Washington, March 11-General
Hughes continued his testimony be.
fore the Philippines committee today.
In reply to question by Senator Pat
tison he said that the death rate
among the Spanish prisoners was far
beyond what it should be. The inves.
tigation proved that the prisoners were
so debilitated by reason of their long
stay in the heat and by their military
service that they were unable to rally
from any illness which attacked them.
He said he had urged the return of
United States troops to the United
States after two years service.

Fifty Men and Women Hurt on Trolley
In New York.
New York, March IA Madison
avenue car, on which were almost 100
persons, has met with a peculiar ac.
cident. About so of the passengers
were injured, none of them seriously.
A new building is in course of erec-
tion at Forty-fOurth street and Madi.
son avenue, at which portable host.
ing engine is used, the engine being in
the street. 1t stood close to the track.
The motorman stopped the car as
he approached and the engineer told
him to wait until he could move the
machine. The car conductor thought
there was room to pass and ordered
the motorman to proceed. This he
did and the car shaved off a valve
which extended from the boiler.
The suddenly released steam broke
the windows on the side of the car
next to the engine and covered the
passengers, scalding them on hands
and faces. Others were bruised by
being crushed and thrown to the
ground during the ensuing panic.
