OF THE WATER CURE
Ex-Judge Advocate of Phil
ippines Commends It.
ONLY ABUSED BY QVERZETLOUS
Circumstances of Waller's March
aud Jloiv Natives Came to Be lix- .
ccuted Regret at General Ja
cob Sinltli'a lluiuiliution.
BAN FRANCISCO, July 20. Colonel
Stephen W. Groesbeck, ex-Judge Advo
cate of the Division of the Philippines,
has arrived here from Manila en route
to Chicago, where he will take station
as Judge Advocate of the Department of
tho Lakes. Colonel Groesbeck was' the
chief of reviewing authority in the trials
of Major Waller and General Jacob H.
Smith, both of whom were court-martialed
for methods used In the Samar
campaign. Dtecusslng the Waller trial.
Colonel Croefibeck characterized Major
Waller as a tactician; not a leader. In
reviewing that case, he said:
"I could only give a qualified approval
of the findings of the court, because I
believed him responsible largely for tho
conditions that caused hjs men to com
mit the offences charged. An attempt
was made to lead a detachment of his
command, consisting of four ofilcers,
54 enlisted men and 33 'Cargadores' from
east to west across the Island of Samar,
in search of the enemy, and when midway
of his course he found himself In the
heart of an uninhabited, mountainous
section, without rations and without
medical attendance. The march had
been begun without proper provision be
ing made. The men's shoes had worn
away, their clothing hung In tatters,
many were stricken with fever, their
feet bruised and bleeding, their bodies
lacerated by thorns and, adding to their
wretchedness, the leeches, which abound,
attacked and greatly aggravated their
exposed wounds. To the cry for food, the
'Cargadores,' it Is alleged, did not effi
ciently respond, and the yusplcion arose
In the minds of the starving men that
the 'Cargadores were conniving at their
destruction. For this they were placed
under guard and all of those from whem
a cry of retaliation came were -executed."
Referring to tho famous "kill and
burn" order, alleged to have 'been Issued
by General Smith, Colonel Groesbeck
said: ..
"No such order was ever issued by
Smith, but he Is an lmpetupiis and erratic
man and, when going over the ground at
Balangiga, after the massacre of an en
tire company of the Ninth Infantry, he
remarked to Waller that they would
be justified in killing and burning as
they went."
He did not think that Waller or any
of the officers of his command should
be held accountable for the lives de
stroyed, but he believed that had more
careful provision been made wlin the
fatal march was begun, it would not
have ended with such fatal disaster. Ke
spoke of General Smith as a fine offlcer
and expressed regret at the humiliation
attached to the recent -order for his
retirement.
Colonel Groesbeck believes In the water
cure, and said that in all the complaints
caused by this method of forcing the
Insurgents to give information as to
where arms were hidden, etc it had
been used only by .young officers, ovcr
zcalous and Inexperienced In their work.
"I believe," said Jie, "the water 'cure, as
practiced by the Americans In the Phil
ippines to be the most humane method
of obtaining Information from criminals
of war that Is known to modern war
fare." On the Philippine question in general,
Colonel Groesbeck said:
"We are there tb -slay- The price that
has been paid for thcT inlands demands
that we hold them, but to civilize and
establish a government that can ulti
mately be given Into the keeping of the
natives is a task beyond the -comprehension
of those unacquainted with the
treachery that has been instilled Into tho
people by their former rulers. The up
lifted bolo is the only law that they
have feared for age3 and strenuous means
must be taken to eradicate such Ideas."
TANTAMOUNT TO REJECTION.
French Comment on Negotiations
Between Tuft and the Pope.
PARIS, July 20. The Temps, comment
ing upon the negotiations between William
H. Taft, Governor of the Philippine Is
lands, and the Vatican, says:
"Notwithstanding the courteous lan
guage used by both sides, the Vatican's
reply to Governor Taft's last note is tan
tamount to a rejection of the American
offers, which amounted to nothing less
than the conclusion of an indirect con
cordat with the United States. The sig
nature of such a convention would have
given the Apostolic Delegate in Washing
ton a sort of diplomatic exequatur, per
mitting him to confer directly with Pres
ident Roosevelt or the Government with
out the Intermediary of an American citi
zen, such as Archbishop Ireland. The Vat
ican in refusing to lend a hand In the
gradual expulsion of the congregations
from the Philippines, has at the same
time stifled the germ of an American con
cordat which would have been a triumph
for the policy the pope has seemed so
ardently to pursue since his advent."
LONDON, July 20. The Rome corre
spondent of the Morning Post, detailing
the negotiations between Judge Taft and
the Vatican, contends that the American
authorities can unquestionably expel the
friars from the Philippines without vio
lating tho treaty of Parte. What the Vat
ican gained by its obstinacy, says the cor
respondent. Is not clear, but it certainly
will have lost about 1.000,000.

Bulacan and Rizal, to take part in t;he
movement in Cavlte, has produced con
siderable activity northeast of Manila,
where the municipal police are watching

Frank de la Vergne, Rochester, conduc
tor, scalp wound, mind badly affected.-
The Incoming train, which consisted of
a combination smoker and baggage-car
and two day coaches, was due In this city
at 6:30 o'clock, but was a few minutes late.
The outgoing train, consisting of a combi
nation smoker and baggage-car and one
day coach. left promptly on time at 6:30
o'clock. The two trains came together
with terrific force on a straight line of
track one-half mile south of Clarissa
street bridge, near Hope Hospital. Just
before the crash came the crew of each
engine, with the exception of Fireman
Putnam, of the Incoming train. Jumped
and escaped with slight Injuries. Putnam
was caught In the wreckage of hls.engine
and horribly mangled, death resulting in
stantly. On the east side of the track at the
scene of the wreck Is the Erie Canal
feeder, whllo on the west side is' the Gen
esee River. The force of the collision was
so great that both engines rebounded 50
feet. The engine of the incoming train
was thrown to the west on Its side and
reduced to scrap Iron. The combination
smoker and baggage-car following Jumped
the track to the east side", slipped by the
engine, turned on its side and fell with
a Crash Into the canal feeder. The day
coach following' the combination also
Jumped to. the eastward and burled its
forward end In the feeder. The remain
ing coach of the Incoming train remained
on the roadbed.
From the combination car and day coach,
which went into tho feeder, all of the In
jured were taken. The uninjured passen
gers Immediately rushed to the rescue, but
they were handicapped by the Inrush of
water, which in tho briefest space had
almost filled the cars. Most of the In
jured, bruised and bleeding, and crying
plteously for assistance, were found float
ing abont In the water Inside of the
wrecked cars. With much difficulty they
were pulled through the windows of tho
overturned car or dragged through holes
In the coach caused by tho wreck. It Is
miraculous that many were not drowned.
It is believed that all were safely landed.
The engine of the gouth-bound train
was thrown to the west, and lies on it3
side, a complete wfrcck on the river bank.
No one was injured on the south-bound
train except Conductor Frank de la
Vergne, who has an ugly scalp wound.
It Is admitted by the crew of the in
coming train that they had received or
ders to meet tho outgoing train at Mount
Hope siding, which is a short distance
south of the scene of the wreck. They

TORNADO IN BALTIMORE.
Eleven Persons Lost Their Lives,
Hundreds of Houses Unroofed.
BALTIMORE, July 20. A fierce tornado,
accompanied by thunder, vivid lightning
and a heavy rain, burst upon Baltimore
at 1:30 P. M. today, coming from the
southwest, with tho net result that H
persons lost their lives, hundreds of
houses wero unroofed, trees in the public
parks and streets were torn up by the
roots, many buildings were damaged and
several people injured. The storm ex
hausted its fury In less than 15 minutes.
The damage done In tho business part of
the city was comparatively slight, being
confined to the blowing down of signs
and lnjurres to roofs. It was in the resi
dence portions along the river front and
in tho harbor where tho wind spent Its
violence.
Of those who perished, nine were
drowned in the harbor from open boat3,
one was killed by a falling tree and one
by a live wire. Tho following is a list of
tho killed:
Drowned In the harbor:

of the torm. Michael Schuler with hi?
wife and three children, accompanied by
his brother-in-law, Joseph Cooper and his
wife, had gone out in the harbor for a
sail in a 20-foot boat. When the storm
came Schuler and Cooper took In sails.
Schuler sent his wife and children Into
the little cabin and he stood at the tiller
to keep the vessel's head toward the wind.
A sudden gust of wind threw the boom
of the vessel around, knocked Schuler
down and pinned him to the deck. An
other gust capsized the boat, releasing
Schuler, who, with Cooper and his wife,
wero thrown Into the water, leaving Mrs.
