SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Read to the Young People
of Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, May 3f.-President
Roosevelt received an invitation to come
to Brooklyn next Friday as the guest
Of the Sunday School Union and review
the anniversary parade in which over
10000 children. representing 225 schools,
come to Brooklyn's most characteristic
annual celebration. but he sent this let
ter to Chief Marshal Alfred Tilly. which
will be read to the children during the
anniversary exercises In the churches
aud at Prospect Park:
my dear Mr.. Tilly:
II thank you for your letter Of the 5th.
I am glad to have a chance to express
through you to the children Of the Sun
day School Union how glad am to know
that they are fitting themselves to be-
come in the future Christian citizens Of
this great Republic.
Sturdy. self-respecting morality, a
readiness to do the rough work of the
world without flinching and at the same
time an instant response to every call
on the spirit Of brotherly love and
neighborly kindness-these qualities
must rest at the foundation Of good citi-
zenship here in this Republic. II 1t is
to achieve the greatness we hope for 1t
among the nations of mankind.
Therefore. I send greetings to the
children, and send greetings especially
to those who are training them In these
difficult duties.
Sincerely yours.

ture. although preparations were begun
as early as October, 1895. They were
made by Aguinaldo. The leaders were
to organize the army and the militia
In Manila and capture the Americans
on the outskirts Of the city, between
the two fires.
For the past two years the question
Of who fired the first shot had been
dead issue, and the only opinions upon
the subject were ?reiudiced The is
sue now was how to heal the wounds
caused by that shot.
Senior Beuncamino described the KILL
ing OF Luna. Aguinaldo. he said. was
seventy-five miles away. He had gone
TO Luna's house in search OF him. and
Luna was by singular coincidence at
the home OF Aguinaldo.
He declined to say who did Kill Luna.
saying that he could not do so without
reference to Aguinaldo. who was now
prisoner. and his political enemy. al
though not personally 80. He asked TO
be excused from answering. and his re-
quest was granted.
Luna's Death Killed Insurrection.
While the people were glad of Luna's
death. they deplored the method by
which it was accomplished. They feared
him because Of his cruelties. and on &C
count of his atrocities. Aguinaldo did
not agree with him. On the morning
he was killed Luna had given orders for
two executions. Still Luna had many
admirers. and with his death the spirit
of the insurrection died. The people be-
came weary Of 1t.
The Democratic members Of the COM
mittee. especially Mr.. Jones and Mr..
Patterson. examined Senor Buencamino
for more than two hours, and developed
many interesting statements. the most
important of which was his declaration
that the Filipino people want annexa-
ton. and will not be satisfied with any
thing less, and that they will be un-
friendly IL 1t is not accorded.
At $50 the committee adjourned IN
I'll Tuesday. when Senior Buencamino
Will. continue his statement.
The Washington times., 1902-06-01

Senior Buencamino replied that to his
positive knowledge he had not been
there tor seven years. Mr.. Cooper.
thereupon insisted that whatever he
could say would be nothing but hear
say evidence. After considerable con-
troversy 1t was decided by party vote
not to summon Lopez
Senior Buencamino said that Governor
Taft was the idol of the Filipinos, al
though he himself did not enjoy his full
confidence. because Governor TAFT re-
garded his ideas as radical.
He said that the Filipinos wanted 10
become American citizens. but they
would accept the pending bill IL theI
could not get more. They had submitted
completely to the will Of Congress.
He described at some length the bene-
fits which had been wrought since Amer
lean occupation. There are now, he SAID,
500 schools with 100 American teach
ers and 100000 children attending the
public schools. He thought the salaries
of the American teachers ought TO be
doubled, and that there should be more
of them.
Under Spanish Regime.
Under the Spanish regime there were
not TO exceed 600 schools and not more
than 10000 pupils. The great need Of
the people was education; he estimated
that not more than Is per cent could
read and write.
He described at some length the char
acter and institutions. the religious be-
liefs and conditions Of the Philippines
before the Spaniards came. Morally the
Filipinos were as good as any other peo-
pie; they we're honest and had respect
for persons and property, but they had
no political education. The Spaniards
had never taught them politics except
with arms in their hands.
1t was on this account that he did
not believe the people fit to grapplc with
problems Of state. He recommended
the establishment Of universities for
higher education, and an appropriation
OF 100000 for scholarships to enable
Filipino students to study the sciences
in the United States.
In answer to question by Chairman
Cooper. he said that permanent Amer
lean occupation was necessary for the
welfare of the islands.
He made the assertion that there
we're not more than 100 insurgents at
present In the islands, since the sur
render of Malvar. He would not have
been able to have said that. he de-
clarei. had Malvar been captured.

surgent leader as against his capture
In the case Of surrender, he said, it
settled a political question. bu, when a
leader was captured 1t was only vic
tory for the army
Senior Buencamino went at some
length into discussion OF the condi-
tions at the time OF the outbreak of the
insurrcction. and was questioned con-
slderably as to who fired this first shot.

The consensus Of opinion today was
that the machine was freak. built for

not look over-stronc. but n story was told
that on Friday, In private trials over the
course. the machine had done the mile
In from 45 to as seconds, so no fears for
II were entertained.
The catastrophe happened so quickly
that those on the east side Of the read.
petrlhed a moment before by the danger
OF those opposite, had no time 10 think
OF themselves. The first man hit was
Mr. Bowen. and he was sent straight
up in the air.
He does not know how far up he went,
but when he came down, 1t was on his
feet. and he was not badly hurt at all.
Those who saw Bowen hit. were certain
that he 1ad been KILLED. Mr.. Featner-
stone WAS standing right behind Bowen
and he disappeared under the machine.
Knocked Down by Machine.
score Of others were knocked down
before the machine hit the stumps and
went over. Some of these were struck
by the machine itself; others were
knocked down by those who were hurled
7en'-st them. A dozen who were thrown
to the ground sprang UP uninjured. but
badly scared, and ran down the road as
fast as their legs would carry them.
The rest of the people on the east side
Of the road, including many consider
able distance away. were thrown into a
panic. and il was not until the machine
rolled over on its side that people were
reassrred.

COL. JOHN T. TATE Is
MISSING FROM HOME
Former Census Clerk Alb
sent Over a Week.
Disappearance Causes His Friends Much
Uneasiness and They Have Ap-
pealed to the Police.

Col. John r. Tate. n Confederate vet
eran from Alabama. who had been en-
ployed in the dlsbursing office OF the
Census for nearly two years, disappear
ed from his boarding house at All Sixth
Street northwest on May % and has not
been seen since.
His absence has caused his friends
much uneasiness. and at the request Of
Hon. Henry d. Clayton, Representative
from the Third Alabama district in Con-
gress, Captain Boardman has detailed
Sergeant McNamee, of the Headquar-
ters' detective force, to make a search
for the missing man.

OF age, and is described as being six
Feet tall. of medium build. with gray hair
and smooth shaven. When last seen he
wore gray or black suit. with large
soft hat. and it is thought he had con-
siderable money with him.
Mr.. r. II. Perry, OF 1919 P Street
northwest. who is also from Alabama.
reported the matter to the police. and
since that time every effort to locate
Colonel Tate has been unavailing. Col
orcI Tate secured his appointment to
the force at the Census through Repre-
sentative Clayton. and was employed
there continuously until about three
weeks ago. when he was let out with the
reduction of the force.
Was to Return Home.
He had intended returning to his home
in Alabama, but remained here at the
advice OF his Congressman. who had
h,s.es of securing another place for him.
Colonel Tate was last seen at his home
on Friday morning week ago. For sew
eral days prior to that time he had not
remained much at home.
1t is known that the missing man visit

Senior BueBcamino made reference to
Sixto Lopez which caused a spirited col
loquy between Mr. Cooper. the chairman
Of the committee, on one side, and Mr.
Williams Dem. Ill and Mr. Patterson
(Dem., TENN en- the other.
Senior Beuncamino. among other
things. said that the seat OF opposition
to American sovereignty had been in the
province of Batangas as the center of
antagonism to Spanish rule had been in
Cavite. Agcncillo, Lopez. and num-
her OF other leaders were natives OF
that province. These men encouraged

Americans.
Energies Misdirected.
They were honest and Intelligent men.
he considered. but were exertlng their
energies in the wrong direction. senor
Lopez, he said. held views directly on
posed to his own.
This led Mr.. Jones TO move that Senor
Lopez be summoned as a witness.
Mr.. Jones said that his understanding
had been that Senior Buencamino came
before the committee to make a state
ment in regard to the civil government
bill. Instead. he had devoted the great
er portion Of his time TO a discussion Of
the conditions which had brought on the
insurrection and TO occurrences during
the progress of the war.
He thought that IL the House commit.
tee was going into consideration OF
conditions In tho islands as the Senate
committee had done, that 1t would be
well to have both sides heard, and there
fore he asked that Lopez be called.
Mr.. williams and Mr.. Patterson ar
gued along the same line, calling attcn-
tion TO the fact that Senior Buencamino
had made a statement as to who Aired
the first shot of the insurrection. mat
ter which was in controversy, and
therefore 1t would be well TO hear the
other side.

Wis.,, "if had thought that it would
have so offended the minority to have
the American army exonerated by
man who was there and on the other
side, | certainly would no; have called
Mr. Buencamino."

ton without a reply" exclaimed Mr.
Williams. with considerable feeling. ut
is most unjust assertion. and / Sc
that If we are going to have an !nvesti-
cation it ought to be fair irvestisa-
ton. and both sides ought TO be heard" ="
No Reflection on the Army.
Mr.. Patterson insisted that he had
never made 4 speech or a statement re-
liccting upor the American army. and
he considered Mr.. Cooper's remark in
the raturc OF an insult. Mr.. Cooper said
he did not intend It as such.

The machine came in for good deal
OF adverse criticism before it entered
the trials because OF its construction.
After the accident several experts who
examined the steering gear said they
had never seen anything like 1t before.

dence to try to control machine OF
such size and power with such an ap-

Fear Further catastrophes.

Mr.. Rouse revisited the locality a
few months later, after the earthquake.
and observed the ruin which the gels
mic shock had created. He said that
he could well appreciate how the poor
people in the West Indies are living
in constant terror lest the mountains
will fall on their heads.
The terrible earthquake which leveled
the buildings In San Jacinto and caused
SO much excitement throughout Cali
fornia, occurred about ABS o'clock
Christmas morning. 1899. The shock was
followed by others at intervals for two
or three months. Mr.. Rouse states that
he saw the peak of the mountain refer
red to ouivering and trembling durins
Christmas day.
IL seemed to be standing. however. for
a long time after. In January following.
he noted deep rumblings in the direction
OF the San Jacinto. and on one day In
particular there was something like a
sharp report accompanied by severe
shaking down the valley.
His Home Wrecked.
In his home, about four miles from the
mountain, the windows we're broken and
dishes broken from the shock He says
that he observed an hour or SO after
the tremor cloud OF dust which almost
hid the mountain from view and he is OF
the opinion that 1t was then he spur OF
the San Jacinto fell.
Mr.. Rouse went up the mountain In
March and then saw the havoc which
had been wrought. The manzinta treo
TO which he had hitched his horse a
few months before was lying 200 feet
below uprooted. Other familiar land
marks were gone, and In the place of
the trail he had blazed was precipitous
precipice where the whole side OF the
mountain had been torn of and had
disappeared.
The phenomenon Ia explained by Mr..
Rouse as being in the nature OF land
slide OF giant proportions. The rock
which is left In place is a bed Of granite
ground as smooth as glass. The over
lying stratum was Of sandstone, and
he thinks that the repeated Earrings OF
the seismic shocks started the upper
rocks loose and by rupture above the
enormous mass was precipitated down
the slope into the valley below.
Stream of Lava.
Mr.. Rouse states that low down, near
the point where the granite dips into
the mass of debris. there is an appear
ance of lava. He speculates that there
might have been something like an open
ing in the slope of the mountain, and
that the rocks above may have been
loosened by the bursting forth of
stream OF lava. II SO, the traces OF the
volcano were buried out OF sight bv the
rocks which fell and covered it up, but
he claims that the trees and vegetation
at a certain point show the effects OF
great heat.
Mr.. Rouse declares that no one who
has not seen II can have any idea OF the
enormous forces at work in earthquake
shocks and seismic disturbances. which
literally start the mountains from their
foundations and fill the air with ashes
and molten rock. The ordinary hurri-
cane or tornado he regardS as tame IN
comparison.

BENJAMIN r. Rouse. formerly eri-
ployed by the forestry commission OF
California, spent q few days IN Wash
ington last week. and he thinks he can
more fully appreciate the dread which
actualcs the inhabitants OF the Island
of Martinique than the ordinary person
in the United States.
Mr.. Rouse told story OF noun
tain in the San Jacinto valley, which he
saw before and after i was prec.pi-
tated downward several hundred fee. by
the earthquakes which shook the city of
San Jacinto about three years ago.

The mountnin. one Of The giant spurs
Of the San Jacirto, lies today elevei

with immen5e crevasses a1d cracks run

Mr.. Rouse states that he visited the
mountain in company with Mr.. Grant !.

for the purpose of inspecting the forest
growth. After laboring UP the side as
far as the horses could go, they were
