Chinese Passengers to BE Detained at
Astoria.
Astoria, May 22.-For the first time
in the history of this port quarantine
has been established here against ves-
sells arriving from San Francisco. This
relates particularly to Chinese passen-
gers, as thus far all others have been
allowed to pass. Both State Health
Officer Fulton and Quarantine Officer
Hastings have received official notifica-
tion Of the existence of the plague at
the bay city, and, while the latter has
received no instructions from the de-
partment to establish an interstate
quarantine he deems strict precautions
necessary to guard against tho possible
introduction of the disease here, and,
together with the state health officer,
will inspect all incoming vessels from
that port and isolate all the Chinsese
passengers.
The first vessel affected by the new
regulations was the o. X. & N. steamer
Columbia, which arrived here this
morning. She was detained In the
quarantine grounds until q thorough
inspection was made and then allowed
to come to the dock. Two Chinese
were, however. taken to the
government quarantine station, where
their baggage will be fumigated. and
they will be held for about 10 days.

Manila, May 21.-A proclamation
purporting to have been issued by
Aguinaldo and dated May 4. from
POllilo island, one of the Philippine
group east Of Luzon, is circulating in
Manila. 1t says the commission ap-
pointed by President Mckinley was
appointed without the authority of con-
gress, and hence 1t cannot treat official
ly. 1t urges the Filipinos not to sur.
render their arms at the iRstigation of
the commission and on promIses which
congress may not ratify, and also urges
the Filipinos to enthusiastically well
come the commission when it arrives in
the towns and provinces, asking boldly
for the form of government they most
desire, as the Americans permit of free
dom of speech. The proclamation
closes with asking the Filipinos to
strive for liberty and independence and
again warns them against deception.
