it would lead into war with the Fflipinos
would that treaty have received a single vote?
Mr.. Turner referred to the order Of General
Jacob H Smith, and said that it remained for
the American soldier the highest type of civili-
zation in quarrel not having the single ele-
ment of religious difference, prosecuted pro-
fessedly humanitarian grounds, to raise his
name to the height of bloody infamy. He char
acterized General Smith as "a monster in human
form" who had devoted an entire province to a
mercileSS determination
In response to an inquiry by Mr. Dolver as
to whether any women children had been put
TO death under that order Mr.. Turner replied
that evidence showed that twenty men had been
Mr.. Dolliver declared that the men had been
shot not under the order of General Smith, but
on other grounds.
Mr.. Turner urged that Major Waller had
pleaded the order of General Smith Justifca-
tion for his execution of the Samar guides, and
had been acquitted on that plea. He asserted
that it would be impossible, despite the fairy
tale Of amity which constantly is being dinned
into ears" for the United States to govern
the islands without the constant presence there
of great army.
Mr.. Turner referred to a special dispatch
which appeared in The Washington POST of to-
day under date of Lynn Mass, and which,
the authority Of the Rev w. II. Walker. told
Of the execution of 900 Filipino prisoners by
battalion Of American troops because there was
not sufficient food for them. The Rev. DR..
Walker told the story on the authority of his
son, ]. B. Walker private in Company I, 18th
United States Infantry.
Mr.. Turner said he did not vouch for the truth
fulness Of the story, but felt that it ought be
investigated.
Mr.. Lodge replied that he would investigate
the matter, although he felt il was utterly with
out foundation.
Lust of dominion" said Mr.. Turner, greed of
conquest. overruled the sober judgment of the
American officials and drove us into this war
He strongly urged the Philippine Committee to
summon every witness who could possibly throw
any light ii. Addressing the committee, he
said: In view of the bloody stain on the Amer
ican ensign, if you do not shed light this stu
alton it will be because you dare not. You can
not escape the responsibility if you would. but
you make partial atonement If you WILL
MR.. HOAR DEFENDS THE COMMITTEE.
Mr. Hoar, who introduced the resolution pro-
viding for the investigation which the Philip
pine Committee is making defended the
committee in the conduct of it's inquiry He said
that vast amount of valuable information had
already been furnished by the committee and
he doubted not that other information still
would be furnished. He urged that in fairness
and justice some Filipinos ought to be called to
give their testimony before the committee in de-
fence of the charges which had been made
against them. He was assured that the inVes-
tigation was in the hands of honorable and
humane American Senators, who were just and

and another beaten the chest with a stick
to make them give information. He said the
insurgents engaged in similar work. and gave
an instance of an American soldier being cut TO
pieces with bolos. He testified that the native
prisoners were we'll treated. the sick cared for
and the food furnished nearly the that
furnished TO the American troops.
Answering question by Senator Culberson
the witness admitted that in only one instance
had he seen the water cure" and said that
he had not seen Filipinos subjected to harsh
treatment aside from that. He qualified this
statement by saying that Filipino prisoners were
on one occasion utilized to carry officers wives
in bamboo chairs seven miles from Santa Cruz
TO Magdalena. He told of the burning of native
houses, in one of which a crippled native
woman The order to burn was issued by Lieu
tenant Merchant. The women. he said were
elected from the houses and left to sleep on
the ground. He described other instances of
burning. and, answering an inquiry by Senator
Lodge. said that the insurgents engaged in SINH
lar work.
The witness said that Filipino prisoners were
well treated by the American soldiers and
with the exception of roast beef occasionally
same food. The sick among the Filipino pris-
oners also were well cared for. AS for him
self he had treated the Philippine people as we'll
as he would other people under the same circum-
stances. This testimony related TO Batangas
Province. Mr.. Hughes said that he had left
that province before General Bell issued his re-
concentrate order.
Senator Lodge also laid before the committee
a list of over three hundred officers and en-
listed men in the United States army who have
been tried by court martial for offences against
natives, also list of natives tried by military
commissions for cruelties to United States SOL
dlers and violation Of the laws of war.

DENIED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
NO PROPOSITION TO DECORATE DEWEY
AND MILES MADE TO THE
PRESIDENT.
IRY TELEGRAPH TO TIE rR1RrNE. l


Washington, May Ga categorical denial is
authorized at the White House of the state
ment published this morning that President
Roosevelt has intimated TO the French Govern
ment that he does not think it desirable for that
government to confer the Cross of the Legion of
Honor on Admiral George Dewey and Lieuten-
ant General Nelson A. Miles" The French Am
bassador. NJ. Jules Cambon, was said to have
conveyed TO the President several weeks ago
notification that his government desired TO con-
fer this distinction in consideration of the great
services rendered to the world by Admiral
Dewey and General Miles, and in commemora-
tion Of the ceremonies connected with the un-
yelling of the Rochambeau statue on May "A.
The President is said to have received the an
nouncement with surprise" So far as Admiral
Dewey was concerned. he is reported to have
said, there would be no objection, but il could
not be thought of in the case of General Miles
Then the President is alleged to have taken
the proposition under consideration for a few
days, and when the ambassador next called at
the White House. it is said he was informed
that the decision had been reached not TO permit
France to confer the Cross of the Legion of
Honor upon either officer
These statements declared to be absolutely
without foundation, for the simple reason that
formal offer of the decorations was ever
clined. This is the authority of every one
concerned in the matter 1t may be said further
that neither General Miles Admiral Dewey
was aware that any proposition had ever
been made to decorate them until they heard OF
il to-day.
