Moros. In 1646, it exchanged shots with a Dutch fleet and, in 1798, maintained an all- day bombardment with an English squadron. In 1872, for putting down a mutiny of prisoners, Zamboanga was granted by the Madrid Government the title "Loyal and Valiant Town." On May 10th, 1899, the revolutionists attacked the Spanish garrison in Zamboanga, which withdrew on May 24th. The town was burned during the hostilities. During the summer of 1899, the Republic of Zamboanga was in full control, but the town was finally surrendered to the American blockading squadron without bloodshed on November 16th of the same year.
Zamboanga is the capital of the province of the same name. The town, though small, is one of the most beautiful, not only of the Philippines but of the Far East. It is characterised by shady streets and possesses very fine parks and exquisite gardens. There is a drastic building ordinance in force which provides that all buildings erected in the central portion must be of reinforced concrete or other equally fire-proof material with an 8-inch firewall every 100 feet. Good roads extend along the coast in either direction from the town.
