NOT AS CONTRACT LABoRERs
The Filipino Actors to be PermAtteo'
to Land ut San Francisco IN
der Specific Conditions.

Washington, June 6.-Mr. Powder
". commissioner of immigration, WITH
the approval of the secretary of tue
treasury, has issued instructions to the
officials of his service at San Francisco
70 land the company of Filipino ac-
tors who have been detained there
some weeks pending a final determine
tlon of the case.
In the course of his letter, Mr.. Pow
derly says that the persons VINO nave
a contract with the Filipinos and who"
were instrumental in bringing them To-
this country assert that ii was their in
tention Ito procure the services OF na-
tives of the Philippine islands who"
would be fair types of the people OK
that race. That, in addition, they
should be competent to illustrate tue
domestic life, habits and customs OF
their countrymen and that they should
be actors of such recognized ab1lltT
as to enable them to faithfully por-
tray as actors the scenes and incl
dents of life in the Philippines; to-
sing the native songs and dance the
native dances of the Filipinos and
festivals which form a part of their
domestic life, and that under no cir
cumstances would they be allowed to-
perform any service in competition
with American labor"
Continuing, Mr.. Powderly says:
1.-The testimony in the case goes to-
show that the appellants are actors =
and that their performance was wit
messed by one who testified to tat
TACT. 1t is true that they follow other
occupations, but that is also true OF
many other well-known actors in the
United States. The point raised as to
their compensation is not material
since there is no recognized rule Dr
standards by which managers of the
aters are governed in paying the sal
aries of actors"
Mr.. Powderly has secured a pledge
from the persons bringing the com
pany over that they will execute Il
new contract with the Filipinos which
will provide that their services shall
be now only for the purpose of eN-
hibiting the songs, dances, games ami
plays of the said islands; that they
will cause them to be supported main
tanned, clothed, fed, lodged and sup
piled with medical attention when re-
9uired, so long as they remain in the
United States, and that they shall
not require them to do any other Ia
Dor than above specified and that they
shall be returned to their native coun-
yry at the cost and expense of the
contractors at the time specified in the
original contract"

facilitating acts of hostilities in the
case of war with France, OF having
furnished the means therefor by fur
nishing notes or documents retraced
on the bordereau?
The audience received the decision
with cries of 'Vive Ia Justice" "Vive
Ia Loie.'

eminent of Paris, and sends the ac'
cused before court-martial at Renncs
to be specially appointed to conduct
the new trial.
