Our “EpilepticMountebanks’’ May Call it Murder / STRUNG UP AND SHOT ' Presidente of Santa Magdalena Forced to Dig His Own Grave. TWO OFFICIALS TORTURED BY SOLDIERS A Report of the Governor J. G. Livingstone of Sc-rsogon Which Reads Like a Chapter From Prescott’s Conquest of Mexico. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C.. May 31.—The Secre tary of War has transmitted to the Sen ate Committee on tin* Philippines a copy of a report made by J. 'G. Livingstone, Governor of the Philippine Province of Srsogon, of the killing by soldiers of two native officials of the town of Santa Magdalena of that province. One of the liieji was the presidente of the town named Ysiro Gallanosa and the other a policeman. The secretary of the town, one Quintin Gamit also was tortured for thi- purpose of forcing a confession from him. Governor Livingstone says that a na tive who was trusted by the American authorities was stent to *he town to spy out ireu connected witli the movement Known as the “Anting-Anting” move nt nt; that he arrested some such men and took them with their papers be fore the presidente and that while all were there a detachment of troops un ti* r a corporal entered and arrested all ns insurgents. They were then taken be n.re Lieutenant F. W. Marker, of the Fifteenth infantry, who put them to work .mi the streets. The report /continues: * The next day the presidente and Gamit v■ r. tnk 'll out in the wood, and hung until their feet were nearly off the ground ami v.vrc .isked if they would “talk,” to which they replied that they would, nit -I.lally. They were returned to Matnog, "here the secretary was again questioned I y Lieutenant Marker as to the conduct :t:ei character of the presidente, giving, according to his (the secretary’s) statc i’ • at. satisfactory answers. He was re turned to the jail, and later he, with tee presidente and Curaieo Funes, a policeman of Magdalena, were again ta li* a to the hills. b* ieg compelled to carry ;■ rope, a pick ami spade, and on reach •tig a icrtain spei the presidente was put in work diggir- what would appear to ! a gn* - e. Then the presidente v.is bound and lrt in the back. The sec ntirv stabs he saw all of this himself ; ud also saw ‘.he policeman hound in the * m*“ way and a little later heard shots, which he pr-e umed were fired at the policeman, .is he was also killed.” The- t p it also says, “It is claimed that ■ j -.vsidente and policeman at tempt .-d t< escape, and the soldiers con * or.i-d have made affidavits to this ef fort, ini I believe th ; s to be absolutely t.n.t rue.” Cnv, rnor Livingston'' concludes by giv ii . his own opinion of the case as fol lows: ■’pen cares tl consideration of the v hale question, from my knowledge of the i ulitions existing at the time and from n v personal knowledge of those most ■ rii,- concerned, I am forced to the opinion that the original order for the ar < st of these men was absolutely un irranted, possibly due to malinterpreta tion aid over-zealousness on the part of th>> corporal; that the two prisoners killed did not attempt to escape and that their killing was murder.” Unclosed with the Governor's report are affidavits of the private soldiers who rhot the presidente and also an affidavit from a native prisoner saying that the prest ;< nte had allowed him to escape for pay. lln r. also is a report uuon the case by Captain E. Wittenmeyer, of the Fifteenth ms miry, as follows: I wish to call your attention to the f; d that at the time this occurred some t"*» prisoners had been captu: ed. most of wljom were members of the Anting- Anting Society, and I have no doubt that this presidente was a member us this g tig. It is a fact that cannot be dis puted that a company of Anting-Anting II cm St. Magdalena was in the fight at (h.ti. September 7til, and some of their .r.ended were ■'ared for by this presidente ; i.o his i üborilinates. There is no doubt my mind that he was guilty of incit ing and sustaining insurrection and op position against United States forces."

S- Army, n:i<! formerly Adjutant General of the A'-inv in the Philippines, today continued hi. testimony before the Senate Philip pine Committee.

Colonel Wagner did not agree with General 6ughes that the war in the Philippines was not civilized war. He said that in the provinces commanded by General Bell about 10.0(H) people were gathered in the concentration camps. Their property left outside the camps was confiscated and the wealthy people lost heavily. He did not believe that any camp described by an anonymous officer as a "suburb of hell” ever ex isted.

SAINTS IN PEACE, DEVILS IN WAR Spooner’s Excuses for Cruel ties in the Philippines LOI THE PILGRIM FATHERS # First Fell on their Knees, Then on the Indians. THE St NATE HOLDS A NIGHT SESSION Hoar and Spooner Have a Hot Passage of Words Over the Philippine Question. A Remark by Carmack Greeted With Hisses. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., May 31.—Hissing in the Senate Is so unusual that when it occurred in the course of the Philippine debate today it created a sensation. Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, was speaking and referred, incidentally, to the story that a thousand Filipinos had been put to death by American troops in trenches which they were compelled to dig. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, said the story had been denied by the father of the sol dier who had started it, and that the War Department had cabled to General Chaffee to ascertain the facts. Mr. Car mack, of Tennessee, interrupted to say that no doubt the soldier, would deny the story as all soldiers in the Philippines had been required to do. His remark was greeted with hisses from the galler ies, the demonstration of disapprobation calling out a sharp rapping of the gavel from the chair. Mr. Spooner occupied nearly five hours of t oday’s session in concluding his speech begun on Thursday. His eloquence and earnestness attracted the attention of all Senators and of hundreds of occu jwints of the crowded galleries. He did not believe in the admission of the Phil ippines to the Union as States, hut in the conduct of the islands nothing savor ing ot imperialism had been suggested except for party purposes. “I have not been in favor of perma nent dominion over the Philippines ” said Mr. Spooner, but I do not mean by that that I have been in favor of the United States running av.ay like a coward or abandoning a people who have come un der our protection or surrendering them to tyranny, anarchy and chaos.” Mr. Spooner declared that there was little or no similarity between the condi tions In Cuba and those in the Philip pines. “Those Senators," he insisted, “who cannot see the difference between the Philippines and Cuba have some sort or mental strabismus.” “If Congress had recognized the inde pendence of the Filipinos,” said he, “in stead of being there, as we are now, with a title which t|>e Supreme Court of the United States says is complete, which the Senate has accepted as complete, which Congress paid for as complete, which the world recognizes as complete, which gives us the power to do what is generous and noble and right and uplifht ing to that people, we would be there on the shifting sands of contact with a forme)* tyrant. I think that God has saved us from that unutterable folly." Later Mr. Hoar inquired if the inhabi tants of the Philippines were not a peo ple where there were millions of men, acting together, who raised an army, selected a general, turned Spain out of all territory except only the city of Ma nila and who had agreed upon a consti tution. Republican in form. “They would be a people,” replied Mr. Spooner, “if that were true.” "It is true,” said Mr- Hoar. "I deny it,” insisted Mr. Spooner- 'T deny that there is any more than super ficial truth in it.” He referred to the Filipinos army as a collection of (miscellaneous persons who now constituted bands of bandis and cut throats. Mr. Spooner said that Aguinaldo was “a government of proclamation, of con fiscations, and assassinations, and ihe evidence all shows it.” Mr. Spooner quoted from a diary to show that Aguinaldo had said that once the independence of the Philippines was declared, he (Aguinalilo) and his friends would take a trip to Europe with an allowance of $1,000,0(10 for expenses. Mr. Spooner regerred to the last Presiden tial campaign and the candidacy of Mr. Bryan and to the assertions of the Fili pino leaders that the succes of the De mocracy meant the independence of the Philippine, and then, after saying that the American people had passed upon I the Philippine question at the polls added: "ou cannot charge upon the ratification of the treaty, nor upon the sending of our army to the Philippines, all the blood shed or all the cruelties that came to that army.” “Referring to General Smith s order, for the killing of all inhabitants of Sa mar above ten years of age, Mr. Spooner quoted the witticism that the Pilgrims, on landing first fell upon their knees and then upon the Indians. He read from a statue of Massachusetts, of 1722, of fering a regard of 100 pounds sterling; for every male Indian scalp, twelve | years and upward, and of fifty pounds. for the scalp of those killed in buttle. Mr. Hoar interrupted to say that the’ Puritans had bought and paid for every foot of land acquired from the Indians and that the statue of 1722 was “cruel and barbarous." • Do vou approve of it,” he demanded, "when at the beginning of the twentieth century you make it a precedent?" "I think,” said Mr. Spooner, "that our fathers bought the lands of the Indians in Massachusetts and then proceeded to buy their scalps.” ’T will agree,” retorted Mr. Hoar, “that this policy which the Senator defends in the Philippines is well supported by all the wicked precedents which can be fourd in the lives of good men.” vLaugh ter). “Senators," declared Mr. Spooner, “who denounce our policy in the Philippines in general language, on ex parte testimony ought not to forget that our forbears, (brave men In war) also found it neces sary to resort in war to what in time of pi ace no man on earth would approve.” “Does the Senator approve of that or der?” demanded Mr. Hoar, “in war or in peace.” “If it were necessary,” suggested Mr. Spooner, “to make the order in Massa chusetts so that the pilgrim might pro tect his home from destruction, his wife from debauchery and his children from cruelty, I would have done what he had dnoe. What does the Senator say?” “It never was necessary to do it,” Mr. Hoar declared. “It was a base and wicker order, and when the Senator talks of forbears I am happy to say that the man of that generation who bore my name incurred obloquy and indignities through resisting things then as I do now.” "(Ap plause). Mr. Spooner said to Mr. Hoar that if ho did not believe his party was right and could not aet with them he would vote for the other party. - This elicited quite a long reply from Mr. Hour who said he did not believe the Democratic party was right in their view of the question. He believed that Republican party would work out the problem right in the end, but that they should Vie shown that their present policy was wrong. He could not be expected to abandon a party in whose policies in the main he believed, to join a party to whose policies he was opposed. In conclusion Mr. Spooner declared that if the Democratic party ever obtained control of the government, no such “fat uous and cowardly” policy as now sug gested by the minority would be fol lowed. The Democratic party would fol low the plan now suggested by the Re publicans and would declare that it was impossible to withdraw from it. Mr. Pottus, of Alabama, discussed some of the legal phases of the Philippine question, dealing with the powers of the United States and of the several States. He held that it was impossible for the United States to govern any territory now operated in accordance with the fon stitution of the United States. Mr. Bate, of Tennessee, said lie sym pathized with the efforts of the minority to get at the truth in the Philippine question, although he did not want to be put in the attitude of criticising the army. Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi, declared that General Otis and General Funston had slandered the private soldiers in the Philippines, but he said that Democratic Senators had not in any way slandered the army and that that charge itself was a slander. At 5:15 p. mfl the Senate took a recess until 8 o’clock. At the opening of the evening sessioon Mr- Carmack, (Tenn.), took the door. He said the debate hail been carried on by the minority in the hope that the bill would be purged of its most ob jectionable features. All hope of sub stantial amendment of the bill was now abandoned. He scoffed at Senator Morgan's theory that the Filipino insurgents were the “tools of wicked conspirators at Hong Ktng," saying that that was the dis honored plea of despots, the plea of con quest and murder anil robbery in all ages. He proceeded in an exceedingly sarcastic vein to reply to some of Mr. Morgan’s arguments. He said he did not know of a more dangerous doctrine than that advanced by Mr. Morgan, that the army was more representative of the people than Congress. He did not believe that the United States had reached the stage of degen eration and decay when the custody of its liberties rested in the army.
