/ medical officers connected with the
/ Philippine insular government, num-
bers of Filipinos are said were denied
passage to Hawaii in the Pacific Mail
liner Mongolia that remained at the
Pearl of the Orient for four days,
pending the sailing for Japan ports,
and Honolulu.
A new regulation that requires a
rigid examination OF all Filipinos at
the Manila or Hongkong end of the
nne, is declared as responsible in the
main, for but fifty-four Filipinos
reaching Honolulu this morning as
steerage passengers in the Mon
golia.

Planters Association conducted a
medical examination for hookworm
and other ailments with the arrival of
their charges at this port While
this investigation is still maintained,
Tie examination now in force at the
Orient, makes double inspection,
which may result in discontinuance
of the observation and research done
at Honolulu.

| ice, stationed at Manila, who hap
pened to be through passenger.

suit that the Pacific Mail skipper
