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

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

No Action on "Wheaton.' Case.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. 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.

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.

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. .

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

for the Boers." The poll resulted as fol

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

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.

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

sufficient to depend upon the ordinary
operation of supply and demand.

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

practitioners for diseases arising from a

Phelps gave to his profession a positive
