GENERAL WILL BE ACQUITTED.
c
Impassioned Speech of His Counsel
In Closing Draws Tears From
" 'His Hearers.'
MANILA, May 3. The trial by court
jnartial of General Jacob H. Smith ended
today. The findings of the court will be
forwarded to Washington. The general
impression here Is that he will bo ac
quitted. The closing address of Colonel Charjes
A. "Woodruff, for the defense, was a re
markable oratorical effort, that drew tears
from his hearers. He dramatically sketched
General Smith's career, and declared he
had conducted a remarKable and success
ful campaign In a manner which reflected
credit on his valor, humanity and kind
ness. Speaking in Impassioned tones,
Colonel Woodruff said in olden times vic
torious generals tied captives to their
chariots. In this case, the General linds
himself tied. Sentiment is an. excellent
thing, but there Is no place for it in war.
"We claim," continued the Colonel,
"that the Samar campaign just brought
to a successful termination, while pushed
actively, vigorously and energetically, was
ever conducted "within the limits of war.
During the last few months It has seemed
popular to criticise the Army In the Phil
ippines. People seem to have forgotten
Its magnificent service for America's
honor and glory. We have been worthy
members- of the Army, whose bayonts
never Hashed except In defense of the law.
Yet today we are apparently disgraced.
Why? I cannoi imagine that people at
home expect to gain glory and political
advancement by abusing the Army. Jt
was tried after the Mexican War. It was
tried after the Civil War, with the result
that Grant, 'the butcher,' was elected
President, and dlefl loved and honored by
every American? While the campaigns
in the Philippines' have not been conducted
to meet the views of sentimentalists and
troublesome busybodies in the United
States, they have been conducted on lines
which have reflected credlt'upon the valor,
pluck, humanity and kindness of Ameri
can soldiers."
Colonel Woodruff reviewed the evidence
at length, shewing the necessity for mak
ing Samar a "howling wilderness," and
comparing the campaign in that island
with the "strenuous march to the sea,
whose route was marked by a cloud of
smoke by day and by a pillar of fire by
night." The Colonel cited instances of
military law in behalf of the defense, and
dramatically portrayed General Smith's
career.
"Now," continued Colonel Woodruff,
"after wearing for 41 years the uniform of
the United States with honor to himself
and to the benefit of the Government, at
the close of a remarkably successful cam
paign, in which he accomplished what
Spain was unable to do In 200 years, while
returning, as his friends thought, covered
with glory, he was halted and taken off a
transport to face charges growing out of
the language used In giving Instructions
for the conduct of a successful campaign.
The defense feels that the Government
has only done this in deference to over
whelming public sentiment, based on ru
mors fostered for ignoble and unknown
purposes until hysteria was produced.
Then this gray, wounded, victorious Gen
eral was exposed to the Indbmlty of a
trial. In deference to hysterical public
opinion."
Colonel Woodruff, concluding, said:
"General Smith faces the conscience
of the court and people with tho full
knowledge that he did his duty as an hon
orable commander."
The Judge-Advocate. MaJosSHarvey C.
Carbaugh. in closing for the prosecution,
declared the defense admitted everything
and that It only claimed justification. He
said General Smith's orders, given to Ma
jor Waller on the bloody battle-ground
of Balangiga, -were such as to cause men
to act ruthlessly In a spirit of revenge.

the men. to whom they had given the
water cure.
Senator Patterson asked a number of
questions Intended to develop the fact
as to whether native prisoners had been
Informed as to the character of the infor
mation sought, but did not elicit any
thing important from the witness. He
dd, however, succeed in causing Senator
Beverldge to make protest against his
method of inquiry, which brought on a
colloquy between the two Senators. Mr.
Beverldge declared that In a trial court
persistence in such questions as Mr. Pat
terson was putting "would render an at
torney liable to a fine for contempt of
court," to which Mr. Patterson replied
that "such interruptions as those of the
Senator from Indiana would not only Ten
der him liable to a fine for contempt, but
also be the cause of sending him to JalL"
To this exchange Mr. Burrows added,
jocularly, "to Jail, or subjected to the
water cure."
In reply to a question from Senator
Burrows, Mr. Hallock said he had seen
the bodies of four of the native prison
ers who had been shot by the soldiers
while trying to make their escape, but
that he had not seen the actual shooting.
The committee then went Into executive
session, and Senator Lodge laid beforo
it the cablecrram from General Chaffee
concerning Major Gardener, which wasT
later read In the Senate. The committee
decided not to request the appearance of
Major Gardener pending the Investigation
in the Philippines.

Transport's Boilers Are Bad.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. The Exam
iner says that the transport Grant will
not be able to make the trip to Manila
that she was scheduled for on tho 10th
of this month. The Grant's boilers have
failed to stand tho test to which they
were subjected by Inspector xf Boilers
John Bulger, and her hull Is so weak
that It will take a good many new plates
and a whole lot of general structure
strengthening before she will bo ready to
serve as a transport again.
Major Deval, In charge of the transport
service at this port, says that the Grant
can be placed in first-class condition and
that the department Is willing to pay not
more than $200,000. He attributes the con
dition of the vessel's boilers to the heavy
work required of them. The Grant has
been in commission since January, 1899,
and has met with no mishap, though she
has been laid off five times for repairs.
The department purposes curtailing the
transport fleet, and It has been decided
to lay off the Meade, Sherman, Hancock
and Warren:. The Egbert and Rosecrans
have been put up at auction already. This
will leave eight vessels plying between

OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS.
Information Secured From Natives
in Pnnny.
WASHINGTON. May 3. L. E. Hallock,
of Boston, formerly of he Twenty-sixth
Volunteer Infantry, testified today before
the Senate committee on the Philippines
concerning the practice of the -water cure
in the Philippine archipelago. Mr. Hal
lock told of me Infliction of the cure upon
a dozen natives at the town of Leon,
Province of Panay, August 21 and 23, 1900.
They v. ere captured and tortured in order
to secure Information of the murder of
Private O'Hearne. of Company I, who had
been not only killed, but roasted and
otherwise tortured before death ensued.
Captain Glenn, in charge of a scouting
party, had first secured a confession of
participation In this crime by one native,
who had Implicated 12 others. These were,
the witness said, taken to Leon, where
his company, under command of Captain
Gregg, was stationed, and there the cure
was administered.
"Who Inflicted the cure?"
"Members of Company I."
"Were they ordered to do so?"
"They were; by First Sergeant J. Man
ning, who is now in Boston."
Hallock added that he had witnessed
the torture, but had not participated in It.
While It was In progress, Captain Gregg
was at company headquarters, less than
100 yards distant.
"Did Captain Gregg know of the tor
ture?" asked Rawlins.
"All the command knew It, and I don't
see how he could have helped knowing
it."
Asked what became of the Philippine
prisoners to whom the cure was adminis
tered, he replied that they were placed
in a guardhouse 20 by 25 feet in size, in
which there was one window, and In
which there were at times 18 men con
fined. The 12 prisoners were kept for
four or fh'e months, dndthen they tried
to escape. Thatjeffort had been success
ion on tne part for some, -but five or six
fleeing prisoners were shot and killed.
One of them was killed while trying to
get away when the squad was taken to
the river for a bath, and the others when
out at work in a general rush for lib
erty. "Were all the prisoners who did not
escape killed?"
"I think so, with one exception; I think
one was given his freedom."
Mr. Hallock also stated that "he had
been present when a village of 3000 or
4000 had been burned, and that the oc
cupants of the houses had not had time
to carry out the furniture. He had known
of three or four other cases of such de
struction of property, but had not been
an eye-witness. ;
In reply to other quest Jons, Mr. Hallock
said the .report was current among the
soldiers that the administration of the
water cure was common when they de
sired to4 secure information from natives.
He also -said that during his entire service
In the ..Philippines he had known of the
killing of probably 200 or 300 natives,
mostly In battle, and of the killing of
probably 20 Americans.
Lodge brought out the details of the
murder of Private O'Hearne. The wit
ness said that In June, 1900, O'Hearne,
with two other members of the company,
had been sent to Ho Ilo for malh and
that on their return, June 30, they were
ambushed by 100 natives and O'Hearne's
companions were captured. O'Hearne
had made a dash to get away, and, after
escaping from the attacking party, had
fallen in with other natives supposed to
be friendly,, but that, instead of proving
to "be so,' they had devoted the entire
next day "to his torture and death, begin
ning 'at. daylight by cutting him with
bolos and then roasting him All day by
a slow -fire, not finishing until night.
All these details had, the witness said.

thereafter never let an opportunity escape
me to contribute my aid toward opening
the Columbia River to navigation. With
the opening of this greatest river of the
Pacific, not only would the value of every

the production of cereals in that region

would be to retard arbitrarily the growth
