break Of lighting between the American
and Filipino forces on the night Of Feb

airy Filipino could not hit a stack Of

that caused the Fnipinos 10 stand their
ground In some cases it was the obsti-
macy Of their leaders; in others il was
superstition. They wore badges and

General Hughes said that there had

Americans in cold blood, and be had never
heard of a case Of a prisoner being killed

Another possibility Of dimcuuIty in the
isthmian canal question was developed
today
The Senate Committee on Interoceanic
Canals heard Thomas B. Atkins. secre-
tary and treasurer Of the Maritime Canal
Company The hearing occupied more
than TWO hours Il was taken up largely
with the question whether the company
would expect 10 be repaid for It's expendi-
lures for concessions and work done.
The general trend Of the testimony OF
the witness was that the company had
expended a very large sum and would be
glad 10 have il repaid The total sum
mentioned by Mr.. Akius was in excess Of
81. 900. .CC0

and Kittredge are responsible for The

Mr. Akins said that the company is
friendly in its attitude toward the U&ited

question Of what the company would ex-

been taken up officially but that il had
