The Es- cotta, the principal business portion {of the city, is a fine place, The Iwalled city puts one in mind of the old and ancient cities you read about, with its narrow streets and massive walls. The Spaniards, when they were building these walls, built them about twelve feet high, and on the top put a coat of mortar about four , inches thick. There are really no Filipinos now at all, The Filipinos are an extinct race. a race that absolutely refused to be civilized. These people are really Malays.
