a miscellaneous assortment of notions"
he began.
Il recognize" he continued, "the ut
ter futility of saying anything against
this bill 1 recognized that fact years
ago when the pork in the barrel was
only $S,00o0.J.
How manfestly It was impossible to
make headway against it now that the
appropriation aggregates $60O0O,0OO. At

Of the pending bill something to COM
mand-a rare thing in my experience"
Mr. Hepburn commended the commit

wasteful expenditures in certain direc-
tons, pointing out the abandonment of
further improvements of the Missouri
river as q final fufillment of predictions
made Is years ago.
He said that congress should set a
definite limit on the depth of water

bors-30 feet, for instance, and place a
limit upon naval architecture.
Otherwise, he declared there would
be no end to the depth OF water which

HE EXPLAINS HIS STEWARDSHIP
AND MILITARY CONTROL OF
THE PHILIPPINES.
EXPECTED FURTHER TROUBLE
Believes That It Would Take One Hun
dred Years of Education Before the
Filipinos Would Be Capable Of
Self Government
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, March 1S.-Major Gen.
eral Otis again appeared before the sem
ate committee on the Philippines TO-DAY.
When he left the Philippines in May,
1900, General Otis said that the army nad
dispersed all of Aguinaldo's army; quiet
prevailed during the months of May ana
June and hardly shot was fired. II
was safe to go to all parts of Luzon and
other islands and very large trade had
been established.
A civil government had been set up.
also the supreme court and courts OF
first instance in seven Of the 10 provinces
of LuZon.
General Otis, in answering question
by Senator Culberson, said he never
trusted native officers because they were
too cruel to their men. He said he could
trust their loyalty but they treated their
captives with too much cruelty.
They We're as bad as the insurgents,
he said.
When he left the Philippines, he said,
"the war; as war;" had ceased.
Answering a question by Senator Hale
General Otis said he saw no difficulty in
Withdrawing a material number OF
troops from the islands. The native
foces, he declared to be very necessary
and he said there was no peace in Ma
Mia until the native police was organ
ized.
Expected Trouble.
General Otis said that when he left
Manila he apprehended further trouble
because thee was a certain element
which dominated the ignorant classes
The great majority, however, wanted
peace. No armed bands of any inn
portance, he said, were opposed to the
United States at the time.
The troops of the United States, he
said, had treated the Filiplnos with the
greatest kindness. The only statement
of harsh treatment had been investi-
gated.
by the Spaniards and the European Off
GERS for the humanity we exercised"
AS to the capacity of the Filpinos for
government, he said that Aguin-
aldos former secretary of state had told
him that it would take 100 years to ac-
compllsh this.
General Otis said that the Filipinos
were not capable of self-government.
Replied to Questions.
General Otis testified In response to
questions by Senator Rawlins, that he
knew very little of the correspondence
between General Merritt and Agulnaldo.
but he recalled Aguinaldo's reply to
communication referring to an agree
ment that the insurgent force should
withdraw to certain point designated.
He had himself directed Agunaldo to
withdraw to the suburbs of Manila, out
side the American defenses according
to the terms of the protocol with Spain.
This was not only military necessity,
but In accordance with right and duty
No nation In the world, said he, ex-
cept the United States, ''would have al
lowed those people to have hemmed us
In the way they did" The order for their
withdrawal was made solely in the in
terests of peace.
The dual occupancy of Manila, he said,
he considered dangerous one He based
his whole action, he said, on the pro-
tocol as he understood 1t.
At 12 o'clock the committee adjourned
until tomorrow.
