has transmitted to the senate his an
swer to the resolution of Senator Hoar
calling on him to inform the senate
what government is now existing in
the island of Guam, and asking why
Mabini is detained in that island. The
presidents letter is as follows:
ITO the Senate: In response to the
resolution of January l transmit the
attached letter from the acting secre-
tary of the navy, with Enclosures which
contain fully and specifically the infor-
nation asked for.
'In reference to the case of Mabini,
especial attention is drawn to the COM
munications of the secretary of war,
notably his communication to the de-
partment of the navy of January 8,
1902; the special dispatch of July IS,
from the war department to General
Chaffee, commanding the division of
the Philippines, and to the commune
cation of the acting secretary of the
navy of July 26, to the governor of
Guam, inclosing said letter from the
secretary of war and directing that
action in accordance Herewith be Ia
ken.
"By these letters the governor of
Guam is explicitly directed to release
from detention all prisoners, and it is
presumed that he has acted according
ly, but to provide against the slightest
chance of misapprehension he had
been specifically directed that all per-
sons found in the island under the
direction of the war department shall
be released in accordance with the
terms of the secretary of wars letter
of July IS. In other words, the in
habitant of the Philippine islands NAM
ed Mabini, concerning whom a special
inquiry is made in the resolution OF
the senate, is at liberty to go on a gov
eminent transport outside the Philip
pine islands where such transports
touch, without taking any oath of al
legiance whatever, and is allowed to
go to any part of the world save the
Philippines without taking the oath Of
allegiance; and he would be allowed to
go on any private vessel to the Phil
ippines, but he can not land there save
on condition of complying with the
act of the Philippine commission de-
handing that he take the oath of al
legiance.
This is also condition of the proc
lamatiOn of peace and amnesty.
