Tiilfl MORNING OREGONIAN. 'THURSDAY, APRIL IT, 1902. Report -of Colonel DIckman, "Who Investigated Serg-eant Riley's Charsea Filipino Cruelty. WASHINGTON. April 16. The report of Lieutenant-Colonel DIckman, Twenty six th Volunteer Infantry, -which -was re ferred to at yesterday's Cabinet meeting as part of the Initial Investigation of the charges of cruelty to the Filipinos, was submitted to Congress two months ago, but received very little attention at the time. The letter was written by Colonel DIckman, from the Presidio, at San Fran cisco. April 24, 190L He had been directed to Investigate Sergeant Riley's charges that the water cure was administered at Jgbaras, a fact to which he also testified before the Senate commlte last Mon day. Colonel DIckman made this return. In part to the "War Department: "Sergeant Riley, Company M, Twenty sixth Infantry, IT. S. V., states that the publication Inclosed was of a private let ter, and without any authority whatever. The tendency of enlisted men to draw the long bow in such cases Is well known. Major Cook, Captain MacDonald and Ser geant Riley state that no officers or sol diers of his regiment took part in any so-called water-cure proceedings, or other threats against the natives, on the occa sion stated." Colonel DIckman then gives a list of atrocities inflicted by the Filipinos upon Americans unfortunate enough to fall Into their lunds He tells of ambushes and assassinations and burning of soldiers by slow fires, and of burials alive of Amer ican soldiers, .ll of which he offers to prove In detail. He winds up as follows: "The conduct of the American troops In the Philippines has been so humane as to be a continued source of surprise to all foreigners and to the natives. Although general order. No, 100 (the repressive or der). has not been revoked, Its provisions against treacheryy according to the law and custom of war of all civilized na tions, have never been applied, to my knowledge." MOROS CAUSE TROUBLE. DattOH, Becoming Suspicions, Refnse to Deliver Up Murderers. WASHINGTON, April 16. The following cablegram from General Chaffee, dated at Manila yesterday, was made public at the War Department today: "With reference to my telegram of the 23d ult., reporting an attack by Moros during a reconnolssance under' Forsyth, March 15, a soldier of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, United States Infantry, was murdered by Moros In the vicinity or Parang-Parang. March 30, two soldiers of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, United State Infantry, having one gun, were ap proached with a semblance of. friendship by six Moros near Malabang. The rifle was seized, one soldier killed, and the other severely wounded, but he escaped. The murder was without provocation or justification in any way. The murderers are known and a demand has been made for their surrender. Thus far Dattos re fused to deliver them. Have been to Ma Unga and tried to confer .with them. Dat tos failed to come or acknowledge re ceipt of my request in confidence. "An expedition of 1200 men under Colonel F. D. Baldwin, cavalry and artillery, is being formed, leaving for Lake Lano about April 27, for the purpose of arresting the murderers and punishing Dattos. . Every care is to be taken not to bring on a general war with the Moros about the lake, but it is absolutely Important that our authority be respected by the people, and that the sovereignty of the United States be fully acknowledged. Have -addressed a letter to this effect to Dattos, at the same time Informing them of the friendly disposition of the Government: that the purpose was to punish only those giving offense: that the Government claims the right to explore the country between Illana and Illmars Bays; that my purpose Is to do so now, and at any other time. In accomplishment of this object it is necessary to retain the battalion of the Seventeenth two months longer. My be lief at the present time is that a large majority of the Dattos will not support those Implicated In the murders." Parang-Parang Is an anchorage In Polloa Harbor, on the west coast of the mainland of Mindanao. Malabang lies about 20 miles north on the coast and is f connected by a military cable. Lake Lano (Lanao?) Is situated about 25 miles north west of Malabang. Settlement of Friai Question. WASHINGTON, Aprir 16. Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, had a conference with Secretary Root today, following the talk lie had with the President respecting the Philippine friars land Question. It was the Idea of Archbishop Ireland and Bishop O'Gorman to have this complex question settled directly at Rome, instead of through the archbishop of Manila, who, they pointed out, would have been obliged to delay proceedings greatly by frequent reference of every important phase of the negotiations to his superiors In the Vati can. The government here has come to accept the Ireland and O'Gorman view as the most .businesslike proposition, and that Is why Governor Taft will stop at Rome on his way back to Manila and endeavor to arrange directly the basis of an agree ment for the transfer of the lands to the Philippine Government In trust for the Philippine people. Protest Against Hemp Rebate. WASHINGTON. April 16. Not only the British, but the German Government, has lodged a strong protest with the State Department against the application of that part of the Philippine tariff act re cently enacted and Just ordered into op eration which authorizes the rebate of a portion of the export duties on Philip pine products when Imported into the United States. The great matter of com plaint Is hemp, which is Imported into England and Germany in vast quantities from Manila. The rebate afforded to American importers will amount, it ft al leged, to a difference of three-eights of a cent a pound in favor of the American ropemaker, a discrimination which will practically destroy the British and Ger man trade, according to the protestants. British View of Waller Case. LONDON, April 17. The Times, in an editorial this morning, In which the anal ogy between the South African and Phil ippine wars, as illustrated by the recent trials of tho Australian officers and the case of Major Waller of the Marine Corps, Is referred to, says it thinks that, con sidering the difficulties and strain of cam paigning In the Philippines, the wonder is rather at the paucity of such cases. The paper says that in one respect the Amer ican troops are worse than the British', Inasmuch as the former are fighting in a horribly enervating climate. Sherman Afrain in Commission. SAN FRANCISCO.

Resolutions de claring sympathy for the Boers, and asking President Boosevelt to break up the alleged British camp near New Or leans were adopted by the Holland Society, of Chicago, during a banquet at Kinsley's tonight The resolutions urge the consolidation of all leagues In the United States now engaged separ ately In raising money for the benefit of the Boer prisoners, reeoncentradoes and sick and wounded. The principal speech of the evening was made by Dr. Nicholas Senn, who replied to the toast, "Holland as a Power of Civilization." He said the Boers had waged war for two years with the sympathy of the entire world. "They have taught proud England an important and expensive lesson. Never has England been so deeply humiliated since the birth of our country." A significant portion of the resolutions was a follows: "That we. the members of the Hol land Society, of Chicago, assembled to commemorate the birthday of William the Silent, the great pioneer of civil And religious freedom, do most heartily sympathize with the brave and patriotic people of the Orange Free State and the South African Republic in their heroic struggle against the Empire of Great Britain to retain their indepen dence: that we. deprecate the stand of the present Administration in refusing to permit a resolution of sympathy such as was passed for struggling Greece, for Hungary, for Mexico and for the South American Republics, to be considered or to be passed by either house of Congress, and thereby express the true sentiment of the great major ity of the American people to the brave men and women of the Republics of South Africa; that we regret the policy of our Government in permitting re cruiting camps for the British Govern ment to exist openly within out territory, in defiance of treaty stipulations and International law; that we hope and trust that the negotiations now understood to be pending may result In an honorable peace, which shall recognize the Inde pendence of those two republics, never more to be disturbed by a foreign power."

The price of oil was today pushed up 5 cents a barrel on the finer grades,and 3 cents on the lesper, restoring the last of the three successive cuts made In January last.

WASHINGTON, April -Presidentelect Palma. of the new Cubm Republic, passed through here this afternoon, en route to Cuba. He win visit a number of Cuban cities and towns, going first to Jlbara, thence to Holguln and then to his native town. Bavamo. He will then proceed to Manzanlllo and SiintUgo and go to Havana about May 9. His first official act as President of the new republic, he announced today, will be the formation of a Cabinet and the dis patch of a message to the Cuban Con- HISTORIAN LECKY TO HE WILL BE HONORED AT Among those who will be honored with a peerage by King Edward during coronation week is Processor William Edward Hartpole Lecky, famous as a his torian. Lecky Is a graduate of Trinity College. Dublin, and In 1605 first made a hit with his "History of Rationalism in Europe." He followed this, four jears later, with his "History of European Morals From Augustus to Charlemagne," which Is his best-known and most popular work. He is also the author of a "History of England In the Eighteenth Century," In eight volumes, and of "De mocracy and Liberty" and "The Map of Life, Conduct and Character." For some ears Mr, Lecky has represented Dublin University In the House of Commons. gress. He already has settled upon several persons to whom he will tender Cabinet portfolios, but he refused to make his selections public, explaining that he wants to give the matter full consideration after he reaches Cuba, and to announce the Cabinet simultane ously. One appointment, he admitted, la practically decided upon, viz., that of Gonzales de Quesada, who represented the Cubans here during the period pro ceding the Spanish-American War, to be Cubm Minister to the United 'States. The first message of the .head of the Cuban Republic to Congress -will be sub mitted Immediately after he assumes of fice. Its main features will be recom mendations along the following lines: First, all possible measures calculated to unite the various political factions of Cuba, so that all elements will work to gether In the Interest of the new gov ernment: second, the development of the natural resources of the country with reciprocal tariff relations with the United States; third, the maintenance of th most .friendly relations with the United States Government. Mr. Palmi said that the United States dollar will be the standard in Cuba, but that the currency and other questions are matters that require mature delibera tion and need not be legislated upon. He said he is hopeful of securing a sub stantial reduction of the tariff on sugar., tobacco and other Cuban products. The Cuban Government will act entirely on a reciprocal basis in making reductions on United States products, and what ever action Is taken at Washington along this line will be followed to the same extent by the Havana government. He said this subject presents the most diffi cult problem among those he foresees. In response to a direct query, he said that the Cuban Government will not establish such reciprocal commercial re lations with any other government than that of the United States. He said his efforts will be concentrated on restor ing his country to its condition as be- fore the ravages of war devastated it. He does not anticipate any serious difficulty, or confusion consequent upon the change of regime, as most of the offices now are administered by Cubans. MANY MILITARY ORDERS.
