Particular Objection Made to tho Pre-
posai s. Include the Philippines ana
Hawaii In the Now Measure as Chi.
N nese Have Acquired Much Property

With the lsianas BY Family Tics.
Peking, March 12.-The Chinese
government has presented to tho Unit
ed States minister, Mr.. Coassr, .
strong memorial against the ro-enact.
ment OF the Chinese exclusion law by
the United States. The government
here particularly objects to the exclu
sion of Chinese from the Philippine
and Hawaiian islands, representing
that the Chinese had acquired exten.
sive commercial interests there and
were closely connected with the isl
ands by family ties. SO that repression
OF free intercourse would result in pc
culiar hardships. <. %.,
NOT ASKING INTERVENTION.
Boer Delegates Again Call en- Pres
dent Roosevelt.
Washington, March &c. H. Wes
sells and a. d. W. Wolmarans, Boel
delegates in this country, had talk
clusion of the cabinet meeting. They
called to pay their respects and to
say goodbye as they will leave fol
\ IL c;f
Chicago and a number of other places.
In the course of their interview
they stated that they desired partic.
ularly to make known to the president
that they neither asked tor, desired OF
expected intervention on the part OF
this country or any other country.
"A number of mistakes have been
printed about our mission to this coun.
try since we came to Washington, !
said Mr.. Vessels, and the worst one
\ is that we are trying to get interven.
tion. We know that this is not p0asi.
BILE, and rs, . matter of fact we dent
want it. what we do want, however,
and have laid before the American
government, is that q civilized warfare
be insured in South Africa. That is
all we want now W. @haxe not put
before the authorities any request that
this or that plan be adopted to insure
the carrying out of the rules of civil.
ICED warfare, but we will leave that
wholly to the government TO take
whatever steps it sees fit. We want
a fair and square fight. We are con.
fident that we will be able to keep this
war going for a number of years yet,
and we think that all civilized nations,
especially the United States, are inter.
ested in the proper rules OF warfare
being carried out. We can point out
numerous instances of foul work. II
is particularly noticeable that the Eng.
ish press itself comments on the prob.
ability that General Methuen will be
given decent care and attention by the
Beers. who captured him a few day'
ago. Yet what did they do with Gen,
eral Scheepers and a number OF 9th.
ers? They killed Scheepers without
chance. That story from England
points its own moral. :"
