EEbAd 1 Bpectal Dispatch to The Call, WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—The landing of the shipload of Chinese now at Ma- nila will depend on military expediency, which will be determined by General Otis. If in his judgment the landing of the 700 Chinese will not interfere with the mili- tary conditions or disturb the situation they may land. The conditions in the Philippines, it is pointed out, are such as to make the entry of the Chinese labor- ers a disturbing element. The Filipinos are opposed to them, and there is a bit- ter feeling existing against the Chinese here. 5 nol?i: believed hers that if the (nl}bd States military authorities allow the Chi- nese free access to the Philippines it will exasperate the people and tend to retard the pacification of the islands. This 18 one of the reasons given why it is neces- gary from a military standpoint to keep them out. It has been represented, how- ever, by the Chinese Minister that the landing of the 700 Chinese now at Manila could do no harm and that to return them to China would be a severe hardship. It is this individual case which General Otis is to decide, but it is well understood that whatever is done In this instance will have no effect in determining the other ques- tions presented by the Chinese upon the general subject of exclusion. _However, it is understood that the military neces- sity of the case will determine what shall be done while the islands are under a military government and the subiect will bhe handled from that standpoint rather than with veference to the fact that a Chinese exclusion law is in force in the United States.

Broughton, Famous As- trologer, Dies Nearly at the Time He Had Foretold. NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—Dr. Luke D. Broughton, president of the Astrological Soclety of America, died to-day.
