The Bureau of Insular Affairs has
received by cable information from the
governor general of the Philippine Is
lands that the returns from registra-
ton preparatory to the election for
members Of the Philippine Assembly,
which will take place on July 80, seem
to indicate a falling off, as compared
with 1905. In Manila the total regis.
tration was 1902, of which number
S65 were Americans.

Manila is quite a surprise, as it was
very generally expected, in view of
the far greater number of people who
possess the necessary educational
qualifications. that the registration in
that city would be very large.
