N0. 30. Washington, June 7, 1887.

By direction ofthe Secretary of War paragraph 786 of the Regu-
lations is amended to read as follows:

780. In accepting recruits at rendezvous, Greenleaf’s Epitome of
Tripler‘s Manual gives the required standard of qualifications, and
is also the standard for inspection after the recruits arrive at the
depot; except that the following instructions will govern in exam-
ining the eye and ear:

1. No recruit shall he enlisted who cannot see well. at six hun-
dred yards distance, a black center three feet in diameter on a white
ground. The test will be made by means of cards hearing the twenty
feet test-types and test-characters of Snellen, which will be supplied
by the Surgeon General; the types to be used for men who can read
and the characters for those who cannot read.

After arrival at the depot, the medical officer shall make further
examination ofthe recruit with the charts, glasses. and other visual
tests furnished him, with the view of determining the existence of
astigmatism or other defects of vision which have not been dis-
covered at rendezvous, and any defect which would disqualify the
recruit for rifle service is cause for rejection.

2. Recruits will also be examined for color-blindness. Any defect
observed will be noted on the descriptive list ofthe soldier, but will
not of itself constitute a cause of rejection, except in the case of
enlistments for the Signal Corps. The examination for this defect
will be made by the method of Holmgren. Test-wools for the pur-
pose, accompanied with printed directions for their use, will be
issued to the principal recruiting depots by the Surgeon General.

8. All men enlisted for the artillery arm of the service at :1 mil-
itary post, or assigned to that arm from a depot, shall, before such
enlistment or assignment, besides undergoing the ordinary exami-
nation, bc examined especially with a view to establishing the fact of
the patcncy 0f the Eustachian tubes and the integrity of the tympanic
membranes, in default of which the men are unlit for that arm. .

By direction of the Secretary of War, the following procla-

the Army for the information and guidance of all concerned:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

1 A proclamation.

3. Whereas. Many of the inhabitants of the Philippine Archipelago were

1 in insurrection a gainst the authority and sovereignty of the Kingdom of

1 Spain at divers times from August, eighteen hundred and ninety-six. until

‘ the cession of the archipelago by that Kingdom to the United States of
America. and since such eession many of the persons so engaged in insur-'
rection have until recently resisted the authority and sovereignty of the
United States: and

\Vhereas. The insurrection against. the authority and sovereignty of the
United States is now at an end. and peace has been established in all parts
of the archipelago except in the country inhabited by the Moro tribes. to
which this proclamation does not apply: and

Whereas. During the course of the insurrection airainst the Kingdom of
Spain and against the Government: of the United States. persons engaged
therein. or those in sympathy with and abetting them, committed many
acts in violation of the laws of civilized warfare: but it is believed that
such acts were generally committed in ignorance of those laws. and under
orders issued by the civil or insurrectionary leaders: and

\Vhereas. It is deemed to be wise and humane, in accordance with the
bencliccnt purposes of the Government of the United States towards the
Filipino people. and conducive to peace. order, and loyalty among them.
that the doors of such acts who have not already suffered punishment
shall not be held criminally responsible, but shall be relieved from pun-
ishment for participation in these insurrections and for unlawful acts
committed during: the course thereof by a general amnesty and pardon:

. Now. therefore. be it known that I, ’l‘nI-zopoun Roosnyrzlxr. President
of the United States of America. by virtue of the power and authority
vested in me by the Constitution. do here oy proelaim and declare without
reservation or condition. except as hereinafter provided. a full and com-
plete pardon and amnesty to all persons in the Philippine Archipelago '
who have participated in the insurrections aforesaid or who have given
aid and comfort to persons participating in said insurrections for the
offenses of treason or sedition and for all offenses political in their char-
aetereommitted in the course of such insurrections pursuant to orders
issued by the civil or military insurrectionary authorities. or which grew
out of internal political feuds or disscnsions. between Filipinos and Span-

 2
' inrds. orthe Spanish authorities. or which resulted from internal political
feuds or dissensions among the Filipinos themselves during eitherof suid
insurrections:

Provided. however. that the pardon and amnesty hereby granted shull
not include such persons commit-tin;r crimes since May first, nineteen
hundred and two. in any province of the archipelago in which ‘.tL the time
civil government was established. nor shall it include such persons as
have been heretofore finally convicted of the crimes of murder. rape. arson
or robbery. by any military or civil tribunal organized under the uuthority
of Spain. or of the United States of America. but special application may
he made to the proper authority for pardon by any person belonging to the
exempted classes and such clemency as is consistent with humanity and
justice will he liberally extended: and

Furtherprovided. That this amnesty and pardon shall not effect the title
or right of the Government of the United States. or that of the Philippine
Islands to any property or property rights heretofore used or uimroprinted
by the military or civil uuthorities of the Government of the United States.
or that of the Philippine Islands. organized under authority of the United
States by way of confiscation or otherwise: and

Provided further. Thut every person who shall seek to avail himself of
this proclamation shall take and subscribe the following: oath before any
authority in the Philippine Archipelago authorized to administer oathsv
namely:

"1. i solemnly swear (or affirm) that I recognize and accept
the. supreme authority of the United States of America in the Philippine
Islands and will maintain true faith and allegiance thereto; that I impose
upon myself this obligation voluntarily without mental reservation or
purpose of evasion. So help me God."

Given under my hand at the City of Washington this fourth day of July.

one hundred and twenty-seventh year of the Independence of the United

It appears from these papers that payment of the. said account was de—
clined under circular issued by the Paymaster‘s Department dated No-

from Zamboanga,1’. 1.. to t‘ebu, P. I. Lieut. (,‘ol. Morrison alleges that he
went from Zamboanga to Manila on the U. S. transport “ Relief," and from
Manila to t‘ebu on the U. 8. transport “Sumner” ; that on arriving at
Manila on or about Dec. 25. 1901. he went ashore to await the sailing of the
" Sumner,“ which took place on or about Jan. 4. 1902: and that while thus ,
waiting: on shore he incurred necessary living expenses amounting to
$19.82, for which he asks reimbursement, provided that it is held by the
accounting" oliicers that actual expenses. and not mileage. are legally pay»
able for a journey of this character.

The mileage law in force at the time the journey was performed was the
act of May its. moo (31 Stat. 210), which provides:

For mileage to officers and contract surgeons, when authorized by law,
five hundred thousand dollars: * ‘-“ ‘41 And provided,f'url/m', 'l‘hat actual
expenses only shall be paid to officers for sea travel when traveling, as
herein provided for. to. from. or between ourisland possessions: * * “‘

Under this law. I am of opinion that this was a journey for which actual
expenses only are payable, and that Lieut. t‘ol. Morrison’s stay on land at
Manila was an incident of his journey from Zamboanga to tlebu, for which
he was in no way responsible. and that he is entitled to his reasonable
actual expenses while ashore awaiting the sailim.r of the transport, the
same as while actually on the transport. and moving. until he arrived at
his destination. i’aymaster ll'atrwm is authorized to pay Lieut. (‘ol.
.llnrrimu his actual expenses as claimed. All papers herewith returned.
