BoMBARDING OF sUBIG FORT.
The Matter Has Not Been Officially
Reported by Admiral Watson.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. - Rear
Admiral Watson has not yet reported
to the Navy Department upon thesre-
ported bombardment of the fort in
Subig Bay by the Charleston yesterday.
General Otis recently was Informed
by cable that he could have the fullest
cooperation of the navy in any move
ment, and it is thought at the Navy
Department that in execution of this
promise Admiral Watson is initiating
the new campaign.
Subig Bay is the site of a projected
naval station. The SpaniardS diScov-
cred that it afforded advantages for
such a purpose over Manila Bay, and
especially over Cavite. They spent
nearly $1,000000 upon the place before
the war, and it was one of the plans
of Admiral Montejo, the Spanish naval
commander, to make his stand against
Dewey at Subig instead of Cavite.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The I'M
peria1 Chinese Government, through Its
Minister here, WI Ting Fang, has
lodged with the State Department an
emphatic protest against the military
order of General Otis excluding Chi
nese from the Philippines.
The matter was promptly brought to
the attention of the President, as the
protest was of such character as to
give the subject an international as
pect considerably beyond the purely
military questions involved.
1t is said that China points out that
she has welcomed the recent advent
of the United States into the affairs
of the Far East. and has hoped that
this step would prove a further bond,
and would extend the relations between
the two countries, particularly in these
neighboring possessions Furthermore,
it is understood that among the spec
ific points of protest submitted by the
Chinese Government is one to the effect
that such an order is departure from
the announced purpose of the President
of the United States to maintain the
present status of affairs in the Philip
pines until Congress has determined a
permanent condition.
General Otis order was issued some
time ago without direction from
Washington. and apparently urges
that there is no such military neces-
sity, but on the contrary. that the Chi
nese have rendered valuable military
assistance.
General Otis order is signed by him.
self as military Governor of the Phil
ippines and by Brigadier General
Charles A. Whitaker as Collector as
Customs, having supervision of Chi
nese affairs.
It says: The laws of the United
States which prohibit the entrance Of
Chinese will be enforced here.
General Otis made report to the
War Department on April 10th last,
on the execution of the decree. He
said that only Chinese in good health,
who had previously resided in the
Philippines were permitted to land at
Manila, Cebu or Iloilo-the only three
open ports in the archipelago. He also
explained the methods of registering,
fees, etc.
It is understood that the Chinese
Government regard the outcome of
this protest with much apprehension.
1t is pointed out that the Chinese have
been long established in the Philip
pines, and that considerable branch
of the industry of the islands is con-
Quoted by them, and that this COM
plete termination of long estab-
lished communication between China
and the Philippines inures them both
personally and materially.
The Chinese protest is said to be
couched in the most dignified and
courteous terms. but to be 50 pointed
that no doubt is left as to the deep
umbrage the Chinese Government feels
over this order of General Otis.
