Washington. May 1.-Aguinaldo. the
Filipino leader. was the special sub
iect OF discussion in the Senate to-day.
As soon as the Philippine Government
bill was taken up Mr.. Carmack. OF
Tennessee. resumed his criticism OF the
Philippine committee because OF its
refusal to call Aguinaldo and other
Fuipinos as witnesses. He maintained
that as reflections by witnesses had
been cast upon the character OF Agui-
naldo he ought to be permitted to ap-
pear before the committee TO defend
himself
Mr.. Carmacl's contention was sharp
" combatted by Mr.. Foraker, Of Ohio;
Mr. McComas, of Maryland, and ar.
Burton, of Kansas. Mr.. Culberson, OF
Texas. in support OF a statement by
/ Mr.. Carmack that the War Depart-
ment suppressed information and falsi-
fed the situation concerning the
! Philippines presented a letter from the
Secretary OF War. which he thought
was proof OF the Tennessee Senator's
assertion. The Secretary stated in the
letter that it was not practicable TO
| supply the information requested as
| no special account was kept OF Philips
l pine war expenditures ana IL Wouiu re-
| ouire the service of large force OF
clerks 90 work out the information de-
