Philippine Assembly Passes
Law Prohibiting Slavery

MANILA, Nov. 15.--An anti-slavery
law was passed today by the Philip
pine National Assembly after heated
debate.
The measure, which was framed by
William H. Phipps, the insular au-
ditor, reaffirms the old Spanish sta
tutes against slavery and incorporates
the American laws. The vote in op-
position to the enactment of the
measure was small, IN spite OF the
warmth Of the discussion.
