THE MOKNING OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1902. A PERILOUS MARCH Terrible Hardships Suffered by a Party of Marines IK THE INTERIOR OF SAHAR Men Were "Without Food For-Sevcral Days Relief Party Found Sev eral of the Company Delirious, MANILA, Jan. 2S. General Chaffee cur tailed his trip and returned here this morning-. He says he found the condi tions satisfactory everywhere except In Samar. where continuous rains during the past two months has retarded the cam paign, especially against such an elusive enemy. The condition of Captain David P. Por ter's marines, who took part In the ex pedition Into the Interior of Samar, is much worse than previously described. They suffered fearful hardships, and were without food for several days. They had; Been provided with rations for only live days. The natives who accompanied the marines declared they were unable to dis tinguish the edible roots, which the ma rines did not believe. The anger of the marines against the natives is intense. None of the latter returned with the ma rines. The marines suffered so acutely from starvation that they ate raw the flesh of two dogs. "When Captain Porter and 26 of his men staggered Into camp January 2 they were delirious, and difficulty was experienced In ascertaining the whereabout of their companions. Williams, of the First In fantry, headed the relief expedition In the face of a terrible storm which flooded the rivers. He succeeded in reaching the re maining 10 men, who would otherwise have certainly perished. He found them all delirious. Two of the men were dis covered In the branches of trees, barking like dogs. Some of the marines are so ill that they are not likely to recover. General Chaffee has endeavored to ob tain full details of the trip of the marines, but Captain Porter is not yet able lucidly to explain matters. Filipino Ofllcers Surrender. Major Lot and three Filipino Lieuten ants, with 10 rifles, three revolvers and 24 bolos, surrendered to Major Anderson, of the Sixth Cavalry, yesterday at Lipa, Province of Batangas. Lot was brought in sick on a litter. He Is cordially hated at Lipa, where he looted $55,000 worth of jewelry from prominent families. Nick erson's scouts have captured Colonel Lot. a brother of Major Lot, near Batangas. Lieutenant Lamed, of the Sixth Cav alry, had a. slight engagement with some Filipinos, during which he killed two in surgents and captured a Captain and two soldiers. The general outlook in Batangas Province Is decidedly favorable. Led by Renegade Americans. A party of Insurgents, led by two rene gade Americans, Tecently entered Alangu lang, In Leyte Province, claiming they were constabulary, but not yet uniformed. The Impostors were taken to police head quarters and were royally entertained by the native Sergeant in charge. At a given signal, the renegades and insurgents fell on the police, who, though outnumbered more than two to one, fought desperately, and drove off their assailants after a hand-to-hand fight, in which bolos were the chief weapons. The victory was nota ble, as the police Were completely sur prised and outnumbered. They lost two men killed and had one man wounded. The insurgents left one man dead. General Wbcaton'n Criticism. The criticism of the Senate minority report on the Philippine tariff bill has been general, both In public and In pri vate here, though many persons admit the statements made in the report are cor rect. General Wheaton's vigorous criti cisms referred entirely to Professor Sehurman's speech at Boston, though he holds the professor In high personal es teem. The statement that a person who made such remarks here as those credited to the protestor during his Boston speech would be sent to jail referred merely to the recent sedition law. LETTER FROM A SOLDIER. Allege Iiihnmnn Treatment of Phil ippine Natives. SEATTLE; Jan. 2S. Clarence Clowe, of Seattle, who recently arrived home from the Philippines, where he served as a private In Company H, Twenty-fifth In fantry, U. S. V., has authorized the pub lication of a letter, written by him to Senator Hoar from the islands June 10, liKW. Clowe asks In the letter honorable discharge from a service that is outrag ing his conscience. In alleging Inhuman treatment by American soldiers toward Filipinos he says In part: "At any time I am liable to be called upon to go out and bind and gag helpless prisoners, to strike them in the face, to knock them down when so bound, to bear them away from wife and children, at their very door, who are shrieking piti fully the while, or kneeling and kissing the hands of our officers, Imploring mercy from those who seem not to know what it Is, and then, with a crowd of soldiers, hold our helpless victim head downward in a tub of water in his own yard; or bind him hand and foot, attaching ropes to head and feet, and then lowering him into the depths of a well of water, till life Is well nigh choked out, and the bit terness of death has been tasted, and our poor, gasping victims ask us for the poor boon of being finished off, in mercy to themselves. "All these things have been done at one time or another by our men, generally in cases of trying to obtain information as to the location of arms and ammunition. "Nor can it be said that there is any general repulsion on the part of the en listed men to taking part in these doings. I regret to have to say that, on the con trary, the majority of soldiers take a keen delight In them and rush with Joy to the making of this latest development of a Roman holiday." FUNSTON IN KANSAS. His Vie-iv of the Metcalfe Incident in the Philippine. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2S.-General Funs ton this afternoon submitted to an ex amination of the wound from which he has experienced trouble lately. Whether or not another operation would be neces sary the physician was not ready to state, saying that it might be two or three days before that question could be determined. In the meantime General Funston said he would remain in Kansas City, resting quietly. He expressed him self as feeling perfectly well. He said that after undergoing treatment here and visiting his parents he would return West in time to take a transport for Manila early In February. His leave of absence expires March 10. General Funston, in an interview, said of the Investigation conducted in Wash ington recently, regarding the killing of two Filipinos: "The whole thing is based on an affi davit made by Private Huskey, formerly of the Kansas Regiment, Huskey swore that he saw Metcalfe shoot unarmed pris oners. That was In March. 1899. In March. 1900, Huskey appeared before a board of Army officers, appointed to investigate Metcalfe's connection with the affair. Here he stated that the previous affidavit was secured from him by a Kansas officer after the latter had got him drunk.( Hus key said he signed a paper, but h'ad no knowledge of Its contents. This "was the affidavit upon which the charge against Metcalfe was based. He denied every statement made in the affidavit at the hearing in March, 1500." General Funston was Ignorant of the hint of a reprimand from the Senate for General Wheaton. He reviewed General Wheaton's long career, and said that he did not believe in subjugating the Filip inos by sprinkling them with rosewater. AT THE CABINET MEETING. Letter From Chaffee Read, Which Denies Reports of Friction. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. At the Cabinet meeting today Secretary Root read a pri vate letter from General Chaffee, which denied the reports of friction between th military and civil authorities in the Phil ippines, and gave a very encouraging resume of the situation. His statement was considered very gratifying by the President and the members of the Cab inet. Postmaster-General Payne talked briefly about the progress of the new regulations for "weeding out" publications from second-class mail. The course of the de mands In this respect Is meeting with WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE SERIOUSLY ILL. iguU v&ftfo V$ ;BSSSSSSSS KSSSJ5JC. BKrj&x& jAAAAAAwBx!SEBBBttKvmBa BHBbShBHB B8S$BEEUBmmmBS&&Bmmm! KANSAS EDITOR SUFFERS William Allen "White, well-known Kansas author and newspaper man. Is sick, and has given np work for the present. He left Emporia with his family, golne to Colorado Springs for a rest. A week ago he had an attack of grip, which has left him In a state of nervous exhaustion. Mr. White gained National fame during the Presidential campaign of 1896 by an editorial In his own paper, the Emporia Gazette, entitled, "What Is the Mat ter With Kansas?" That gave a lift to a book of short stories of Western life, "The Real Issue," which was published about the same time. Since then he has written more remarkably good tales of his early life in the West, called "The Boyvllle Stories," and recently be has attracted attention by a series of pungent articles In McClure's Magaxlne on political celebrities. His article on Bobs Piatt was so full of ginger that Piatt made complaint to President Roosevelt, and swore he was going to sue White and McClure. hut on sober secosd thought he con cluded not to draw any more lightning In his direction. opposition, but satisfactory progress isH being made.

The "War De partment is not disposed to take any ac tion respecting General Wheaton's utter ances which were quoted in the Senate yesterday. This is because the officials, after studying the dispatch In which Gen eral Wheaton was quoted, are satisfied that the debate In the Senate proceeded upon an entire misapprehension of what General Wheaton was reported to have said. It Is found that General Wheaton did not criticise the United States Sen ate or its committees, and It is thought at the Department that the misapprehen sion on that score arose from a general statement in the dispatch attributing such criticisms to other persons than General Wheaton. Llent. Brovrn's Sentence Commuted. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Secretary Root today acted on the case of Lieutenant Preston Brown. Second Infantry, who was sentenced by court-martial to be dismissed from the service. It appears from the evidence that Lieutenant Brown shot a native Filipino because he allowed an American soldier to drown when he might easily have saved him. Secretary Root takes the ground that Lieutenant Brown's action in the matter, while not Justifiable, was excusable under all the circum stances, and he, therefore, recommends that the sentence of dismissal be com muted, that he lose 35 numbers In his grade, and that he forfeit one-half of his pay for a period of nine months. AN UNFAIR EXAMINATION. Candidates "Were Assisted in Their Preparations. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. The civil serv ice commission has canceled the examina tion for special statistical compiler of the Department of Agriculture, held June 18 and 19 last, and has made public its re port on its investigation of the Integrity of that examination. The report says that employes of the Division of Statistics were improperly and unfairly assisted In their preparation for the examination by disclosures made by Mrs. Bertha Burch, an employe, In pursuance of Instructions from John Hyde, statistician of the De partment of Agriculture, directing her to give all the help in this examination which she "legitimately" could. The report says the testimony shows that advance information of a more or less definite character was given out by her covering at least six questions asked In the examination, and also that unclass ified laborers In the statistical division were given other unfair advantages, the questions being framed In such a man ner that only those experienced in the actual work at the division could pass. The report calls attention to an apparent effort by Statistician Hyde to forestall the investigation of the commission and says threats were made to them. Statistician Hyde stated that only sug gestions were made as to lines If study that could be. advantageously pursued, and these were of the most general char acter and really less definite than the sample questions and sample letters pub lished by the commission Itself In advance of its examinations. He further said that an analysis made since the commission rendered Its decision of the answers given by all competitors to the six questions upon which the commission laid the great est stress, shows that only as to one of these six questions had persons employed in the department any advantage what ever over outsiders, this limited and per fectly legitimate advantage being the un avoidable result of the work on which they were employed.

S&lva-cea, 274 Canal st., Ml i BOER PEACE PROPOSALS! EXGL.AXD APPROACHED THROUGH THE 3IEDIUM OF HOLLAND. Datch Government Ask That It Be Permitted to Act a a Sort of Diplomatic Agent. LONDON, Jan. 28. The Government leader, A. J. Balfour, announced in the House of Commons today that no over tures for peace had been received from any one authorized to speak In behalf of the Boers. A communication was, how ever, received late Saturday last from the Dutch Government, which was now un der consideration. Mr. Balfour hoped shortly to lay before the House the com. munication and the reply to it. The Government of Holland offered in the most friendly terms to help In bringing FR03I NE RVOUS COLLAPSE. 4 about peace In South Africa. In a com munication to the British Government the Dutch Government suggests that it might be permitted to act as a sort of diplomat ic agent for the Boer delegates. The Gov ernment, however, expressly disavows any attempt at Intervention, and does not mention any terms. It was learned by a representative of the -Associated Press that the British Government Infers that It would not have been approached unless the Dutch author ities were convinced that the Boer dele gates now in Europe were willing to ac cept tho cardinal points of the British peace terms, so frequently announced in Parliament. Lord Lansdowne, the Foreign Secretary, replied in friendly terms to the Nether lands' proposal, but instituted inquiries in order to ascertain the extent of the pow ers delegated to Mr. Kruger and the other Boer representatives in Europe to act in behalf of the burghers in the field. Great doubt Is expressed at the Foreign Office here as to whether any negotiations car ried on by the Boer delegates through the Dutch Government or other channels will prove effectual. If satisfactbry guarantees in this respect can be secured, negotiations will be. begun. This doubt in regard to the authority of Mr. Kruger and others to speak for the fighting burghers is per ceptible in the statement Mr. Balfour made in the House of Commons today. A supplementary army estimate of 5,000.009 was issued this afternoon, mak ing the total expenditure for the army during the year 92,915.000. ROSEBERY BROUGHT IT ABOUT. The Ncsrotations, Hosvever, May Be Without Rcsnlt. LONDON, Jan. 29. The announcement of Mr. Balfour caused a sensation In the lobbies of Parliament. Lord Rosebery is generally credited with having brought about this movement on the part of the Dutch Government. It is recalled that Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch Premier, In an interview published about Christmas, was represented to have urged the Impossi bility of Holland's intervening in South Africa unless she had reason to think that both parties wished it. Consequent ly, it Is regarded as certain that the pres ent move was Inspired by the Boer dele gates. The Petit Bleu, of Brussels, the organ, of the Krugerites, flatly denied last night that the Boer delegates had charged any one to make peace proposals, and professed to be in entire ignorance of the Dutch communication. The Hague correspondent of the Daily Mail claims to have ascertained that Dr. Leyds inspired the Dutch Foreign Sec retary, who was further advised by Pro fessor Asser, the international Jurist, and adds that Dr. Leyds Is apparently at tempting to draw Mr. Chamberlain to dis close the terms conditional upon the waiv ing of Independence. The Daily News this morning claims credit for the initiation of the peace movement. The paper says that after Lord Rosebery's speech at Chesterfield they sent Dr. BIsschop, who was recently counsel for the Dutch Government before the compensation committee, and who Is neither Briton nor Boer, on a mission to the Continent to Invite the Boer delegates to a consideration of the basis of nego tiations which Lord Rosebery suggested, namely, to grant the Boers self-government on the Canadian model, no unneces sary prolongation of the military occu pation, complete amnesty to the Boers and colonial rebels, and grants of money to enable the Boers to restart their farms. Dr. BIsschop had long confer ences with the Boer delegates on the Con tinent, with the exception of Mr. Kruger. But he was assured that the ex-President had delegated his authority and that it was not necessary to see him. According to the paper. Dr. BIsschop persuaded the delegates to hold a conference and discuss the proposals. Then followed the visit of Dr. Kuyper to London. The Dally News declines to reveal the outcome of these conferences, but partially avows that the Boer delegates stl.ll Insist upon independ ence, and It Is said that the government ought to reply, setting forth Great Britain's terms and leaving the responsi bility of a refusal to the Boers. Referring to this matter editorially, the Daily News draws the inference that the government has already replied and ha rejected the Dutch overtures as un- answered, as otherwise Mr. Balfour would not have been in a position to promise the papers on the subject, this promise show ing that no further negotiations were afoot. This was the impression In the lobbies as a result of the announcement of the government leader, and semiofficial state ments In semiofficial Journals this morn ing declare the outlook for peace not hopeful. Those acquainted, with Boer sentiments assert that Messrs. Fischer and Wolmarns and Generals Schalk burger and Botha are willing to recog nize British annexation, while Mr. Kruger, Dr. Leyds, General Dewet'and President Stexn still Insist upon Independence. Therefore, at Rresent, it is considered hopeless to arrive at any agreed basis of negotiations. The Standard this morning declares that the government will have nothing to do with any overtures from Mr. Kruger or his entourage. , The Berlin correspondent of the Dally News says he understands Holland con sulted the European powers before ap proaching Great rBltaln. Kitchener's "Weekly Report. LONDON, Jan. 28. A long dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Johannesburg, Monday, January 27. gives details of ihe military operations since January 21. They are mostly unimportant, but Indicative of continued activity on the part of the Boers. General Methuen's Yeomanry got In trouble near RIetolel, Western Trans vaal, and lost eight men killed, live wounded, and 41 made prisoners. The latter have since been released. This was offset by General Bruce-Hamilton's pursuit of the Boers in the vicinity of Ermelo, Transvaal Colony, resulting in the dispersal of a Boer laager at Nela pan. The Boer losses were two men killed, four wounded and 94 made prison ers, including Field Cornet Devllllers, Captain Dejaager and Lodewatc Dejaager, a former member of the- Volksraad. In addition, .Colonel Plumer captured 55 Boers. Lord Kitchener reports- that Field Cor net Bodes command quarreled while dis cussing the question of surrender. Bodes and three of his followers surrendered. The week's Boer losses were 31 men killed, 20 wounded, 322 made prisoners and 53 surrendered. . A LIBERAL VICTORY. Conservatives Defeated In By- Election in England. LONDON, Jan. 28. At the by-election to fill the seat in the House of Commons for Dewsbury, rendered vacant by the retirement on account of 111 health of Mark Oldroyd (Liberal), the Conserva tives made strenuous efforts to capture the seat. Mr. Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary, wrote a letter declaring that "It was not a contest between Liberals and Conservatives. There are only two parties; these for the country and those for the Boers." The poll resulted as fol lows: Runclman, Liberal 5600 Joe Haley, Conservative 4512 Quelch, Socialist .. 1507 Schwab in Austria. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S. According to the Vienna correspondent of the Herald, the reception of Charles M. Schwab at the Austrian capital was a splendid one. The Emperor is quoted as saying that he would gladly welcome the news that any number of Americans were coming over here, and he meant to show that in his reception of Mr. Schwab. The eteel trust's president made a record in getting an In vitation to the court ball. All the Invi tations had long since ceased, and the books of the court were closed. The an swer at first was "impossible," but that there is no "Impossible was shown by the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Schwab were present. Mr. Schwab made a record and aston ished people here by ordering a special train to take him to Budapest. So en thusiastic were the Hungarians over his large-handedness and' enterprise In the matter that they met him with cries as he arrived and departed of "Eljen Schwab!" the first word meaning "bravo." Jesuits in Germany. BERLIN, Jan. 28. Hrr Spahn, in behalf of the Centrists, Interpellated the gov ernment in the Reichstag today regarding the attitude the Bundesrath was likely to adopt toward the bill passed in Febru ary, 1S99, rescinding the Jesuit exclusion law. Count von Posodowsky-Wehner, the Im perial Secretary of State for the Interior, who replied In behalf of the Imperial Chancellor, referred to the deeply-rooted apprehensions of the Protestants In regard to the readmlsslon of the Jesuits Into Germany and to the necessity for the most mature consideration. He said the Bundesrath's decision might be expected during the present oession. Never Heard of the Protest. LONDON, Jan. 28. The Associated Presg is authorized to state that the Briitsh For eign Office has never heard of the matter referred to in a dispatch from Vienna yesterday, said to have been circulated by certain of the powers subsequent to the signing of the treaty of Paris, protesting against the annexation of the Philippines by the United States. It can also be an nounced that Great Britain never threat ened armed Intervention in case of a Eu ropean coalition against the United States. According to an official statement here, there never was any cause for such a threat, as the matter was completely dropped when Great Britain refused to sign the collective note. Santos-Damont's Trials. MONTE CARLO, Jan. 28. Santos-Du-mont made a trial ascent of his airship this morning. Everything worked smooth ly. The vessel readily answered her helm In the light breeze prevailing. After a tour of the harbor, Santos-Dumont steered his craft back to her shed, amidst the cheers of the assembled crowds. He made a second trip during the afternoon. He was out 45 minutes, and sailed In three different directions over the open sea, perfecting evolutions with ease and rapid ity at a helghtof about 100 meters. Food Supply la War Times. LONDON. Jan. 2S. Gerald 'w. Balfour, president of the Board of Trade, in the House of Commons today rither con temptuously dismissed an amendment to the address In reply to the speech from the throne regarding the old-time ques tion of the food supply In war times, say ing that the subject was threadbare, and that so long as the United Kingdom re tained command of the seas, it was quite sufficient to depend upon the ordinary operation of supply and demand. Germans Favor Retaliation. BERLIN. Jan. 28. "The feeling of Ger many Is for a tariff war rather than for tariff peace," said Baron Heyl Zu Herrn. shelm (Liberal), In a debate before the tariff commission today. "The only way to deal with America and the British col onies la to answer with tariffs as high as theirs." Herr von Kanltz (Conservative) agreed that the sentiment of the country ,favored retaliation upon the United States. Prince of Wales Leaves Berlin. BERLIN, Jan. 28.

A number of ex citlzens of Ohio, who now reside in St. Louis, compose a delegation that left here tonight for Columbus, to meet the mem bers of the General Assembly and talk over the matter of an appropriation for a state exhibit at the Loullsana Purchase Exposition.

Among the numerous letters received at cAysJfctcv Professor Phelps was born In Connecti cut, and graduated in medicine at Yale. His unusual talent soon brought him reputation and prominence among his pro fessional brethren. First he was elected to the professorship of anatomy and sur gery in the Vermont University. Next he was applnted lecturer on materia medlca and medical botany in Dartmouth College. The next year he was chosen professor of the chair then vacated by Professor Robby, and occupied the chair, the most important one In the country, at the time when he first formulated his most re markable prescription. In view of the overwhelming testimony to the value of Paine's celery compound that has recently appeared from men and women of National reputation, the pic ture of Professor Phelps Is particularly interesting. Paine's celery compound makes people well. It Is the one true specific recog nized and prescribed today by eminent practitioners for diseases arising from a debilitated nervous system.
