The total destruction of the Spanish Asiatic squadron by Admiral
Dewey in the famed naval engagement of Manila Bay, following closely
upon the declaration of war between the United States of America and
Spain, first brought the Philippine Islands into prominent public view.
The later occupancy by the American troops, the siege and final surrender
of the city of Manila and the many grave questions of international as
well as diplomaticimportance
that have since arisen as to their final
disposition, the form of government to be applied, etc,, have since but in-
creased this curiosity to know something of these islands and their popu-lation.
The city of Manila was already a populous and thriving city, when in
1571, General Legaspi declared Spanish sovereignty over the entire group
of islands and named Manila as the Capital. But while the city ot Manilaitself has, under Spanish guidance, developed into a beautiful metropolis,
the country has been neglected, and to-day but little is known of there-
sources of the land. Vague stories of mountain ranges fabulously rich in
gold and precious mineral stones, of fortunes to be easilymade from the
extraordinary fertility of the soil, or in this orthat speculation, have
aroused the cupidity of the venturesome and already the first symptoms

ofaboomare manifest, by the crowded streets, and boatloads of new
arrivals, who are eagerly awaiting a settlement of the conditions that
force them to delay their exploration The Insurgent army as well as the
many inland tribes of savages are obstacles barring the opening up and de-
velopment of these resources.
The publishers of this Album, have at great expense and labor, col-
lected some sixty photographs of the principal point:; of interest in and
about Manila.
The greatest care has been taken to choose such views only as will
most interest. Already the sleep of centuries is broken, American bustle
has sounded the death-knell to the long sleep of years and soon, one byone the picturesque places, the madiaeval fortifications, frowning in their im-
potent fury, againstthe advances of the modern world. The line of tren-
ches, with block houses here and there, used to keep back Spain's rebeli-
ous subjects, all these are already disappearing and forever.
The handsome residences, the old churches reverend from the soften-
ing touch of time, the Lunetta, that famous driveway, skirting the shores of
the tamous bay, and nightly the promenade of all the beauty, wit and
ashion of this gay city, all these are shown.

Wire entanglements. This form of impedement was used more in Cuba
than they were heie. To the Spanish mind they formed an effectual barrier totroops.
