MAJOR WALLER GOING EAST
Omcer Who Executed "KiII and Burn"
Order Passes Through
Omaha.

Major Llttleton Waller, the man who
faced a court-martial in the Philippines
for executing the famous order OF General
Jacob Smith to kill and burn" passed
through Omaha yesterday at the head Of
a marine corps consisting Of FIVE other
ofhcers and 200 enlisted men. They were
on their way from San Francisco to the
government navy yards at Brooklyn.
No e~xertion Of faith is required to be-
lieve Major Waller when he says he is
thoroughly tired out from the long and
severe ordeal of warfare in the Philippine
islands. He looks all Of 1t. 1t is no
wonder. when he relates a part OF his
thrilling experiences, that his chief object
now Is TO seek rest and relief from any
thing that pertains to military duty.
ut is not necessary to ask me II /
really did carry out General Smiths order
to kill and burn or at least It Is use
less that ! answer that question, for I
have admitted the fact time and time
again, and my first affirmation was not
made in the United States. l obeyed the
order given me and have not yet ques-
toned the sanity of that order" said the
soldier. 4
OF his work in the islands the major saw
no reason for remorse. His conviction in
the injustice Of the charges preferred
hbaAh9N hAht VI III NIN HCIuof MS dDSO-
lutte satisfaction OF his own conduct
throughout the entire campaign he anirms
with great emphasis, but he ~withholds harsh
criticism for the making Of the charges.
"Oh. yes interiected Waller, helping
his timid interviewer out Of an embarrass-
ing situation. 81 really was charged with
murder, plain murder. You needn't be
backward In asking me that question" But
the major looked anything but a murderer.
His appearance is that OF a soldier and
nothing more.
Major Waller repeated what he has said
upon former occasions. that Samar is about
the hottest place he has ever yet come
across. He expressed Il by saying that
H is a summer resort beside Samar.'
A long and p~erilous campaign OF Filipino
hghting in this torrid island has empha-
sized the majors nifty some odd years.

Delegates from Omaha and adjacent Ne
braska points and from Iowa to the Inter
national Sunday school convention, which
meets in Denver June 25, VIII leave omaha
on a special Burlington train In two sec
tions. the first section of which departs at
6:15 the afternoon before. Going through
Lincoln, this train will connect with the
Evangel special carrying the Missouri

run from Lincoln out in three sections, the
first division leaving Lincoln at 1880 p. H..
Pullman car accommodations straight

note a very large attendance upon the con-

We are in receipt Of the first authentic

DOM" It is by a man we'll known all over
the English speaking world. Michael Dav-
tit. The heroic struggles OF the little col
ony in South Africa for liberty reach a
sympathizing spot in many hearts and we
believe this account will be turned to and
consulted by many as an authoritative his
tory Of the war. Mr.. Davitt is re-
sponsible for the adoption by the Irish
members OF Parliament Of the policy OF
open manifestation Of sympathy with the
Boer lighters for freedom" AS member
for South Mayo, he inaugurated this policy
by resigning his seat in Parliament a few
days after war was declared In October
1899, to go to the scene OF military con-
hict in South Africa. There he met the
leading Boer generals and President steyn'
whom he greatly admires as the wisest
of statesmen and noblest Of patriots. HaV-

The misfortune Of Kruger's trust In politics

pei, and the consequent failure to occupy
Cape Colony until 1t was too late; the
pity of Joubert's mistaken generosity that
lost Ladysmith, and the tragedy OF stub
born Cronje's end, who, had he followed

George Grossmith's Successful Program
at New Willard.

George Grossmith, the English enter
tainer. made his first and only appearance
of the season in Washington last night in
the ballroom of the New Willard. and for
two hours the audience enjoyed one of the
most novel entertainments ever given in
this city.
Mr.. Grossmith Is the only artist of his
kind in this country who devotes an en-
tire evening to musical and humorous
story telling, and his recital last night
proved a great success.
His power OF imitation is. marvellous,
and he manifests a thorough knowledge
of the piano in many OF its most intricate
phases One of the chief charms of Mr..
Grossmith's work is the utter lack of self
consciousness. He is so natural and
gives his selections with so much grace
and ease that one torgets that his humor
is not wholly spontaneous.
The program last night was Il diversi-
fed one, and embraced almost every
branch of the art of entertainment that
could be mastered by the all of speech
and song.

MISS VALETTE'S RECITAL.
Program of German, English, and French
Songs Well Sung.

Miss Julie Valette. colorature soprano.
gave a recital at the Washington Club
last night, assisted by Miss Jeanie Ben
son. violiniste. Of New York, and Miss
Clara Moran. pianiste, of Washington.
Miss Valette was well received and sang
her numbers in pleasing style. While her
voice is capable of brilliant work its
quality is distinctly dramatic and she
gave several of her selections with much
dramatic force and feeling.
The program was made up of German,
French and English songs. and was thor
oughly enjoyed by those who attended.
Miss Benson created a pleasing impress
sion, and her rendition of Sarcastic s
Faust" fantasia was very effective. Miss
Moran. promising young pianiste of this
city. rendered several solos in good style.
