Washington, Dec, lj.-Isolated bands
Of bush~hacking insurgents who are
caught By our forces In the Philippines
are likely to be summarily dealt with.
At the cabinet meeting today the mat
ter was discussed at some length and
II was the general sentiment that the
situation demanded vigorous treatment.
AS long as the insurgents keep up a
show OF an army under a semblance Of
discipline they will be treated as pris-
oners OF war when captured, but when
they degenerate forces by cold blooded
assassinauons, II is the judgment Of
the officers in command IN the Philip
pines, and Of the President and Of the
members Of the cabinet, that the situa-
ton demands summary action.
The war department today received q
cablegram giving the latest develop
ments In the situation In the Philip

CLOSE OF FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

Washington, Dec. l5.-This was the

sentatlves but that fact failed to arouse
more than languid intereset in the pro-
ceedlngs. During the early hours there
was less than score Of Republican

cratic representation was similarly
thin and scattered. Mr.. Jones (va)

Mr. Berry sat q few seats ahead Of
Mr.. Wheeler, and the latter addressed
himself personally to his colleague
Col. Berry was quickly on his feet as
Mr.. Wheeler closed and responded saw
agely, personally, and with much feel
ing.
He said the speech just heard was
