CEBU
This 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 Manila in 1849. Cebu is a well built town and possesses tine roads, but the people are devoid of commercial enterprise. The trade of Cebu consists principally of hemp and sugar. The neighbouring islands of Leyte, Mindanao, and Camiguin possess extensive hemp plantations, a large proportion of the produce of which finds its way to Cebu for shipment. 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. The trade in 1894 is represented by the following figures:-Imports, $205,671; exports, $2,671,688; as compared with $263,695 and $3,638,039 respectively in 1891. The principal exports of 1894 were sugar 12,706,768 kilograms, and hemp 14,389,200 kilograms
