SENATOR HoAR, OF Massachusetts,, has
introduced q bill to recognize the i'm
mediate Independence Of the Philippines.
Mr.. Hoar is too previous. This would
mean giving them up to anarchy, and
their seizure by one or more European
powers. Uncle Sam should assure them
that their ultimate Independence is what
We desire, and should establish protec'
torate over them, under which municipal
provincial and State Governments by
the Philippines shall be established ai
soon % it il possible, consistent with the

WAsH1N eroM is all torn up over tn,

WAsHINaroM is all torn up over the
ungentlemanly language used by Chas
p. Eagan, Commisssry General, in his
written testimony before the War In
vsstigating Committee, toward Gen
Miles, the Commander in Chief OF the
Army. The testimony was sent back to
Eagan for revisal, and he will be publicly
censured by the President. He has
shown himself no soldier. A true sol
dier would not use such language to-
ward his superior officer. Eagan's
language which could not haye come
from . gentleman was as follows:
"When General Miles charges that II
(beef) was furnished as o 'pretense o
sxperiment,' he lies in his throat, he
lies In his heart, he lies in every hair Of
his head and every pore of his body; hi
lies wilfully, deliberately, Intentionally
and maliciously. In denouncing Gen.
eral Miles - liar, when he makes thi
statement, wish to make it % en-
phstic and coarse az the statement itself
/ wish to force the lie back into hi
throat. covered with the contents of
camp latrine."

fighting, no meeting of American
troops, and no withdrawal of the
American troops from Iloilo. There
seems to be better understanding be-

understanding between the two coun'
