After Dumaguete, Misamis, and Iligan, the harbour of Cagayan presented a truly metropolitan appearance, what with a transport, a coasting vessel, and a navy gunboat, all in at the same time.
It is the residence of the politico-military governor, the secretary, judge, attorney-general, and several public functionaries. It is situated 379 miles from Manila. The Province of Negros has a population of 94,782 the capital, Dumaguete, 13,613.
The next morning the presidente of the town, other officials, and some of the leading men and women of Dumaguete made a visit to the ship, and were voluble in their surprise at what was shown them, the electric lights and fans, the steam galley and ice-machine; the cold-storage room, where one could freeze to death in a few moments; the little buttons on the wall which one had only to touch and a servant appeared to take one's orders; the wonderful piano that "played itself," all were duly admired and exclaimed over.
Our first stopping place after a two days' trip from Manila was Dumaguete, on the southeast corner of the island of Negros.
