fault in payment Of obligations. it is
said, Is due TO the fact that bonds of
the company bearing 3 per cent inter

justified in floating them az that price
to meet the current construction ex-
penditures, which have avera ged about

he buys all the raw sugar for the com

ments that the trust had bought SO, 900
tons of Cuban sugar since Jan. 1. Mr.
Mott also said that in the course Of the

The converse Of the proposition was
also true. The department knows ar-

through the auditor for the war de-

IS to show how the supplies and expen-

There is no such force in the United

WHO GETS THE SUPPLIES
Secretary of War Unable to Estimate Amount Of
War Expenditures in the Philippines
Letter Will be Sent to Senator Cubsson Explaining Inability to
Comply Fully With Senate Resolution

HTAsHINGTON. May 2.-Secretary
w Root is writing to Senator Gull
berson an explanation of the rea-
son why the war department thus far
has made no response to the senate res
olution adopted April II, calling for
exact and detailed statements Of the
cost Of the war in the Philippines.
This is in answer to criticisms made by
certain Senators to the effect that the
department was purposely suppresslng
information en- this subject.
The secretary viii try to show that
from the moment it was received every
one of the supply bureaus Of the war
department has been engaged in col
Letting material for the answer The
secretary had explained to Senator
Culberson, as he thought, the great diff
fculties connected with the collecting
Of the information he desired, and as
its compilation would require the ser
vice of a large part of the clerks in
the department for a considerable time,
the secretary did not feet justif~I in
diverting them from their necessary
regular employment upon the request
Of a single senator.
AS soon, however, as the United
States senate by resolution called for
the information the entire machinery
Of the department was put In motion
to meet the demand. The difficulties
in the way of making a satisfactory
response were enormous and in many
instances it was found actually impOs-
sible to answer specific questions by
approximate statements.
This is true. it is claimed, nOtwith-
standing the fact that every one Of the
depot and supply officers here and in
the Philippines has been called upon,
whenever acquainted with any Of the
facts desired.

Senator Dubois called upon Secretary
Hitchcock today and urged the immadi-
ate issuance of an order to open the
Fort Hall reservation.
The question Of reserving mineral
lands within a five-mile radius Of Po-
catellO was raised. and when Senator
Dubois assured the secretary that the
lands in question are not mineral. the
latter assented to the immediate open
