ASK FOR GARDENER
Democrats Want Him Sum
moned to Washington,
WARM DISCUSSION IN SENATE
Majority Accused, of Trying to Snp-
presit Facts and Information
Sundry Civil BUI Under
Consideration.
The Senate was enlivened jeaterday
by a demand by Patterson Xhat Major
Gardener be summoned from the Phil
ippines to testily as t alleged barbari
ties in Tayabas Province. This was op
posed by Republican members of the
Philippine committee, as Gardener Is
about to return with his regiment, and
will be here in time to appear before
Congress adjourns.
WASHINGTON. April 30. A resolution
offered In the Senate tofiay by Patterson,
directing the Secretary of War to order
by cablegram Major Gardener, now in
the Philippines, to comet at once to Wash
ington to appear as a witness before the
Philippine Commission, precipitated a
warm discussion .The debate continued
for about two hours, much feeling being
manifested on both sides of the cham
ber. The charge was made by the minor
ity that .the majority of the committee
was trying to suppress facts and Informa
tion. This was denied by the chairman
of the committee. Lodge, who said that
cny such action would be Inconceivably
stupid. All parties, he Insisted, were
anxious for the fullest information, but
he and others contended that it would
not be advisable to cable for Major Gard
ener, as he was about to come here and
would be here in time to appear before
the committee. Patterson and Carmack
urged that Gardenprs testimony was Im
portant and that it ought to be had be
fore action was taken on the pending bill.
The resolution finally went over until to
morrow. The bill for the purchase of the Rosebud
yreervatlon in South Dakota and the
sundry civil appropriation bill were con
sidered, but no action was taken on them.
The Proceeding.
Soon after the Senate convened Burton,
from the committee on public lands, re
ported back the bill granting to the Cen
tial Arizona Railroad a right of way for
railway purposes through the San Fran
cisco Mountain forest reserve In Arizona,
with a recommendation that It be passed,
notwithstanding the objection of the Pres
ident expressed in a veto message. Bur
ton asked immediate consideration for the
till, but Wellington objected, and the
measure went to the calendar.
Consideration of the blil to ratify an
agreement with the Sioux tribe of In
dians, of the Rosebud reservation, in
South Dakota, was resumed. Gamble
made an explanation of the measure,
strongly urging Its enactment. The bill
was debated until 2 o'clock, when it went
sver. Tillman favored the amendment re
luesting settlers to purchase the lands,
Quarjes taking the same position. Dubois
and Clark of Montana favoring the bill
as reported. Clark made quite an extend
ed argument in favor of free homes In
the West .f
Consideration of the Philippine govern
ment blll was then resumed, ana Pat
terson offcred a resolution for which he
asked immediate consideration, directing
the Secretary of War to cable Major
Gardener, ex-Civil Governor of the Prov
ince of Tayabas, to return to the United
States to appear as a witness before th
Philippine committee. In the preamble to
the resolution, Patterson declared that
the Philippine committee had decided, by
a "partisan" vote, to refuse to ask that
Major Gardener be cabled to appear as
soon as ho could come to the United J
States.
McComas raised the question that it was
not proper to say that the committee had
divided upon "partisan" lines.
Allison, a member of the Philippine com
mittee, objected to the use of the word
"partisan," and recommended that it was
the misfortune of the majority of the
Philippine committee not to be able to
bring the "partisan" minority Into con
formity with its views.
Patterson said it was the desire of the
minority of the committee to get Major
Gardener as a witness as coon as possible.
The effort was made in good faith, as he
was regarded as a valuable witness.
Allison said he was satisfied that Major
Gardoner would reach Washington long
before Congress adjourned and there
would be ample time to get his testimony
in the regular coursa of events without
calling on the- authorities to cable him to
come at -once.
Tillman Indicated his belief that in
formation was being "smothered," and
he asked Lodge whether he proposed to
"dragoon the Senate into a vote upon
thlp measure."
Lodge replied, laughing, that he wished
he could, but Tillman knew he could do
nothing of the kind.
"Of course," said Tillman, "everything
can go along leisurely If the Philippine
Commission is to smother information'
Allison pointed out that nobody objected
to the testimony of Major Gardener. His
regiment would leave the Philippines soon.
He intimated that Major Gardener was
particularly anxious to be a witness, and
personally he was not in favor of decorat;
lng him by ordering him by cable to come
to this country in advance of his regi
ment. Carmack declared that the report made
by Major Gardener was so startling and
Important that the Secretary of War had
endeavored to keep It from the Senate
and from the American people.
Culberson explained that the minority of
the Philippine committee especially de
sired Major Gardener's testimony, because
his statements had been challenged by
Governor Taft and General MacArthur.
Lodge, the chairman, said that Major
Gardener ought to appear before the com
mittee. Personally, he desired to hear his
testimony before Congress adjourned. If
the testimony of one provincial Governor
was desirable, that of 800 odd other pro
vincial Governors should be.
"Has the Senate suggested," interrupt
ed Patterson, "that the other Governors
be called?"
"I make tho suggestion "now," replied
Xiodge.
Patterson said tho minority had object
ed to the calling of no witness, and, in
deed, was willing that any witnesses
should be summoned who could throw any
light on the situation. Continuing, Lodge
said that the minority of the committee
had suggested that Agulnaldo, Blxto Lo
pez, and some prisoners of war on the
Island of Guam; H. H. Bray, an agent of
the Filipino Junta at Hong Kong, and two
Associated Press correspondents Mr. Col
lins, at Pekin. and Mr. Martin, in Vene
zuelabe called as witnesses. The com
mittee had decided not to call them for
various reasons. The committee said
that the testimony of the Filipino pris
oners was not desirable: Bray was a
British subject, and the two corrcspond
entf were inaccessible.
Carmack said Major Gardener had made
a grave accusation against military con
duct Ij his province, and he believed the
accusation demanded Investigation. He
then sent to the clerk's desk and aftel
some objection from Lodge and a briet
spat between the two. read a synopsis of
a statement which JEdward Atkinson ex
pectcd to have made 'to the committee.
Soon after, the Philippine hill was laid
aside and the reading of the sundry civil
appropriation bill was resumed.
Allison offered an amendment which
was adopted, appropriating $25O,G0Of or 'tho
purchase of tho ground and building now
occupied by the Census Bureau.
The Senate at 5:05 P. M., went into ex
ecutive session, and at 5:20 P. M. adjourned.
RECIPROCITY THEATIES.
All Will Be Reported Favorably Ex
cept Argentina and Jamaica.
WASHINGTON. April 30. The Senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed to report favorably all the recipro
city treaties before the committee, except
the treaty with Argentina and the treaty
with Great Britain pertaining to Jamaica,
which the committee decided to report ad
versely. The treaties on which favorable
reports were reached are those between
the United States and Spain. Nicaragua.
Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, and
four with Great Britain, covering Bermu
da. Barbadoes, British Guiana, Calces, and
Turk Island.
All the treaties upon -which favorable
reports are to be made arc to be amend
ed in accordance with a previous agree
ment by adding the following provision:
"This treaty shall not take effect until
the same shall have been approved by the
Congress."
The effect of this amendment Is to re
quire the House of Representatives, as
well as the Senate, to act on the treaties
before they can become effective.
The defeat of the treaty with the Argen
tine Republic was due largely to the fact
that large quantities of wool are produced
In that country, while the opposition to
the Jamaican treaty was largely on ac
count of citrus fruits and sugar.
The treaties with Nicaragua and Ecua
dor have expired, but the committee con
tinued them on the theory that favorable
action by the committee has the effect of
renewing them .so far as this country is
concerned.
The committee divided, seven to six, on
the French reciprocity treaty, and ro
versed those figures on the Argentine
treaty. The vote against the Jamaican
treaty was unanimous. In addition to the
complaint made that the admission of
Jamaican fruits at the reduced rates
would have a bad effect. It also was found
that Jamaica had twice advanced her
own tariff rates since the treaty had
been entered upon, so that even under the
reduction proposed on American Importa
tions into that country, they would pay
more than like articles paid before the
DInglcy law was enacted.
When the Senate met In executive ses
sion later In the day Senator Cullom re
ported the treaties, briefly explaining the
nature of the repbrt in each case. He did
not ask to have a time set for consider
ation of them.

Manzanlllo, Cuba, says a dispatch from
that city to the Tribune. They left Bay
amo escorted by a detachment of rural
guards and many friends, on horseback.

Gonzalo Quesada spoke of President
Palma and General Masso. He recounted
the enthusiastic reception given to the
President, also th6 affectionate greeting
by General Masso. He was glad of it,
for It would showv other nations no cause

be such as to show the world there ex
isted only one soul In Cuba, and that tho
life of the republic He bolleved confi
dence would be restored after the news
of President Palma's reception was pub
lished. He sold Cuba owed a deep deb
of gratitude to the United States for the
glorious work done and her magnanimous

ARE UNFIT TO GOVERN
GENERAL MACARTHUR'S OPINION
OF FILIPINOS' ABILITY".
American Withdrawal from Islands
Would Result in a Fratricidal
War, He Says.
WASHINGTON, April 30. Major-Gen-eral
MacArthur today gave further tes
timony before the Senate committee on
the Philippines. Ho explained' hla state
ment made yesterday that absolute chaos
would have resulted should Independence
be given the Filipinos and the United
States forces withdrawn, by saying that
the people of the Philippines, being less
prepared for self-government and admin
istration than any ef the Latin-American
republics at the time of their emancipation
from Spain, their own unaided efforts to
accomplish self-regeneration would, In all
probability, prove rudimentary Ideas and
aspirations and they are therefore in an
essentially plastic condition, which, under
the tultlonary control of the United States
would, In his opinion, admit of a rapid
molding of the htfdy politic into consist
ent, self-upportlng commonwealth. Even
the beat thinkers, he said, among the. F1H
olnos. have no conceotlon wnatever of
j the practical mechanical efforts whereby
the results they are all anxjodg to attain
can be successfully accomplished.
American withdrawal from the Inlands
would, in his opinion, result In the per
manent failure of republican Institutions
in the East, and a fratricidal war which
would continue until suppressed by some
exterior force. The broad generalization,
he said, is reached that th United States
must retain the tultlonary annex; that we
must plant our Institutions, that we must
j contend for commercial supremacy and
to overcome tho inherent difficulties of
the situation which will riqulre the most
profound efforts of constructive states
manship. He gave It as his conscientious
belief that the presence of the United
States in the Philippines Is an unmiti
gated benefaction to the Filipino people.
"Do you mean the Filipino people that
are left alive after they have ben sub
jugated?" Inquired Senator Patterson.
General MacArthur declared that he did
not mean that there has been any un
usual destruction of life In the Philippines.
"The destruction," .said he. "Is simply In
cident to war, and, of course, embraces a
very small percentage of the" total popu
lation, which 19 dense."
"Thirty-three and a third per cent In
one province," remarked Mr. Patterson.
Replying to this statement, General
MacArthur Informed Senator Patterson
that If he preferred to beljeve- that, he
(MacArthur) could not help it.
"We have as much right to believe that
from an American officer who is the Civil
Governor and who Is there In the province
as we have to believe you," replied Sena
tor Patterson, which brought the retort
from General MacArthur:
"You con believe that. Believe what
you wish, and I will believe what I wish."
The committee, by a strict party vote,
refused to subpona Major 'Cornelius Gar
dener, Agulnaldo, Slxto Lopes and! Mal
blna. General MacArthur referred tq his
many efforts to bring about a cessation
of hostilities and stop the bloodshed.
Theso efforts, ho said, were directed to
Agulnaldo. through some of blfc, friends,
because, In his opinion, Agulnaldo was
the "incarnation of the revplutton."
General MacArthur said the disparity
between the killed and wouhded of the
Filipino and American forces1 was due
to the fact that the Filipinos kndw noth
ing of the double sights on. tho rifles.
Senator Putterson wanted- to know, If,
as a matter of fact, the contacts be
tween our troops and the Filipinos were
simply assault and pursuits.
General MacArthur denied that this
was so. saying thatlnce the affair has
reached the geurrllla stage, the United
States troops have had the greatest dif
ficulty In finding the Filipinos, bo that
whenever the Filipinos attacked, It was
In the nature of a surprise, the Filipino
posting himself In thick mountain gorges
and firing first Under these circum
stances, our officers and men would go
In after them and ..then the natursf su
premacy of the American showed Itself
and every man that cpuld be reached
would be killed.
Responding to a question by Senator
Carmack, General MacArthur said that
when he assumed responsibility for the
methods adopted in capturing Agulnaldo,
he did so without conferring with the
authorities in Washington. The plan
was General Funston's, ha said, and he
(MacArthur) assumed the responsibility
of approving It At no time, paid Gen
eral MacArthur. replying to an Inquiry
from Senator Patterson, did he violate
the rules of civilized warfare.
General MacArthur was excused until
tomorrow and the committee went Into
executive session. By a strict party vote,
the commltteo refused to subpoena Ma
jor Gardener, Agulnaldo. Slxto Lopez
and Mablnl. The question of sending a
sub-committee to the Philippines to con
tinue the investigation was passed over.
GENERAL SMITH'S ORDERS.
None Sent to Him From the Depart
ment at Washington,
WASHINGTON, April 30. If Is rumored
at the War Department that Its answer
to the resolutions proposed by the mili
tary affairs committee of tho House as to
the nature of Instructions sent to General
Jacob H. Smith, from Washington, for
hl3 guidance In the Samar campaign will
be very brief. According to the officials,
no orders on this subject were sent to
General Smith from Washington, And tho
officer acted entirely under the Instruc
tions of his superior. General -Chaffee. It
Is also declared that General Chaffee was
not instructed from Washington .as to the
kind of warfare to be waged 4n Samar.
Tho nearest step in that direction Is the
re-pubHcatlon, as a guide for the Army.
1 of general order, No. 100, the department
taKing tms means or calling attention to
the fact that the order was stfjl In force.
If the court-martial now trying General
Smith accepts the viow that this order is
In as full effect now as when It was
promulgated In the day of the Civil War,
then It Is predicted here at the department
that General Smith will rely for his ac
quittal upon article 80 of that order, which
authorizes a suspension of all rules of
civilized -warfare and retaliation when
the enemy acts In a similar manner.

DENVER, April SO. Wheri General
Funston's attention was called to the
declaration of General M&eArthur that
he (MacArthur) was responsible for
methods used in the capture of Agul
naldo, he said:
"That Is right General MacArthur
made a similar statement several months
ago. This Is simply a repetition of his
former utterances, when he said he was
responsible fcr.tfcs method 4a the. cep-
1 ture of Agulnaldo. I got up the plan and
eubmltted It to General MacArthur. -The
whole plan was submitted to htm. and

in the capture of Agulnaldo. General
MacArthur is perfectly right In what he
says."
CAPTAIN DAYTON EXPLAINS
Mea of the Chicago Arrested "While
Resisting Venice Police.
WASHINGTON. April SO.-Secretary
Long has received the following cablegram
from Captain Dayton, of the Chicago,
dated Venice, yesterday, In answer to
the department's Inquiry:
"Dodrldge, Wynne. Ledbetter, Kress and
one marine on leave arreted. Principal
charge resisting police. Serious chargo
under Italian law. Sentences, Wynne,
four months, ten days; remainder, threo
months each. Have not yet their full
statement or a report from court, but; ap
plied for. Resisting arrest largely due
to pressing In of crowd and not under
standing language. Appeal made to Rome.
Impossible to explain all circumstances by
cable. Will make full report"
The State Department has begun tho
exercise of Its good offices In the Interests
of the officers of the Chicago. Captain
Dayton's explanatory cablegram, show
ing that resistance to the police officers
was clearly the result of a misunder
standing, and was not a deliberate of
fense, has done much to strengthen the
Interest of the officials hero In their
case. Secretary Hay has communicated
by cable with Mr. Meyer, the United
States Ambassador, on this subject and
good results are hoped for. It Is be
lieved that the case Is one requiring
very delicate handling to avoid wounding
Italian pride, but the belief prevails that
the Italian Government will respond In
a magnanimous spirit to an appeal for
clemency for the young officers.
To Avoid Farther Trouble.
NEW YORK, April 30. The commander
of the cruiser Chicago, at Venice, con
tinues to kren all his men on board to
avoid further trouble, says a Roms dis
patch to th Tribune. Tho officers who
aro sentenced to imprisonment for disor
derly conduct are being treated with a
certain Tcgard, but with prison rules.
It eceroo that American officers have
never before been arrested abroad, except
years ago In Brazil, when an officer shot
a dscrter. Through the good offices of
Washington. Dom Pedro released him.
The question now is whether the officers
may be allowed to ask pardon of the
King, or whether the request must go
through the Embassy. The cruiser will
sail on Friday for Trieste.
Application -for Discharge Rejected.
ROME, April 80. The ""officers of tho
United States cruiser Chicago, who were
arrested at Venice, remain In prison there.
An application for their discharge haa
been rejected. The Italian law does not
allow the court to giant pardon In cases
of assaulte on tho police. Scene of tha
newspapers mention the lynchlnga of Ital
ians in the United States as sufficient rea
son for a refusal of royal -clemency. It
Is considered probable, however, that the
prisoners will be released by order of the
King, June 1, the date of the fete of the
constitution.

Measure Personal Tax Law at
Washington May Be Enforced.
WASHINGTON, April SO. The House
today passed the agricultural appropria
tion bill and began consideration of the
District of Columbia bill, the last but two
of the regular supply measures. By the
terms of a special rule adopted before the
District bill was taken up, It wlU be In
order to attach a rider to It to make
operative ' the existing personal tax law
of the District, which has been a dead
letter for 20 years. Chairman Cannon

The Goldfogle resolution, calling on the
Secretary of State for information as to
whether American citizens of Jewish faith
were excluded from Russia, was adopted.
The Proceedings.
Without preliminary business the House
resumed consideration of the agricultural
bill. Cannon offered an amendment to
transfer $60,000 of the appropriation for
the expenses of the division of statistics

Dr. M. C. Gee's Experience.
Dr. M. C. Gee Is one of the physicians
who Indorse Peruna, In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, Sai Francisco, Cal.,
he says:
"There is a general objectioa on
the part of the practicing physi
cian to advocate patent medicines.
Bat when any one medicine enres
hundreds of people, It demonstrates
its o-rrn value and does not need the
indorsement of the profession.
"Pernna has performed so many
wonderful cares In San Francisco
that I am convinced that It is a
valuable remedy. I have frequently
advised its nse for women, as I find
it insures rejrulnr and painless men
struation, cares leucorrhoea and
ovarian troubles, and build up the
entire system. I also consider it
one of the finest catarrh remedies
I know of. I hereafter indorse your
medicine." 31. C. GEE, M. D.
Miss Rose De la Sen, 16 Windsor ave
nue, Windsor, Ontario, Secretary of the .
French Women's Clubs of Ontario, Can
ada, writes:
"I have been a sufferer from ovarian
troubles for over four years; which caused
me excruciating pains at times and life
looked very dreary to me. My family
physician and other doctors prescribed
for me, but failed dismally In relieving
me, but I am pleased to state that after
years of suffering I have been entirely
cured by jour woman's friend, Peruna."
.aiary a Bartholomew, St Francisville.
111., eays: "About twelve years ago 1
was afflicted with female trouble (pelvic
catarrh). I doctored with several skillful
physicians, but kept getting worse, until
I became bedfast I was in this condi
tion about two years, under the attend
ance of four physicians. I got no better
during this time. Finally, looking over
Dr. Hartman's female book, I concluded
I would write for advice. I am not sorry
I did eo. I owe my life to Dr. Hartman
and Peruna. My friends and nelghbora
never expected to see me well again."
