Were any confirmation needed that the

was in command of the troops at that
critical time in Manila, and in regard TO
the wild statements of Senators Petit

munication:
.'Sir-In the report of Senator Spoon
er's speech in relation to the suppression
of the Philippine insurrection, it appears
that Senator Pettigrew denied that Theo
dore Sandico issued a proclamation Or
dering the determination of all inhabit-
ants of Manila-men, women and chill
dren-except Filipino families. | was
then in command of the district south of
the Pasig river, and found the proclama-
tion posted in conspicuous places in my
part of the city. l had them torn down
and one translated. They were signed
by Sandico.
81 had received letters from him and
knew his signature. Moreover, soldiers
of my command arrested two Filipino
houses in the city. They were brought
to me and had them turned over to the
provost marshal general.
Senator Allen also asserted that Senor
Torres came into the city under flag of
truce to ask for a suspension of HOSTILE
ties. As know that Torres was within
our lines when the fighting began it is not
apparent how he came in, when it seems
almost impossible for him to have gotten
out. On the 9th of February white flags
were hung out from every Filipino house
in Manila, and the few Filipinos who
ventured into the streets carried little
white flags as an evidence of submission.
Senator Aliens reliable informant seems
to have forgotten to mention this circum
stance in saying that he saw Torres going
to headquarters under flag of truce.
Torres naturally inferred, without con-
sultat ton, that Aguinaldo would like a
suspension of hostilities, for in front Of
our first division alone the insurgents had
lost in one day 700 killed and drowned,
400 prisoners and seven cannon.
ST send this communication to correct,
so far as my testimony is relevant. a very
erroneous impression.

Aguinaldo Would Have Been a Peaceful
Citizen Eut for the Encouragement
Given Him by Sentimental
Traitors.

do not believe that the Southern bor-
der States would have seeded from the
Union in 1861 but for the aid and COM
fort given them by the Copperheads of
the North. When one distinguished ora
tor declared that the Union army would
have to march over the dead bodies of
DC, 1000 Indiana Democrats before they
reached the South, the magnificent utter
ance electrified Tennessee with hope.
Thousands of men hesitated upon the
brink of the awful abyss. They loved
the Union and hated the Abolitionists.
The Union was theory" entwined with
beautiful and patriotic sentiments. Slav-
cry was condition" in which was in
vested the hard earnings Of lifetime.
At the supreme crisis came the promise
of Northern Democrats that they would
not let us be hurt; their bitter denuneia-
tions Of the Republican party. The South
made the leap.
During the war we saw Indiana regi-
ments and brigades march through the
State of Kentucky. Tramp" Tramp"
''Tramp," they passed through Tennes-
see, Georgia and South Carolina. We
never did learn how the poor fellows got
over those 10000 dead bodies of their
Democratic friends and neighbors. We
were fully persuaded they killed and
made a corduroy road of them, because
the anti-imperialists of Indiana said they
would.
Our next hope after we got mixed up
together was that England and France
would help US for commercial reasons.
Vallandigham, Stevenson and a thousand
other Copperheads like the good brethren
who held up Joshua's arms, held ours up
by encouraging US to hold out a little
longer, by denouncing the war "faiI-
ure" and keeping us posted as to the
movements of our enemies.
This is all ancient history, but I, an old
Confederate, can see very readily how
the anti-imperialist league can materially
aid Aguinaldo and his crowd. Every old
soldier, North and South, understands
the force of moral support. Our war
would not have lasted three months but
for Northern Democratic encouragement,
and 1 believe Aguinaldo would have been
as peaceful citizen as Gomez but for
the encouragement he has received from
the sentimental traitors of the Anti-Im-
perial League.

Tufts College to Start New Way of
Securing Attendance mt RecitatIons.
The faculty of Tufts college. near
Boston, has just passed some rules and
regulations intended to lessen the ex-
tensive Cutting of recitations preva-
lent among Tufts students for several
years, says the New York Sun. A sys-
TEN of fines has been provided. Next
year all students will be obliged to
give satisfactory excuses for absences.
In case of absence from three consecu-
tive recitations or lectures student
must report in writing to the secretary
of the faculty his reasons for staying
away and the probable duration If the
absence is to continue. A provision is
made for athletic teams and musical
clubs whereby if the organization con-
slsts of more than ten men an author
ized person may report for them all.
1t Is also provided that not more than
two hours previous upon entering upon
college work after such absence each
student must report in person to the
secretary of the faculty.
A fnc Of 81 will be imposed upon any
student failing to report to the secre.
tary within two hours after his last
programme appointment preceding
each vacation of more than one day
and within two hours before his first
programme appointment after such va
cation.

be allowed to guard against any pos
sible disarrangement Of schedules.
To do away with any immediate re-
duction of the force now under Gen.
eral Macarthur 1t has been decided to
send regular troops to the Philippines
as quickly as they can be got ready
to take the places Of the departing
volunteers. Word has been received
here Of the issuance of orders for the
assemblying of the Sixth United States
cavalry at San Francisco for trans
portation to Manila within a few
weeks.
One detachment of that regiment is
to leave about June 10 and another
shortly afterward. The belief is that
most Of the troops In Cuba can be re-
lieved from duty in that country at the
conclusion of the elections which oc-
cur there June Is. In case the condi-
tions Justify 1t the retiring volunteers
will be sent to the United States at
once thereafter and assigned to home
stations, while Governor General
Woods garrisons will proceed immedi-
ately to recruit the army in the far
east.
The soldiers on the island of Luzon
seem to be enjoying better health than
one would imagine from reading some
of the accounts printed In the Ameri-
can newspapers, large numbers Of
which are brought In on every steamer.
The rainy season. unfortunately, is due
in about 40 days. Then the state of af-
fairs may be reversed. An expert esti-
mate of the sanitary condition of the
troops is afforded by an Interview with
one of the nurses in the Manila hos
pital.
"The ones here who served in the
terrible epidemic of fever in the south
during the memorable summer Of
1885," she said, find the work compar-
atively light. There is trifing num-
ber of typhoid fever cases. The major
ity of those at present needing medical
attention are affected with malaria and
dysentery.
Those who have been here suffi-
ciently long to have seen a rainy sea-
son tell us of the wonderful things we
may expect between the months Of
July and September. The hospitals are
then overrun with people suffering
from rheumatism and pneumonia. The
percentage Of illness among the troops
is small. 80 also Is. the death rate Of
the hospital Inmates. Forty nurses are
now on duty, and more are expected to
arrive on the Thomas, which is billed
to reach Manila inside Of ten days"
