General Hughes Before the Committee
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.0
Washington March S.-Senator Patter-
son continued his questioning of Gen.
eral Hughes in the Senate Committee on
the Philippines today, taking up the be-
ginning of hostilities in February. 1899
The witness repeated his previous state
ment that the Hrst shot had been fired
by an American. Senator Patterson
asked Gen. Hughes what he had meant
when he said upon hearing the firing at
first: THE thing is on" After some
sparring between the two the witness
said:
Il felt that they had made an attack
Upon us and that we must defend our
slves."
did you mean simply that you should
defend yourselves or that you should
make an attack also?"
Il had no intention beyond what 1 have
stated
Mr.. Patterson then sought to bring out
the fact that the attack was made before
the Filipinos were ready and Gen.
Hughes admitted that the Filipino mill
tary leaders were absent in a conference
at Maiolos. He said that hostilities were
so active the next day that there was
no opportunity to attempt to heal the
breach
Gen. Hughes said the Filipinos made
their best fight on the 9Th of February,
1899. He denied that in subsequent
battles they were slaughtered, but many
were killed when cornered and continued
to fight when they should surrender
number of questions were asked by
Senator Dubois on points covered by the
Philippine Government Bill now pend
ing IN the committee. In reply to these
Gen. Hughes said he thought that white
labor would be a total failure in the
Philippines and that other labor would
be necessary there. The natives are, he
said. physically weak and lazy and the
witness thought the only resort would be-
to continue to import Chinese and Japan
ese labor for the present at least
Gen. Hughes also expressed the opin
ion that it would be well to encourage
negro emigration to the Philippines from
the United States He added that the
colored troops taken to Samar mixed
readily with the natives and that MANY
of the latter shed tears when the colored
soldiers We're removed. Next to the
American negro he thought the Japan
csc most desirable. The Chinese labor
was the most available, = but there was
a prejudice against them on the part of
the Filipin0s.
Speaking of the American Chamber of
Commerce of Manila, he said it is COM
posed largely of Englshmen and other
Europeans. who did not care a snap
for American interests"

MAY BE A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Setting Forth the Views Of the President on
Reciprocity.
(By the Associated Press.j

Washington, March 8.-Speaker Hen
derson and Chairman Payne, of the
Ways and Means Committee, and Senator
Allison, member of the Finance Com
mittee, called at the White House today
presumably in relation to the pending
controversy over Cuban reciprocity.
There was the most positive declination
to discuss the purposes of the call. 1t
was said, however, that the President
had in no way changed his attitude fav-
orable to- reciprocity In this connec-
tion there were renewed intimations of
a special message which would set forth
the Presidents views on the subject.
The Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee favorable to Gu
ban reciprocity have held long confer
ences to perfect their organization for
carrying forward the contest In con-
nection with these conferences the belief
has gained ground that there would be
special message, if it proved to be
necessary.
There was renewed talk of compromise
today, one report being that u per cent.
reciprocity might be substituted for 90
per cent. Both sides, however. denied
the l. per cent compromise story.
The plan of having a committee visit
Cuba and investigate the needs for re-
ciprocity was revived during the day and
was discussed as a possible solution, al
though there was no indication that
those in authority were ready to accept
the plan.

THURsToN RIFLES BIRTHDAY
Ninth Anniversary of the OrganiEa-
ton of the Famous Company
Celebrated Last Night.

II was nine years ago last night that the
Thurston Rifles, later Company L OF the
Nebraska National Guards. was organized
at the old Athletic clubs rooms on Harvey
street, and the anniversary was duly and
very properly celebrated at the Rides
room, Eighteenth and Harvey streets, last
night. Many OF the original roster were
In attendance.
There wasn't any dancing and nobody
played tiddledewinks, but It must be con-
fessed that a few of the erstwhile bronzed
warriors plunged into the mad revels Of
ping pong.
Captain Stockham, who was general over
seer OF the destinies Of the boys during
the real campaigning, was on hand, life
size. last night. but II developed upon one
"Tubby" Stokes to do the leading. because
''Tubby" knows a lot OF songs and things
that made the night a memorable one,
much like the companies Of their dads. and
added to the general good cheer. Sergeant
Joe Little, who had discharge papers with
recommendations a mile long on the back,
did the "pleased-to-serve-you" stunt and
made a real hit. But then real hits" we're
numerous, because everybody was in his
best humor and willing to do anything the
boys desired. Last year there was no re-
union, but the success OF this years ef-
fort was such that erstwhile Captain
Stockham declared that never again, so
long as the boys live, will the anniversary
be permitted to pass unobserved.

ISLANDERS GENERALLY LOYAL
Omcers Report on Filipinos and but
Few Have Grave Faults to
Find.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The military
information division Of the War depart
ment has received detailed descriptions Of
the posts and stations Of United States
troops in the Philippines.
Most Of them represent the inhabitants
as peaceful. law-abiding and loyal, but
there are several notable exceptions.
In regard to Corona, Tarlac province,
Luzon, Captain NJ. F. Howell, Eleventh in
fantry, reports that the inhabitants are ap-
parently obedient. respectful and possibly
friendly, but undoubtedly critically dis
posed and treacherous. He adds that they
are greedy.
TIL inhabitants OF Tuy Batangas prov
ince. Luzon, are reported by First Lieu
tenant F Skiohaski. Philippine Scouts, to
be very unfriendly and untrustworthy."
According to Captain r. Bryan. Fifty
eighth infantry, the inhabitants Of Sanisi-
dro Nueva Ecija, Luzon, are semi-civilized
mild tempered and lazy. The conditions
are similar to the feudal ages in Europe.
Abstract justice is little understood. Their
loyalty to the United States is uncertain.
Grasshoppers have injured corn and early
rice and the rlnderpest killed many cara
Dos. Surro has also killed many horses.
For these reasons and the ravages of war
the country in the Vicinity OF Sanisidro is
backward.
