Los Angeles, April 23-Charles F.
James, formerly first lieutenant of the
Thirty-sixth regiment. United States
volunteers, who is now resident of
Los Angeles, said in an interview that
the present agitation against the use of
the water cure" in the Philippines is
due to untruthful and exaggerated re-
ports which magnify the cruelty of the
operation.
Il have taken the water cure and
know what it is, since it was adminis-
tered by Filipinos," said James. "I have
seen it administered to several hundred
natives and know it's effect. never
knew of the water cure killing a victim.
When the statement is made that the
subject is given water until his lungs
are filled 1t is an untruth. Any one OF
common sense knows man would

Washington, April 23.-By order OF
the president, General Funston was to-

telegraphed Funston not to speak at
the Middlesex banquet in Boston.
The president has withdrawn the

further discussion of public questions,
that he had not as yet received any

counteract the pro-Boer sentiment IN
the United States. With equal frank
ness Mr.. Hammond urged that Great
Britain be generous in her demands.
Your American friends" he declared
most earnestly hope that in arrang-
ing terms of peace wise liberality will
be shown to the Boers."
Such statement coming from one
who in the same speech referred to his
imprisonment at Pretoria on account
of his anti Boer tendencies produced a
rather striking effect.
The American Anglophobes came in
for equal criticism with the Angloma-
MACS In Mr.. Hammond's remarks.
Both of these classes" said Mr.. Ham
mond, "are the flotsam and jetsam OF
the American population. The citizens
who compose the important body OF
our population are the exponents OF
Americanism In its highest form"
The speaker pointed out that Ameri-
can impressions of the Boer war were
derived from the political emissaries of
the Beers and the writings and speech
es of the British pro-Boers, under
which circumstances. he said. 1t was
not surprising that the Corrupt Trans
vaal oligarchy" masquerading under
the name of the little sister republic.
had secured the aid and sympathy OF
America However much we English
and Americans differ from the Beers
politically" he continued, I'VE are COM
PEELED to admire the plucky fight made
by the unfortunate and deluded Beers
now under arms"
Elaborating upon his argument in ia
vor of securing generous peace terms
Mr.. Hammond unfavorably compared
Mr.. Kruger's attitude with General
Lees christian and patriotic action"
But he warned his hearers to learn a
lesson from another chapter of the
American civil war by avoiding the
mistake of the American statesman
who endeavored to govern the southern
states by northern Office holders, as a
result of which many years elapsed
before the harm done by the carpet
bagger" was repaired.
Among those present at the dinner
were the Marquis of Graham, the Earl
of Kintmore. the Earl of Jersey, the
Earl of Dudley. and the Earl of Hard.
wicke, Lords Gray, Kindsor. and Har-s
ris, and Rear Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford.

But as a matter of fact he has done
nothing to hurry up matters and the
lawyers are generally holding the re-
porter at fault in not getting out the
reports in reasonable time. The real
fault is in the system. The state un-
dertakes to get cheap work for the
benefit of the lawyers, and to pay q
reporter god salary for doing work
which is solely for the benefit of the
profession, and nobody is satisfied un-
less it is the reporter who gets the
salary. Both candidates for the po-
sition are actively at work and both
have been here this week to look after
their interests.
1t is probable that an Iowa man will
have something to do with the starting
of an agricultural experiment station
in Porto Rico. The agricultural de-
partment sent Prof. S. A. Knapp to
Porto Rico to investigate the indus
trial possibilities of the island and on
the strength of his report congress has
made an appropriation for the estab-
lishment of an experiment station.
The appropriation for the preliminary
work and location is $4,000. but this
is only starter. Uncle Sam is going
to show the Porto Ricans that they
have been neglecting their opportun-
tiles. 1t is probable that Prof. Knapp
will be in charge of the preliminary
work in Porto Rico, or at least have
something to do with the location Of
the station.
Not for many years has any. case
so completely baffied the police and
detectives of Des Moines as the Pet
erson murders of week ago Sunday.
A great many clues have been followed
and much information gathered, some
Of which may be useful in time, but
in fact there is nothing tangible in re-
gard to the identity of the murderer.
It is true that the city police and de-
tectives are not experienced men and
some things have been done which
were not in accordance with best re-
suits, as shown subsequently, but this
also is true that most of the talking
which has resulted In newspaper
stories in regard to the case has been
done by unauthorized persons desirous
more for notoriety than to secure JUS
tice. In fact the whole case has been
obscured because of the intense feel
ing in regard to the matter and not
for some time will the public here be
in a frame of mind to consider 1t
calmly. Even today If one should be
arrested against whom there would
be conclusive evidence he would not
be safe in Des Moines even in the best
