ZAMBOANGA
Zamboanga is located on the south-western extremity of Mindanao Island in latitude- 6 deg. 55 min. north and longitude 122 deg. 5 min. east, being 512 nautical miles south of Manila. It has a population of about twenty-eight thousand and, in volume of business, takes fourth place among the open ports of the Philippines, coming after Manila, Iloilo and Cebu. It is situated in a country noted for copra, lumber and hemp production, has excellent shipping facilities, and is the ideal transshipping point for all products of southern Mindanao and Sulu. The harbour is partially protected by two small islands and is never visited by severe stornis, as it is south of the typhoon belt. It has a good anchorage for steamers of any size, and the wharf, now being extended, will accommodate steamers drawing thirty feet.

Communication with other ports is assured by weekly nail steainers, bi-weekly transports and despatch boats with Cebu and Manila, monthly steamers of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha with Australia, Manila and the China coast, and bi-weekly steamers of the Straits Steamship Company with Sandakan, Borneo, and Singapore. A coast guard cutter, running out of Zamboanga, gives regular communication with other small
