WASHINGTON , Sept. 23 , At the.
cabinet meeting the subject of Chlnesq
exclusion in the Philippines was dis
cussed at aome length. It was decided
to ask G6neral Otis for definite in-1
formation as to what had been done ,
and especially In regard to a partlcu *
lar complaint from the Chinese mint
Istcr that ono shipload of Chinese had.
been stopped. General Otis wljl bo
asked to give reasons why this action
was taken.
First Assistant Secretary Hill of thd
state department Wan present at the
session on account of the Chinese exj
elusion topic.
The telegram from General Otis re
lating to the occupation of churches
by United States troops in the Philip
pines was read and discussed. No
orders will bo sent to General Otis on
this subject , ds it is regarded as a part
of warfare to occupy the churches. '
The War department has received
the following telegram from General
Otis regarding the military use ot.
church property In the Philippines ;
"Referring to your cablegram of
September 18 , sixteen churches In dif
ferent localities occupied by United
States troops. Four only partially oc
cupied and religious Services not in
terfered with. Also threecouvenw
decupled. Tl < cse three and ten of the
, sixteen churches .were formerly occii-t
Eled by Insurgents. Church property
j respected and proteqted by our
troops. "
Th.o Chinese minister called at the
state department and held a long con
ference with 'Acting Secretary Hill re
specting tli'e admission into the Philip
pines of some Chinese. The case .is . an
exceptional ono and it Is said that the
general question of the validity , and
propriety of General Otis' extension of
the Chinese exclusion laws to the Phil
ippines was hot an issue in the con
ference.
nonator Davis , chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations , happened
to call tit the time , and was participant
in the discussion , giving the depart
ment the benefit of his views of the
attitude that would bo assumed by his
committee and perhaps by congress
respecting such questions as that pre
sented.
There are some indications that the
adoption of a more elastic policy in
the matter of Chinese exclusion will
bo suggested to General Otis , but noth
ing has yet been done in that direc
tion.

made thirteen and a half knots an

had a foul bottom satisfies the oillcials
that the battleship will make about
1G.25 knots an hour on her trial next
week , or a quarter knot above the re
quired speed. It Is said she Is capable
of greater speed than this , but as there
is no premium for extra speed the en

WASHINGTON , I ) . C. , Sept. 23. A
plan Is under consideration nt the war
department to creito an army division
of the Philippine-.1 ? and divide the divj-
Bion Into departments on n basis alml-
la'r to that In Cuba. The idea la to
create four departments in the Philip
pines , at least three of them to be com
manded by major generals. The Phil
ippines heretofore have been known
as the Department of the Pacific.
ilt IB expected that one department
of the proposed new division will con
sist of ( General MacArthur's command
" - * wlll'be'Gert'
north "of-Manila ; another
cral Lawton > command south of Ma
nila and , n third will be a new com
mand to operate from Llngaycn or
Da upan.
A fourth department will probably
consist of troops In the islands south
ot Manila , which Include the com
mands ! now at Hello , Ccbu and other
points.
The scheme has not yet taken such
definite form ns to determine the com
mands of the departments and divi
sions. There Is little doubt , however ,
that Lawton and Mat-Arthur will re
main where they now arc and prob
ably the command in the Islands south
will bo under u In'Igadler general. An
other officer will have to be selected
for the department in the far northern
part of the inland' the terminus of
the Oagupan railroad.
The plan Is to give each department
commander all the troops that can bo
successfully operated and also insure
sufficient garilaong for all pojnts taken ,
Protection to the peaceable trlb.es is
ono of the chief objects sought , as rep
resentations made to the war depart
ment Indicate that many of the Inhab
itants do not want to fight and If un
molested and relieved from fear of
attack by the Tagalos will assist In
supporting the authority of the United
States and make it Impossible for the
fqllowcra of Agulnaldo to subsist.
