STILL AN ALIEN
Although He Served the Government
All Through the Civil War.

New York, July AFTER fighting for
his adopted country and sustaining a
serious wound on the field of Antietam,
being invalided into the field hospital
and later honorably mustered out of the
service, Terrence Collins. 20 years of
age, has been held by the immigration
authorities at Ellis island on the ground
that he is an alien and must submit to
the usual examination of foreigners, and
possibly be ordered before a board of
special inquiry and deported. as his age
might be held prejudicial to his taking
up his residence in this country at this
late day.
Collins was stupefied by the announce
ment and declared he was a citizen of
the United States He told the Off
Gals of many persons he knew in New
York. Collins trouble arose from the
fact that upon returning to Ireland he
had found his right name. He lived here
under that of Gibbons. having taken tins
name of his uncle with whom he came
over originally. His explanation caused
the matter to be placed in the hands of
a special board and he probably will be
permitted to land
