Maxwell The National Archives National Archives and Records Service General Services Administration Washington: 1971 National Archives Inventory Series No. 3 Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 78-172934 72-2 OlQ, '3 S'33 Foreword The General Services Administration, through the National Archives and Records Service, is responsible for administering the permanent noncurrent records of the Federal Government. These archival holdings, now amounting to more than 900,000 cubic feet, date from the days of the First Continental Congress and include the basic records of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of our Government. The Presidential libraries—the Herbert Hoover Library, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, the Harry S. Truman Library, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library, the John F. Kennedy Library, and the Lyndon B. Johnson Library—contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. Among our holdings are many hallowed documents relating to great events of our Nation’s history, preserved and venerated as symbols to stimulate a worthy patriotism in all of us. Most of the records, however, are less dramatic and are kept because of their continuing practical utility for the ordinary processes of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of students and scholars. To facilitate the use of the records and to describe their nature and content, our archivists prepare' various kinds of finding aids. The present work is one such publication. We believe that it will prove valuable to anyone who wishes to use the records it describes. ROBERT L.

Preface Inventories are issued as finding aids by the National Archives to help its staff render efficient reference service, to establish administrative control over the records in its custody, and to acquaint the public with its holdings. An inventory covers one of the 400 record groups (or an integral part of a record group) to which the holdings of the National Archives are allocated. Each inventory contains an introduction briefly stating the history and functions of the Government agency that accumulated the records described in the inventory. The records are described series by series; that is, by units of records of the same form, on the same subject or activity, or in the same serial file. Other significant information about the records is sometimes given in appendixes. Preliminary inventories, which constitute another series of finding aids, have essentially the same content as inventories but are prepared and issued as soon as possible after receipt of the records. Inventories are issued after the records have been analyzed to ensure their completeness, to eliminate disposable materials, and to arrange and describe in greater detail the remaining records. Several finding aids that give an overall picture of materials in the National Archives have been published, including the Guide to the Records in the National Archives (1948). A guide devoted to one geographical area—Guide to Materials on Latin America in the National Archives (1961)—has been issued. Forty-six reference information papers, which analyze records in the National Archives on such subjects as transportation, small business, and the Middle East, have been published. Records of the Civil War have been described in Guide to Federal Archives Relating to the Civil War (1962), Guide to the Archives of the Government of the Confederate States of America (1968), and Civil War Maps in the National Archives (1964); those of World War I in Handbook of Federal World War Agencies and Their Records, 1917-1921 (1943); and those of World War II in the two-volume guide Federal Records of World War II (1950-51). VI PREFACE Genealogical records have been listed in Guide to Genealogical Records in the National Archives (1964). Among the holdings of the National Archives are large quantities of audiovisual materials received from all sources: Government, private, and commercial. The Guide to the Ford Film Collection in the National Archives (1970) describes one of the largest private gift collections. Many records of high research value have been microfilmed by the National Archives as a form of publication. Positive prints of this microfilm, many of which are described in the List of National Archives Microfilm Publications (1968), are available for purchase. JAMES B.

On December 13, 1898, a Division of Customs and Insular Affairs was established in the Office of the Secretary of War to administer “all matters pertaining to the customs of the Islands of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines, and all civil affairs relating to those islands as distinguished from matters of a military character connected with the Government of the islands.” A War Department order of December 10, 1900, changed the name of the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs to the Division of Insular Affairs and made it responsible for administering the customs and civil affairs of Cuba and the Philippine Islands. An act approved July 1, 1902 (32 Stat. 712), continued the Division, giving it legal status as the Bureau of Insular Affairs reporting to the Secretary of War. The Bureau of Insular Affairs was the depository of all records relating to the civil government of Cuba and the Philippines that did not remain in the islands. These records include interpretations of the purpose and intent of orders, laws, and rulings, and document decisions by the Secretary of War on civil questions that arose in the government of the islands. The Bureau prepared and submitted to the Secretary of War such information regarding the islands as Congress required. It transmitted the Secretary’s instructions and orders to the insular governments and handled their correspondence with him and with other departments of the U.S. Government, including the State Department when communication with foreign nations was necessary. The Bureau was the information center regarding the islands and compiled data to supply the demand for knowledge about them. It distributed thousands of printed documents and answered many inquiries, ranging from applications for positions to questions on land titles, Chinese immigration, and customs regulations. It furnished commercial interests in the United States with information on trade statistics, tariffs, customs duties, and laws of the islands; kept accounts of receipts and disbursements of insular revenues; and prepared tariffs for Cuba and the Philippines, edited customs regulations, and prepared accounting regulations. Supervision of the civil government of the Philippine Islands was the only function exercised continuously by the Bureau of Insular Affairs during its 41 years of existence. Its other functions included supervision of the civil affairs of the government of Puerto Rico, 1898-1900 and 1909-34; the civil affairs of the Military Government of Cuba, 1898-1902, and the Provisional Government of Cuba, 1906-9; the Dominican Customs Receivership, 1905-39; and the Haitian Customs Receivership, 1920-24. It also had certain duties relative to the Panama Canal, March-May 1904 and January-April 1905. 1 2 INTRODUCTION The Bureau acted to some extent as a central clearinghouse for information relating to all the territories and insular possessions, including the Philippine Islands, Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal Zone, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, Samoa, and the Virgin Islands. However, hope for the creation in the War Department of an office similar to a European central office of colonial administration was never completely realized. On July 1, 1939, under the authority of Reorganization Plan No. II, the Bureau’s remaining functions were transferred to the Department of the Interior and consolidated with those of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions. This Division has been known since July 28, 1950, as the Office of Territories. AREAS ADMINISTERED BY THE BUREAU Philippine Islands A large part of the Bureau records concerns the Philippine Islands—not only because they represented its one continuous responsibility but also because they were a large island group with many and complex problems. Although the administrative powers of the Bureau were never clearly defined legally, in practice they were primarily to gather information, to advise, and to formulate and recommend policies to the Secretary of War rather than to execute them. The Bureau purchased and shipped supplies for the Philippines; made appointments of persons in the United States to the Philippine Civil Service; gathered statistics on insular imports and exports, shipping, and immigration; and disbursed Philippine funds in the United States, handled matters relating to Philippine bonds, reviewed the receipts and expenditures of the Philippine Government, and acted as custodian of securities given by banks in the United States named as depositories of Philippine funds. It also controlled the Philippine Government’s appointment of native students to colleges and universities in the United States. In brief, the Bureau looked after the Philippine interests in the United States and represented the islands before the executive department, the Congress, and the American public. As part of these activities it made studies of questions relating to financial matters, tariffs, navigation, land laws, commerce, industry, customs, and education. These functions of the Bureau continued until November 15, 1935, when the Philippine Islands became a commonwealth in accordance with the Tydings-McDuffie Act of March 24, 1934 (48 Stat. 456). The act provided that the Philippines should achieve complete independence within 10 years and that in the interim a U.S. High Commissioner should represent U.S. interests in the Philippines. Frank Murphy, incumbent Governor General of the Philippines, took office as first High Commissioner when the Commonwealth was proclaimed. The High Commissioner was responsible for issuing, amending, renewing, and extending passports in the Philippines; registering aliens desiring to enter the country; acting as the U.S. Sugar Authority in the islands; and performing certain functions in alien deportation matters. The President of the United States was to assign other responsibilities and duties as the need arose. The Bureau’s responsibilities regarding the Philippines lessened after the islands attained commonwealth status, and on July 1, 1939, those responsibilities were transferred to the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, where they remained until the Philippines acquired their independence in 1946. Puerto Rico The second largest segment of the Bureau’s records relate to Puerto Rico. The War Department’s jurisdiction over the civil affairs of that island since its occupation in 1898 was INTRODUCTION 3 ended by an act of April 12, 1900 (31 Stat. 77), which provided for a territorial form of government. This act required the Governor to report to the Department of State and subordinate officials to report through him as follows: the Treasurer and the Auditor to the Department of the Treasury, the Attorney General to the Department of Justice, and the Commissioner of Education and the Commissioner of the Interior to the Department of the Interior. This divided control was discontinued by an act of July 15, 1909 (36 Stat. 11), and the Bureau of Insular Affairs was again made responsible for the administration of civil affairs in Puerto Rico. Specifically, the Bureau supervised and reviewed all matters under the jurisdiction of the War Department relating to civil government in Puerto Rico. During the periods 1898-1900 and 1909-34, the Bureau was the point of contact for all civil transactions between the insular and Federal Governments, acted as a clearing office for all correspondence, and served as a depository and source of data on Puerto Rican matters. The Bureau advised and assisted the Congress and the Puerto Rican Delegate in Congress in matters affecting the island. It rendered similar assistance to the executive departments, independent agencies, and the general public in connection with the island, and it arranged for presentation before U.S. courts of all cases in which Puerto Rico was concerned. It followed closely the trend of Puerto Rican affairs and made studies of policy questions and other subjects, such as finance (including bonded indebtedness), tariffs, navigation, and public laws. It also studied commercial and industrial relations between the island and the United States and compiled data to serve as the basis for decisions of the Secretary of War and the President. The Bureau purchased and shipped supplies for the Puerto Rican Government and supervised the New York office of the Purchasing Agent for the Puerto Rican Government. The Bureau’s supervision of fiscal affairs in Puerto Rico included controlling the issue, sale, redemption and cancellation of Puerto Rican bonds; designating depositories for Puerto Rican funds in the United States and elsewhere; serving as custodian of collateral securities of depositories; handling claims for damages, losses, and shortages in shipments to Puerto Rico; and assembling financial data of all kinds regarding the island. A very important function of the Bureau, performed at the request of the Puerto Rican Government, was the selection and appointment of persons residing in the United States to positions in Puerto Rico. The Bureau arranged for the transportation of such appointees to Puerto Rico and handled such details of their travel as Internal Revenue clearances and the obtaining of passports. Cuba Under the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain signed at Paris on December 10, 1898, Spain was to relinquish all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba. The Spanish evacuated Cuba on January 1, 1899, and government of the island passed to a military governor as the representative of the United States. Military government continued until May 20, 1902, when T. Estrada Palma, first President of Cuba, was inaugurated under the republican Constitution that had been adopted. On this date Gen. Leonard Wood, the Military Governor, formally transferred the government to the newly elected President. When insurrection broke out in Cuba in 1906, President Palma appealed for U.S. intervention to maintain order as provided for by the Platt Amendment, which had been incorporated into the Cuban Constitution. On September 29, 1906, Secretary of War Taft, who had gone to Cuba as mediator between the Palma government and the insurrectionists, issued a 4 INTRODUCTION proclamation establishing a provisional government in the name of the President of the United States, with himself as Provisional Governor. Charles E. Magoon became Provisional Governor on October 13, 1906; and on October 23, 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt issued an Executive order placing the Bureau in charge of all matters in the United States relating to the “temporary administration of the government of the Republic of Cuba.” When General Jose Miguel Gomez was inaugurated as President of Cuba on January 28, 1909, Provisional Governor Magoon relinquished his post in accordance with instructions from the President of the United States. Although the administrative powers of the Bureau with respect to Cuba were never clearly defined, it may be said, in general, that the Bureau interpreted the purpose and intent of orders, laws, and rulings and furnished data required by the Secretary of War in deciding civil questions that arose in the government of the islands. Important services rendered by the Bureau during the period of military government included supervising the constitutional convention, helping to formulate the electoral law, preparing a detailed report of receipts and expenditures in Cuba, collecting evidence of defalcations in the Cuban Department of Posts, revising the administration of the customs service in Cuba, revising the Cuban tariff, and assisting the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission. After the military government was discontinued on May 20, 1902, the liquidation of its affairs was handled from Washington by an agency known as the Late Military Government of Cuba. The Bureau cooperated with the Late Military Government in bringing the latter’s business to a close, and by May 1903 all records of the military government that had been shipped from Havana were deposited with the Bureau. Thereafter the Bureau acted as an archival agency with respect to the records of the military government, searching the records and making reports in response to specific inquiries. Panama Canal Records concerning the Isthmus of Panama that were kept in the War Department were turned over to the Bureau on March 1, 1904, and maintained there until May 13 when they were placed in the Assistant Secretary’s Office. On January 17, 1905, they were returned to the Bureau, where they remained until April 21 when the reorganization of the Panama Canal Commission was completed and all records and functions were transferred to the Commission’s administrative office. The Bureau aided in effecting the organization of the Panama Canal Commission and sent several trained employees to assist with the work of the office in 1905. Dominicaii Republic Early in the 20th century the United States entered into a series of discussions with the Dominican Republic in order to avert threatened intervention by foreign creditors of that country. Provisions of a convention were drawn up authorizing the United States to assume the collection and administration of the Dominican Repubhc’s customs duties for the purpose of adjusting recognized foreign claims. This convention was not ratified by the United States but a modus vivendi embodying its provisions was proclaimed by the President of the Dominican Republic, effective April 1, 1905, and a receivership was established in accordance with its terms. General regulations for the Dominican Customs Receivership were established by the American- Dominican Convention concluded on February 8, 1907, which granted the United States the right to collect Dominican customs duties until all indebtedness was paid off. INTRODUCTION 5 The affairs of the Receivership had been supervised from the beginning by the Bureau of Insular Affairs, and this supervision was formalized by an Executive order issued July 25, 1907, directing that accounts of the General Receiver be rendered “to the Contaduria General of the Dominican Republic, and to the State Department of the United States, and referred for examination and verification to the Bureau of Insular Affairs, which shall have immediate supervision and control of the Receivership, pursuant and subject to such directions in regard thereto as shall be received from the President directly or through the Secretary of State.” After 1924 the Receivership operated under regulations prescribed by the American- Dominican Convention of that year. The Bureau continued to exercise immediate supervision and control until July 1, 1939, when this responsibility was transferred to the Division of Territories and Island Possessions. On June 30, 1940, all responsibility for the receivership was transferred from the Division of Territories and Island Possessions to the Department of State. Control of customs receipts passed into Dominican hands under provisions of the Trujillo-Hull Treaty, signed at Washington on September 24, 1940. Haitian Customs Receivership On September 21, 1920, the Secretary of State requested the Secretary of War to have the Bureau of Insular Affairs undertake the immediate supervision and control of the Haitian Customs Receivership and the auditing of its accounts on behalf of the United States. This was authorized under article VII of a treaty between the United States and Haiti, signed on September 16, 1915. The Bureau supervised Haitian customs matters until the Secretary of State advised the Secretary of War on July 3, 1924, that a comptroller had been appointed to supervise accounts of the Receiver General and the Financial Adviser and that it was no longer necessary for the Bureau to administer Haitian customs. ORGANIZATION OF BUREAU RECORDS Correspondence and reports of the Bureau of Insular Affairs consist chiefly of three major series; namely, the general classified files, the customs files, and the Dominican Customs Receivership files. All three series are filed in accordance with the arbitrary numerical scheme adopted generally in the War Department in the early 1890’s. Although this scheme was abandoned elsewhere in the War Department about 1914, it was continued in the Bureau without any marked modification to 1939. In each series, items were numbered consecutively beginning with 1. In instances where a communication or record referred to a subject, firm, or individual already assigned a number, that communication was added as an enclosure to the file to which it related and was assigned an enclosure number, such as 1-1 or 1-59, indicating enclosure 1 or enclosure 59 of file No. 1. Whenever it became necessary to file supplementary material with an enclosure, the supplementary material was designated “with”; for example, “with 1641-35,” indicating that the item is supplementary to enclosure 35 of file No. 1641. (It is significant to note that while customary usage would identify an item placed in the same category with another item as a “with” item and a supplementary item as an “enclosure,” the Bureau of Insular Affairs ascribed opposite meanings to these words.) Occasionally “after” is used instead of “with.” Before 1914 correspondence and reports of the Bureau were folded and stored in narrow, patented Woodruff files. When flat filing was adopted in 1914, each numbered file was kept fastened in folders; all numbers except those for file headings abandoned before 1914 were 6 INTRODUCTION carried over into the flat files, where enclosures later than 1914 will be found. In the folded files “with” items were folded within the related enclosures; in the flat files, however, “with” documents are fastened together and filed separately after the file. The general classified files include correspondence and reports on all phases of the Bureau’s activities except those relating specifically to customs and to the Dominican Customs Receivership. Correspondence and other records relating to customs matters in areas other than the Dominican Republic were kept separate, and a separate series of numbers, preceded by the letter “C,” was used to designate them. Customs matters were entered on separate record cards, but only one index was maintained. (For an explanation of the record cards and index, see entries 2 and 3.) References to the “C” files are given in the index; for example, “Textiles, duty on, C-1094.” Correspondence and other records of the Bureau relating to the administration of the Dominican Customs Receivership, 1905-39, were maintained as a third series apart from the other correspondence files and designated “SD” for Santo Domingo. This SD series was established in 1905 when the Receivership began and was continued throughout the Bureau’s existence, although no new subjects were assigned to the series after 1911. Separate record cards were maintained with the designation SD before the number. References to the record cards and the records relating to the Dominican Customs Receivership are given in the index; for example, “Engineers, SD-156.” Before 1914 the Bureau maintained records relating to persons in the three series mentioned above. When flat filing was adopted in 1914, correspondence and reports relating to individual persons were filed alphabetically by surname in a series of personal name information files. These files are located through use of the index, which gives the numbers of numerical files created before 1914 and the designation “P” for files created after that date. When all functions and records of the Bureau of Insular Affairs were transferred to the Division of Territories and Island Possessions in 1939, that Division continued to use and to add file notations and records to the general classified files, the index, and the record cards. For that reason certain numbered files of the Bureau extend beyond 1939, in some instances as late as 1945. The records described in this inventory comprise all existing records of the Bureau of Insular Affairs. They are designated as Record Group 350 and amount to 1,632 cubic feet, including 26 feet of photographs and 1 foot of maps. The records date from 1898 to 1939, with some documents dating to 1945. In this inventory the entries for cartographic records are based on descriptions of records prepared by Charlotte M. Ashby. There are closely related records in the National Archives on geographical areas that were administered by the Bureau. Records of the Office of Territories, including the former Division of Territories and Island Possessions (Record Group 126), contain correspondence and reports of a similar nature on Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands, created after responsibility for administering them was transferred to that agency. The records of the Office of Territories include as one subgroup the records of the Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Loan Section, 1929-37, relating to the making of emergency grants and loans in that island; they also include, as another subgroup, fragmentary records of the U.S. High Commissioner to the Philippine Islands, 1935-46. INTRODUCTION 7 The Records of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, Record Group 48, include many subject classifications in the central classified correspondence files, 1907-53, relating to island possessions. Other important records are those of the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administra¬ tion, Record Group 323, relating to rehabilitation of that country’s agricultural economy; Records of the Military Government of Cuba, 1898-1903, Record Group 140, documenting civil administration of Cuba; and Records of the Provisional Government of Cuba, 1906-9, Record Group 199. Records of the Dominican Customs Receivership, Record Group 139, relate to administration of the receivership of the Dominican customs. Records of the Office of the Secretary of War, Record Group 107, include records relating to policy and general administration of military units in the island possessions, correspondence concerning representatives there, civilian personnel records, and records of the Planning Branch. Records of U.S. Army Commands, Record Group 98, include records on territorial commands in Cuba, the Philippine Islands, and Puerto Rico, 1898-1901; Records of the Office of the Judge Advocate General (Army), Record Group 153, include records of the Insular Affairs Section, 1915-39, that concern legal matters arising from the administration of insular possessions; Records of the U.S. Marine Corps, Record Group 127, include records that relate to Marine Corps activities in the Dominican Republic, 1914, in the Philippine Islands, 1900-1904, in Haiti, 1915-34, and in the second Cuban occupation, 1906-9; and records of the Military Governor of Santo Domingo, included with Records of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Record Group 38, relate to the occupation of the Dominican Republic and its administration by naval and marine officers, 1916-24, Among other significant related records in the National Archives are Records of the U.S. Coast Guard, Record Group 26, including lighthouse records for Puerto Rico, 1838-97. Pertinent Records of the Department of Justice, Record Group 60, include records of the Insular and Territorial Affairs Bureau, 1902-6, which had charge of departmental business relating to insular and territorial possessions, the Isle of Pines, the Isthmus of Panama, ocean cables, and other subjects. Records of the Post Office Department, Record Group 28, include information on postal service in Puerto Rico, 1899-1900, and the Philippines, 1900-1901; the Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29, contain schedules of a census of population and a census of agriculture in Puerto Rico, 1935. Mention should also be made of the Records of the U.S. Senate, Record Group 46, which include records of the Territories and Insular Affairs Committee, 1933-40; and Records of the U.S. House of Representatives, Record Group 233, which include records of the Committee on Territories, 1825-1947, and its successor committees, the Committee on Public Lands, 1805-1951, and the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, 1951- . Records of the President’s Commission for the Study and Review of Conditions in the Republic of Haiti, 1930, are in Record Group 220. RELATED PUBLICATIONS The National Archives in 1942 and 1943 published four special lists of files selected from general classified files of the Bureau and classified files relating to the Dominican Customs Receivership. The lists were compiled by Kenneth Munden, with Milton Greenbaum as coauthor of the Dominican Customs Receivership list. They relate to the Philippine Islands, 1898-1935; the U.S. Military Government of Cuba, 1898-1902, and U.S. Provisional Government of Cuba, 1906-9; Puerto Rico, 1898-1934; and the Dominican Customs Receivership, 1905-40.

On July 7, 1906, by Act 1510, the U.S. Philippine Commission granted a concession for a railway line on Luzon to the Manila Railroad Co., a private corporation. The company, organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey, was closely affiliated with an English corporation, the Manila Railway Co., Ltd., which held the stocks and bonds of the American company. The Manila Railroad Co. maintained in New York a purchasing agency, an office of the directors, and an executive committee of the railroad. The New York office was chiefly concerned with purchase of supplies and equipment for the railroad and with its finances and bonded indebted¬ ness. On January 10, 1916, the Governor General of the Philippine Islands proposed that the Government of the Philippine Islands purchase the franchise and railroad from the private corporation. Purchase was authorized by Act 2574 of the 3d Legislature, 4th session, approved February 4, 1916. The Manila Railroad Co. has been operated by the Government of the Philippines since its purchase. The company records described in this inventory were delivered on April 25, 1917, by E. M. Heberd, outgoing secretary of the Manila Railroad Co., to Paul S. Carter, newly appointed as New York purchasing agent of the Manila Railroad Co. for the Philippine Government. (Carter later transferred them to the Bureau of Insular Affairs.)

CHECKLIST OF PERIODICALS RECEIVED BY THE BUREAU OF INSULAR AFFAIRS. 1918-34. 4 in. Arranged chronologically. Mimeographed forms listing the names of certain periodicals received by the Bureau from Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and elsewhere. Library Material To facilitate intelligent administration of civil affairs in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippine Islands, and other island possessions, the Bureau of Insular Affairs began early in its existence to collect docu¬ ments, chiefly official, relating to all noncontiguous territory of the United States. Reports, hearings, acts, and other relevant printed matter emanating from governmental sources—which most agencies would put into their files—were upon receipt bound by the Bureau into volumes of convenient size and placed in the library. The collection did not constitute a library in the accepted sense but was rather an adjunct to the Bureau’s general correspondence files. References to certain of these volumes were often made on the Bureau’s record cards, and an elaborate card index of the contents of all volumes was maintained. As a matter of economy the Bureau planned to bind all small documents and unbound reports into volumes of 900-1,200 pages and to put documents on similar subjects in the same volume. Bound volumes of certain manuscript materials received by the Bureau were also retained in and considered a part of the library. The documents originally assembled in the h- brary date from the 44th Congress of the United States (1875-77). Among other subjects, they relate to the Spanish-American War, the negotiations re¬ sulting in the Treaty of Paris, and Philippine Insurrec¬ tion. Additions to this material, made throughout the life of the Bureau, constitute a detailed record of the development of the affected areas under the U.S. Government. The main series of volumes maintained in the library contains documents relating to the Philip¬ pines. Among them are the Gaceta de Manila, the official publication of the Spanish Government in the Philippines, complete for the years 1868-98, with minor exceptions, and an incomplete set of the Philippine Constabulary general orders and circulars and special orders and bulletins, 1903-38. Other publications include the Philippine Journals of Sci¬ ence, 1906-41; the Official Gazette, Manila, published under the American administration, 1902-32, and its Spanish edition, Gaceta Oficial, 1902-32. Blair and Robertson’s The Philippine Islands (55 vols., 1903), is a private publication of copies of early records relating to the Philippines. Seven other series of volumes maintained in the library were designated by letters as follows: A, Cuba; B, Puerto Rico; C, China; D, Miscellaneous; E, Ha¬ waii; F, Panama; and H, Alaska. Especially important volumes in this series are the following; In the 22 BUREAU OF INSULAR AFFAIRS A series, the Gaceta de la Habam, the official publication of the Spanish Government in Cuba, complete for the years 1869-1902, except for the first 6 months of 1874; the Gaceta Oficial de la Republica de Cuba, the official publication suc¬ ceeding the Gaceta de la Ilabam, complete for the period 1902-15 with minor omissions; and \\\e Gaceta de Madrid, complete for the period 1862-99, except for July-September 1892 and April-June 1899. In the B series, the Journals of the House of Delegates of Puerto Rico, Third through the Eighth Legislature, 1905-16. In the D series, copies of the annual reports of the Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department, 1901-39. In 1904 a two-volume index to documents collected in the library to that date was prepared, but efforts to obtain a congressional appropriation for its printing were unsuccessful. In 1906, when it was again proposed to publish the index, a supplementary volume indexing the documents assembled from 1904 to 1906 was prepared. These three volumes, which were never printed, have been microfilmed by the National Archives as Bureau of Insular Affairs: Index to Official Published Documents Relating to Cuba and the Insular Possessions of the United States, 1876-1906 (M24); positive prints of this film may be purchased. The index contains references to the catalog numbers of the volumes in the library and to the standard identifying designations of congressional executive, or insular published documents as well as to the appropriate page numbers in each. In addition to the printed materials described above, the library also kept certain manuscript materials described in entries 91-94. The National Archives and Records Service has in its custody virtually all the extant library materials except those relating to Panama, which were trans¬ ferred to the Panama Canal Company on Feb¬ ruary 11, 1938 (see File No. 11808-22 in the general classified files). These materials—106 volumes and 118 duplicates—were transferred to the Canal Zone Government when the Panama Canal Company was reorganized under an act approved September 26, 1950(64 Stat. 1038). 90.
