ALIENS RIGHTS IN ENGLAND.
An Interesting Report on the Subject
by Consul HaIStenh.

In response to inquiries from Americans
establishing agencies in England and living
part of the time in the united kingdom,
Consul Halstead at birmingham has for
Warded to the State Department a carefully
prepared statement showing the rights and
limitations of aliens in England and the
methods of naturalization.
The English alien laws We're formerly
very severe. preventing non-citizens from
holding or bequeathing real property and
subjectin6 them to certain taxes from
which citizens were exempt. This how
ever, has now been done away with, and
the disabilities of aliens are very few
An American can remain d citizen of the
United States and still acquire property and
carry on business in England. He may sue
and be sued and is subject to the bank
rUptcy laws.
An allen becoming naturaliZcd under the
act of 1870 has ali the rights powers and
privileges, political and otherwise of a
natural born subject. and is liable to ali the
obligations of the same. But at the same
time, when he is within the confines of the
state to which he was formerly subject ne
may not be regarded as a British subject
unless he has ceased to be a subject of that
state III persuance of the laws of that state
or IN pursuance of a treaty to that effect

ADyICEs FROM GEN. OTIS.
They Related Entirely to the Health
of His Command

There is no foundation for the sensa-
uonal report that Gen. Otis has cabled the
War Department that the insurgent Fill.
pinos are threatening All immediate attack
upon him Gen. Otis has been heard from
by the department but once in the past
two days. This was message received
last evening relative to the health condi-
tons existing among the American troops
Secretary Alger had inquired by cable at
the instance of the United States Senate
as set out in It resolution.
Gen. OTIS reply relates entirely to the
subject matter of the inquiry, and was
transmitted at once to the Senate in It's
entirety Respecting the political or mil
ltary situation he said nothing and il NAV
be stated that however doubtful the first
may be. the officials here have every conf
dence in the ability of Gen. Otis and Ad-
mlrai Dewey 10 control the latter The
American officers have not been idle during
the months they have been afioat and
ashore at Manila. and 1t would be a poor
compliment to their ability to assume that
they had not employed the time to ad-
vantage in making as sure as military
science would permit the outcome Of any
conflict the urdisciplined natives might
confront them with.

TO ABOLISH THE SECOND CORPS.
Muster Out of Eleven Regiments the
Preliminary Step.

The order published in yesterdays Star
for the muster out of eleven volunteer
regiments is preliminary TO the abolition
of the entire 2d Army Corps formerly
commanded by Gen. Graham at Camp
Meade. Pa. and now under command of
Gen. Young, with headquarters at Augusta
Ga. All the regiments to be mustered out
in accordance with yesterdays order. are
attached to that corps, and their disband-
ment will leave only ten regiments of vol
unteers now in camp in the south 1t is
the purpose of the department 10 organize
the regiments into four independent bri-
Sades and placed in camp a Augusta Ca,
and at Grecnville. S. c. All the other
camps in the south are to be discontinued
OF the eleven regiments selected for mus
ter out eight are white and three colored
The officials of the War Department de-
sire 1t to be understood that the selection
no reflection upon their efficiency or dis
cIp!ine. They deprecate the statements in
certain circles that the colored troops were
mustered out because OF disorderiy conduct
and lack of soldierly qualities As one
officer put 1t. it is more fair to make
such a charge against the colored soldiers
than IL would be against white soldiers
