The answer is based on a different con- struction of the act thin that contended for by Lieutenant Edwards, and denies that the petitioner's rank has been re- duced or that his promotion has been de- layed, and alleges the petitioner's present rank in the artillery is the true one. The answer also contends that the courts can- not control or change the records of the War department or the eptries of the off- cial army register. The execution of tne act, the answer alleged is vested in the president and secrs.ary of war, and it s held that the courts are without ity to review the acts of the executive in the matter.

The clerk’s refusal to accept the declaration was on the ground that a Filipino is not an alien, and consequently cannot renounce the alle- glance he seeks to relinquish The Filipino alleged that he was born of Spanish parents in Manila in 1880, and lived at Manila until seven years ago. The court held that on the charge of sover- elgnty of a country or a part thereof, the inbabitants had the right te choose their alleglance. The plaintift had not declared his inten- tion to retain Spanish allegiance within a year, as required by the Paris treaty, but the court held that as he was a minor at that time he had a right to elect his na- tionality upon attainment of his majority Opisso had elected to retain his Spanish citizenchip, and therefore was still an allen, and had a right to apply for citi- zenship here The court did not, however, discuss the general question of nationality of the peo- ple of the Philippine islands.
