ish torpedo boat, which held UP and
examined the Philippine steamer,
Cebu, within the territorial waters OF
the Philippines, was reported to the
war department Tuesday by Governor
General Harrison. The despatch i'm
mediately was transmitted to the

the subject OF a vigorous protest to
Great Britain.
The incident occurred Monday q
mile and half off Carabao island.
According TO the report OF the steam
er's master, Lieutenant Bales, COM
manding H. NJ. s. destroyer No. 2,
boarded the Cebu. made inquiries
about its passengers and took both
the ships manifest and its passenger
list. Apparently the officer was
searching for man named Badly who
was not found.
On releasing the Cebu made this
note on its log:
Boarded at 3:4O a. M, 9-11-16,
examined and passed."
There has been more than one
complaint about the activity OF the
British vessels around the Philippines
and while Governor General Harri-
sons report furnishes the basis for a
SPECIFIC protest 1t Is probable that
Great Britain Will be called upon to
restrict the operating OF Its patroll-
