A new seaport recently built by the government on the east side of the Island of Luzon will shorten the voyage to the Philippines from American ports by from three to five days. Manila, the destination here tofore of all army transports and most of the commerce of the islands, lies on the west coast of Luzon, and while convenient for Spanish trade sailing eastward, it involves an un necessary trip around the coast for American ships. The new port is located at a place called Hondagua, meaning "deep water," which is also the terminus of a new railroad from Manila. The improvements made by the United States engineer have laid the founda tions for a great modern port, says Popular Mechanics, from which pas sengers can reach Manila in a few hours by the new railroad, and the improved means of transportation will open up to commerce 200 or 300 miles of coast hitherto practically isolated and thousands of acres of rich agricultural lands, producing hemp and coconuts in profusion. Tho harbor at Hondagua is deep, ex tensive and almqst landlocked by a large island lying across its mouth. MELTS IRON IN JIG TIME. Kon-LeLid Ji t lattice MAM HA r.cv II EN J .
