Rvv - ; IMlfBUPlif Demands a Rescission oi General Otis's Exclusion Order. PRESENTS HER ARGUMENTS. General Otis'* Order Excluding the Clil neae From the Philippines Was a Mill* tary Necessity ? The Fekln Govern went Says Tliat His Order Violatef International Law. Washington, D. C. (Special).?The Im perial Chinese Government, through Its Minister here, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, ha? lodged with the State Department an emphatic protest against the military order of General Otis excluding Chinese from the Philippines'. The Imperial Chinese Government insists that General Otis's action Is contrary to international law, in violation of existing treaties, and in complete disregard of the friendly relations which have been so long maintained between the two countries. Minister Wu called at the State Department and submitted the pro* test in person. The matter was promptly brought to the Attention of the President, as the protest rwas of such a character as to give the subtect an international aspect considerably teyond the purely military questions in? volved. It Is said that China points out that she has welcomed the recent advent of the United States Into the affairs of the Far East, and has hoped that this step wonld Drove a further bond and would ex tend the relations between the two countries, particularly In their neighboring possessions. Furthermore, among the specific points of protest submitted by the Chinese Government is one to the effect that such an order is a departure from the announced purpose of the President of the United States to maintain the present status of af* fairs in the Philippines until Congress had determined a permanent condition. The military phases of the question have been referred to Secretary Boot. Owing to bis familiarity with international law, he probably will consider the subject broadly, both in Its International, as well as its military aspects. I General Otls's order was issued some time ago, without direation from Washington, and apparently as a military necessity, although the Chinese protest urges that there is no such military necesslty, but on the contrary, that the Chinesa have rendered valuable military assist* ance. The order is signed by General Otis, a9 Military Governor of the Philippines, and j by Brlgadler-Goneral Charles A. Whitaker, as Collector of Customs, having supervision of Chinese aitalrs. It says: "The laws of the United States which prohibit the entrance of Chinese will ba enforced here." The decree then excepts such Chinese a* have previously lived in the Philippines, and wdo hold certificates showing this fact. It also excepts Chinese officials, travelers, etc., excepted under the treaty bet ween the United States and China. Provision is made for registering the Chinese'ln the Philippines, and their deEortatlon to China in case of failure to regter. As very few Chinese, other thaD those now in the Philippines, come within the exceptions, the effect of the decree is to make the exclusion practically absolute. General Otis made a report to the Wa: Department on April 1 last on the execu* tlon of the decree. He said only Chinese In good health, who previously resided in the Philippines were.permitted to land at Manila, Cebu, or Iloilo?the only three open ports in the archipelago. fie also explained the methods of registering, fees, etc. It is understood that the Chinese Government regards tae outcome of this protest with much apprehension. It is pointed out mac toe uninese nave ueeu iuu% esitiullshed in the Philippines, aud that a considerable branch of the industry of the islands is conducted by them and that this complete termination of along-established aommunicatloa between China and the Philippines injures these people both personally and materially. The Chinese protest is couched in mo3t dignified and courteous terms, but to be so pointed that no doubt is left as to the deep umbrage the Chinese Government (eels over this order of General Otis.

WILL FIGHT FOR VINDICATION. ' ^aH ' ' ",1 President Lonbet Grant* the French Captain a Pardon?News Received Quietly In Paris-One of the Flrit Defenders of Dreyfns Dead-Trial of Conspirator* Against the Government. Pabis (By Cable).?A pardon for Captain Ufred Dreyfus, convicted by court-martial at Renne3 of treason, "with extenuating circumstances," was signed by President Loubet. This action was decided upon at a Council of Ministers. . The pardon has by no means given full satisfaction either to Dreyfus, his relatives or his friends. It Is reported that were it not for the extremely precarious condition 3( the prisoner's health he would never tmve accepted It. Ia accepting the pardon, Dreyfus, of course, abandoned his appeal for a revision of the verdict 61 the military court, but this will not la any way prevent ' him from demanding the quashing of the < verdict by the Conrt of Cassation. For this the new fact as to the production of the document enumerated In the bordereau will be necessary. His lawyers are at work and hope to bring-forward a new fact to get the Bennes verdict quashed. There Is much remark here on the strange coincidence of the death of 91. Soheurer* Eestner, the first champion of Dreyfus and to whom Dreyfus virtually owes his free* ' dom, on the day when the Cabinet decided to pardon him. M. Scheurer-Kestner'a death was sudden.' He had been ill for the last few days, but It was not thought that his Illness would prove fatal. The decision of the Cabinet to pardon Dreyfus created less interest in Paris than would the result of a .big bor$e race. In fact, it may be 9ald that it canned no excitement whatever. There was no rioting on the boulevards. In front or the offices of the Libre Parole, where a crowd usually assembles iu the evening to gaze upon the huge colored transparencies outBide the windows of the leading antiSemite organ, there was not the slightest gathering or the faintest sign of demonstration elthe* for or against Dreyfus. One would think that the fire of the Dreyfus agitation had burned itself out. > The anti-Dreyfusarl evening papers tried to Infuse Interest into the Government's action by a rabid attack upon President Loubet, but their efforts were fntUe. The peaceful crowds that filled the tables in front of the cafes, sipping their after dinner coffee, looked at the newsboys who displayed the front pages of these sheets r with their violent headline*, but refused to get excited. Tho majority did not even discuss the matter or only made the passing remark that the declslou was what bad been expected and predicted by every Parisian newspaper since the Cenaes courtmartial delivered its verdict. President Loubet has visited the site ot the Exposition ot 1930, and has urged the directors of the works to exert themselves to the utmost in order to show to the world ,< in 1900 that France is still a "strong, laborious, united nntlon, whose generous . -.jj soul Is tilled with the sense of ber mission of progress and peace, and'that she has not been affeoted by fleeting quarrels." It is expected that the work of the High frtnpf'a rnrsaUffntinff Committee. an- ] pointed to inquire lato the charges of conspiring to change the form of Government brought against SI. Deroulede and others, will take from four to six weeks. When this task is completed the High Court (Senate) will reconvene. It is expected its sessions will take up a month. i 01. GUEBIN M12J2KLY SCBKEXDEBS. Six Wee km' Siege at Fort Chabrol End* in a Kidlcnloos Style. Pabis (By fable) ?Precisely at tho hour .? Appointed a captain of the Municipal Guards rapped at the door of Fort Chabrol. There was a moment of expectation and Chen the doo*.opened. SI. Gaerln calmly presented himself, meekly,surrendered and eras driven to the police station io an open jab, seated beslaa the captain of the Guards. His companions were allowed to jo free. The six weeks' siege tnded In ridiculous style. The night was well chosen by the Gov 9rnment,~as the excitement over the cap:ure of the fort would inevitably divert ' ittention from the pardon extended to * Dreyfus. The plan was to attack the sulidlng and arrest Gaerlu and his band. The Government had given him until 4 3'clock In the morning to surrender, and had a regular army to assault the fort if he refused. Troops, municipal guards, mounted and on foot, and policemen to the number of nearly a thousand were dlspatohed to cordon all the streets within :he radius of a quarter of a mile of Fort Chabrol. The neighborhood presented a picturesque scene. One would imagine :hat a general assault upon a fortlded amp was about to take place. The cordon teas exceedingly strict. Infantry officers and officers of the Municipal Guard paced up and down daring :he hours of waiting, glancing up at the windows of the fort,from whlcli In the dim, gray light of the eutly morning could be listingulshed a black flag, hoisted from :he second floor, and u white sheet hanging iown, with the device in black lettering, "Vive l'Armee" and "A bos les Traltres." When M. Guerin'3 companions separated :hey took coaches and were driven off. rben the troops departed, followed by the Municipal Guards and only a few police remained in the F.ue de Chabrol to keep >rder. An immense crowd lingered to the 3nd to watch the proceedings and then iispersed with little or no disturbance. ciPMFR INSANE OVER GOLF. ... - I Trle> to Knock Cabbage Heads Over a Hencoop With a Hickory Cane.
