SLAVERY IN A“,fl‘“ll to Special Report of Com- missioner Dean of Woroester, MAKNY GIRLS STOLEN AND SOLD Washington, Aug. 28.—Slavery In the full meaning of the word exists Mlfllt the Philippines, even in the city of Manila, and peonage is general in the islands, acconding to a special report Commissiemar Dean Worcester has made te the insular government. It has not been received by the war department, but copies ara in the hands of other officials. Filipinos in parts of the islands cap- ture ohildren and sell them into slav- ery for profit. Bome are sent to China, where they are dressed in the native fashion. Some children have been enticed frem their homes by slave agems upon promise of scholarships in sohools, and some of those, in an in- stance which Mr. Worcester reports in detail, were sold and others wers farmed out for money. He cites the case of a thirteen-year- old girl bought for some pigs and a oloak. The supreme court of the is- lands released the slave trader on tha grounds that no crime had been com- mitted because no physical force had been used. Blocks Slavery Prosecutions. This one case, Mr. Worceater says, has blooked other slavery prosecu- tions. The Philippine assembly has block- od laws for the suppression of the traf- fic, he says, because many of its mem- bers come from provinces where slav- er7 flourishes. One of his reports on the traffic, he says, lies tabled In the Philippine assembly. Mr. Worcester declares he had great difficulty in getting facts regarding slave cases and intimates that reports were withheld by the officers of the Philippine constabulary. He cites the case of a Philippine assemblyman ocaught red handed owning a slave &irl in Manila and says: “I could obtain conclusive evidence of a hundred, a thousand, ten tho sand of them, but why multiply case: It is simply a case of time and work. He charges that Philippine assem- blymen maimtain peonage on their own farms. ON CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY Sulzer Asks . indictment of Murphy and Others. New York, Aug. 26.—The indict ment of Charles F.

Denial was made that there was any significance in the consideration of the question at this time.

Military lawyers are said to be convinced that authority is given by the constitution for the employment of militla in a foreign country “to execute_the laws of the nation.” They _are not all agreed on this definition of the fundamental law, however, and & lengthy debate is expected.
