Senators Condemn General
Smith's Military Orders.
PHILIPPINE BILL IS DISCUSSED
Itn-n-llns Says He Wns 3Iixinoted In
Ills Remark Ahont General Chaf
fee House Panics the Om
nlbus Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 29. A spirited
discussion of the Philippine situation oc
curred in the Senate today. It revolved
around the order alleged to have been
Issued by General Jacob H. Smith to make
the Island of Samar a "howlins wilder
ness," and to kill all mile inhabitants
over the age of 10 years. The debate took
a wide range and many other points were
discussed.
At the conclusion of routine business,
Rawlins made a person il statement as to
a report of his ppcech made by the Asso
ciated Press, to the effect that he had, in
effect, characterized General Chaffee as
'a dastardly villain," on account of the
alleged barbarities committed in the Phil
ippines. Rawlins said that an uninten
tional injuKtlce had been done him, and
quoted from his speech In which he said:
"I am unable to fix the responsible
head and emanation of these barbarities,
which would disgrace the annals of even
a scmi-clvilized country, not to epeak of
the nation which claims to hold aloft the
escutcheon of honor and justice and fair
dealings. Did Chaffee, alone, unaided. In
coldness and in brutality, and in savage
and unrelenting disregard of every human
sentiment or possibility of human suffer
ing, conceive this inlqultious scheme?
"Whence? From what diabolical source
was it derived? The American people
ought to know. Is there any penalty be
neath the eun adequate enough to be
meted out to the dastard villain who has
thus brought dishonor upon the American
Army and the American people?"
The Senate then began consideration of
the bill to ratify an agreement with the
Sioux tribe of Indians of the Rosebud
reservation in South Dakota. Piatt
(Conn.), a member of the Indian affairs
committee, explained that the bill bound
the Government to piy Sioux Indians on
the Rosebud reservation $1,400,000 for their
lands and J250.000 at once for the cattle
of the Indians, and $790,000 in five annual
Installments. He proposed an amendment
to strike out the clause entitling settlers
under the homestead act to a patent for
the land so entered under the legal re
strictions, and made an argument in sup
port of. It. If the policy proposed In the
bill were carried Into effect, so far as the
public lands were concerned. It would
cost the Government quite $30,000,000.
Dubois expressed himself as opposed to
the payment of a fictitious price for- In
dian lands.
Stewart, chnirman of the Indian com
mittee, said if the Government was to
pursue the policy of paying to the In
dians fancy prices for their lands and
then give them away to the settlers, It
would Involve the Government In an ex
penditure not of $50,000,000, as suggested
by Piatt, but of $100,000,000. He declared
that "the great murderers of Indians"
were the Indian Rights Association. More
Indians had died from disease, he assert
eddisease Incurred from Indolence and
because they had been pauperized and de
moralizedthan had died by the sword.
Clapp urged that there was no proposi
tion in the pending bill to change the
general policy of the Government as to
Indian lands.
Philippine Bill Discussed.
The Indian reservation bill was lild
aside at 2 o'clock, and the Philippine Gov
ernment bill the unfinished business
was presented to the Senate. Apparently
no Senator was prepared to proceed with
the discussion. Lodge, in charge of the
bill. Insisted that the debate should pro
ceed, or that a reasonable time be fixed
for a. vote.
Teller spoke briefly In objection. Dis
cussing the alleged order of General
Smith, Teller said he understood that
General Smith had tried to justify his or
der by what Is known as the "Tom Ewlng
crdcr" during the Civil War. By this or
der the population of two counties in
Missouri were deported and their prop
erty destroyed. He was proceeding to
characterize the action of the American
Army in the Philippines as most cruel
and barbarous, when he was interrupted
by Spooner with the Inquiry: "Does the
Eenator not remember Fort Pillow?"
"What does the Senator mean by his
reference to Fort Pillow?" inquired Car
mack. "I had In mind," replied Spooner, "what
has been considered a massacre of col
ored troops there."
Carmack insisted, with some heat, that
there was no massacre of troops or kill
ing of prisoners at Fort Pillow.
Teller was continuing his remarks
about General Smith's order, when he
was interrupted by Fairbanks. "I do
not understand," said he, "that the Gov
ernment approves of General Smith's al
leged order. A court-martial to try Gen
eral Smith was ordered as soon as the
Information concerning the matter
reached Washington."
Teller replied that, according to a news
paper article he had read to the Senate,
the Information hnd been in Washington
many months, but he knew nothing of
the matter himself.
Teller offered an amendment to the bill
providing for a commission to be appoint
ed by the President and to consist of not
less than 6even, nor more than 15 per
sons, to proceed to the Philippines and
try to secure a lasting peace between the
United States and the Filipinos, the
Tnited States to pay the Commissioners'
salaries of $1000 a year and all expense's.
Teller said that if It be true that Gen
eral Smith Issued the alleged order, he
ought to be dismissed from the service.
"In the records of all the great wars
since the Middle Ages," he declared, "you
cannot find such a disgraceful and wicked
arder as that issued by General Smith." .
Lodge said nothing was known here of
General Smith's order until It was placed
by Major Waller as a defense for his
action in Samar. As soon as Waller had
pleaded that order as his defense, the
President himself had decided that Gen
eral Smith be court-martialed. He said
he did not know whether the order of
General Smith was verbal or written.
Carmack Insisted that the evidence In
dicated that orders of a very extreme
character Issued in the Philippines were
being suppressed, not, he believed, by tho
War Department, but by the military
authorities in the Philippines.
In calling attention to the report of the
secretary of B.atangas Province that
there had been so great a mortality in
the province as to reduce the population
from 300.000 to about 200,000. the mortality
being due to disease, Tillman inquired
whether the Philippine Commission had
Investigated that matter. When informed
that it had not, he exclaimed: "Well,
how long are we going to hold on to this
bag of cats? What benefit is it to the
American people to pursue this infamous
policy?"
In the running colioquy, Culberson
asked Lodge if he indorsed the order Is
sued by General Bell.
"No," replied Lodge. "I do not Indorse
cruel methods of warfare. General
Smith's order is one which every Amer
ican should regret. On the surface, those
orders seem to me to be revolting."
Bacon expressed the belief that the dis
ease and the great mortality among the
natives of Batangas Province had been
caused by the laying waste of the prov
ince by war-
Teller, in conclusion, declared that this
nvornment could not cscaoe tho con
demnation of the world and of every
right-thinking man for this "miserable,
wicked attempt to compel these people
to accept our Government, whether they
desire It or not."
The Senate then, at 4:15 P. M., went
into executive session, and at 5 o'clock
adjourned.
OMNIBUS PUBLIC BUIIiDlXfif BILL.
House Pause a Measure WhicU Car
ries $17,000,000.
WASHINGTON, April 29. Under a spe
cial order which allowed three hours for
debate, but whloh cut off all opportunity
of amendment, the House today passed
the omnibus public building bill, which
will. distribute $17,405,450 among 1S4 cities.
As the bill covers into the Treasury $1,515 -000,
tho total amount carried by the bill
Is reduced to that extent. The bill pro
vides for 77 new buildings and sites, six
buildings on sites already purchased, 17
buildings on donated sites, and 58 Increases
in appropriations for buildings already
authorized. It also provides for the pur
chase of 16 Eites. The majority for the
bill was so overwhelming that only nine
members backed a demand for the ayes
and noes on the passage of the bill. There
was some criticism of the method by
which It Teas proposed to pass the bill
wltout opportunity for amendment, which
Mercer (Rep. Neb.), chairman of the com
mittee, answered by stating that if the
bill had been subject to amendment, the
appropriations carried by It would have
been increased to $60,000,000.
The consideration of the agricultural ap
propriation bill was resumed, but only
seven pages were disposed of.
Tlie Proceedings.
Immediately on convening, Dalzell (Rep.
Pa.), from the committee on rules, pre
sented the special order for the considera
tion, of the omnibus bill, under the terms
of which the bill, without opportunity for
amendment, was to be brought to direct
vote after three hours of general debate.
Creamer (Dem. N. Y.) raised the point
of order that the special order suspended
the rule which permitted the offering of
amendments, and that no rule could be
suspended witout a two-thirds vote. The
Speaker overruled the point of order, an
appeal was taken, anda motion made to
lay the appeal on the table. When the
Speaker put the motion a great chorus
from both sides of tne House went up In
support of Dalzell's motion, while only a
few scattering noes arose In demand from
the other side.
"It is apparent," observed Creamer,
looking about him, "that they are all In
the barrel on this side as on that."
(Laughter.)
Richardson, the minority leader, opposed
the adoption of the rule, not, as he said,
with the expectation of defeating it. This
was simply a proposition which compelled
members to vote for a wholesale appro
priation of about $16,000,000 for public
buildings or not have and public-building
legislation this session.
Mercer (Rep. Neb.), chairman of the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, in support of the rule, said that
his committee had considered bills carry
ing appropriations aggregating $67,000,000.
The committee recognized the necessity
for public buildings, but all could not be
provided for at this session of Congress.
At this point Goldfogle (Dem. N. Y.)
Interrupted Mercer to ask whether he
thought New York City had been treated
fairly in the bill.
"Let me say now," replied Mercer, "that
the three gentlemen from New York who
have been occupying the time of this
House, demanding legislation for New
York, have done more than all other in
fluences combined to retard It,"
Much to the amusement of the House
he proceeded to score Creamer, Lessler
and Goldfogle for their misdirected efforts.
Had the legislation depended upon them,
he said, there will have been nothing in
the bill for New York City. The rule was
then adopted, 166 to 33.
Sims demanded the ayes and noes, but
his demand was supported by only 10 mem
bersnot a. sufficient number. The three
hours' debate on the bill then began. It
having been arranged that Mercer and
Sankhead (Dem. Ala.) should control the
time on the respective sides.
Douglass (Rep. N. Y.), to whom Mercer
yielded, devoted 20 minutes to pointing out
the necessity for a new public building In
New York. The debate that followed was
devoted almost exclusively to the personal
explanation of members regarding their
efforts in behalf of buildings in which they
were interested. Williams (Rep. I1L)
made a severe onslaught on the method of
legislation proposed in the bill. Mercer,
in reply, said that the method pursued was
in the interest of economy.
The debate exhausted itself shortly be
fore the three hours expired, and the bill
then was put on Its passage. The chorus
of ayes was overwhelming, and the
Speaker declared the bill passed.
The House then resumed consideration of
the agricultural appropriation bill. The
pending bill was that offered yesterday by
Roberts (Rep. Mass.) to provide that in
the distribution of seed, city and country
members could elect whether they desire
flower or vegetable and garden seed. After
completing seven of the 25 remaining
pases of the bill, the House at 5 P. 31
adjourned.

WASHINGTON, April 29. President
Havemeyer and other officials of the
American Sugar Company will be asked to
appear and give testimony before the sub
committee of the Senate on relations with
Cuba, appointed to Inquire into the ques
tion of Cuba sugar holdings, and they
will be the first wltnetses called.
The sub-committee held its first meeting
today, with all the members of the com
mitteeSenators Piatt of Connecticut,
Burnham and Teller present. The dis
cussion waB a very general one, but no
definite result beyond that of deciding to
call the trust officials was reached. The
opinion was generally expressed that the
investigation would not be long drawn
out, unless men should be summoned from
Cuba, in which case some time might be
necessary to secure the persons wanted.
Opposed to the Corliss Bill.
' WASHINGTON, April 29. A number of
prominent railway officials attended to
day's hearing of the House committee on
commerce to give their view of the Cor
liss bill, enlarging the powers of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
A. C Bird, second vice-president of tho
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, said the
railroads recognized the evils of rate
cutting which resulted from excessive
Competition, and would be glad to secure
remedial legislation. He did not think,
however, that the proposed measure would
give tho relief sought, and he opposed
such far-reaching enlargements of the
bower of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Moody Named for Secretary.

WHEELER AND THE' FILIPINOS.
Old Cavalry Leader Does Not Believe
Thcr Are Malevolent.
NEW YORK. April 29.-Tn a long inter
view published by the Herald, General
Joseph Wheeler, retired, who Is at tho
home of his sister in Brooklyn, has die
cussed the Philippines in the light of re
cent developments from his point of view
after six months service there in com
mand; or a brigade.
"My service was confined," he said, "to
that section of the country extending for
about 128 miles above Manila and some 30
or 40 miles- In breadth. It is a thickly
populated country, its cities have schools
and the people are more of less educated.
The impression I had' from these people
was that all they wanted was an honest,
fair government, and I found them very
appreciative of kindness.
"We had a great many fights with the
Insurgents, but in no instance was there
any cruelty by our soldiers," or, so far
as I know, any killing, except according
to the rules Of war. I never heard of
any water cure, or any other Infliction of
torture upon the Filipinos.'
"Is It true.'. he Was asked, "that Sher
man's Army, on its march to the sea, was
guilty of such acts as have been attrib
uted to our troops in the Philippines.'?"
"It la true that Sherman's Army did
burn buildings, but I never heard of its
ever killing or hurting a noncombatant,"
replied General Wheeler, thoughtfully.
"My relations with the Filipinos," he
continued, "led me to believe that they
are not malevolent people. It Is true, they
were not always frank, and this was due
to tho fact that insurgent chiefs were
constantly demanding Information and
money from them, and they were afraid
to neglect these demands, because if they
did so they would suffer very severely In
their property, and possibly in their lives
If our troops left, and there was a con
stant impression among them that our
troops would only remain temporarily In
that country.
"There were some Instances of cruelty
on the part of the Filipinos, but they were
very few. All the prisoners who were
taken by them and who were returned to
us whom I talked to spoke enthusiastic
ally of the kindness with which they were
treated, with the exception of Lieutenant
Glllmore. He complained of harsh treat
ment and almost starvation. There was
one case of cruelty by General Aklno,
who, It was eald, ordered three prisoners
to be shot when he was so pressed that
ho thought they would be retaken by
the United States troops.
"My Impression was that the Filipinos
are responsive te kind methods and ap
preciate them, and their general expres
sions to mo were that they should love
to be citizens of the United States if they
be equals of the Americans, but they do
not want to be connected with any goy
crnment where they will be regarded as
Inferiors."
"In your opinion," he was asked, "can
the United States assimilate the Filipinos
without exterminating them?"
"With the exception of a few localities,
peace and qUlct and ordfcf exist In the
Philippines now, quite up to the standard
of oUr own territory, and I am confident
this Condition will be universal through
out the inlands in a Very short time.
"Americans will go there because they
find advantages that are offered by few
countries, and in a few years they will
be the controlling element In those Isl
ands." FUNSTON NOT RESPONSIBLE.
General MncArthnr Tells of the Cap
tore of A&rtxlnnldo.
WASHINGTON, April 29. The Senate
committee on the Philippines today re
sumed the examination Of witnesses in
connection with the investigation of af
fairs in the Philippine Islands. General
Arthur MacArthur Continued his exami
nation. He explained the statement in
his annual report of June 30, 1900, that
"the United States had acquired s6ver
clgnt? by treaty and in a way owned the
Philippine Islands, but did not own the
Philippine people," by saying that the
conclusions were reached alter conversa
tions with an Indefinite number of people
and observation, and that they repre
sented the bulk of the views of the Na
tionalist party.
He then. In response to questions by
Senator Patterson, described the different
towns embraced within the American
lines on the night of February 5, 1SS9,
whan the outbreak occurred, and identified
what purported to be a copy tf the order
of General Luna for the massacre of the
foreign residents of Manila, Senator Pat
terson sought to show that it was not dif
ficult to deceive Agutnaldo by forgery,
and referred to his capture by General
Funston through a forged letter signed
"La Luna." General MacArthur, with
considerable emphasis, declared that Gen
eral Funston was not responsible In any
way for any methods which obtained In
the capture of Agulnaldo.
"I am responsible In that matter (n.
every way and particular," said General
MacArthur. "It was one of the deceptions
frequently practiced in war, and whatever
deception attaches thereto I take."
With regard to the order for the Manila
massacre. General MacArthur, answering
further questions by Senator Patterson,
saldthe order he saw was signed by San
dlco and not by Luna. General Mac
Arthur detailed the efforts made by him
to ferret out Luna's connection with it.
Reverting to the Sandico order. Sen
ator Patterson quoted from a report of
TO BE BURIED TODAY.
Great Actor Who Died Monday.
Dr. F. C. Burns, a surgeon in the United
States Army, as to how he came in pos
session of it through a Filipino, who
made a copy of the original. The Sen
ator referred to a later statement by Dr.
Bufns to the effect that the Filipino
might have stretched things a little. Gen
eral MacArthur claimed there might have
been two a orders. "Would you hang a
yellow dog on the testimony that Is pa
raded here as to the genuineness of those
orders V asked Senator Patterson.
The witness said It would depend on
"what kind of a yellow dog it was.
General MacArthur disclaimed any re
sponsibility for the orders of General Ja
cob H. Smith to make Samar a "howling
wilderness."
Replying to a question by Senator Bev
eridge, General MacArthur said that ab
solute chaos would Tesult should the Fil
ipinos be given complete independence,
and the United States entirely withdraw
from the islands, but he said he would
like to hedge- this statement at another
session pf tho committee. He was, there
fore, excused until tomorrow, tho com
mittee going Into executive session fur
ther to consider the advisability of sum
moning witnesses asked for by tho mi--nority.
After some discussion it was decided
to postpone the taking of a Vote on tho
proposition until tomorrow morning, at
which time the committee will also pass
upon the question of the advisability of
sending a committee to the Philippines
to continue tho Investigation.
GENERAL SMITH'S COURT-MARTIAL
Native Boys Served In the Insurgent
Army.
MANILA, April 29. When the trial by
court-martial of General Jacob H. Smith
was resumed today, Pedro Bella, a boy
"mascot" of Company E, of the Ninth
Infahtry, commanded by Captain Thomas
W. Connell, who was massacred by the
Samar natives at Balangiga, testified that
he Baw Captain Connell's death wound
given by a boy of 15. The witness saw
several other boys of the same age among
the natives, who took part In the massa
cre, and thought he could himself use
a bolo against a soldier.
Captain Waldo E. Ayer, General Smith's
Adjutant-General, Bald he had been close
ly -In touch with all the movements and
knew General Smith's plans, purposes and
feeling at every phase. He added that
on the General's arrival the coast was
deserted, and he saw that some town3
filled with people when ho left. But so far
as the people of Samar were concerned,
he met only one man worthy of respect,
who was sincere, patriotic and honorable.
He must admit, however, that the man
with this qualification was born at Marin
deque, of Tagal ancestry. "
First Lieutenant Van Deman, of the
Twenty-first Infantry, who had charge of
tho military information bureau, de
scribed, from tho records, the treachery
of the natives of Samar.

TAFT DEFENDS THE ARMY
SAYS INSTANCES OF CRUELTY IN
THE PEOLIPPJNES ARE RARE.
Relations of the Chorea and Gov
eminent in the Islands Neces
sity of & Separation.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 29.-Gover-nor-General
William H. Taft, of the
Philippines, was well received this after
noon when he addressed about 700 stud
ents, professors and others In College
Hall at Yale. He was Introduced by
President A. T. Hadley.
Governor Taft reviewed tho same
grounds as covered by his evidence be
fore the Senate and House committees.
With respect to the evidence as to the
water cure and other cruelties, Governor
Taft said that it must be remembered
that the army of 40,000 to 60,000 men.
by reason of tho guerrilla warfare carried
on by the Insurgents, had to be divided
into 500 posts many of which were com
manded by First and Second Lieutenants
and Captains and sometimes Sergeants;
that the detachments In the field far ex
ceeded the number of posts and that this
explained how it was possible, with many
engagements dally, that exceptional in
stances of such abuses might occur with
out typifying the conduct of the Army,
which, on the whole, was considerate
toward the natives. It was not to be ex
pected that in an army of 60,000 men
there should not be brutes or weak men
who would yield to the temptation of
arbitrary power, and the provocation
hardly to be understood of the ambush
and treachery, savagery and danger of
Filipino guerrilla warfare. With respect
to the order of General Smith in Samar,
the speaker said that as tho matter was
subjudlce, he did not feel Justified in
making a public statement. The dnade
quacy of Bhort cablo dispatches In giv
ing a true picture of the situation re
quired a delay until the whole record
could bo forwarded and the findings re
viewed by the President.
In speaking of the relations between
the church and the government in the
Philippines the speaker said that under
the Spanish rule the church and state
had had their interests so inextricably
fused that it was a work of tho nicest
and most difficult character to separate
justly the Interests of one from the other,
and yet these Interests must be separated
in order that the? church and state in
the Philippines should be brought to the
condition required by our traditions and
system of government. It was an in
dispensable condition, preparatory to
bringing the necessary separation, that
there Bhould be some conference between
the church and the representatives of
this Government with a view to an ami
cable adjustment. Furthermore, thlB con
ference Bhould be held between a rep
resentative of the United States and a
representative of tho great corporation
of tho church Catholic, or there should be
a conference between a representative of
this Government and the head of the
church as a matter of facilitating a
complete settlement. It could not, of
course, involve the establishment of dip
lomatic relations with the Vatican, but
If held would be a conference made neces
sary by the unusual circumstances of a
transfer of sovereignty from a country
closely associated with the church to one
which must have tho interests of the
church and state separate.
Manila Merchants Indorse the Army.
MANILA, April 29. The American
Chamber of Commerce has passed a reso
lution indorsing the action of the United
States Army in the Philippines in the
endeavor to counteract what the mem
bers of the chamber believe to bo the
opinion in the United States that the
officers and soldiers have acted in vlola-
tion of the rules of war. Tho preamble
says the chamber is composed exclslvely
of American business men, who have been
thrown into intimate contcat with the
conditions everywhere in the Archipelago,
and it was resolved that without the con
stant watchfulness and protection' of the
Army in the Philippines, no property or
business Interests would be safe, and that
upon Its Influence depends the stability of
the civil government. The resolution eulo
gizes General Chaffee.
SHAFFER VINDICATED.
Amalgamated Association Indorses
His Annual Report.
WHEELING, W.Va., April 29. It is
now practically certain that President
Theodoro Shaffer is the big man of the
Amalgamated Association. Today the con
vention, with a few dissenting voices,
indorsed his annual report. The commit
tee acted favorably on the statements en
trusted to them, and their resolutions
were ratified by the convention. The most
Important of tho reports was that of Mr.
Shaffer, which gave the history of the
strike and his explanation of every one
of his many acts during the momentous
struggle. The action of the convention is
a vindication of his entire course. It is
not llkoly now that there will be much
opposition to Mr. Shaffer's re-election.
The report of the committee on constitu
tion and general laws was still under dis
cussion when the convention adjourned at
5 o'clock.

Mr. Gompers concludes:
"I have not asked anyone to defend the
American Federation of Labor or myself
before the convention of the Amalgamat
ed Association, and have no desire on my
part to do so, but stand ready to go to
Wheeling at the request of Mr. Shaffer
or the convention. I am desirous of testi
fying that the American Federation of
Labor and I, as an officer and as a man,
have done our whole duty fully and faith
fully, and that if there be any reflection
upon any one during the inauguration or
conduct or outcome of the steel strlko of
1901, tne blame must lie at the door of
others than the American Federation of
Labor or myself."
