GIN. OTIS TO EXPLAIN
Information Wanted as to Why Cinnamon
are Excluded.
THEIR MINlSIER WANTS TO KNOW
Desires Admission of Some of His People
Into the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. From
Gen.. Otis Regarding Use OF Church
Property--More Elastic Policy on In
Clusion OF Cinnamon.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-At the
cabinet meeting the subject of Chinese
exclusion in the Philippines was dis
cussed at some length. 1t was decided
to ask General Otis for definite in
formation as to what had been done,
and especially in regard to a partlcu-
lar complaint from the Chinese min
lister that one shipload of Chinese had
been stopped. General Otis will be
asked to give reasons why this action
was taken.
First Assistant Secretary Hill of the
state department was present at the
session on account of the Chinese eX-
c!usion topic.
The telegram from General Otis re-
lating to the occupation of churches
by United States troops III the Philip
pines was read and discussed. No
orders will be sent to General Otis on
this subject, as it is regarded as a part
of warfare to occupy the churches.
The War department has received
the following telegram from General
Otis regarding the military use Of
church property in the Philippines:
"Referring to yOur cab!egram Of
September IS, sixteen churches in diff
ferent localities occupied by United
States troops. Four only partially oc-
cupied and religious services not in
terfered with. Also three converts
occupied. These three and ten Of the
sixteen churches were formerly occu-
pied by insurgents. Church property
is respected and protected by our
troops"
The Chinese minister called at the
state department and held a long con-
ference with Acting Secretary Hill re-
specting the admission into the Philip
pines of some Chinese. The case is an
exceptional one and it Is said that the
general question of the validity and
propriety of General Otis extension of
the Chinese exclusion laws to the Phil
ippines was not an issue in the on
ference.
Senator Davis. chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, happened
to cali At the time, and was participant
in the discussion, giving the depart
ment the benefit of his views of the
attitude that would be assumed by his
committee and perhaps by congress
respecting such questions a that pre-,
scented.
There are some indications that the
adoption of d more elastic policy IL
the matter of Chinese excursion viii
be suggested to General Otis, but moth
ing has yet been done in that direc,
ftor
