CEBU.
This is an important port and city of the Philippines. It is the capital of the island of Cebu, and ranks next to Iloilo among the ports of the Philippines. It was at one time the seat of the administration of revenue for the whole of the Bisayas, but this was removed to Man la in 1849. Cebu is a well built town and possesses file roads, but the people arc d void of commercial enterprise. There are two Governors stationed in the port, one having the rule of the isld, the other administering the whole of the Visayas. The trade of Cebu consists principally in hemp and sugar. On account of the low price ruling for hemp during the last few years Cebu has made no progress, but hopes are entertained that matters will now improve as prices are steadily rising. The neighbouring islands of Leyte, Mindanao, and Camiguin possess extensive bemp plantations, a large proportion of the produce of which finds it way to Cebu for ship- The following figures show the trade of Cebu:-In 1879 there entered the port with cargoes 3 vessels of 3,203 tons, and in ballast 11 vessels of 10,710 tons, and there cleared with cargoes 14 vessels of 13,813 tons. The value of the imports was $4,091, and that of the exports, $1,018,582. There are some very valuable and extensive coal deposits in the island of Cebu, but the mines have not as yet been worked with any enterprise.
