The great YMCA buildings were thronged as in no other city the writer ever visited.

This prison covers seventeen acres of ground, making it one of the largest in the world.

During my stay here I have gone through the military prison.

It is more comfortable than Bilibid, our penitentiary in Manila.

It is made in much the same way as are the barracks, save that there is a great wall around it and the entrances are closely guarded.

The prisoners are forced to work.
