"the ship as to whether he intends to discharge the seaman in

"this Port or not, and if he decides to discharge the seaman, by

*reporting the matter to the Harbour Master and forwarding the

"Doctor's Certificate to that officer, who, on the discharge of

"the seaman being completed in accordance with law, will hand

"the certificate to the Master of the ship".

The Colonial Secretary at the same time

recommended that, if the Consul-General refused the request so

made, the matter should be laid before the Secretary of State. Sir

W. Gascoigne the Officer Administering the Government, concurred.

No reply, however, was received from the United States Consul-

General nor was the correspondence sent forward to the Secretary

of State.

On the 15th December, 1902, the Assistant

Harbour Master reported that, being desirous of visiting Manila

he went to the office of Messrs. Shewan, Tomes and Company on

the 24th of the previous month and booked his passage by the

S.S. "Zafiro" sailing on the 26th. He was then informed that in

addition to the passage money it was necessary for him to pay

the Agents a sum of $2.50, being a Poll Tax levied by the

Government of the Philippine Islands on all persons landing in

those Islands with the exception of the United States Citizens.

The Assistant Harbour Master at first demurred, but, on being

informed that in the event of his not paying the ship would be

subject to certain pains and penalties on arrival at Manila, he

paid under protest. He was also informed that it would be

necessary to be on board an hour and a quarter before the time

set for sailing. At about 11 a.m. on the 26th November the

American Doctor came on board and shortly after this the Assist-

ant Harbour Master received a message to the effect that

American Doctor wanted to see him. "To this" Captain Taylor

writes, "I replied that, if any one wanted to see me, he could

"come and see me where I was, and that I did not recognise any

"authority in a British Port on the part of United States

"Officials.
