HE TRIED TO KILL HER.
Mrs. Hoot Claims Her husband Tried
TO Chloroform Her on wedding Tour.

Waterloo, Nov. 3.-New evidence de-
veloped yesterday in the Hoot Internal
machine case, when Mrs. jerome Hoot
acquainted the police with the story
of what she believes was previous at
tempt upon her life. The alleged at
tack was made about a year ago, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoot We're enjoying their
honeymoon, and had reached Kansas
City, one of the points where they
stopped on their wedding tour. AT a
hotel in that city they spent the second
night of their married life and here
Mrs. Hoot says her husband tried to
chloroform her. For what purpose she
refused to convey her property to him.
Mrs. Hoot, according to her story, was
restless and awakened after midnight
with feeling of oppression and I'M
natural drowsiness. Her husband was
lying on her arm looking into her face.
His hand was on her breast, and in it
he had his handkerchief, from which
she plainly detected the fumes of
chloroform. She touched the handker-
chief and found it moist. Mr.. Hoot
quickly removed it, and when she asked
him what he had on his handkerchief.
he said he had dampened it with water
on account of headache. Mrs. Hoot
says she knew the handkerchief had
been saturated with chloroform. She
couldn't be mistaken in the odor of the
drug. The denial on the part of her
husband OF the presence of choloform
made her positive in her suspicion that
for some unaccountable reason he
wanted to kill her. There was no more
sleep for her that night, but she placed
cunning against cunning, and revealed
in no act Of hers the suspicion she en-
tertained. She arose in the morning
with the nights occurrences indelibly
impressed on her memory, and rs soon
as her husband left the room sought
for the source of his supply of the
drug. In his private travelling bag she
found a two-ouuce bottle nearly full of
chloroform. Connecting this with tha
handkerchief incident, the horrible
crime contemplated of which she was
the intended victim dawned upon her
with crushing shock, despite the
warning She had received. She tool.

Chicago and the man who sent the in

the Chicago police, however and they
claim to have well defined clue to his

ling had long since passed. An efficient
corps of native policemen was on duty:
The system of public schools in which
English was taught had been advocated
by the commission and established by
General Otis. Six thousand scholars
were in attendance.
'In the Tagalog provinces of Luzon,
where the anti-American feeling has
been strongest, the public sentiment
had greatly changed, as evidenced by
the fact that the military governor OF
Batangas had offered to surrender his
troops and his province if we would
only send a small force there. The BIZ
coils, in southern Luzon, had risen
against their Tagalog masters, the Mac
cabbees were clamoring for an oppor-
tunity to fight in our ranks, and native
soldier scouts We're already serving UNI

corruption of insurgent officers were
becoming daily more common and the
disintegration of the enemy's forces
was steadily progressing. The hope
of assistance from outside sources
seemed to be all that held them to.

The commission declares that the re-
bellion is essentially Tagalog and when
it ends in Luzon it must end through
out the archipelago.
Inabillty OF Self Government
The report shows that the inability
for self-government is due to the old
Spanish regime, which gave the Flip
mos little or no part in governing them
selves. 1t says:
THE most that can be expected OF
them is 10 cooperate with the Ameri-
cans in the administration Of general
affairs, from Manila as center, and to
undertake, subject to American control
or guidance Gas may be found neces-
sary), the administration of provincial
and municipal affairs. As education adj
vances and experience ripens, the ma
tives may be intrusted with larger
and more independent share of the
government; self-government, as an
American IDEAL, being constantly kept
in view as the goal. In this way the
Americans sovereignty over the archi-
pelago will prove a great political boon
to the people.
Should our power by any fatality
be Withdrawn, the commission believes
that the government of the Philippines
would speedily lapse into anarchy,
which would excuse if it did not neces-
itate the intervention of other powers,
and the eventual division of the islands
among them"
The commission dismisses the reports
of desecrating churches, the numbering
Of prisoners and committing of unmen.
tionable crimes, and say they are glad
to express the belief that a war was
never more humanely conducted. They
state that the Philippine islands should
soon become one of the great trade
centers of the east. Manila is already
connected by steamship lines with An.
tralia, India and Japan and will become
the natural terminus of many other
lines when the ship canal connects the
| Atlantic with the Pacific.

Limlted scope oil Rebellion.

The report speaks of the issuance OF
the commissions proclamation and the
good effect it had on public sentiment.
A showing the limited scope of the re-
bellion, the commission states:
1--WE learned that the strong anti
American feeling was confined to the
Tagal provinces, namely, Manila, Ca
vite, Laguna, Batangas, Morong, Bnla-
can, Nueva Ecija, Principe, Infanta and
Zambales. The population of these pro-
vinces is estimated at about n
million and a half, but it should not
be supposed that even in the six pro-
yinces Immediately adjacent to Manila
the people would unite in opposition TO
u.s.
Under the head, "The Rebellion Not
a National Movement" the report says
that throughout the archipelago at
large there was trouble only at those
points to which the armed Tagals had
been sent in considerable numbers. 1t
is stated the insurgent administration
Throughout the interior was worse than
in the days of Spanish misrule.
The commission gives in detail their
efforts toward municipal government,
and says the liberties given created
general satisfaction.
The commission sums up the situa-
ton at the time Of their departure as
follows:

stand in this narrow portion, no

Manila. Aug. %, via Hongkong. Aug.
29.-Recent events have proved some
what discouraging TO o Gals VINO are
trying to accompany war with a poilcy
Of Cancellation. Two new munlclpal
governments have collapsed through
the treachery of the mayors. To-day
the mayor of San Pedro Macati, who
was elected by the people under the
direction Of Prof. Dean Worcester, or
the United States advisory commission
for the Philippines, vas brought to
Manila and lodged in Jail. The United
States officers at San Pedro Macatl
found that he was using his office in
securing information for the Filipino
nrmy. Disguised insurgents were
helping him.
The mayor of Balinag was also ar
rested and confined in the same prison.
The Americans caught him passing be-
tween the line of the two armies with
nm discriminating document, which the
authorities secured. Another proml-
nent native mayor is under survell-
lance. When the electio- at linus,
which Gen. Lawton and Prof. Worces-
ter engineered, was announced, the
Americans inquired as to the where
sbouts OF the peoples choice and were
informed that he was in prison ut
Bilibid. where the authorities a
placed him on suspicion of being a rev.
olutionist. He was released and H.
stalled as mayor.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that a great ma
jority of the natives sympathize with
the insurgents and elect o Gals whom
they know TO be revolutionists. For
two meeks Manila has been policed at
night with unusual vigilance. Appar-
emily the authorities are expecting
trouble. The trend of affairs tends to
make the policy of leniency unpopular
among the Americans. When they
abandoned Morong they burned the
whole town.
Col. Search, Of the Twelfth infantry,
who is in command at Angeles, is
cynical regarding Filipino f~riendliness.
Instead of allowing the natives to re-
turn to the town as heretofore, he ii
ordered his men to shoot all men try
Ing to pass the lines and TO turn back
all women and children. He recently
gave the amigos in the town an oppor-
tunity to prove their professed friend
ship, putting them to work at digging
trenches and cleaning the streets, but
this only displeased them. The fore
most citizen of Angeles, a lawyer, who
had welcomed the Americans with a
great show of cordiality, was found
communicating with the insurgents.
The Americans promptly marched him
off to San Fernando to be tried by
court martial.
