To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It looks like a congested, much overgrown Malay village, which it really is, though lacking, as does Manila in general, the limitless luxuriance of foliage and shade characteristic of the rural Philippines.
Tondo is low-lying, has no sewers, and the water during half of the year stands in pestilential pools imder the houses. In the wet season water rushes all over it from one to three feet deep. It is full of little tide-water creeks and ditches, many of them sickeningly foul of smell, with sur...roundings to match, as befits a population that lives on anything from fish and rice to stewed grasshoppers. A con- flagration here is a dreadful event, the native's bahay burning like a kerosened haystack. On the night of Washington's Birthday, 1899, there was a great fire of undoubted insurgent origin. It began in the Santa Cruz district, and extended to San Nicolas, where several buildings were blown up to check it; then swept over a large part of Tondo; the burned area in the three districts exceeded a mile square and the 90 THE PICTURESQUE PHILIPPINES loss more than half a million dollars, and the flames were got under control only by immense effort, to which the British and German residents contributed their full share.
