EXCLUSION
LAW APPLIED
TO MANILA
Chinese Are No Longer
Freely Permitted to Enter
the Philippines.
OTIS TAKES ACTION
Order Made Arbitrarily Unknown
to State Department and Excites
Chinese Government.
Special DisDatch to IN. Call.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The State
Department has been informed through
a diplomatic channel that General
Otis has applied the Chinese exclusion
laws TO the Philippines. The informa-
ton was surprise TO the authorities,
both state and military, as the matter
has been under consideration for some
time, and it was not known that Gen
eral Otis had put the exclusion laws
into force. The first intimation in that
direction came in a dispatch received
a few days ago from the Chinese Con-
sui at Manila, telling the Chinese lega-
ton here that the exclusion laws
against the Chinese had been applied
10 the Philippines. The dispatch was
brought to the attention Of the State
Department and inquiry made as 10
how the action was brought about, as
the Chinese Government has been So
fictitious since American military con-
troll was established in the Philippines
that the United States exclusion law
should not be extended over these isl
ands The State Department knows
nothing of such an extension and made
inquiries of the War Department. The
military authorities, however, were
equally without information as TO Gen
eraI Otis course in this particular. Ac-
cordingly the Chinese officials were ad-
vised that any action taken by General

The Chinese Government has shown
more anxiety as 10 the course OF this
Government toward the Chinese in the
Philippines than toward those in Cuba
or other parts of the world. mainly be
cause the Philippines are so near
China and large numbers of Chinese
are already established there. They
carry on the bulk Of the retail trade,
have an extensive quarter in Manila,
and send out travelling statesmen carry
ing packs to the remote interior Of the
islands. Some of the official reports,
including those of Admiral Dewey,
have paid a tribute TO the work per
formed by the Chinese, and Naval
Constructor HobsOn has recently re-
ported 10 the Navy Department on the
value of Chinese labor in naval and
commercial pursuits in the Far East.
This has led the Chinese officials here
to believe that the exclusion laws
would not be applied TO the Philippines,
and they are still hopeful that General
Otis action viii be a temporary move.
incident 10 military occupation, and
not part of the permanent policy OF
this Government toward the islands.
The only action taken here as to the
Chinese exclusion laws has been IN
ruling that they were not a part OF the
immigration laws and did not apply TO
Cuba and Porto Rico.

COUNTIES CITED
BY EQUAL|zERS
State Board Will Act on
Assessments.
Special DISPATCH 10 The Call,

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 23.-The State
Board OF Equalization to-day cited the
following counties TO appear on the dates
named and show cause why their assess
ments should not be raised: Butte, CO.
lusa, and Glenn. August %; Santa Clara
and Santa Cruz, August Sr Mendoctno
and San Diego, August 81; Alameda and
Sacramento. September l.
The list as originally adopted included
San Francisco and Los Angeles, these be-
ing included in the original motion 70 cite,
and being voted for by all but Colgan,
who voted against every motion 10 cite.
After the original list had been adopted
TOland and l. II. Brown got together and
made a trade, Brown agreeing 70 vote 10
drop Los Angeles if Toland would vote ID
drop san Francisco. Colgan co-opereted,
a reconsideration was obtained and the
two counties were dropped. As San Fran
cisco showed an increase this year of
$50 Gl0. 800 over last year. and Los Angeles
shows an increase OF 8 100 .0o0, there was
no strenuous attempt 10 retaliate on The
part of members representing otner dis
tricts. All the counties which have been
cited show a falling off IN their assess
meut rolls, the most considerable falling
of being in the case Of Butte County:
whose roll this year is more than half
million short.

some distance under water.
The vessel left this port early Sunday
morning and cruised around Santa Cruz

camp. but failed 10 find one and went
over TO Santa Rosa During the Wnole

and so bitter q feeling existed that open
mutiny seemed imminent Engineer
Duffie said that Just before the vessel
struck he heard threat from either the
cook or the captain to throw the other
one overheard.
When the vessel struck the engineer
was thrown severely upon the moor IN the
hold. He soon recovered, and with COM
pauion rushed on deck just in time TO see
the captain jumping into the skin Wlth
his yalise The skif was pushed off and
the engineer called for the party in II 70

Captain David o. Brien IS an old deep-sea
