By RUEL S. MOORE

MANILA. P. l., Feb. II. UP)-
While congressional committees in
Washington, D. c., had before them
bills concerning restriction of Fill
ipino immigration, it was revealed
here today that the migratory
movement of Filipinos from the
Islands to Continental America has
been checked
The general economic distress in
the United States and expressions
of anti-Filipino sentiment in Cali
fornia were said to be responsible
for halting the migration.
Statistical reports furnished Gov
ernor General Dwight F. Davis by
Miguel Unson, insular secretary of
finance, revealed during the last
three months of 1890 only 396 Fill
pinos left for the mainland as
against 956 who chose to come back
hard times in the United States.
The governor general in a state
ment called attention to the fact
that during the last month of 1890
the number of arrivals from the
United States exceeded this num-
ber of departures as much as five
times.
In December 1890, according to
figures, departures numbered Ct
while arrivals were 1923. In Novem-
Der of the same year departures
totaled 108 as against 394 arrivals.
There were 22l departures in Oct
ober compared with 1913 arrivals.
