Recently, the American consul at Amoy had to send back to Manila one Gregorie Manton with her two sons, Jose 14 and Pelagio 10, and her daugh- ter Aquilina, eight years old. The woman was married in 1923 to a Chinese merchant of Unisan, Taya- bas. The husband took the family to China. Three years ago he died.
