TO INDICATE WATER CURE.

Practiced I'm United States and Alb
soIuteIy Necessary in Philippines.
Maj. GIenn's Counsel Make Out a
Strong Case.
Manila, June 6.-The trial by court
martial at Catballogan, Island of Sa-
mar, of Maj. Edwin F. Glenn, of the
Fifth Infantry, who was charged with
administering the water cure to Fill
pinos, Is concluded.
The defense claims to have proved
that the water cure is not cruel, and
that it has been frequently practiced
by the police of the principal cities of
America for the purpose of extorting
information. The defense claims also
to have proved at the trial that the
Filipino guide to whom Maj. Glenn adj
ministered the water cure was a trail
tor and ought, under all the laws of
war, to have been shot; that except
for the fact that he alone had certain
Information he would have been shown
no mercy; that the guide was a guer-
lila and not even entitled to the laws
of war; that the presidente and MEM
bers of the police force of the town
where the water cure was administer
ed are now in Bilibid prison in Manila
on information obtained through this
guide; and that, in addition. the water
cure is being used in the United States.
Maj. Glenns counsel declared also at
the trial that the water cure is re-
garded as a necessity in the Philip
pine Islands by both Spaniards and
insurgents; that 1t is not dangerous to
life and not especially painful, al
though 1t is very unpleasant, and that
Maj Glenn himself personally under
went the water cure before he ad-
ministered IT to the guide, and in exact
ly the same manner in which 1t was
given to the Filipino.

When the spirit of Mrs. Anna NJ.
Frintz fed there passed from the world
woman whose life story was one
that was full Of the remarkable, a
woman whose fidelity to duty and to
those she loved makes an exceedingly
rCetty story. Mrs. Frintz died at her
VINE in Cincinnati in the sixty-second
year Of her age, and the early part of
those sixty-two years were filled with
stirring events. When the country
was plunged into civil war Mrs. Frintz
was bride Of but a few years. and
her husband felt that he was called
upon to go to the front.
Then it was that the intrepid spirit
of his wife asserted itself. and, nothing
daunted by the fact that she had a
young babe, she determined to follow
her husband, and follow him she did.
She was with Rosecran's army in
West Virginia, and even when the
Shrek of the shells caused a tremSr
among the men she remained intrepid.
Her husband. Louis G. Frintz, was a
major in the twenty-eighth Ohio, and
a splendid soldier. Mrs Frintz was
very active in organizing the Women S
Corps Auxiliary to the Loyal Legion
G. A R., and the Union Veteran
Legion.
