Jr FEATURES OF THE PHILIPPINES, j pal ! the Richest Island in the World and the e<l Most Beautiful. the va< Commodore Dewey's conquest of 8j.x Mnilla brings a new territory into pCi , the possession of the United States, th< one of which the general American jn, ? people know nothing. Something of w.' the characteristics of the Islands. < which may be called the "Paradise of no f the East Indies," and of their history ;n) wm .b?part1cu|.rl7,ntere,tlng?[ ^ , r,iei.r '"story dates back to 1 /S21 .bc wbenibev woro ,i;QO???r, yj ' lir compaiiied by a handful of Spanish fu soldiers and St. Augustine monks ,j, took posscss'ou in the name of Spain, y The conquest was bloodless and was ^ \ singularly free from the cruelty and s greed which marked similar Spanish s colonization elsewhere. The monks r /were actuated by a sincere desire to j convert the natives and cultivate the , islands in their interest. The early liistory was singularly peaceful and under the Papist rule, Manilla sprang up a mocl capital and an industrious town. It was situated on the island of Luzon, the largest of the group. Surrounding it were more than a thou?and smaller isles, some forty of *1? were rapidly colonized. The 0.--0 extent of tlic gr< up was i.u.jo iU..v. l>v TOO miles, from the China Sea on the north, south and west to the Pa, eific Ocean on the east. The group lay southeast of Hong Kong, the nearest continental city, some 050 miles distance. The hay of Manilla furnished nr admirable harbor and soon becaini one of the most beautiful in the world The first impressions today arc nc pleasing, but acquaintance soon er gendeaed a love for the spaciot place. The distant mountain so rounding* are fine, hut the shop are low. the vegetation seamy, on redeemed from monotony by gron uf bamboos and palms. As o enters the city the filthy moat, t noisome river, the dark walls and t narrow streets do not impress c favorably, to say tbc least. L*f acquaintance, however, it it found he a city ofgayety and hospilirv. The city rose nudes somewhat old fortress, the surrounding wall which plainly show upon its cru Ting stones the marks of three hum years. The once wide but sha moat is now used but as a wallov place for the carahaos or water fit Iocs, which are the principal b< of burden and of draught. The t ' ---?

The city is illuminated by kenoscne imps, as gas pipes are of little use in uch unstable soil. In dwellings and tores, candles and swinging lamps if eocoanut oil are used for safely, or the earthquake shocks make keri cne a dangerous light. It is a In timate thing that the habits ami \eeds of the native inhabitants are satisfied with their bamboo hut, thatched with the leaves of the nipa palm, for a ccidents and conflagrations happen daily. The homes are easily rebuilt. The principal streets of the city are the Escalto and the Kosario where almost everything can be pur chased at a reasonable price.

Confident that, he has discovered a reliable cure for consumption and all bronchial, throat and lung diseases, general decline and weakness, loss of flesh and all conditions of wasting, and to make its great merits known, he will send free, three Ixittles to any reader of The Times who may be suffering. Already this "new scientific course of medicine" has permanently cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases. The Doctor considers it his religious duty?a duty which he owes to humanity I to donate Ids infallible cure. I He has proved the dreaded eonsumpj tion to Ik* a curable disease beyond any doubt, and has on tile in his American and Euro]>ean lalioratorles testimonials of experience from those benefitted and cured, in all parts of the world.
