PUTS B0YC0TT0N MACLAY
USB OP HIS HISTORY PROHIBITED
XX THE SAVAL AGADEMT,
Amendment to tlie Appropriation
Bill Key Wall Xor the Statlom
on Paget Sound.
WASHINGTON, May 17. The House
spent the day In discussing the naval ap
propriation bill and the most Important
feature of the discussion involved a re
vival of the Sampson-Schley controversy.
This arose over an amendment to the bill,
which was presented by Mudd (Rep. Idd.),
and was adopted, prohibiting the use of
Maclay's history in the Navy as a text
book at the Naval Academy. A number
of minor amendments to the bill -were
adopted, but the consideration of the
measure was- not completed before the
House adjourned.
Tlie Proceeding:.
In the absence of Speaker Henderson at
the Rosecrans exercises, Dalzell (Rep. Pa.)
acted as Speaker of the House. Con
sideration of the naval bill was resumed,
and the bill was read for amendment.
Fitzgerald (Dem. N. T.) offered an
amendment appropriating $200,000 for bar
racks for enlisted men. He said the Co
lumbia Is wholly unfit for service, ac
cording to expert testimony, and that aea
men were running great risks in being
housed in this ship. The amendment went
over on a point of order.
Cannon (Rep. 111.) made a point of or
der against an Item appropriating $100,
000 for the purchase of land adjacent to
the Washington navy-yard, but the chair
overruled the point.
Jones (Rep. Wash.) offered an amend
ment of jeo.000 for a key wall at the naval
station, Puget Sound, Wash. Cannon re
marked that there were entirely too many
of them. It was necessary to divide a
little money among too many chickens.
And all this was because of the fact that
too many members are Interested In exist
ing stations. Fo concurred In the last
remark, saying he would like to see many
yards, and stations discontinued, but aa
this was Impossible, in view of local in
terests. It behooved Congress to ao me
best it could under the circumstances In
the Interest of frugality and good serv
ice. Gaines (Dem. Tenn.) suggested that if
the appropriations were to be reduced it
would be well to begin by cutting down
the appropriations for the insular posses
sions of the United States.
Wheeler (Dem. Ky.) declared that those
items in the bill had nothing to do with
the foreign policy of the "United States.
"Will the gentleman tell me what is the
fore'.gn policy of our Government?" asked
Galnrs.
"Nobody but God Almighty and a few
Republican leaders know," responded
Wheeler.
The Jones amendment then was agreed
to.
In connection with the provisions mak
ing appropriations for new buildings at
the Naval Academy, Cannon made In
quiry concerning the report that a chapel
was to be built at a cost of $100,000. Fobs
replied that while it was the purpose ul
timately to build a general assembly hall
or auditorium, there ip no purpose of at
tempting that Improvement under the
present appropriation.
Cannon made a point of order against
the paragraph providing for a board to
locate a naval magazine between Boston
and Portsmouth on the New England
coast. The point was sustained by the
chair, and the paragraph went out.
Cooper (Dem. Tex.) offered an amend
ment appropriating $20,003 for making
tests of liculd fuel from the California
and Texas oil fields under the direction
of the Bureau of Steam Engineering.
Cooper stated that these tests were rec.
ommended by Admiral Melville. Chief of
the Bureau of Steam Engineering of- the
Navy Department, and by the Secretary
of the Navy. The amendment was ac
cepted. On a point of order made by Cannon,
the appropriation of $200,000 for the com
mencement of an experiment station and
testing laboratory at Annapolis in the
Department of Marine Engineering and
Naval Construction, was shut out by
Chairman Sherman.
The Xa-ral Feud.
Mudd (Rep. Md.), at this point, offered
his amendment to exclude from the Naval
Academy and from ships and Government
libraries, the history of Edgar Stanton
Maclay. Dayton made a point of order
against the amendment, and the chair
sustained the point.
Mudd then offered a substitute' amend
ment providing that no part of the money
appropriated in the paragraph under con
sideration shall be expended In the pur
chase of any history of the Amerlcan
Spanteh War written by Edgar ""Stanton
Maclay for use at the Naval Academy, in
ships, libraries or In any part of the naval
establishment of the "United States.
Dayton (Rep. Va.) made the usual point
of order against the substitute amend
m?nt, but the chair held that the amend
ment was germane.
Mudd having succeeded In getting this
matter b;fore the House, said that the
President of the United States had stated J
to him that this work should never be
used. In Tcply to a question of Dayton,
who asked why he wanted to put the
amendment on the bill in view of the fact
that the President would hold over the
next fiecal year, Mudd said that while
Roosevelt was a very lively force at this
time and promised to live out this term
and be ready to take another, he wanted
to guard against any contingencies.
Pearre (Rtp. Md.) eaid he wanted to
join his colleague in his unqualified ad
miration for that splendid American and
magnificent sea fighter. Admiral Wlnfield
Scott Schley. Admiral Schley, he -said,
had borne with fine patience the on
slaughts of his defamers, and with It all
stood before the country as the real hero
of Santiago. The wounds In. the hull of
the gallant Brooklyn testified which ves
sel had borne the brunt of the fight.
Tote (Rep. 111.) remarked that he had
supposed the Sampson-Schley controversy
was dead, which raised a laugh on the
Democratic eide. He said the controversy
ought to have been closed when the court
of inquiry made its findings, and when
the President of the United States re
viewed these findings. He said he was
glad that Schley was at Santiago; that
Clark had brought the Oregon around
the Horn; that Walnwrlght was there, a
man who never felt that he was too near
the enemy, but above all, he was glad
that the man unhonored and unsung, the
man behind the guns, was there. "The
honor of the Santiago campaign la large
enough for all," said Mr. Foes. "In this
controversy. I have never been for either
Admiral Sampson or Admiral Schley. The
American Navy will live long after the
Sampsons and Schleys are gone. When
the smcke of battle dies away, when the
tramp of men Is gone, the recordtng an
gel will record the names of the men
who took part in the Santiago campaign."
Williams (Dem. MistO Interjected a
great deal of humor into the debate by
stating that he understood he had made
a mistake In the pronunciation of the
name of Crownlnshleld. that he had mis
pronounced the proper name of an Im
proper person. That, as Cholraondelay
was In England pronounced Chumley, he
understood that Crownlnshleld should be
pronounced Crunchen. He-.sajd It was a
shame and a disgrace in a. great country
that a man who made the brilliant xecord
that Schley had, should have been writ
ten down by a Government employe.
Dayton, In supporting the point of or
der made against the amendment J of
Mudd, eald he believed that to walrun
til the testimony was published, was the
wisest thing.
Williams retorted by saying he wanted
the Speaker to appoint a committee of
investigation to ascertain Just what is
true of the Sampson-Schley controversy.
Schlrm (Rep. Md.), in making his maid
en effort before the House, eald that the
unfortunate controversy between Samp
son and Schley had not been forced by
jtbe fdends of Admiral Schley; that the
truth' had been perverted by Maclay; He
had attempted to besmirch the record of
one of the most illustrious naval officers
of his time. Schlrm characterized the
act of Maclay as "dastardly," and he
wanted the House to stand by the Presi
dent, who had publicly announced that
Maclay's history should fitid no place In
the curriculum of the Naval Academy or
In ships' libraries.
Cannon remarked that he did not be
lieve that anybody in the House or the
country believed that Schley waB a cow
ard. Ha said he did not bsllcve anybody -In
the House or country believed -that
Maclay was telling the truth when he
wrote about Schley as he did. He thought
however, an Maclay had been kicked out
of the service, It came with rather bad
grace to attach the amendment to the bill
when its adoption ,could not change the
judgment of mankind B3 to Schley's
standing.
The amendment was adopted without a
dissenting vote. At 5 o'clock the House,
without finishing the bill, adjourned.
Canons on Financial Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Chalrman
Fowler, of the banking and currency com
mittee of the House, says that the peti
tions that have been In circulation call
ing upon Chairman Cannon, of the Repub
lican caucus, to issue a call for a confer
ence on the Fowler financial and cur
rency bill for Tuesday evening at S
o'clock, have been signed by more than
enough members to insure the caucus. Mr.
Fowler stated that he had been requested
by members to take up the measure and
explain its provisions, after which ques
tions will be invited and a general discus
sion had.
HE WILL STOP IT.
President's Course Toward Barbari
ties in Army 2k Determined.
BOSTON, May 17.A letter from Presi
dent Roosevelt, dated May 9, in which
he declares his determination to discover
and punish ecry instance of barbarity by
United States troops in the Philippines,
has been made public by Bishop William
Lawrence, of the Episcopal diocese of
Massachusetts. It was written in reply
to a communication from the Bishop sent
by direction of the convention of the dio
cese to place before the President resolu
tions condemning the alleged cruelties
and expressing confidence in the adminis
tration. The letter follows:
"I have received your letter and the
resolutions of the convention of the Prot
estant Episcopal church in the diocese
of Massachusetts. Permit me to thank
you, and through you the convention, for
what has been dono by you. I hope it is
unnecessary to say that no one in the
country can be more anxious than I am
save perhaps Secretary Root to discover
and punish every instance of barbarity by
our troops in the Philippines. In refer
ence to these cruelties, I agree with
every word in your nddress. No provoca
tion, liowever great, can be accepted as
an excuse for the misuse- of the neces
sary oeverlty of war, and above nil, for
torture of any kind or shape. Long be
fore any statements had been made pub
lic, and before uny action had been taken
by Congrcos, the War Department had
ordered a rigid Investigation of certain
of th6 charges, Including the charges of
Major Gardener, the orders of investiga
tion as regards these particular charges
having gone out over three months ago.
The investigation will be of tho most
thorough and sweeping character, and, If
necessary, will be made by the civil as
well as the military representative of the
government In the Islands. I have di
rected that the court-martials be held
under conditions which will give me the
right of review."
WESTERN UNION OUSTED
Pennsylvania to Turn Is Lines Over
to Postal Telegraph.
NEW TORK, May 17. The Evening
Post says that the rumor is repeated this
morning with some show of authority
that the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has been given notice to vacate the
llns and offices along the Pennsylvania
Company's system, and that the Postal
Telegraph Company will assume the
Western Union contract. According to
the Post, this action has been threat

The officials of both the Western Union
and the Postal companies decline abso
lutely to discuss the reported change. Mr.

dress. General Henderson spoke of fight
ing with General Rosecrans at the battle
of Corinth, and said that he was the
most fearless officer he had ever known.
His fcarlera, heroic dash had been the
death knell of the armies of -Erjce ana
Van Dorn,. and at the battle of Chicka
mauga his personal efforts had saved the
day.
"No more fearless man," added General
Henderson, "ever faced death than this
dear man who sleeps in our midst this
morning. General Rosecrans, you sleep
peacefully in the bosom of the country
you fought heroically to save. You have
earned a rest in her -bosom, but General
Rosecrans, no single grave can hold you,
for you will be buried in the hearts of all
the soldiers who fought under your com.
mand and in the hearts of an apprecia
tive, grateful, loving country."
At the conclusion of Speaker Hender
son's remarks the quartet choir of St.
Patrick's Cathedral sang, "Lead, Kindly
Light," after which brief addresses were
made by President Roosevelt, Senator
Foraker and .Representatives Hepburn,
Grosvenor and Gardner. The President
said:
"Mr. Speaker, and you, the comrades of
the great chief whose burial in the Na
tional Cemetery here at Arlington we
have met together to commemorate: The
Speaker in his address han well said that
the builder, rather khan the destroyer, is
the man most entitled to honor amongst
us; that the man who builds up is great
er than he who tears down, and that our
honor must be In a fighting man, who not
only fought worthily, but fought In 'a
worthy cause. And, therefore, for all
time the people, not only of this reunited
country, but the nations of mankind who
see the hope for ordered liberty in what
this country has done they will forever
hold you, the men of the .great Civil War
and the leadeis like him whose immortal
remains are to be put today in their final
resting place, in a peculiar honor, be
cause you were soldiers who fought to
build; you were upbullders; you were the
men to whose lot it fell to save to per
petuity, to make strong the National fa
bric, the foundations of which had been
laid by the men who fought under the
man whose home at Mount Vernon stands
as an equally prized memory of the past
with Arlington. It is no chance that has
made Mount Vernon and Arlington here
fn the neighborhood of Washington the
two great memorials of a Nation's past,
because one commemorates the founding
and the other the saving of the Nation.
If it were not for what Arlington sym
bolizes. Mount Vernon would be little or
nothing; If it were not for what was done
by Rosecrans and his fellows; if it were
not for what they did. then the work of
"Washington would have crumbled into
blooded chaos, and the deeds of the
founders of this Republic would be re
membered only because they had been
another of the many failures of the spirit
of liberty in thh. country. Without the
work that you did the work of the men
who fought to-a successful close the Rev
olution would have meant nothing. To
you It was given to do the great work,
which If left undone 'would have meant
that all else done by our people would
have counted for nothing. And now tho
reunion is so complete that it is useless to
allude to the fact that it is complete.
(Applause.) v
"You left us another lesson in brother
hood. Today 'come here comrades of the
Army of the Cumberland, the man who
had command, the men who fought In the
ranks, brothers because each did what
there was in hrm t do for tho right, each
did what he could, and all alike share
equally In the glory of the deed that was
done. Odiccr and enlisted man stand at
the bar of history to be judged, Tiot by
the difference in rank, but by whether
they did their duty to their respective
ranks (applause). And of how little ac
count, looking back, the difference of
rank Is, compared with the doing of the
duty! And what was true then is true
now. Doing the duty well is what counts.
"In any audience of this" kind, one sees
in the highest official and social posi
tions men who fought as enlisted men in
tho armies of tho Union, in the armies
of the Confederacy, and all we ask is,
Did they prove their truth by their en
deavor? It they did, honor to then, and
little else and little we care the particu
lar position which they held, save in so far
as the holding of exalted position gave
the man a chance to do great and pecu
liar service I should not try to eulogize
the dead General in the presence of his
comrades, in the presence of his fellow
mon, who have coma to honor the mem
ory of the man against whom they were
pitted in the past, and who coir.e here be
cause they now. like us, are Americans,
and nothing else, devoted to the Union
and ta one country, (applause). I should
not try to speak of his services in the
presence of those who fought through the
Civil War, who risked the -loss of life,
who endured the loss, of limb, who fought
as enlisted men, who came out boys not
yet ready to enter college, but able to
bear commissions in the Army of the
United States, as a result of four years'
service, or three years service with the
colors.
"There are those of each class of -whom
I have spoken, who have addressed, or
will afldress, you today. They ar en
titled to speak as comrades of the great
dead. We, the younger of us, are entitled
to pay to the great dead the homage of
those to whom ordered liberty has been
handed downas a heritage because of the
blood and the sweat and toil of the men
who fought to a finish the great Civil War.
You taught us in war. Great have been
the lessons you have taught us in peace
since the war. Reverently and humbly,
the men who came after you hastened to
acknowledge the debt that Is owing to
you. You were the men of tho mighty
days, -who showed yourselves equal to the
day. We have today lesser tasks, but
shame to us If wo flinch from doing or
fall to do well tho lesser tasks where
you carried to triumphant victory a feat
as difficult as that which was set you.
And here, in the presence of one of the
illustrious dead, whose name will remain
forevermore on the honor roll of the
greatest Republic on which the sun has
ever shone; here in that presence it be
hooves all cf us, young and old, solemn
ly and reverently to pledge Ourselves to
continue undlmmed the traditions you left
us.
"To do the work necesssary, whatever
that work may be; to make good the
work that you did; to acknowledge the
inspiration of your careers In war and In
peace, and to remind ourselves, once for
all, that lip loyalty is not the loyalty that
counts; that loyalty that counts is the
loyalty that shows Itself in deeds, rath
er thnn In words, and, therefore, we
pledge ourselves to make good by our
lives what you risked your.llves to gain,
that of a Nation as a whole." (Great ap
plause.) The services at the pavilion over, the
cortege moved slowly to the grave, where
the commitment service was read by Dr.
Stafford, closing with "Nearer, My God,
to Thee" by the quartet. Taps were
sounded, followed by a salvo of artillery,
and the last sad rites over the distin
guished eoldicr had been performed.
REVOKED BY WOOD.
Order Giving: Judges at Cuba Ten
are for Life.
HAVANA, May 17. The Order issued a
month ago, giving the Judges of the isl
and life tenure and making them remov
able for cause only, was revoked by Gen
eral Wood today.
None of the Havana papers today com
ment on the composition of President
elect Palma's Cabinet. This does not
mean disapproval. It can be said, how
ever, that the selections have made a good
impression, especially among the better
class of Cubans and the Spanish element.
The men who did the fighting, known as
the mliltaires, are somewhat disgruntled.
Not a single active soldier Is recognized.
General Gomez himself Is understood to
share this feeling.
United States Senators Jones and Money,
ex-Senator Thurston and Representative
De Armond arrived here todny, to be pres
ent at the inauguration of President
Palma.
Governor-General Wood has Issued an
Important order making all orders oper
ative only during the military occupation
of the island. Thl3 action places those
orders upon the same footing as the gen
eral orders of the Cuban Government ac
cepted by the adoption of the Piatt amend
ment. More Important still, an order has
been Issued plating In force all the Immi
gration, exclusion and contract labor laws
of the United States. The laws have been
practically In force. General Wood 6ays,
since the American occupation began. By
this order these laws are not only in
corporated In the laws of the Island, Im
posing responsibility for their observance
upon the new government, but clear sail
ing is left for the negotiation of a reci
procity treaty.
Beginning with the pardon of two Cu
bans, who were to have been garrotted
Friday, Governor-General Wood has Is
sued many pardons to minor offenders.
General Wood wishes the end of Ameri
can rule in the island to be signalized by
acts of clemency.
Secretary of War Root's order to amend
the law of criminal procedure, so as to
permit the Supremo Court of this Island
to review all questions of fact, law and
procedure and award a new trial or dis
miss proceedings, reached Havana today.
The order applies particularly to the case
of Estes G. Rathbone. Governor-General
Wood immediately summoned tho Supreme
Court, explained his instruction's, and pro
mulgated the order. Senor Lanuza, Rath
bone's attorney. Immediately filed a pe
tition for a new trial with the Supreme
Court, under the amended rules of pro
cedure. Rathbone and his counsel are
overjoyed at what they consider an 11th
hour victory., Rathbone insists that he
seeks vindication, and would not accept
a pardon from cither the American or the:
Cuban Government.

BoHscts for Bremerton.
WASHINGTON, May 17. Chairman
Cannon, of the House committee on ap
propriations, went out of his way today,
during the debate on the naval appro
Driatlon bill, to throw a few bou
quets at the Puget Sound Navy-yard.
Chairman Foss had stated that the ap
propriation. In the present bill would about
complete the Puget Sound yard, which
was destined to become the greatest
navy-yard of the Pacific Coast, and had
shown that In the future, as work In
creases, It will be necessary to extend
the yard In proportion.
"It seems to me," chimed in Cannon,
"Jhat God Almighty made this location
for a navy-yard. It is an admirable loca
tion and I wish I could say that of all
navy-yards on the Pacific Coast. I want
also to compliment the department on tho
improvements that hive been made at
Bremerton. There has been no wasteful
expenditure made there. One of the three
great navy-yards in this country ought
to bo from an economic standpoint on
Puget Sound, and I want to compliment
the expenditure there. God gave the water
there, and you don't hive to spend half a
million a year to get up to it at high
tide. I wish I could say that of all navy
yards. I am not abusing anybody, but I
think Puget Sound navy-yard ought to be
pushed as fast as the estimates are made
for it."
Trouble Expected nt Bocae.
WASHINGTON, May 17. The Navy De
partment today was informed of the de
parture of the gunboat Machlas from Co
lon for Bocas del Toro, where advices to
the State Department Indicate another
clash' Is imminent between the liberal
hand government forces.

District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent
letter says: -
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
Gentlemen: "I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored
health has meant so much to me that I feel for the sake of other suffering women it Is my duty to tell what
Peruna has done for me.
"I suffered for five years with uterine Irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical
wreck. I tried doctors from different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change In my con
dition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results If I
would persist and take it regularly. I thought this was the least I could do and procured a bottle. I knew
as soon as I began taking It that It was affecting me differently from anything I had used before, and so I
kept on taking it. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had
used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman today."

FEMALE WEAKNESS IS
PELVIC CATARRH.
Always Half Sick Are the
Women Who Have Pelvic
Catarrh.
Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to
progress, will aftect the whole body. Ca
tarrh without nervousness is very rare,
but pelvic catarrh and nervousness go
hand In hand.
What is so distressing a sight as a poor
half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from
the many almost unbearable symptoms of
pelvic catarrh? She does not consider
herself 111 enough' to go to bed, but she Is
far from being able to do .her work with
out the greatest exhaustion. This I a
very common sight, and is almost always
duo to polvic catarrh.
It is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It
cures old chronic cases as well as a slight
UPHUES WILL EXECUTE IT
STATUE OF FREDERICK THE
GREAT FOR WASHINGTON.
The Kaiser or the Crown Prince
Frederick William May Be Prev
ent at the UnvelllBjr.
BERLIN, May 17. Emperor William's
court marshal has telegraphed to tho
correspondent of the Associated Press here
as follows:
"The statue of Frederick the Great will
be executed by His Majesty's command
by Professor Uphues, after a bronze stat
ue standing in the park grounds at Pots
dam." Professor Uphues is one of the most
noted sculptors of Germany. He carved
the statue of Frederick the Great in
marble in the Sneges Allen. The expec
tation is that when the statue Is unveiled
at Washington a member of the Hohen
zollerns will be present, probably the
Crown Prince Frederick William. It Is
possible that Emperor William himself
may be present. Many members of the
Imperial suite learned of Emperor Will
iam's purpose only when the cable cor
respondence with President Roosevelt was
published.
CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Question of Paynlcnt Complicated by
the Fall in Silver.
PEKIN, May 17. An important ques
tion has arisen between China and the
powers Interested concerning the payment
of the Chinese Indemnity. China claims
that the protocol stipulates that payment
should be made of 450,000,000 taels in sil
ver, regardless of the rate of exchange.
Tho construction put upon the protocol
by the. foreign Ministers Is that China
shall pay In gold or in silver the equiva
lent of gold at the time of payment. The
steady fall in silver since tho protocol
was signed has Imposed great hardship
upon China. Sir Ernest Satow, the Brit-
Iish Minister, recently consented to a pro
visional division of the installments al

duction. In the meantime, United States
Minister Conger had received Instructions
to reduce the claim of the United States
by $1,000,000, which complicates the ques
tion, and-it is thought that the United
States, In view of Great Britain's com
promise, wllL withdraw the offer of a re
duction. Tho Dowager Empress his Issued an
edict censuring Yuan Shal Kal. Director
General of the Pekln-Shan Hal Kwan
Railway, and Director of Railways Hu
Yu Fen, for signing the railroad agree
ment, and ordering the Eoird of Punish
ment to prescribe suitable penalties for
the offense. Officials say the Russian
representations that gave the British con
trol of the railway at the expense of
China's Interests caused the edict. The
prestige of Yuan Shai Kai and Hu Yu
Fen Is likely to be seriously affected.
Among the Chinese it Is believed that
Great Britain will consent to modify the
first railway agreement by waiving the
provision for military directors.
