Washington, April 12.—When the
senate oommittee on Philippines met
today Senator Iznige, the chairman,
laid bef‘«re the committee the report of
Major Cornelius Gardener, civil gov- ‘
ernor of the Philippine province of j
Tayalms, to which referem-e was made J
by (ieneral Mile« in hi» correspondence !
with Secretary Root. Thi« repott had
lieen withhehi, an«l thia cauaml the
ad«iption of a rewdution at the last
meeting of the committee requesting
the »»-rotary of war to send the report,
to the committee. The report is dat«i >
December 16, 1901, an<i is largely a re
view of conditions in the province. In i
the course of the re,M>rt the governor '
says:
“A vigorous campaign was at once
organised against insurgent« in arm«,
with the troops acting under ,Mmitive
urijer» to »hoot no unarm»! native* and
to burn no house« exi-ept lierrackn.
I»»>ting was prohibited under the strict j
est penalties.
Company and other {
commaiiiier« were ordered to pay for
everything taken for nc iuwity or Isnight
from natives.”
The governor in detail tells alsiat
what ha« lieen done, an«i then recom
mends that the operation« against the
inHiirgents nhould lie by a force of na
tives. He has travele«! all over the
province, with no other esc >rt than na
tives. In mother reiommt-ndation, he
«a ya:
“As civil governor, I feel it my duty
to say that it i» my firm conviction
that the l'nite«l States tr«H>ps should at
the earliet op|iortiinity be concentrate«!
in one or two garrisons, if it is thought
desirable that the g«H»i sentiment and
loyalty that formerly existed toward»
the United States among the people of
this province should I m « conserved and
enconrag««!. Being in close touch with
the |H«qde, having vikited all the
pueblos one or more times, having liveil
with them in their homes, I know that
soch sentiment on« e existed.
“Of late, by reason of the conduct of
the troops, such as the extensive burn
ing "I th«- barrios in trying to lay waste
the country so that the insurgents can
not occupy it. the torturing of natives
by the eo-<-alli«l water cure, anil ottier

Washington, April 12.—The senate
«ommerce committee ha» dealt very lib
erally with the Upper Columbia river.
Senator Turner has ae»-ur»l the adop
tion of the Harts canal project for over
coming the obstruction at The Dalles
and Celiio, and, asi«i* from the trans
fer for immediate use of the remaining
*214,000, the bill authorize» the secre
tary ot war to enter into a contract for
prosecuting the work to the extent of
*400,000 additional, making an ex-
[«enditure of about *614,000.
The senate committee, unlike the
house, was readily convine»! that Cap
tain Harts' estimate 1» not too high,
and saya that the improvement ia one
of aucn importanc* that it should no
longer be delay««!. The amount carried
by the senate bill i» »uffi' ient to con
tinue the work until the next river and
harlsir bill is passed, ami if it is not
possible at this time to have the work
place«l under the continuing contract
system, it is probable this can l«e done
two years hence, when the work has
got well under way. There is reason
to lielieve that the eenate amemiment
will lie retained in the bill, although
it may lie necessary to make a slight
reduction in the exjH-nditure author
ised.
Senator Turner has secured an in
crease in the appropriation for the
Snake river to *40,000, of which
*25,000 is to lie ex|«ende«i above Lewis

MISS STONE IN NEW YORK.
Say» the Brigand» were Not Fierce, but were
Insulting.
New York, April 12.—Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the missionary, arrived today on
the Deutschland from Southampton.
Miss Stone said the brigands were not
so fierce as might have lieen imagined.
They said many insulting things, hut
never struck or lieat either her or her
companion, Mme. Tsilka.
“Several reports have lieen printed
which stated that Mme. Tsilka had
lieen held for ransom by our captors,”
said Miss Stone, “but it is a mistake.
I was the one they wanted, and they
always take a married lady to chaper
one a single one, no matter how old the
latter may tie.
Seven weeks before we were released
a babv was born to Mme. Tsilka. The
brigands had by this time become so
insulting anil cruel in their remarks
that it was becoming unbearable. The
appearance of the baby stop|«ed all this,
for the reason that the brigands of Tur
key believe that a curse will settle on
one of them if they do harm to a child
or its mother. Our treatment after the
birth of the babv was excellent. We
liegan to get better fis»!, although I
must admit that it wa« not very good,
and the sneering remarks «topped.”
Mis« Stone will goat once to Chelsea,
Mass., to see her mother, who is more
than 90 years old.
