DISCUSN OF
PHILIPPINES AFFAIR
It Revolves Around Order Alleged
to Have Been Issued bu
n General Smith.
THE DEBATE TAKES
A WIDE RANGE
Mr. Teller Criticises tho Republicans
for Not Participating in the Dis
cussionGeneral MacArtliur Dis
claims Any Responsibility for the
Orders of General Smith Omnibus
Bill Is Passed in the House.
By Inclusive Wire fiom The Aiaoclatcd Pre.".
Washington, April 29. The sennto
committee on the Philippines today
resumed examination of witnesses In
connection with the Investigation of
affairs in the Philippine islands. Oen.
Mat-Arthur continued his examination.
In reply to Senator Patterson's ques
tions, Gen, MacArtliur said that Gen.
Funston was not responsible In any
way for any of the methods which
obtained in the capture of Agulnaldo.
"t am responsible in that matter in
every way and particular," said Gen.
MacArtliur. "It was one of the decep
tions frequently practiced In war, and
whatever blame attaches thereto,
I take."
'When the Philippine bill waB laid be
fore the senate no one was prepared to
deliver ti set speech on It. Mr. Lodge
(Massachusetts), In charge of the meas
ure, said he felt compelled to press It
for consideration. His remarks drew
the flro of Mr. Teller (Colorado), who
criticized the Republicans for not par
ticipating in the discussion. This pre
cipitated the debate, and for more than
two hours it continued. Mr. Teller de
clared that General Smith, If he had
issued such an order as has been at
tributed to him, ought to be dismissed
from the service, as it was a disgrace
to the American army and to the
American people, Mr. Lodge said that,
while he knew little of the circum
stances surrounding the alleged order,
lie did not approve of cruel methods In
warfare, and every right minded person
must regret General Smith's order. To
him It was revolting. He defended the
administration, saying that as' soon as
knowledge had come to Washington,
the president had directed that Gen
eral Smith be court-martialed.
Before the committee today General
MacArtliur disclaimed any responsibil
ity for 'the orders of General Jacob H.
Smith to make Samar a howling wil
derness. Replying to a question by
Senator Beverldge, General Mat-Arthur
said that absolute chaos would result
should the Filipinos be given complete
independence und the United States
entirely withdraw from the islands, but
lie said he would like to explain this
statement at another session of the
committee. Ho was thereupon excused
until tomorrow. The committee went
Into executive session to further con
sider the advisability of summoning
witnesses asked for by the minority and
decided to postpone the taking of a
vote on the proposition until tomorrow
morning, at which time tho committee
also will pass upon tho question of the
advisability of sending a sub-committee
to the Philippines to continue the In
vestigation. Omnibus Bill Passed.
Under a special order, which allowed
three hours' debate but cut off all op
portunity of amendment, the house to
day passed an omnibus public building
bill, which will distribute $17,403,430
among 174 cities. The bill provides for
heventy-soven new buildings and sites,
Plx buildings on sites already purchased,
seventeen buildings on donated sites
and fifty-eight Increases in appropria
tions for buildings already authorized.
It lso provides for the ptuchuse of
sixteen sites. Tho majority for the bill
was so overwhelming that only nine
members backed a demand for the
ayes ami noes on tho passago of the
bill.
There was romo criticism of Hie inch
ed by which it was proposed to pass
the hill without opportunity for amend
v.'ent, which Mr. Mayer, chairman of
the committee, answered by stating
that If the bill had been subject to
nniondment tho appropriations carried
by It would have been Increased to
$00,000,000.
The consideration of tho agricultural
appropriation 1)111 was resumed but only
eight additional Items were disposed of,

THE TRIAL OF
GENERAL SMITH
Action of the American Chamber
of Commerce Other Manila
Topics.
By i:tiuslvc Wire from The Associat"d Picss.
Manila, April 2'X When the trial by
court martial of Gen. Jacob H. Smith,
was resumed today, Pedro Bela, a boy
"mascot" of company F, of the Ninth
infantry, commanded by Capt. Thomas
W. Connell, who was massacred by
the Samar natives at Balanglga, testi
fied that he saw Capt. Connell's death
wound given by a boy of 13. The wit
ness saw several other boys of the same
age among the natives who took part
In the massacre and thought he could
himself, use a bolo against a soldier.
Capt. Waldo P. Ayer, General Smith's
adjutant general, said he had been
closely In touch with all the movements
and knew General Smith's plans, pur
poses and feeling at every phase. He
added that on the general's arrival the
coast was deserted, and he saw the
same towns filled with people when he
left. But so far as the people of Samar
was concerned, he met only one man
worthy of respect who was sincere,
patriotic und honorable. He must ad
mit, however, that the man with this
qualification was born at Marinduque,
of Tagolog ancestry.
First Lieut. Vandeman, of the
Twenty-first Infantry, who had charge
of the military Information bureau,
described fiom the records, the treach
ery of the natives of Samar.
The Ameilcan chamber of commerce
has passed a resolution endorsing the
action of the United States army in the
Philippines in an endeavor to counter-
act what the members of the chamber I
believe to be the opinion prevailing In
the United States, that officers and
soldiers have acted In violation of tho
rules of war.
The preamble says tho chamber Is
composed exclusively of American busi
ness men who have been thrown Into
Immediate contact with the prevailing
conditions every wheie In tho archipel
ago and It was resolved that without
the constant watchfulness und protec
tion of the army In the Philippines no
property or business interests would bo
safe and that upon its Jnlluencc de
pends the stability of the civil govern
ment. The resolution eulogizes Gen.
Chaffee. "Whose earnest effort has
sustained and assisted the civil author
ities In the dllllcult task of the estab
lishment of civil government," and
praises "his good judgment and human
ity which havo won him the admira
tion and affection of all loyal Americans
In the Island,"

BAN JOHNSON WILL
APPEAL THE CASE
Not Satisfied with Restraining In
junctions Lajoie May Be Em
ployed as Umpire.
Itv Lulusite Wiie from The Associated Press,
' Baltimore, April 29, President Ban
Johnson, of the American League, was
in this city today. Speaking of the
Injunctions restraining Lajoie, Fraser
and Bernhnrd from playing with any
other than the Philadelphia National
League club, Mr. Johnson said:
"We have ample ground for ti new
appeal to the Supreme court, and, while
this Is pending, the injunction, issued
by tIie lowel L'ourt wln be raised. AVe
will give bond and the three players
concerned will be at liberty to play
with the Athletics. Should the decision
again be unfavorable to us we can take
Lajole's case to the United States court.
The cases of the other two men cannot
be taken there, because the amount In
olved is less than $2,000. Our attor
neys ore confluent, and 1 share their
confidence, that we will win out. Then
the only rediess the National League
v. Ill have Is In a civil suit for damages
against each player, before a jury."
Secretary Goldmun, of the Baltimore
American League club, who will repre
sent that club at the special meeting of
the American League in Clevelund to
morrow, will urgo the adoption of the
double umpire system, and the employ
ment of Lajoie, Fraser and Bernhard
us umpires. He believes that they can
be so employed without coming In con
flict with tho Injunction made by the
Pennsylvania court, and that this will
offer the best solution or tho dllllculty

IS ACCEPTED

ler Made for the Hold
ings of the City.
READY FOR MAYOR'S

The Intention Is to Make Baltimore
the Terminus of n Great Trans
Continental Line Controlled by the
Wabash, Which. Will Be a Great
Factor in the Soft Coal Business.
Processes by Which a Complete
Line Across the Continent Is to Be
Secured.
By Exclushe Wire from The Associated Preu.
Baltimore, April 29. The first branch
of the city council tonight passed the
ordinance accepting the Puller syndi
cate's bid of $S.751.370.45 for the city's
holdings In the Western Maryland rail
road. The ordinance was then sent over
to the second branch, where It was In
troduced as a substitute for the meas
ure already under consideration in that
branch, and received Its first reading.
It Is expected that It will be ready for
the mayor's signature Thursduy night.
The members of the Puller syndicate
declare that It Is their intention to con
nect the Western Maryland railroad, as
rapidly as tho work can bo done, with
the Wheeling and Lake Erie and
through It with the Wabash system
nnd Its connecting lines, thus making
Baltimore the terminal of a great trans
continental lino controlled by the Wab
ash. The Puler-Gould syndicate will get
the Western Maryland railroad at its
recent supplemental bid of $8,7."1,370.45.
Tho fact that the road will become tho
property of the Fuller syndicate was
made practically certain at Mon
day's session of the city council,
and it will only take another session
of that body and the signature of
Mayor Hayes to cause the deal to be
come a matter of history.
LaBt Week's Demand.
Last week the city council demand
ed that If the Fuller syndicate did not
increase Its supplemental bid of $8,751,
370.15 to $10,001,000, it could not get pos
session of the road. The Fullers in
dicated to the council that, If the road
could not be secured on their own terms
they would seek a tidewater outlet for
their system clsewheie. When the coun
cil met Monday night a transformation
had taken place. President Sproesser,
of the First branch, made a motion
favoring the supplemental bid of the
Fullers, and further moved that It be
placed on Its second reading. Council
man Ulrich, who had formerly favored
the Reading bid, came out for the Full
ers. The test, vote resulted In a unani
mous ballot, 24 votes being cast. Action
was postponed Indefinitely on the re
maining ordinances of the other three
bidders.
The Fuller ordinance would havo
likewise gone through the second
branch but for the attitude of Major
Vensiblc, who had Its second reading
postponed by offering an amendment,
making It mandatory on the part of
tho West Virginia Central railroad to
accept and sign a contract to buy the
city's interests In the Western Mary
land railroad. He explained that this
was only a safeguard. After the meet
ing of the council, It developed that
the Fullers had a majority vote In tho
second branch, and that tomorrow
Major Venable would vote for the or
dinance. All this change of position on the
part of the councllmen can be ascribed
to politics. Tersely stated, the situation
Is this: President Sproesser, of the
first branch, will get the Republican
nomination for congress In the Third
district; ex-Mayor Malster will get a
Federal position, and United States
Marshal IClrey will be reappointed.
Such Is the climax of the famous West
ern Maryland railroad deal.
Beading's Fight Against Odds.
AVhen the bids for tho Western
Maryland wore first opened more than
n half dozen so-called syndicates made
offers for the property, but ono by one,
when the Hultlmoro councils called for
substantial proof of their Intentions,
they dropped out, until but t(uee were
In the Held the Fuller-Gould, tho
Heading and the Vurney-Phlladelphla
bidders. Puling tho last week only the
Fuller-Uould and the Reading were be
lieved to havo any chance of securing
tho properly.
In Its contest for the Western Mary
land the Reading seems to have made
a losing fight against stupendous odds.
Practically all the Raltlmore news
papers favored the Fuller-Gould pro
position, because of the belief that tho
great Wabash system would make Its
Kastern terminal stations In that city,
lly purchasing the West Virginia Cen
tral and Pittsburg the Fuller-Gould
people won the powerful political sup
port of both states, wnicn counted a
great deal against the Heading, ns both
United fitntes senators from Maryland
are Interested In the West Virginia
road. Influential business and com
mercial bodies of Haltluiore also favor
ed the Fuller-Gould proposal, as
against tho Readlng.as did Mayor ifuyen
and President Hood, tho lutter being
nt tho head of tho Western Maryland
road. Reading has waged a lively cam
paign, bringing tho question directly be,
fore the people of IluUlmori', with long
letteis by tho counsel of the rondt pub
lished as advertisements In tho.Rultl
nioro papers.
If It turns nut, ns now seems likely,
that tho Fuller-Gould syndicate no
uulres, tho .Western Maryland, jt, means
a liew and powerful trunk lino from
tho Atlantic) coast as far West ns'the
Missouri liver, apd possibly to the

GOVERNOR W. H. TAPT '
ON THE PHILIPPINES
Spoke Before the Students and Pro
fessors at Yale His Beference
to the Water Cure.
By Exclusbe Wire from The Associated Tress.
New Haven. Conn., April 29. Gover
nor General William H. Taft, of tho
Philippine islands, was well received
this evening, when he addressed about
2,000 students, professors and others In
College Street hall at Yale. After
brlelly reviewing the historical and
geographical features of the Philippines,
Judge Taft described its governmental
and economic status at the lime the
American army took possession. He
then developed the history of the past
four years.
With respect as to evidence of the
water cure and other cruelties, Gover
nor Taft said that it must be remem
bered that the army of forty to sixty
thousand men, by reason of the guer
rlla warfare carried on by the Insur
gents, had to be divided Into five hun
dred posts, many of which were com
manded by first and second lieutenants
or captains, and sometimes by ser
geants, und that the detachments In
the field far exceeded the number of
posts, that this explained how It was
possible, with many engagements dally,
exceptional instances of such abuses
might occur without typifying the con
duct of the army, which on the whole
wus humane and considerate toward
the natives.
It was not to be expected that in an
army of 60,000 men there should not bo
brutes or weak men'who would yield
to the temptation of arbitrary power
and the provocation hardly to be un
derstood, of the ambush and treach
ery, savagery and danger of the Filip
ino guerrila warfare as It wus prac
ticed. ELKIN IN ALLEGHENY.

hard to ask their followers to fight
Elkln without having someone to rally
around.
The plan to have favorite sons en
dorsed by county conventions Is not
creating nny appreciable amount of
enthusiasm. In the absence of any
man to tie to tho voters are Inclined
to express their preference as between
Elkln and Watrcs. To that fact Is at
tributed the success of Elkln in Luz
erne county, where the attorney gen
eral litis upset the carefully laid plans
of Congressman Palmer and Colonel
Watres. The congressman Is ono of
the original antl-Elkln men'.
Long before other congressmen were
taking nny part Mr. Palmer was going
frequently to the Quay residence to tell
the senator that It would not do to per
mit Elkln to remain in tho field with
the tacit endorsement of the state or
ganization. It was he who started the
report that there was such a strong
feeling against Elkln that If ho were
nominated he would be such a drag
upon the ticket that hal" a dozen con
gressmen would surely be defeated.
Tho success of the Elkln men In
Palmer's own county, where the feeling
of local pride In Watres was supposed
to be very strong, will be the excuse
for some gibes at the congressman
fiom his colleagues when he returns to
his duties here.

will bo towed to the Holland company's
station tit New Suffolk for repairs, iiis
soon as the weather 'moderates. It will

When the Accident Occurred.
On account of the rough weather at

of the Fulton to put In to the Delaware
breakwater and it was while the boat,
partly under water, was rounding the
great stone breakwater that the explos
ion occurred. Nine men were in tho
hold nnd three men on deck at the time.
Assistant Engineer Miner, who was
lying beside the boiler asleep, was
thrown several feet away. Lieutenant
MacArtliur, who Is a son of Major Gen
eral MaoArthur, and Gunner Bechtul
were at breakfast. The former was
hurled against the roof of the cabin.
Injuring his head. Bechtal was struck
by heavy debris. He was so badly hurt
that he was unable to care for himself
and the others helped him to the deck,
making their escape as the hold was
rapidly filling with gasoline fumes.
Captain Frank Cable, Lieutennnt H.
H. Morrell and Boatswain Charles Berg
were on deck when the explosion oc
curred and signalled tho tug Storm
King and yacht Mlndora, which con
voyed the Fulton here, for assistance,
The steam launch Palacea, being near,
also went alongside and took the in
jured men ashore to the marine hos
pital. Considerable bravery was shown by
Engineer Saunders. After the explos
ion, tho engines continued to work.
Saunders wrapped his hend and face In
n wot towel nnd went below and stopped
them. After the explosion tho Fulton
was towed to the government pier near
tho hospltnl.
The Fulton left Sandy Hoolc at 8.39
Monday morning. Shortly afterword
she submerged and made fifteen miles
under water, going nt the rate of flvo
miles an hour off Long Branch, Sho
came to the surfaco and mado six miles
an hour during tho trip until the acci
dent at tho breakwater occurred. Sho
proved to be a good sea boat and did
not once require tho assistance of her
convoy. The engine ran continuously
for twenty hours. Those on bou'rd were
highly pleased with her performance,'
