THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 24. 1902. CIVILIZING WIH BULLET AND FLAME i Our “Benign” Labors in the Philippines A WAR WITHOUT MERCY Mr. Rawlins Continues His Speech in the Senate. TILLMAN READS HOAR A LECTURE He Instructs the Gentleman From Down East in the Principles of Courtesy. Consider ing Senate Amendments to Oleomargarine Bill (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., April 23.—During today's session of the Senate, Mr. Raw lins, of Utah, continued his speech in opposition to the bill providing for a form of government for the Philippine Is lands. He devoted the greater part of his speech to a discussion of the testi mony presented to the Philippines Com mittee relating to the administration of the “Water cure’’ to natives and to other forms of torture inflicted upon the Filipinos. He had not concluded his re n arks when the Senate adjourned. During the early part of the session the bill providing for a union railroad station in Washington was under consid eration, but no action was taken. Mr. Hoar (Mass.), participated in the debate on this bill and soon found him self in a wordy discussion with Mr. Till man, who charged that the Massachu setts Senator had been discourteous to him at which he was surprised because the Senator who was always a stickler for good order, Senatorial dignity and deco rum, should set a high example that Sen ators might imitate. “But the Senator from Massachusetts,” said Mr. Tillman, “habitually breaks certain rules of the Senate and he should make allowance for those of us who have their ‘foibles and short comings.’ ” Mr. Tillman opposed the bill. Mr. Rawlins presented many cases of torture of Filipinos, of the burning of towns and of the incarceration of Fili pinos. All this, he said, was done to carry to the Filipinos the benign admin istration of the American government. The war, he said, was to be waged re lentlessly and vigorously and the articles of Avar were to be cast to the winds. The war to be waged was not to be a war of humanity but a war without mercy. It was uncivilized warfare and without excuse. Mr. Rawlins said that Waller’s men performed the most thankless and un lionored task ever soldiers were called upon to perform. He declared that the troops were ordered to make the island a “howling wilderness,’’ and kill every body over the age of ten years. Messrs. McMillan (Mich.), Elkins (W. Va.), and Berry (Ark.), were appointed conferees on the River and Harbor Bill. The Day in the House. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., April 23.—The House today began consideration of the Senate amendments to the Oleomargarine Rill. A special rule for this purpose was adopt ed by a vote of 152 to 79. By the ruling of the chair the question of further amendment of the Senate propositions was confined •within very narrow limits and slow’ progress was made. The oppo nents of the measure who sought to modify the Senate amendments in va rious places, were outvoted upon every proposition submitted.

IN CHAFFEE'S HANDS Much Left to His Discretion in Dealing With the Moros. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, April 23. —The War De partment today made public the tele graphic cable correspondence which has taken place up to date respecting the Moro outbreak in Mindanao- The Im portant feature of the correspondence is the closing chapter, showing that General Davis’ expedition is not arbi trary stopped, but that General Chaf fee Is allowed to exercise bis discretion. It is believed that the presence of Gov ernor Taft in Washington, is the expla nation of the President’s direction that General Chaffee shall confer wi'h the acting head of the Philippine Commis sion before adopting hostile tactics. The correspondence begins with the cablegram given out last week, dated Manila, April 15, in which General Chaf fee recites the killing of the first Amer ican soldier near Malabang and the forming of an expedition under Baldwin to arrest the murderers. In answer to this the following dis patch was sent: ‘ Washington, April 20, 1902. “Chaffee, Manila. “Expedition ordered under Baldwin will not leave coast until you hear from here. This will not, how r ever, interfere with complete preparation. “CORBIN.” On April 22, the following cablegrams were sent General Chaffee: “Chaffee, Manila. “The President is anxious that no ex pedition be made against Moros until all efforts by negotiation have been ex hausted. To this end he desires that you confer freely with the acting civil gov ernor. In the event the force has to be sent, he directs that it ffo under the im mediate command of Genera! Davis. The President will give you all support, but desires exercise of great care and prudence- If possible avoid by all hon orable means general war. “CORBIN.” “Chaffee, Manila. "With reference to previous cables on subject it has been suggested to Presi dent that possibly surrender of the Moros murderers might be effected by in strumentality friendly Dattos. President desires this considered in conference with Wright and to have assurance every honorable peaceful remedy has been ex hausted. “CORBIN.” General Chaffee responded to the last cablegram by the dispatch, given out at thp White House last night, and published this morning stating that to withdraw all the American forces would ruin our prestige; to withdraw part of the forces would be dangerous. To this statement, the following re sponse was made today: “Washington, April 23, 1902 “Chaffee, Manila. “Your cable of yesterday has been sub mitted by the Acting Secretary of War to the President who directs that you keep in mind the President’s orders, but of course do nothing that will impair our prestige or in any other way imperil the army. Ts after the expiration of the time named in your proclamation and after ail possible diplomatic and friendly methods have been exhausted your demand for the Moros murderers has not been met. you will act upon the linos that in your judg ment will best serve to bring about peace and order in the island of Mindanao. “CORBIN.” Veterans Chose New Orlesn*.

J., April 23- —Striking dye helpers today stormed the establish ments that were still runnning and by force compelled a complete suspension of business in their trade. They are engaged in a series of running fights with the police and plant managers and in one of these classes each exchanged a volley of pistol shots with them. The radicals among the strikers were in com mand. Many persons on either side were severely 'injured during the rioting, but none dangerously so. It was believed for a time that it would be necessary to ask the State for troops to restore or der and insure protection to life and property, but the police expressed con fidence in their ability to handle the sit uation and no request for outside aid was made- Judge Dixon called tfie grand jury and charged them to indict the persons guilty of rioting. The disorder began early in the day and was unexpected. A meeting was held at the works later. While the meeting was in progress hundreds of strikers stood outside the hall angrily discussing their grievances. The radicals urged a raid upon the works still in operation, and when their suggestion was approved, headed a rush for the plant of Johnson Cow’din and Company. Eight men at work here were called out and the strikers moved on the establishment of James Simpson and Company. That firm fearing trouble dismissed the men and closed Us doors. Robert Grades Works were visited next, and after that the Balford mill, wTtre the first serious disorder occurr ed, was surrounded. The property is walled in, but the strikers gained (he yard before the gates were shut. Win dows were smashed, chemicals spilled and considerable damage done. The men at work in the plant quickly quitted their places. V T hile one mob was attacking the Bal ford. another was surging into the plant of th e American Dyeing and Finishing Company. Armed with dye sticks and stones they charged through the plant, driving the men from their places. George Arnold, one of the members of the firm, was dropped insensible with a blow on the head from a dye stick. Almost simultaneously an attack was begun on the works of Emil Gering and Company in the fight for possession of which the shooting occurred. The police men were guarding the place and when the mob came rushing down on them they warned them to keep away. Some one in the crowd discharged a revolver and the police quickly returned the fire. Half a dozen shots we»3 fired and one strike!? who was unidentified, wos shot in Mie leg. Hie mob stoned the two policemen and when one oVthe latter arrested one of the leaders, they closed in around him. The officers swung their clubs and beat their way out/ of the crowd. A striker engaged Mr. Gering but was beaten oil. One of the patrolmen finally secured a rifle and when he came out and faced the crowd with it tnere was a general scat tering. From Gering’s the strikers hurried away toward the property of Knipach er and Maas, but that rail was checked by a squad of police. The latter formed across the street, and marching forward with night sticks drawn, forced the crowd back. Gerald Mistell, a young striker, hurled a rock at the police and was placed under arrest. The crowd tried to rescue him and to the number of over a hundred followed the officers to the prison hooting at them as they trailed along . The strikers met at Riverside again at 4 o’clock in the afternoon to receive the reports of the several shop commit tees. Nearly every one of the latter reported that their particulars shop would agree to the wage consessions demanded if all the other shops would. The con servative leaders strongly advised the strikers to avoid violence and disavowed the attacks made on the mills during the morning. Four thousand men are out.
