Privileges as Amer

The State Department has made the
following official announcement regard
ing the status of travelling Filipincs.
Porto Ricans and other citizens OF he
insular possessions of the United States:
In consequence of the act passed at
the last Congress, approved June Il,
1862, amending the Revised Statutes Of
The United States so as to permit OF
the issuance OF passports to persons
owing allegiance to the United States,
whether citizens or not, the Secretary OF
State has drawn up the rules under
which passports shall hereafter be
granted, and has submitted them to the
President. who has approved and sign
ed them.
Hereafter. therefore, passports will
be issued to loyal Filipinos, Porto Ri
cans, etc.. under rules prescribed by the
President, which are about to be sent
to the civil governor of the Philippines
and to the other .rsalar governors.
Since the war with Spain, under In
structions OF Secretary Hay. the diplo-
matte and consular officers of the United
States have accorded to loyal residents
of our insular possessions the same pro-
lection of person and property as Is ac-
corded to native American citizens. but
this protection has unfortunately here
tofore precluded the issuance Of the
passport, which, under the law, was
strictly confined to citizens of the Uni-
ted States.
THE effect of the new law and Of the
rules now going into effect will be to
extend to loyal residents Of our in
sular possessions the same protection
and the same passports as citizens OF
the United States will enjoy on their
travels"

RECOVERY DOUBTFUL.
Aged Negroes Injuries More Serious
Than First Suspected.

The injuries of Frank Davenport. col
ored, seventy years old. who was the
victim OF the accident at the e;:cava-

supposed. and very delicate operation
has been performed at the Emergency
Hospital by Dr. Stuart.
1t was found that the left leg was
crushed below the knee and the bones
literally crumbled. Sixteen pieces were

six inches In length. These we're put

After the operation had been COM

in the other leg and examination dis

OF his injuries render problematic his

Already Attracting Attention.

His acts as superintendent of insur-
ance have already attracted widespread
attention. particularly en- account of his
attitude toward preliminary term com
panies, and also because of his efforts
TO suppress underground FIRE insurance.
The positive stand which he has taken
upon these questions has already sub
jected him to attack and criticism.
which. however, he appears rather to
welcome than discourage.
These facts are presented as jndi
eating the character of the supervision
which is likely to occur under Federal
authority, either in its present limited
scope. or in the large scope which may
materialize under the Department of
Commerce. 1t seems to show that the
disposition at Washington among Fed

practical experience to supervise the

By direction of the Adjutant General,
Major James Parker has recently COM

there were 2.561 engagements between

The paper prepared by Major Parker

on the American troops, or small skir-

of the article is taken up with per-

For the first time in the history of

thorized supervisor Of underwriting in
terests has been established in Wash

troll only of insurance matters relating
to the District of Columbia, but coinci-

movement or foot to create in Washing

which it is expected there will be su-
pervision OF insurance interests doing
an interstate business.

Under these circumstances it is in
