Gen. Funston.

Washington, May A.-Soon after the
senate convened today a resolution was
passed directing the secretary of the
navy to furnish the senate with de-
tailed items under the head: Pay OF
Navy"
Consideration Of the Philippine gov
eminent bill was resumed. Senator
Hoar addressing the senate in opposi-
ton to the present policy Of the gov
eminent In the Philippines. Great in
terest was manifested In the utteranc
OF the Massachusetts senator both on
the DOR and galleries. You are fight
ing for sovereignty" he said. You are
fighting for a principle Of eternal DOM
inion over hat people and that Is the
only question IN issue In the conflict"
When II had been determined to resort
to force in the Philippines he a the
government took upon itself the natural
consequences Of that decision. The re-
suit OF the conflict at arms OF such a
character inevitably was there would
be cruelty on one side and retaliation
by cruelty on the other and the respon-
sibility rested upon those who made
the DOlicy.

He was to discuss and denounc.
what seemed to him one OF the
most wicked and foolish chapters
In hiEtory. yet he was compelled to adj
NIT the men who were responsible for
II were neither wicked nor foolish. Mr..
Hoar maintained his conscience would
not permit him to follow these men and
his conscience was the only authority
he felt bound to obey in the matter. He
said the share which II was proposed
to give the Filippinos IN the proposed
scheme OF government was an admis-
sion that many Of them were At for self
government. The United States was
fighting to secure a dependency, not a
republic. a government of our making
and not a government of the Filippinos
making.
He compared the situation in Cuba
with that in the Philippines and de-
manded to know which was the better.
Mr.. Hoar recited a chapter of history
Of this country which he said showed
the present policy OF government was in
contradiction with the Monroe doctrine.
1t was in contradiction of the declara-
ton OF independence. He said II the
present way was followed the declara-
ton OF independence would be repealed
and nothing would be left Of the Mon
roe doctrine except the principle Of
brutal s~clfShneSs.

Says Flag Is Emblem OF Torture.

IhlS government had erected q re-
public In Cuba and a despotism in the
Philippines. Six hundred millions OF
treasure and TO- 900 American lives have
been sacrificed in that endeavor. In
the Philippines the American flag has
been mad the emblem OF sacrilege and
burning of homes and the horror of
the water torture. He believed our Of
fcers In the general to be humane.
but in some cases they a carried
on your warfare with a mixture of
American ingenuity and Castilian
cruelty" What have your ideals cost
your" inquired Senator Hoar. For
the Philippines you have a to repeal
the declaration of independence. For
Cuba you have had to reafiirm 1t to
give 1t new luster. For the Philippines
you have had to onver the Monroe
doctrine into a doctrine of mere selfish
ness. For Cuba you have acted on II
and indicated 1t. In Cuba you have
the eternal gratitude of free people. In
the Philippines o have hatred and
sullen submission Of a s~ubjugated peo-
pie. From Cuba you nave brought
home nothing but glory. From the
Philippines you have brought home
nothing Of glory"
Referring to the cruelties committed
In the Philippines, Senator Hoar said
he believed the American soldiers were
10 pldNS lli humane us eve llNeQ.
They had done simply what always
would be done In like conditions. The
chief guilt was upon the heads of those
who created the conditions.
CrIticises Funston's Promotion.
After reviewing briefly the capture of
A~guinaldo by Funston by methods
which he sharply criticised, Senator
Hoar expressed his belief the senate
did not know what 1T was doing when
1t consented to Funston's promotion
and intimated the result might have
been different If the senate had been
fully cognizant of all the facts. Ad-
verting to the horrors" which have
occurred In the Philippines, Senator
Hoar said: II hope and believe they
were unknown to the war department.
l know they were unknown to Presi-
dent Roosevelt n President McKin-
ley" He did not believe, however, that
the statement the war had been con-
Quoted with ~unexampled humanity on
our part would he accepted by the peo-
pie. He denounced the order alleged
to have been given by General Smith
and laid particular stress upon the
horrors Of recommendation camps which
he likened to the dreadful scenes I'm
Andersonville prison during the civil
war. He demanded these things cease
and the administrator declare on what
eternal principle IT would act in the
Philippines. He believed it would be
impossible to absolutely pacify the
Philippines. In conclusion Senator
Hoar believed better council yet would
prevail thar now seemed to exist.

The Democratic members of
Congress who are objecting to anti
anarchy legislation because it is
against state rights, are putting that
doctrine to bad use. Attemps on
the lives of national officers can be
construed only as crimes against the
nation.
1t is gratifying to note that among
the famine conditions said to be
threatening other countries of the
world, there are only two that are
menacing the United States. One
is famine of railroads to hanl the
cars, in spite of the increased mile
age of the past few years, and the
other is famine of cars to haul the
produce, in spite of the fact that the
shops are working night and day to
make up the deficit.
