PHILIPET

The Ill-Considered Action of an American Oficial.

The Manila Cblenews makes the follow- ing comments on the gase, referred to in our Manila Correspondent's letter publish- ed in tho Ohing Mail on the 14th inst,

The refusal of the Customs authorities to allow Frank S. Allen to enter the Philip- pine Islands, on the

ground that he is s contract labourer and that his case comes under the alien laws, may be right socord- ing to the letter of the law. But it is ridi culous. And such decisions, whether they will stand the test of legal trial or not, are calculated to injure business here and to make the United States a pear unreason- nble and a trifle foolish in the administra tion of the curious mixture of ancient and

modern laws by which justice is dealt out

here. There have been too many auch

try its They have aroused, and

rightly.

spirit of antagoniam

the part of merchants and importers, exporters and passengers, which has hurt trade, and made for Manila about the same reputation concerning its Customs administ rations that Jeffreys had as a judge. The Cableneros does not seek to find fault with Collector Shustor. That he is. wideawako, informed, and honest none can doubt, and that he does his duty to his fullest under- standing of it is evident. But the Cable neres thinks he sometimes errs on the side of overzealousness, and that the case of Allen is an example. The decision, of the Customs authorities in the inatter shows for itself. The facts in brief are these:

Allon is 21 years old, an Englishman, and an accountant by business.

A GENTLEMAN'S SMOKE.

Captain Bishop claims that when he started around the stern of the Logan he gave the necessary whistles and that he did- not see the tow-line or the collier, but supposed that all was safe, as the Saint Louis was far enough ahead for him to .continue on his way. Just as ho got clear from under the Logan he saw the collier and immediately gave an order to reverso He then the ongines, which was done. said that he began backing up, but that he was afraid to back too fast or too far for fear of backing into the Logan. In the meanwhile the collier camo ahead at a ively rate of speed and crashed into his bow before he could get out of her way, The accident delayed the Bailing of the Rohilla Maru until about 3 p.m. on the 12th inst., as she had to have the holo temporarily patched up, and also had to send in a written statement to the Marino Board. Captain Bishop was called before the board and made the statement previous. ly given. The collier, a very heavy vessel, was loaded with coal, and as she had no means of stopping herself when cast loose from the Saint Louis, she kept straight in the direction in which she was being towed. The Marine Board will investigate the matter.
