Relics of Spanish Rule.

From the Manila American.
Antancio Siblet, Esteban Severidad and
Alberto Salmon, three native prisoners in
Bilibid, who were sentenced by the Span
ish courts to eight years imprisonment In
1898 for a robbery alleged to have been
committed by them in 1893. have asked for
their release on the ground that they are
innocent Of the crime, and that they have
now served about eight years. They tell
a story Of torture and inhumanity prac-
ticed by the Spanish officials In their case
that puts the inQutsition to shame.
The house of Spaniard was entered and
robbed by parties unknown in the summer
of 1893. Eight men. including the three
petitioners sSvere arrested on suspicion. In
order to secure confession the officials
tortured the prisoners in every conceivable
manner. They strung them up by the
thumbs, beat them with butts of rifles; ap-
piled the water cure and used the thumb
screw on them. TO avoid punishment five
confessed to a crime in which the three
men claim not one participated.
Their trial did not take place until five
years after the arrest, and all this time
they were held in prison. -Four OF the
prisoners had died from the result of inju-
rieS suSt aimed from the tortures inflicted,
and fifth died while the trial was I'm
progress. Each before he died declared
that he had made a false confession to
avoid the terrible tortures undergone.
Finally, in 1895, tnc- court decided to con-
vict the balance, who had survived the or
deal, and gave them eight years at hard
labor. According to the prisoners story
they We're all simple-minded farmers who
happened to be in the town and were the
first hombres that the police happened to
pick up They state that they have rea-
son to believe that the house was robbed
by the police, and they were made the VIC
Tins, as no effort was made to develop the
real criminals. and the only evidence of:
fered in court was the forced confessions Of

The Military Secretary's Views On'the
Subject of Religious Orders.
Aside from the case of the College OF
San Jose, closed by order of the military
governor in 1890, which case was disposed
of during the past year under legislation
of the commission submitting all questions
pertaining thereto to the supreme court Of
the Philippine Islands, this question has
presented itself for consideration mainly
in the form of applications made by or on
behalf of certain of the monastic orders
for permission to resume the administration
of their various properties Of which they
were deprived at the time OF the insurrec-
tion against the Spanish government. and.
to a limited extent, to resume provincial

PHILIPPINE FRIARS
Gen. MacArthur's Observations on
the Religious Problems.
AMERICAN GUARANTEE OF LIBERTY
Military Secretary Crowder's Re-
port on the Batangas Affair.
THE TANGLED LAND TITLES

One of the most interesting features Of
the annual report of Gen. Macarthur, as
military governor Of the Philippines, re-
lates to the religious problems involved in
the insular administration. Gen. MacAr
thur says:
Practical administrative questions touch
have not been numerous during the year.
An effort has been made to adjust such as
have arisen in accordance with the spirit
of liberation and religious liberty which
pervades the Constitution Of the United
States. Although the bodily presence Of
that instrument in the archipelago has not
been judicially declared, 1t has been as
sumed, as a fundamental principle of the
military administration. that all human be-
ings under the mantle Of the American flag
would, by reason of that fact alone, be
brought under the impartial tenets of the
constitutional guarantees.
In pursuance of this policy all laws bidfng
citizens, laymen, priests or ministers have
been accorded such freedom of personal
movement as was possible without embar-
RAISING military action in suppression of
the insurrection.
Notwithstanding the changed political
conditions resulting from American occu-
patton, violent public and private discus
sion continues as to relations existing be-
tween the people and the monastics As a
basis Of debate 1t has been assumed that
the religious corporations are inimical to
Philippine interests, and that the capacity
of members of the orders for mischief is
co-eXtensive with their personal presence.
That is to say, wherever frfar Is found
many people regard him as menace to
the community. AS a consequence, great
objection has been manifested against the
frarS going to the provinces.

BRIDGE BUILDING G
Annual Report Of W. ]. Douglas,
District Engineer.
CONDEMNS TIE NAVY YARD BRIDGE
Says It is Particularly Weak and
Insecure.
DETAILS OF WORK DONE

w. J. Douglas, engineer of bridges of the
District has submitted his annual report
to the Commissioners. Engineer Douglas
is most positive in his condemnation of the
Navy Yard or Anacostia, bridge. Besides
being unsightly, he declares that the struc-
ture is unsafe, and should not bear the
weight of the 17-ton cars which now pass
over 1t. The financial balance Of the re-
port shows that there is $4.09 left of the
$4,000 appropriated under the head Of 'Or-
binary care Of BRIGGS" Under the head
Of CONSTRUCTION and repair a total Of
$1537S.25 was expended. The appropriation
for this work was $4,000.
The recommendations and details Of
work done the past year are as follows:
Keepers were stationed at the Aqueduct
bridge over the Potomac, and the Penn
sylvania Avenue and Navy Yard bridges
over the Eastern branch At the last
named structure the operation Of the draw
requires a keeper and helper, and at the
olner two the demands of the public con-
venience justify their retention. These
men are special police officers, and, in ad-
dition to caring for the cleanliness and
safety of the structures, they enforce pub
lie order and have frequently made arrests
and secured conviction In cases of viola
tion of law.
The work of construction and repairs is
shown by the annexed table. The regular
repairs consisted of painting the iron work,
removal of floors and such minor repairs
as were from time to time required. The
structures are in good condition, requiring
only such repairs as are due to their regu-
lar and continued use. An exception from
tins statement should be made in the case
of the Navy Yard for Anacostia) bridge,
which has been considered structurally
weak, and since the employment of the
heavy motor cars of the Anacostia Rail-
way Company particularly SO. The cleo
trio cars which now cross the bridge weigh,
when empty, between seven and ten tons,
and when loaded with people this load
reaches a maximum of seventeen tons.
The bridge was not designed to carry such
a heavy load. In addition. the draw is
archaic, the bridge unsightly. much too
narrow, the entire width of the roadway
being taken up with car tracks, and totally
inadequate to meet the demands of public
travel, in consequence of which I have the
honor to recommend that it be replaced
with modern structure of ample width
This recommendation has been made each
year since 1887, and the conditions de-
Scribed in each of these several reports are
today aggravated. The present bridge was
constructed In 1875. Its condition is no.
toriously bad and worthy Of serious con-
sider2tion.
