One thousand five hundred. The bill was presented by the Delegate from Porto Rico because under the treaty of peace that was made after the Spanish War we accorded to Spaniards living in Porto Rico their rights of property and their rights of citizenship. and under our quota law the rights that thus were accorded them are rendered nil if they travel at all. If they get out of Porto Rico now. if they go to Spain. if they go to any other place. go to Habana and the like. they can not return to their residence because of our quota law. The design of the Delegate from Porto Rico was to remedy that. and to permit travel by Spanish residents who had been guaranteed their rights under our treaty of peace. The bill was reported to the Senate without amendment. ordered to a third reading. read the third time. and passed.
