Two notable speeches marked the clos

They were made by Landls, an Indiana
Republican, and by "Williams, a Mis
sissippi Democrat. There. were demon
strations after each concluded. The
other speakers -were Ball (Dem. Tex.).

WASHINGTON, June 24. Some routine
business was transacted In the House to
day prior to the resumption of the debate
on the Philippine civil government MIL
Bills were passed to establish a sub-port
of ontrj' at Naco, Ariz.; to appropriate
53000 annually for the support and main
tenance of the Permanent International
Commission of tne Congress of Naviga
tion, and to authorize the Director of the
Census to compile statistics regarding
irrigation.
Ball (Dem. Tex.), the first speaker on the
Philippine civil government bill today,
made a general onslaught on the Republi
can policy. Taking Pecksniff as his text,
he charged the President and Administra
tion with hypocrisy. If the President
would dissolve "the firm of Havemeyer,
Root, "Wood, Thurber & Co.," and strike
a blow at the sutrar trust by agreeing to
accept the House Cuban reciprocity bill.1
he said, the bill would pass the faenate
by the aid of a solid Democratic vote in
24 hours. The responsibility for the fall
tire to do our duty by Cuba, he insisted,
rested on thePresldenL
Turning to the question -of trusts., he
also charged - the Administration.- with
hypocrisy on that subject.
"Has the gentleman read Mr. Bryan's
comment upon the Democratic harmony
dinner in New York?" asked Olmsted
(Rep. Pa.).
"I decline to answer such an imperti
nent question." replied Ball, amid Repub
lican laughter.
-What is your remedy for trustsr
caked Littlefleld (Rep. Me.).
"To place all trust-made products on
the free list," responded Ball; "to deny
trusts the power of interstate transporta
tion and the use of the malls, and to in
augurate an administration which will re
sort to penal statutes and not injunctions
in the prosecution of trusts."
In charging the Democrats' with assail
ing the Army in the Philippines, Ball
charged that the Republicans were hypo
critical. "Like hyenas," said he, "you go down
Into the grave to slander the armies of
the South and of the North to try to
make the Americans believe the soldiers
of both armies were guilty of the sort of
atrocities that occurred in the Philippines.
1 denounce your statement as calumnies
and slanders on both armloa"
Lnndis Support the Bill.
Landls (Rep. Ind.), who followed Ball,
made an earnest speech in support of the
policy of retaining the Philippine Islands.
He drew a touching picture of the death
bed scene of a soldier who died in his
home town last October, and who said
to Landls before he died:
"We soldiers who served. in the Philip
pines do not want to have it said in the
years to come we followed a retreating
flag."
In that utterance, Landls said, was the
true philosophy of the situation.
"And." he added, amid Republican ap
plause, "it will not be said In the years
to come that our brave boys followed a
retreating flag."
The Democrats urged on the war wllh
Spain, and they helped to ratify the
treaty which gave the Philippines to the
United States. saJd he.
Landls engaged in a sharp passage with
Clark (Dem. Mo.). He described Clark, af
ter war was declared, as charging up
and down the aisle boasting that the Dem
ocrats had taken the Republican party by
the scruff of the neck and dragged it Into
war. This drew from Clark a challenge
to Landls to place in his speech the name
of the 8 Republicans whom he described
as the "kickers." and who. he said, wont
to president McKinley and threatened to
vote with the Democrats to recognize the
independence of Cuba, unless he sent tho
right kind of message to Congress.
"That is a fiction," cried Landls, while
Cooper (Rep Wis.), who said he was a
member of the committee that waited upon
President -Mckinley, denied that any such
conversation ever occurred. On the con
trary, he said, the committee told the
President that they were willing to abide
by tile decision of the Administration.
Landls thereupon repeated his state
ment that Clark had boasted that the
Democrats had dragged tho Republicans
into the war.
"That's what we did," shouted Clark.
"And then when the war came with its
problems, consequonces and responsibili
ties," flashed back Landls, "you turned
your backs and ran away."
A tremendous burst of applause greeted
this reply. For fully a minute it con-'
tinued until checked by the presiding of
ficer. '
"There is not a word of truth in that
statement," retorted Clark, when the ap
plause died away.
"And that Is not all," returned Landls.
"They not only turned their backs and ran
away, but they are running yet." (Re
newed Republican applause.)
"That statement is not true, either,"
cried Clark. When Landls referred to
Clark's former criticisms of Grover Cleve
land, the Missouri member corrected him
and declared "the second election of Gro
ver Cleveland was the greatest calamity
that has befallen the human race since
the fall of Adam."
"Didn't you vote for him?" queried Lan
dls.
"Yes," responded Clark amid great
laughter: "and that is one thing I expect
td pray to Almighty God to give absolu
tion for on the day of Judgment."
Landls gave a description of the Mis
souri delegation and Clark singing:
"Grover, Grover, four years more of Gro
ver, and then we'll be in clover."
Recent events had shown, he said, that
the Democratic managers were looking for
a new leader. Who waa it to be? The
peerless leader apparently was about to
move from a $3000 to a $25,000 house and
retire from public life.
"It looks very much," assorted Landls,
"as though Grover Cleveland was to be
the man, and If he-Is, the gentleman from -J
juissouri again win De neara in tne cnorns,
'Grover, Grover, four years more of Gro
ver. "
Landis paid a glowing tribute to tn6
bravery and heroism of General Funston.
In the midst of it, while he was describing
Funston'o swimming a river during the
expedition which resulted in the, capture
of Aguinaldo, Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) raised a
general laugh by exclaiming: "Funston
can't swim."
Landls concluded with an eloquent peror
ation in which he declared that i was" bis
belief that the Anglo-Saxon race was des-
i
tiaed ultimately to rule and triumph
throughout the length and breadth of the
world. He was given a most flattering
ovation when he took his seat.
x Jones (Dem. Va.) at this'polnt utilized a
tew minutes, as he said, to expose the
record of Buencamlno, a member of the
Civil Service Commission at Manila, who
appeared before the Insular committee and
who yesterday made' a pilgrimage to Mc
Klnleys tomb at Canton. He first quoted
the opinion of General Otis, made in an
interview had with him by Theodore W.
Noyes, of the Evening Star, of this city.
In. which General Otis describes Buenca
mlno as a "professional turncoat, everv-
l thing by turns and nothing long." Jones
also read a long letter written to him by
Slxto Lopez, quoting Buencamlno In 1SSS
as extolling Spain and Weyler and de
nouncing Dr. Rlzal, the Filipino martyr.
In celebration of whose memory Buenca
mlno is now attempting to inaugurate an
exposition at Manila.
"I see by th,e morning papers." Jones
continued, "that yesterday this man vis
ited Mrs. McKinley and shed tears that
he visited McKlnlcys tomb and again
shed tears."
Shafroth (Pop. Colo.), In opposing the
Philippine policy of the Administration,
discussed tho question of who were the
real patriots.
"To charge men whose actions are
prompted by the highest good to our roun
try with being copperheads and traitors,"
he said, "is as diabolical a slander 'as was
ever uttered. Impartial history will deter
mine that the true patriots are those
Americans who love their country too
well to let it do -wrong; too well to allow
it to violate the principles of the Declara
tion of Independence; too well to let it
repudiate government of the people, for
the people and by the people; too well to
permit it to be wrecked on the rocks and
shoals of colonial empire."
Williams (Dem. Miss.) made the closing
speech In behalf of the policy favored by
the minority. The Filipino people, he de
clared, were willing to learn and were
willing to die for their liberty two tests
which, he said, entitled them to self
government. Why, he asked, would it not
be wise to do for the Filipinos what we
had done for the Cubans?
Recalling Landls' etory told early In the
day of the soldier returning from tho Phil
ippines, he said the boy had died to give
life to a treaty the underlying and fun
damental idea of which is that a despot
has a right to soli the Independence and
nationality of a people to a free Republic
(Applause on the Democratic side.)
"The time for the gentleman from Mis
sissippi to have thought of that wao when
the treaty was up for ratification," inter
posed Landis.
"The gentleman did think of it then,"
replied Williams, "and the majority of the
Democrats in this country thought of It
then. The mistake of one Democrat, who
was a leader then and Is a great and hon
est man now. cannot be charged up for all
time against a righteous sentiment. But
whether the Democratic party was right
or wrong, whether the Democratic party
made amistake or not, the question Is now
and here. Have you a right to buy from a
despot the nationality and the independ
ence of a people? That Is the question.
"Every man knows that heretofore we
have annexed unsettled areas peopled with
a white race or else peopled with an Indian
race so sparsely settled that thoy did not
intorfere with home-making in the- an
nexed territory by the sons and daughters
of American people. Every man knows
that this is the first time that we ever un
dertook to annex against their will, fight
ing with arms against It, a population
denser than that of the State of Missis
sippi today. Every man and nearly every
woman and every boy. If General Smith
is to be believed. Is fighting against us
as against a despotism. The gentleman
knows that the American flag never before
went anywhere It was not hailed as a
harbinger of liberty and a protector of
helpless and defenseless people against
savages and against foreign power."
Crumpacker (Rep. Ind.) closed for his
side. After a general defense of the Ad
ministration, he presented a careful argu
ment In support of the bill reported by
the insular committee.
At 5 o'clock the House took a recess
until 8 P. M.
General debate on the Philippine bill was
closed at the session tonight, when the
speakers were Lacey (Rep. la.), Schlrm
(Rep Md.) and Douglass (Rep N. Y.),
for the bill, and Flnley (Dem S. C.) and
McDermott (Dem. N. J.), in opposition.
At 10:30, the House adjourned, and in
accordance with the rule governing this
debate, the consideration of the five-minute
rule will begin at 11 A. M. tomorrow.
AppenlH In Lnnd Patent Cane.
WASHINGTON, June 24. A subcommit
tee of the senate committee on Judiciary
today heard representations' concerning
the bill recently passed by the House,
which gives an appeal to the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia from
decisions of the Secretary ofHhe Interior,
rejecting applications for land patents.
The passage of the bill is strongly op
posed by the miners and oil oporators in
California as disastrous to their inter
ests, and they have sent a number of tele
grams to Senator Porklns. urging the de
foat, of the measure. The friends of the
bill say that under existing law the de
cision of tho Secretary is final is case of
rejection. They, therefore, contend that
applicants should have the right of tak
ing their cases to some court.

GREAT FOREST RESERVE
SENATE PASSES BILL GREATXXG 'OXE
IN SOUTHER APPALACHIANS.
Provide for the Purchase of Poor
Million Acres, to Cost Not to ex
ceed Tea HillloB Dollars.
WASHINGTON, June 2. The Senate
today passed bills creating a National
forest reserve In the Southern Appalach
ian Mountains, and ratifying the agree
ment between the United States and the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indans of In
dian. Territory. The first bill provides for
the purchase of 4,000,000 acres in the South
ern Appalachian system, to cost not to
exceed $10,000,090. The Secretary of Ag
riculture is to designate the lands to be
purchased, and is to take measures to
preserve the hardwood forests which they
bear. Quay was unable today to secure
consideration for his motion to discharge
the committee on territories from further
consideration of the omnibus statehood
bill, but gave notice that he would de
mand that it be taken up tomorrow.
The Proceedings.
Galllnger offered a resolution declaring
that "the present phenomenal prosperity
In all lines of business and industry in
the United States is largely due to the ex
isting tariff law. and the best Interests
of the country demand its continuance,"
and gave notice that he would ajldress the
Senate on the resolution at a later date.
A resolution, offered yesterday by Bailey,
directing the Secretary of State to trans
mit to the Senate all papers In the case
of Bellinberg. against Scott, Including all
communications sent to and received from
the Ambassador to Mexico in respect to
tho case, was called, Bailey said he de
sired to submit sbmo remarks on the reso
lution which would be In crltcisra of the
United States Ambassador to Mexico and
of some officials of the State Department.
The resolution went over at his request.
The bill for the establishment of the
National Appalachian forest reserve was
then taken up, in accordance with pre
vious agreement. Burton madfe an earn
est and forceful speech In support of the
bill, urging its. pastoge on economic
grounds. He maintained that it would
form a vast storage of water, which
would be not only of great advantage to
all the Southern country, but would pre
vent devastating floods from the Lower
Mississippi Valley. After some further
discussion of the bill by Nelson in oppo
sition to It, and Simmons In favor of it.
Bate offered an amendment providing that
the bill shall not take effect until the
Secretary of Agriculturfe shall have report
ed to Congress the plats of each reserva
tion. It was agreed to. The measure
was then passed.
At 2 o'clock consideration was resumed
of the bill to ratify an agreement with
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. An
amendment was adopted to strike out sec
tion 32 of tho measure. This section pro
vides that the citizenship court shall have
appellate Jurisdiction over all Judgments
of the courts In Indian Territory rendered
under the act of June 10, 1S06. admitting
persons to citizenship In the Indian na
tions. The right of appeal may be exer
cised by the nations jointly.
An nmnr,mnt -urna narrtwA to PtrlkinC
out of the bill the appropriation of 515,000 I
to pay the expenses of removal to Indian
Territory of fullblood Mississippi Choc
taws and other Mississippi Choctaws Iden
tified under the pending agreement.
Section 64 of tho bill provides that the
Chickasaw Nation shall cede to the United
States 64d acres of land In the vicinity of
the village of Sulphur, to be paid for by
the United States at not to exceed $20 an
acre, the Improvements on the land to be
paid for by the United States at their
appraised value; and the Government shall
control the sulphur springs.
Bailey vigorously protested against the
Government becoming the keeper of bath
houses and the dlsptnser of mineral water,
as did Aldrlch, who said the Government
should not go Into the health-resort busi
ness. The provision was stricken out.
The bill then was passed.
The following bills were passed: To
grant certain lands to the South Platto
Canal & Reservoir Company, which sup
plies water to the City of Denver; au
thorizing the President to reserve public
lands and buildings In Porto Rico for
public uses, and granting other public
public lands and buildings to the Gov
ernment of Porto Rico, the provision giv
ing the resident Commissioner from Porto
Rico to the United S"tatos a seat In tho
House of Representatives being elimi
nated. Quay, who for some time had been
waiting an opportunity to call up his mo
tion to discharge the committee on ten
rltorles from further consideration of the
omnibus statehood bill, said he had been
unable to get hfs motion under considera
tion on account of the" "obstructive tac
tics" which had been employed against it.
He therefore would let it go over until
tomorrow. He gave notice that after
this evening he would object to any fur
ther business being transacted by unani
mous consent until his motion was dis
posed of, and that he would call up his
motion tomorrow.
Other bills were passed as follows: For
the suppression of tralc robbery In the
territories of the United States and else
where: to amend the act of March 2, 1893,
so as to provide that all locomotives and
tenders shall be equipped with train or
power brakes and automatic couplers; au
thorizing the Secretary of War to lend
arms to institutions having companies in
the boys' brigade connected therewith.
Tho Senate then at 5:40 o'clock went Into
executive session, and soon afterward ad
journed. RESERVE BILL SLIPS THROUGH.
Senate in Line "With Roosevelt oj
Appalachian Forest.
WASHINGTON, June 24. The bill for
the Appalachian forest reserve sllppe'd
through the Senate without any opposi
tion today, and, like the Irrigation bill
that preceded It. did not even demand a
roll-call. This Is another matter which
President Roosevelt recommended in his
message., and whicli ho has supported ever
since Congress met. It Is understood that
a number of Senators are depending upon
the House to kill the bill, the same as they
depended upon the House to kill the Irri
gation bill. The House may take the
same course with this Southern forest re
serve measure as It did with the irrigation
bill, and pass it. In fact a number of
Western men will, no doubt, join the
Southerners In favor of the measure, as
the Western men received help -hen the
irrigation bill was under consideration.
TO GET IRRIGATION STATISTICS.
House Pnsscs Jlesolution of Tonffue
Its Object.
WASHINGTON, June 24. The Houses to
day passed Representative Tongue's Joint
resolution authorizing the Director of the
Census, upon completion of the volume of
agricultural statistics, to complete and
bring up to date of the present crop year
the statistics relating to irrigation, the
area of land reclaimed, cost and value of
the works, and such other Information as
can be obtained bearing upon present con
ditions of Irrigation. These data are de-
sired to assist the Interior Department in
carrying out work under tho new irriga
tion law.
FAVORS MITCHELL'S RESOLUTION
Senate Committee "Would Make In
vestigation in Hawaii.
"WASHINGTON, June 24. The commlt
tcevon contingent expenses of the Senate
has agreed to report a resolution Intro
duced by Senator-Mitchell providing .for
a committee to Investigate the conditions
in the Hawaiian Islands and report at
the next session. It Is -Senator Mitchell's
idea that a Congressional investigation
of the situation in Hawaii Is necessary to
enable Congress to legislate properly for
that territory. Many conflicting reports
have been presented since tho present ses
sion of Congress began, each prejudiced
by the Interests represented. There- is
opposition to any such Investigation be
cause of the "Junket" feature wlch It'
presents, but It is likely that a Congres
sional Investigation of tho Philippines will
be authorized, and if so the Hawaiian
bill will be likely to go through.
A'axal Appropriations Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 24. The confer
ence report of the naval appropriation
bill, which was agreed to by tho Senate.!
was only a partial Teport. Many Impor
tant amendments inserted by the Senate
are still In controversy, and will be made
the subject of further conferences. The
undetermined questions Include all those
relating to the Increase of the Navy, the
.proposed torpedo-boats, and the point as
to whether any of the new warships shall
be built In Government navy-yards; also
the provisions for Increase of staff and
the amendment for the increase of mid
shipmen. Among the Senate amendments accepted
by the conference are those providing for
a naval training station for the Great
Lakes, for repairs at Mare Island, for the
Increasing of tho enlisted force of the
Marine Corps, and giving the commandant
of the Marine Corps the rank of Major
General. Among the Senate amendments
which the House conferees refused to ac
cept, and which therefore were stricken
out, are those providing for improve
ments at1 Guam and Cavlte. P. L
JANE TOFFAN'S MURDERS.
Confessed
to KllIIK
Persons.
Tvrenty-onc
BOSTON, June 24. Suspected of the
death of 11 persons, but Indicted for mur
dering only three. Miss Jane Toppan, who
was yesterday declared Insane, has con
fessed that ahe has killed during her ca
reer as a professional nurse no less than
31 human beings.
This statement was made to Judge
Fred M. Blxby. of Brocton, senior coun
sel at the trial at Barnstable yesterday,
when Miss Toppan was found not guilty
by reason of insanity, of the charge of
murdering Mrs. Mary D. Glbbs. Judge
Blxby said also that Miss Toppan had ad
mitted that she had set fires and commit
ted pther serious acta. She safd she
could not help committing the crimes.
She argued, moreover, that she was not
insane. She said she knew she was doing
wrong when s"he administered poison to
her victims and she asked Judge Blxby
,howf under such circumstances, shcr
could dq. or unsound mina. Morpnme was
Miss Toppan's agency for producing
death. Many of the victims were unsus
pecting and most intimate friends, others
were the patients of reputable physicians
who employed her on account of her
ability as" a nurse. Miss Toppan was so
expert in her knowledge of drugs that she
was able to escape detection for years.
She did not enumerate her many victims,
although she did admit the killing of Mrs.
Glbbs, Mrs. Harry Gordon, of Chlcago.and
Alien P. Davis, all of whom died at
Calumet last Summer.
Miss Toppan was indicted last Septem
ber for these three murders, the state
electing to try her on the Glbbs count.
Miss Toppan was taken to Taunton Hos
pital today to begin her life-sentence.

State of Affairs.
WASHINGTON, June 24. The State
Pcpartment today received a cablegram
from United States- Minister Bowenat
Caracas. The officials declined to make
public the text of the dispatch, but it Is
understood that it reports a critical state
of affairs arising from the present revo
lutionary movement against President
Castro, which is generally recognized as
the strongest yet known there.
Filipino Greets. Mr. McKinley.
CANTON, O.. June 2i.Mr. McKinley
has received from Felipe Buencamlno.
cx-member of Agulnaldo's Cabinet,
and now a leader of the Federal'party In
the Philippines, the greetings and me
morial of that party, which he was com
missioned personally to carry to her. The
address contained reference to the distress
which the Federal party of the Philip
pines felt at the assassination of President
McKinley. Mrs. McKinley was assured of
the love of. 6.000,000 Filipino Christians.
With Judge Day. General Buencamlno
visited West Lawn cemetery. The visit
ors were admitted to the vault in which
rest the remains ot the late President,
and General Buencamlno. as he looked
upon the casket, wepU They also visited
the slto on which It Is proposed to erect

Washington, said he would remain at the
capital until after the vote on tho Philip
pine bill, when he will go to New York
to .work In behalf of a plan to colonize
the" Philippines with people from some of
the crowded districts of the United States.
Report on Montana Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, June 24. The census
report on agriculture In Montana, Issued
today, shows that 13,370 farms were"
tnuemcrated there on June T, 1S0O, valued
enumerated there on Juno L 1M0. valued
at $62,026,050. Of this amount, 5 per cent
Represents the value of land and all Im
provements other than buildings. The
value of farm. Implements and machinery
was $3,671,800, and livestock J52.161.S33. The
total value of farm property was $11,S39,
S23. The total value of farm products for
1E93 was $28,816,357, of which C3 per cent
represents animal products and 37 per cent
value of crops, including products cut or
produced on farms. The total value of
farm products for 1699 was nearly five
times as great as for 1SS9. but a part of
this gain doubtless is due to a more de
tailed enumeration in 1900. The gross
farm income in 18S9 was $23,542,227.
Cuban Treaty "With England.
NEW YORK. June 24. At a meeting
of. the Planters Association Just held. It
was voted, says a" Tribune dispatch from
Havana, to petition President Palma to
make a trade treaty with Ensland. The
matter of commercial alliance with Cuba
already has been broached by Great Brit
ain, and in view of the failure of the
United States to pass a reciprocity meas
ure It Is gaining In supporters. Such a
treaty, however, can last only to Septem
ber 1, 1S03, because England Is pledged to
abide by tho ruling of the Brussels sugar
conference, 'which abolishes differential
duties after that date.

tics, issued today, shows an Increase In
the exports to nearly every division , of
Asia for the 10 months ending with April,
while to South . America th.ey show a
decrease In the exports to nearly every di
vision. To the Dutch East Indies the figures
show an Increase of from $1,491,142 Jin. the
10 months of 19G to $1,6SS;15 In 10 months
of the present hscal year; to HongvKong.
from $6,933,703 to- $7,353,270; to Japan, from
515,118,532 to $1S,5S1,250; and t6 China, from
$7,423,348. to $20,163,123. '
To China our exports for the full fiscal
ear ccem likely to exceed those of any
previous year except 1EO0, which was ex
ceptional, because of the large purchases
of cotton made in the United States in
that year for the Japanese market.. Our
exportsto China, which In 1S32 were 5663,
497, seem likely to be nearly or quite $25,
000,000 In 1902.
To Japan our exports In 1892 were $3,290,
111, and; in 1S02 seem likely to be $23,000,000,
To Hong Kong our exports during, 1893
were $4,894,049, and in 1902 seem likely to
be about $5,500,000. To the British East
Indies our exports In 1S92 were $3,C74,S07,
and in 1902 will bd about $5,000,000. To
the Dutch East Indies they were in 1S92
,$1,372,035. and in 1902 will be about $2,000.
000. To the Russian possessions in Asia
our exports In 1892 were $120,200, and those
of 1902 will considerably exceed $1,000,000.
To. all of- Asia our exports In 1892 were
-$19,550,250, and In 1902. they will aggregate
about $06,000,000.
To Oceanlca the actual growth in our
exports Is not so readily perceptible, be
cause of the fact that the figures of ex
ports tb Oceanlca no longer include jour
shipments to the Hawaiian Islands, which
are now considered as domestic trade with
domestic territory. Comparing 1S92 with
1902, however, there is a marked growth
in the shipments of all of those sections
of Oceanlca now Included In the state
ments of foreign commerce. To British
'Australasia our exports were. In 1S92, $11,
8S6.677, and In 1902 will be about $30,000,000.
To the Philippine Islands our exports
In 1892 were $60,914, and in 1902 will be
about $5,000,000. The total exports to
Oceanlca in 1892 were $15,572,767, and these
figures included $3,781,628 of shipments to
the Hawaiian Islands; in 1902 the total to
Oceanlca, exclusive of the Hawaiian Isl
ands, will be about $3S,000,0W). while to
the Hawaiian Islands alone the shipments
during the year, according to the best
"figures obtainable by the Bureau ot Sta
tistics, amount to about $20,000,000, making
our total exports to Oceanlca, including
the Hawaiian Island-., about $55.O0O-.0CO.
and n Asia and Oceanlca combined about
$120,000,000, as against $35,000,000 in 1892.

In several towns, including Lucban. Sam
rioln. Rarlola and Polesca. The province
was loyal to the insurrection during the
entire time prior to his surrender. The
witness several times received deputations
from Lucena, Tayabas. The people showed
their loyalty In always supplying the quo
ta required. After Major Gardener had
declared It to be the most pacified prov
ince, he (Cailles) took 800 insurgents to
Lucban, and. recruiting 4C0 more, went to
Sampola to superintend the shooting ot
five Influential residents who had been
guilty of crimes.
Lieutenant-Colonel Allen Smith, First
rrnx'jilrv tpsilnpd that while In command
of the troops In Tayabas, he never re
ceived a communication from Major Gard
ener with reference to the alleged abuses
of soldiers, toward natives.
Captain March B. Stewart, of the Eighth
Infantry., said that in August, 1901. the
Province of Tayabas was not pacified and

TAFTS XDGOTIATIOXS.
Sncccsit dt American Proposals on
.All Enmentlal Points.
ROME, June 24. There is no doubt of
the negotiations of Judgo Taft, Governor
of the Philippine Islands, with the Vati
can, regarding the disposition of tho fri
ars lands in those Islands, ending in the
success of the American proposals In all
essential points. Reports of serious
hitches are denied by those who are best
entitled to know.
Some diversity pf opinion regarding de
tails has developed. This is prolonging
the negotiations longer than was antici
pated, and the answer of the papal Sec
retary of State. Cardinal Rampolla, to
Judge Taft, is too general in form to sat
isfy the American Government, but it will
be straightened out. Judge Taft will pre
sent another note to Cardinal Rampolla,
precisely indicating the American wishes
and asking- for a categorical reply there
to. WASHINGTON, Juno 24.-Secretary
Root declines to discuss details of Gov
ernor Taft's negotiations with Rome until
they are completed. They are proceed
ing steadily and in the usual course,
each side seeking to make the best pos
sible bargain, with the result that there
have been several changes since the orig
inal proposal of Governor Taft touching
the friar lands. These are reported to
