Retain Nationality.


Retain Nationality.
Havana, July 1.-THE Chinese consul
general has filed strong objection to the
decision of Gov. Gen Brooke that com,
mercial treaties between Spain and other
foreign countries do not apply to Cuba
as was formerly the case and that future
treaty arrangements must be made with
the United States in the name of cuba.
The ground of his objection Is his fear
of emigration restrictions Under the old
regime Cinnamon we're admitted and i'm
migration encouraged and they are now
TO be found in all parts OF the island. en-
ployed principally as house servants
though many work on the plantations end
IN, The sugar mills, where they have proved
excellent help. In the opinion OF the Chi
nese consul general treaties Of long stand
ing ought not to be disturbed. especially
as Cuba is so much in need OF labor.
Many Cubans object to admitting the
Chinese owing 10 the extreme susceptible
ity of the latter to leprosy A large per-
centage of the inmates of the leper hos
piIais are of Chinese origin.
AT to-days meeting of the members of
the advisory cabinet Senor Capote, eec-
retary of government, presented for Gen.
Brooke's approval his draft of the pro-
p'Seu utcree lot the creation OF registry,
TO be used by Spanlards residing in the
island, who wish to retain their national
ty, as provided in the treaty of Paris
which directs that those who do not with
in a year file in a court Of record a decla-
ration of such Intention shall be held TO
have accepted the status Of Cuban.
According 10 q dispatch from Tunas the
United States troops killed a Spanish ban
DIT and an ex-gueriEa named Francisco
Lopez. who was attempting to escape aft

Campbell American civilian clerks in the
quariermaster's department at Cienfuegos,
who were implicated in the recent affray
there between American and Cubans. have
been ordered to return to the United States
