The Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus a man named Soleiman
Attala had q wife, Isbakyeh. The wo-
man frequently worked for US. and on
several occasions had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little. At length I was obliged to
tell Soleiman that owing to his wife's
laziness I could employ. her no longer.
Shortly afterward went to England.
On my return after q couple Of
months absence was surprised to
find that Soleiman had divorced Isbak-
yeh and had already married another
woman. On inquiring from him the
cause of this he replied, Your honor
told me that you would not employ my
wife again, SO l thought would get
rid Of her and marry another woman
whom you would employ.

the Philippine Islands Who Make
Application for Them-A Circular
Instructions Of Like Nature Sent to
American Representatives Abroad.
Washington, June 3.-In answer to
his application for instructions Sec
retary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate. at London, to issue passports
to the two Filipinos who appeared at
the embassy "as residents of the Phil
ippine islands and as such entitled to
the protection of the United States."
The decision upon this point is of
Importance, as having perhaps some
bearing upon the status of the people
of the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Guam. \ year ago the decision was
reached to regard the Porto Rican as
entitled to the protection conveyed By
an American passport, but a formal
| decision of the test case was prevent
| ed through the withdrawal Of the ap-
| pllcatlon. The Foraker act deter
mined the right of the Porto Ricans as
"citizens of Porto Rico" to the pro-
lection CT the United States govern
ment It is now held that the Spooner
law conveys the same privilege to the
inhabitants of the Philippines.
! The United States statutes pro-
hibit the issue of passports to any but
American citizens. But these later
acts. the Foraker act and the Spoon
er act. impose obligations in their
turn which may be regarded as quail
| flying the original act and may ena.
BILE the government to avoid a de-
cision upon the question of the Amer
lean citizenship Of the islanders. At
any rate the circular instructions now
in formulation. which will be sent out
TO all United States diplomatic and
consular representatives will direct
them to issue. not certificates. but
| genuine American passports TO the
islanders.
