in-

cluded every substance segregated from wood of trees

whether produced naturally or by artificial means.Both mastic and rosin of delicate aroma are

found abundantly in the forests of the Philippinesand it is not rare to find regular deposits of these

substances which have been formed at the foot of

trees by the course of time. The natives use masticfor fumigation and other medicinal uses and userosin for illuminating purposes in their houses andon their voyages by land and sea.

The forests of the Archipelago are rich in

many varities of the Capilionaceos^ Gutiferos^ Comi-

93feras and Disterocarpeas families^ and hence it is

logical to infer that if rosin is gathered in large

quantities gums will not be less plentiful as theyare also the product of the same tree, a crystalline,

odorless gum, easily soluble in water and knownto commerce as gum arable; gutta percha, gum-amoniac, largely used in medicine, copal gum andgutta perclia^ all these are found in the forests of

the Philippines, although having been but little ex-

ploited commerce in these articles has not the im-portance which it should have and which the valueof these products warrants.

The natives of the southern islands are familiar

with the preparation of a product made with gumand \^hich is very similar to that called gumaline,so largely used in painting, and they use it for

preventing their weapons rusting and for poli-

shing wood, first tinging it the desired color, whichthe gumaline makes firm and brilliant.

Almost all of the commerce in this article is

conducted in the interior of the islands, among theinhabitants of the forests and the Chinese who live

in the neighboring towns, and who bring it to

Manila, more or less adulterated, for exportation.

A close and exhaustive study of the Philippineforests is necessary to show the great amount ofwealth which exists both in these articles and in

the medicinal substances there in contained, whichat the present time are exported with great loss

to public wealth of the islands and with little credit

to the inhabitants who thus show their ignoranceof the products of their own country.
