There are four companies, Visayan, Tagalog, Maccabebe and Ilicano.

Their band of music, and the band of eighty pieces of the native constabulary are called the finest at the Exposition.

When they march they all seem to be one body; so smooth and even are their movements, they are called the most perfectly drilled soldiers in the country.
Jest think on't, if they show off so now what will they do at the next Exposition.

There are ten large buildings containing their enormous display of art and science, education, agriculture, horticulture, manufactures, commerce, etc.

Some of the statutes and pictures are beautiful; you couldn't tell some of 'em from them brought from abroad.
But folks don't seem to realize that some of the Filippinos are as refined and cultured as if they come from the middle of Boston.
Their forestry exhibit is the finest ever brought to any Exposition and contains everything relating to the fifty million acres of Philippine forests, splendid timber, over fifteen hundred different kinds of wood, rattans, gutta percha, dye stuffs, trees yielding oil, gums, rosin, etc.
The mineral exhibit shows how rich these islands are in gold, copper, coal and other minerals.
