Gen. Otis Has No Power to Exclude Them
Except for Military Reasons.
WASHINGTON. Sept 25.-Gen. Otis reported
to the War Department by telegraph to-day
that the TOO Chinese who we're detained
on ship board by him on account OF
his application OF the Chinese Exclusion act to
the Philippines. had been permitted to land.
The Chinese Minister 20 the United States
called on DR.. Hill. the acting Secretary OF
State. this morning and was informed Of Gen.
OtIss action. Later on the State and War
Departments gave out this Joint statement:
The Chinese from Annoy. on tho steamers
Esmeralda and Salvadara. about half OF them
being previous rssidents OF the Philip
pines. have been permitted to land. owing to
the special circumstances OF the case. on the
promise OF the Chinese Consul General at
Manila that NO more Chinese will leave
Chinese ports for the Philippines qualified to
land under existing War Department regula-
tions."
The action OF Gen. Otis in permitting the
Chinese to land has disposed OF the case at
issue to the satisfaction Of all the parties con-
cerned. The off1cials who were at first in
clinsd to regret that the incident arose. are
now glad that IL was brought up at this time.
| as IT gave the opportunity for reaching an
| understanding with tine Chinese Government
| ef constant embarrassme mt to the Administra-
| ton. owing to the Misunderstanding that
| existed In regard to the application Of the
Exclusion act to ths Philippines In issuing
his order to that effect. Gen. Otis said that the
provisions Of the Exclusion laws of the United
States were applied to the territory under his
! tion as an unfortunate announcement and. as
| subsequent events showed. not quite what
| Gen. Otis intended to convey. He has the

equally powerless to apply the laws OF the

Chinese from the islands was purely mill
tary measure. He has the right to ADOPT any

necessity. He was told that the exclusion ap-

Gen. Otis has explained that owing TO the
