Manila at the turn of the century description by an American officer
A U S Army paymaster in the Philippines writes from Manila about the Walled City and Pasig river landmarks. He notes walls, gates, and old batteries, modern fortifications on the bay front, the crowded Luneta, and diverse residents including Malays, Chinese, Spaniards, and Americans. He laments the streetcar system, praises the Luneta promenade, and observes Manila’s congested commerce and mixed culture.
