WALLER HAS NO REGRETS.
"a Hovvling Wilderness Ia Home
From thezFar East.

San Francisco. June 14.-Maj. l.
W. Z. Waller, United States marine
corps, who arrived here on the trans
port Warren, which brought the rem
nant of the fighting Ninth infantry
into port, expressed emphatic views
in the matter of the war in the Phil
ippines. you can't stop the revo-
luton in the Philippines unless you
take the severest measures" said
Maj. Waller in an interview. you
would hate to see your wounded and
dead mutilated. 1 cannot describe
the fearful condition in which we
found some of the bodies of men
who were under my command
who were murdered by insurrectos.
! received both verbal and written or
ders from Gen. Jacob Smith to kill
all insurgents who were caught
armed or who refused to surrender.
1t was the only thing that could be
done, and 1 never questioned Gen.
Smiths orders with one exception.
This exception / refuse to state. A
fair estimate of the number of ma
tives killed by the men of my COM
mand would be 400 to 500. These
were all killed in battle with the eX-
ception of IL carriers, insurrectos
at heart, who were tried by court
martial and shot. There was only
one woman shot and she was only
slightly wounded. She happened to
be in the breastworks of fort my
men were storming. 81 have fought
in every country in the world except
Australia" said Maj. Waller, 'but
Samar-well, hell is a winter resort
compared to Samar. 1 left Samar
bowling wilderness. They tried to
make it that for us, but we made it
a bowling wilderness for them"

MET TERRIBLE FATE.
tured May 30 by Ladrones Were
Horribly Mutilated.

Manila, June 1.-THE bodies OF
khe sergeant, two corporals and four
brivGtes of the Fifth cavalry, which
were captured May 30 by ladrones
at Binangonan, Rial province, this
island, have been recovered. Most of
the bodies had been hewn limb from
limb and it was found impossible to
recognize four of the dead men. A
number of arrests in the matter have
been made and nine men have been
absolutely identified as belonging to
the band of ladrones which captured
the Americans. The identified men
included two members of the police
force of Teresa, Morong province.
The American soldiers were buried
yesterday together; it was impossf
Tie to make separate interment.

among their countrymen that the five
soldiers of the Fifth cavalry who

ron. This report has not been con-
frned by the American authorities
OF that district.

CONGRESS KNEW IT.
War Department Official Tells Of
the Cash Payment to Gomez ;
IL He Had Not Been Given an Income
Conditions fn Cuba Might Have
ParRlIeled Those I'm the
Philippines.

Washington, June 17.-SecretaIy
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment of money to Gen.
Gomez by Gen. Wood, during the
American occupation of Cuba, and
stands prepared to furnish what he
regards as the most convincing
proofs that the payments were die
tated by the wisest craftsmanship.
At the war department a high official
stated the position of the department
N the matter as follows:
''The conditions in Cuba two years
ago were precarious. Not a Cuban
believed that the United States gov
eminent ever would withdraw from
Cuba and the half-famished veterans
of the Cuban army were in a danger
GUS mood and clamoring for their
pay. Gen. Gomez was the head and
front of their army and had served
the revolutionary cause as its prin-
vipal leader without having received
a cent of pay. Gen. Wood thought,
and Secretary Root thought after
ward, that Gen. Gomez was enti-
tied to consideration; to home
which was supplied him and in which
he entertained his comrades and to
an income, which last might be set
down as a small offset to the money
due Gomez from the Cuban republic.
That the Cubans themselves regard
ed the matter in the same light was
shown by the passage by the pres
snt Cuban congress, among the very
Yrs of 70 re 80
liberal pension for Gen. Gomez. 1t
is believed that but for this assump-
ton of the costs of Gomez's living
expenses the conditions in Cuba must
have paralleled those in the Philip
pines and the United States govern
ment, after fighting Spain to secure
freedom for the Cubans, might have
been obliged to turn on them the
force of her army.
:, ~The necessity being present, in
Secretary Roots view, the only other
point was the legality and propriety
Of the payments. He soon satisfied
himself that there was not the slight
est doubt on that score. The mill
tary governor was obliged to assume
the responsibility for his disburse-
ments and to exercise his discretion.
Gen. Brooke did this and after him
Gen. Wood and Secretary Root now
fully approves of everything they
did, including the payments to Co
mez."
1t is pointed out at the war de-
partment as a curious fact that con-
gress has been in full possession of
the information that Gomez had
been receiving those payments for
no less than two years past. The
war department that far back sub
United to congress the full statement
of all expenses in Cuba and included
in the list was a statement of the
payments to Gen. Gomez.

Thirty-Two Thousand Troops at
Aldershot Monday.

London, June liking Edward,
who was attacked Sunday by lum-
bago, following chill contracted
while reviewing troops at Aldershot,
passed good night and is much bet
ter.
The indisposition of King Edward
and the incessant downpour of rain
combined to effeetually spoil the
grand review of troops at Aldershot
on Monday. The king did not leave
the royal pavilion and was represent
ed by the prince of Wales, who rode
to the saluting point accompanied
by the duke of Connaught and a bril-
liant staff, comprising several Indian
princes, the military attaches, Lord
Roberts, the commander-in-chief, and
the headquarters staff. Queen Alex
andra drove to the parade ground
in a closed carriage, with the princess
of Wales and the princess Victoria.
In other carriages at the saluting
point were the duchess of Connaught
and many of the notabilities who are
visiting England. More than $4,000
rain-soaked troops marched past the
heir to the throne.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
started for Windsor at Ais o'clock
Monday afternoon, in a motor car.
The king showed little trace of his
recent illness.

REMOVED FROM POLITICS.
Hereafter Fourth-Clsss Postmasters wiz
Not Be Disturbed ut Every Change
of Administration.

Washington, June 14.-Under the
recent ruling of Postmaster General
Payne the appointment of fourth
class postmasters has been taken out
of politics. This change is especially
gratifying to members of congress,
as well as those who now hold post
al office of this class. Retention in
Office depends now wholly upon good
behavior and attention to duty. Thus
fourth-class postmaster is not now
removed merely to. make room for
another SO long as the first ap-
pointee administers the duties of his
office faithfully and honestly.

ONLY ONE DISSENTS.
Taft Commfssion and the Pope's
Representatives Agree on Terms
for Friar Lands.

Rome, June 1.-THE complete sue
cess of the negotiations between
Judge Taft, governor of the Philip
pines, and the vatican on the subject
of the friar lands in those islands ap-
pears assured, four out of the five
cardinals composing the sub-commit-
tee of cardinals favoring the govern
or's proposals. Cardinal Steinhuber,
Jesuit, opposes them. After the
completion OF. the negotiations an
acute conflict is expected between
the vatican officials and the Filipino
religious orders regarding the dis
position of the money which the
United States will pay for the lands.
The vatican considers that the money
ought to be given to the propaganda
or society of cardinals having
the care and oversight of foreign
missions.

WOULD ANNEX CUBA.
Senator Elkins Thinks island Should
Be Admitted as State.
President Palma Opposes Rebate
Plan Proposed by Sugar Beet Sem
ators and President Roosevelt
May Negotiate Treaty.

Washington, June 16.-When the
senate met Saturday, Mr.. Elkins CIV:
Va.) introduced resolution provid-
for the annexation of Cuba and its
admission as a state Of the union.
Elkis is one of the ''insurgent" sena-
tors opposed to granting concessions
to Cuba.
The resolution grants the consent
of congress to the erection of the re-
public of Cuba as a state of the
union "to be called the state of Gu
ba with a republican form of govern
ment, to be adopted by the people
of said republic by deputies in con-
vention assembled with the consent
of the existing government" A con-
dition is specified that the consti-
tuition of the proposed state shall be
submitted to congress not later than
January 1, 1904. There also is pro-
vision that the debts of Cuba shall
not become a charge upon the gener-
al government.
The resolution provides for the ap-
preparation of 100000 to carry it's
provisions into effect.
Roosevelt May Negotiate Treaty.
Washington, June 17.-President
Palma, of Cuba, has indicated to
President Roosevelt his conviction
that the rebate proposition relative
to Cuban sugar (as proposed by the
beet-sugar senators) would be not
only very Objectionable in itself but
would be expensive and almost inn
possible to carry out in the distri-
button.
Should it become apparent that
there is no possibility of an agree
ment between the senate and the
house upon the pending reciprocity
propositions, then the president will
probably endeavor to simplify the
problem by dropping the house out
of the calculations and negotiating
treaty directly with President
Palma. It is true that such a treaty
would require the approval of two
thirds of the senate, but it is believed
that under the changed conditions
this would not be impossible of at
tainment. At any rate the situation
would be clarified by the omission of
the house from the calculation and
hence it is that the project is be.
ing earnestly considered.
