TO ExTORT INFORMATION.
Gen. Bates Issues an Order Against
Employing Cruel MethOds.


Employing Cruel Methods.
Major General Bates. commanding the
department of southern Luzon. has issued
an order in which he says:
"Rumors having reached these headquar-
ters that unjustifiably harsh measures have
been employed in some instances to extort
information from captured ladrunes Off
GERS of this command are reminded that
general orders of the War Department
provide ample and lawful methods for the
treatment of prisoners, spies and other per-
sons not entitled to the rights of recognized
belligerents and all departures from the
provisions of said orders are strictly pro-
hibited.
While II Is not believed that any officer OF
this command would. either openly or in
directly, sanction any unmerciful acts. and
still less that he would deliberately order
them. all persons in military service in this
department are nevertheless warned tina,
no end can be so desirable or important as
to justify a departure from the recognized
laws of war. or resort to any deliberate
measures of cruelty"

tire From Diplomacy.


Acting Secretary Hill this morning re-
ceived the resignation of Mr.. VIM. F. ORA
per of Massachusetts, United States am
bassador to Italy and forwarded it to PresI-
dent Mckinley at Canton Gen. Draper was
appointed to the italian mission soon after
the present administration came into pow
er, and as it has always been understood
that the duties of the office were entirely
congenial to him there Is some surprise at
his resignation. 1t Is understood. however
that his resignation Is based entirely upon
business reasons He Is the head of q
firm Of manufacturers of machinery and
II is supposed that he has found his diplo-
matte office inconsistent with the proper
management Of his large business interests.
So far as can be gathered nothing has yet
been done toward the selection of his sue
cessor. but 1t Is not doubted that New Eng
land. and particularly Massachusetts,. Mr..
