Another scene in the hospital of the American Orphan Asylum, showing reconcentrado boys dying of starva- tion, in the last stages, beyond relief, with protruding bones. Pictures like this explain the war now being waged against the tyranny which produces such piteous fruit. Here is a sad but common scene. Reconcentrados are d)-ing of starvation in the hospital of the American Orphans in Havana — too far gone to be saved by the belated treatment. Santo Suarez is the principal relief station in Havana. For a while, until the outbreak of war with the United States, 4000 reconcentrados were here daily supplied with food, medicine, etc. Relief station in Havana On L-ertaiu days, and at designated hnuis. purtioiis ul cudlish and curnmeal are doled out to the starving.

Ttiere is almost as much sweetness concentrated under the roof of this building as can be found in an American girl's school. A vSTRKET RKSTAURANT, PHILIPPINES. Frcin this to Delmonico's is a long step, but nevertlieless it does considerable business. The dishes are men nourishing than tasty, and tlie prices are not prohibitive. NATURAL liRIDGli AND NATIVE VKGETATIUN. This is quite a well known tn-sting place for native lovers. In the summer time when the foliage is at its best it is a grand sight. Jhe rich, deep colors vividly contrasting with the clear sky above. NATIVE FISHING, THK liANCA. This appears to be a primitive method, yet it is' very effectual judging from the large "catches" many of these boats secure. It looks an idle, easy, "Weary-Willie" sort of a life, but it isn't.

This is a favorite lucalitv jijreatly used by pedestrians, and those fond of broad, leafy drives. REMOVING THE DEAD FOR BURIAL ON THE COAST. This is a painful scene, and unfortunately of late much too frequent an occurence. Kri-F.U,() CART OX RINNHRS. These arc to be seen daily in the streets, and as may be noticed they are very simple in their con- struction. The boys drivint; the buffaloes are quite characters in their way.

This is the nativt- lerm for wliat in tliis coun- try would mean the child of a Spaniard or Creole and a native Indian — of which this lady is a grown-up specimen. A HALF-CASTE LADY OF WEAIvTH.

One of the chief pastimes of the natives, as it is indulged in all over the Islands. Luzon is a particular centre for this almost national sport. A FARM BlIFFALO OF CAVITE. Almost as aborit(inal as the buffalo cart. It will be noticeil that the buffalo is not over-weighted with harness nor the driver with clothes, but between them they t;et throutrh a fair amount of work. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^H^^ii ^^^^^^r^^^ ' a H ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^K B Wm ^f ?^^ PHDDLKRS OK OIL INDUSTRY.

They appear to be a happy lot. Tlie hut in the back- ground is a little the worse for wear. JAPANESE GEISHAS IX LUZUN.

This method of conveyance is frequently' met with, having been imported from the adjacent country of Japan, which is also responsible for the introduction of the Geisha. HOSPITAL vSCENE.
