from the president dated December 1 , 1S9S.
These instructions said that the destruction
ot the Spanish fleet , followed by the reduc
tion of Manila , practically effected the con
quest of the Philippine Islands and sus
pension of Spanish sovereignty. They di
rected that the military government of the
United States existing In Manila bo extended
with all possible dispatch to the whole dis

treaty of peace. The military commander
was dlrecled to announce that "wo como ,

gestions were made ns to the movement of
the ceded territory and the rights of prop ,

This letter of the president , together with

Major General Otis , commanding the De

his approval April 9 , 1899.
"Prior to the report being received at

" 'Under the Intelligent and strictly profes

Arrival * .
NEW YORK , July 26. At today's session
of the subcommittee of the United States
Industrial commission Roman Dobblcr , chief
of the Hoard of Inspectors of Immigration
at the barge office , testified that his experi
ence was that clerks coming lo the United
Stated In the second cabin with $10 $ or $50
were the first to become public charges.
The witness prepared a table showing the
comparative arrivals of passengers In the
first and second cabins and the steerage.
On such lines as the North German Lloyd ,
Cunard , American , Anchor and White Star
lines the number ot saloon passengers al
most equaled the arrivals In the steerage.
In vessels from Mediterranean ports , how
ever , the steerage passengers greatly ex
ceeded the other classes. Mormons , ho said ,
always came on vessels of the Anchor line
from Glasgow In the second cabin. Ills
figures showed that while 2,083 passengers
came from Italian ports In the steerage only
twenty-five came as cabin passengers.
Mr. Dobbler said many persons came In
the second cabin In order to avoid the rigid
scrutiny at the barge office. Ho believed
many of the new arrivals had been coached
as to their answers to questions put to them
here.
here.Dr.
Dr. Lorenzo Ullo , legal adviser of the Im
migration bureau , said there was great diffi
culty In enforcing the laws owing to the
many contradictions found In the statutes
relative to Immigration. A case In point
was the law regarding crlmpals ( coming to
this country whom the law requires shall
be returned to the nation to which they be
long and the port from which they came.
Sometimes the criminal was an Oriental and
came from Bremen. He thought the law
should say such persons should simply not
bo permitted to land and the steamship
companies left to do with them as they be
lieved best. Witness said that In none ot
tbo Immigration laws was there an express
provision for the deportation of contract
laborers. The laws of 1801 did so by impli
cation and It was under this act that the
department was working.
The witness said hu favored amending the
law regarding contract laborers so as to In
clude any agreement to come here to work ,
not rigidly a contract. He would also give
persons brought hero by the steamship com
panies contrary to the Immigration laws
cause of atlon against the owners of the
vessel that brought them.
Mrs. Virginia Stucklcr , the chief matron
at the barge office , testified regarding the
treatment of enclente women arriving here.
Of 441 women arriving during the month in
that condition fifty-two were married at the
barge office , twenty-eight were admitted on
appeal and the others were found to bo
married women.
Mrs. Stuckler thought the laws should in
clude an act prohibiting the landing of girls
brought here for immoral purposes. There
was no such prohibition in the present laws.
Preference lo ForplRti I. fill or.
William Welhe ot the Contract Labor
Bureau , who was formerly president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workeis , said 50 per cent ot all the cheap
labor coming here Slovaks , Polaks and
Russian Poles went to Pennsylvania , where
they not only worked on rallroadp and In
the mines , but -entered Int cprapeUUon ln
the Industrial centers In the iron and glass
works.
"It has been shown , " said Mr. Wolhe.
"that the companies give the preference to
foreigners even when skilled American
workmen offer to work for the same wages.
In 1897 a tlnplate mill at Harrlsburg
brought to this country two roll tunners
from Wales at $35 and $30 a week respec
tively. We had the letters sent to these
men in which these salaries were promised.
They were written on the company's letter
head by the manager. The men came here
and went to work. We could not prove that
the president bad authorized the manager to
hire the men and as the manager was a
hired man the company could not be prose
cuted. "
Dr. Eglsto Rossi , chief of the Italian
bureau at the barge office , Bald bis bureau
was supported by the Italian government.
His government did not encourage Immigra
tion to this country. The 'bureau ' had bsen
established hero to break up the padrone
system , and for the purpose of keeping a
record of the Italian Immigrants arriving In
this country. Ho said his assistants had
exercised the privileges of other societies'
representatives , of talking with Immigrants
detained In the pens , but not with these
held for special Inquiry. While he would
not say his 'bureau ' bad destroyed the padrone
system yet he had been able" to prevent
many new arrivals from Italy coming Into
contact with the bankers and padrones in
this country.
"Do you still regard Italian Immigrants
In this country as colonists ? " asjted Chair
man Smlthc.
"We consider as colonists all Italians who
have not taken out naturalization papers
and notified the Italian government that they
had renounced allegiance to King Humbert. "
Circular Letter MlniiituVriiiooil.
"Is It true that you Issued a circular
letter April 21 , last , In which you said that ,
owing to the war with Spain , labor and In
dustry bad ceased In this country and ad
vised your government not to grant pass
ports to Intending Immigrants ? "
"No. the person who gave you such In
formation did not understand my Italian
circular. Many persons wore arriving from
Italy with Insufficient funds and I simply
called on the government to urge on the
mayors and prefects to < bo careful In Issuing
passports , the more so as this country was
engaged In1 a war and Industrial enterprises
: were In a measure suspended , "
| "WoJiave been Informed that certain Ital
ian government ofllcials are interested In
sending contract laborers to this country
and share the profits with the padrone , "
said Major Farquhar.
"I do not believe It possible , " said Dr.
Rossi. "I should llko names and data ,
American foremen , acting for American con
tractors , have been employing the methods
of the padrone since wo have been able to
repress I ho operations of the latter. "
Commissioner 'McSweeney ' was called and
examined on several minor matters and the
convention then adjourne-d to meet In Wash
ington In September.

HITCH IN TREATY PROGRAM

A'eKotlate with the
( 'lilnexe.
PEKIN , July 26. The Japanese admiral
and four officers from the squadron nt Ta-
Ku , Gulf of Po-Chl-Ll , have arrived here
to visit the Japanese minister. Prince Ko-
mura , who was with the squadron , was ex
pected here In connection with pending
treaty negotiations , but there appears to be
a hitch regarding It.
The hitch Is In regard -to the measure of
financial control to bo accorded to Japan In
return for reorganization of the Chinese
army by Japanese officials. In high Chinese
circles It IK believed that the difficulties can
not bo surmounted. Prince Chlng and the
dowager empresa arc the principal advocates
ot the treaty. Others , though approving any
Arrangement that would be likely to secure
China from foreign uggrcsalon , are fearful
that the treaty might Involve China In seri
ous complications.
