Reservation of Miraflores Island for quarantine station.

WHITE HOUSE, Washington, July 22, 1902.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Act of Congress approved July 1, 1902, entitled, "An Act authorizing the President to reserve public lands and buildings in the Island of Porto Rico for public uses and granting other public lands and buildings to the Government of Porto Rico, and for other purposes," Miraflores Island, in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, is hereby

reserved for use as a quarantine station or a site for a marine hospital or for both said purposes, under the control of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service of the United States. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Census of the Philippine Islands.

EXECUTIVE ORDER.

WHITE HOUSE, September 25, 1902. Whereas; By the sixth section of the Act of Congress approved July 1st, 1902, entitled "An Act Temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of civil government in the Philippine Islands, and for other purposes," it was provided "That whenever the existing insurrection in the Philippine Islands shall have ceased and a condition of general and complete peace shall have been established therein and the fact shall be certified to the President by the Philippine Commission, the President, upon being satisfied thereof, shall order a census of the Philippine Islands to be taken by said Philippine Commission; such census in its inquiries relating to the population shall take and make so far as practicable full report for all the inhabitants, of name, age, sex, race, or tribe, whether native or foreign born, literacy in Spanish, native dialect or language, or in English, school attendance, ownership of homes, industrial and social statistics, and such other information separately for each island, each province, and municipality, or other civil division, as the President and said Commission may deem necessary: Provided, That the President may, upon the request of said Commission, in his discretion, employ the service of the Census Bureau in compiling and promulgating the statistical information above provided for, and may commit to such Bureau any part or portion of such labor as to him may seem wise," and

Whereas, the said Commission has adopted and certified to me the following Resolutions:

"Resolved, That the Philippine Commission hereby certifies to the President of the United States that the recently existing insurrection in the Philippine Islands has ceased and a condition of general and complete peace has been established herein. That this certificate is made in accordance with the provisions of section six of an act temporarily to provide for the affairs of civil government in the Philippine Islands and for other purposes, and that the Commission recommends to the President of the United States that he order a census of the Philippine Islands to be taken by the Philippine Commission in accordance with the provisions of said section.

"Be it further resolved, That the foregoing certificate does not and is not intended to certify that the conditions surrounding the Lake Lanao District in Mindanao, which District forms but a small part of the territory occupied by the Moros, are those of absolute and complete peace, but that in the opinion of the Commission the language of section six and the certificate therein provided for were not intended by Congress to require before such census should be taken that complete peace should exist in the country of the wild Moros who never have taken any part in the insurrection referred to in section six."

Now, therefore: I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, in pursuance of the provisions of the law above quoted and upon the foregoing due certification, and being satisfied of the facts therein stated, do order a census of the Philippine Islands to be taken by said Philippine Commission in accordance with the provisions of the said Act of Congress.

United States Census Bureau to compile and tabulate Philippine census returns.

EXECUTIVE ORDER.

WHITE HOUSE, September 30, 1902. Whereas, on September 25, 1902, the President of the United States, pursuant to the sixth section of the Act of Congress approved July 1st, 1902, entitled "An Act Temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of civil govern

ment in the Philippine Islands, and for other purposes," did order a census of the Philippine Islands to be taken by the Philippine Commission, and

Whereas, the said Philippine Commission has since adopted and certified to the President the following resolution:

"On motion resolved that the President of the United States be requested pursuant to the provisions of section 6 of an act temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of civil government in the Philippine Islands and for other purposes to employ the services of the United States Census Bureau in compiling and promulgating the statistical information provided for in said section and that he commit to such Bureau as large a proportion of such labor as may seem to him wise, in view of the very heavy burden which the taking of the census will impose upon the revenues of the Philippine Islands, and in view further of the greater expedition with which such labor may be done with the cooperation of the United States Census Bureau."

Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, in pursuance of the law, Executive Order above cited, and the above request of the Philippine Commission, do direct the service of the United States Census Bureau in the compilation and tabulation of all Philippine Census returns transmitted to the Census Bureau by the Government of the Philippine Islands, and the printing and distribution of the printed matter in connection therewith.
