F'iIipinO Loot.
Throughout the war in the Philippines
the officers have done all they could to re-
strain the soldiers from looting and ofenses
of this nature have been few and far be-
tween. There is no soldier in the world
who so respects the rights of others as the
American. This was notably so in China,
where the Russians, English and Germans
eXtOrted money in every possible way.
Nevertheless, at the beginning Of the war
quite a lot of treasure was found in Luzon.
Money was discovered in the cellars and
roofs of the Philippine houses, and it was
dug from the yards. During my visit to
General Fred Grant at Angeles | was aiken
down under the floor of the buildn /; in
which he lived and shown a concealed
treasure vault, which had been the treasure
hiding place of the owners. 1t was then
empty Of jewels and money, but 1t may
have been robbed by the insurrectos.
General Wheaton's headquarters at San
Fernando were IN enc OF the nneSt houses
north of Manila. The building had a ground
floor of tiles and in some way or other the
soldiers got the idea that there was money
under the floor. / think it WIS before the
general took possession. 1t was certainly
without his knowledge that they dug up
the tiled floor in the yard. They found
nothing and left the house, having searched
every part of it except the billiard room,
Shortly after this the owner came back
and got permission TO remove his furniture.
He did so and at the same time raised the
floor of the billiard room and therefrom
removed $35, coo in money and $15, coo worth
of jewelry.
Captain Dodds of the Third cavalry cap
tured SIS, coo worth of insurgent money at
one time and turned it into the govern
ment. The money was being carried over
the country in bullock carts.
Shortly after St. Thomas was captured
a native came with a bullock cart to Cen
eral Macarthur and asked if he could go
into one of the houses for his valuables.
The general consented and the man dug
up $50, 900, which he had laid away in sugar
Jars under the floor.

Filipino Atrocities.
now and then see statements Of the
cruelties perpetrated by our troops on the
innocent Flip.nos. Some such statements
may be true, but the majority are false,
and under the provOcations which the men
have suffered II is a wonder they are at all
temperate. No one can appreciate the suf-
ferings q our soldiers. Men have been cut
to pieces with bolos. They have been lied
to and deceived in every possible way. One
case | remember on the island OF Panay.
It was a priest, who enticed three Of our
p~riyates into the hands Of the enemy. The
prlyatos were drunk or they would not have
been caught. The Fuipinos tied them to
stakes and built a fire at their feet. After
they had roasted the feet the Filipinos used
their bolos to cut strips OF flesh from the
bodies Of their victims. They cut at them
again and again, avoiding the vital spots,
and then scared the flesh with red no
irons.
During my stay in Manila Lieutenant
Wynne Of the marine corps captured six
Cavite cutthroats who were numbering chi
dren by drowning them in Manila bay. Til
villains would tie the hands OF the little
ones behind their backs and cast them thu:
bound into the water.
One of the Filipino generals Sas a half
breed Chinese named Paua, who committe,
all sorts OF atrocities on women and chill
dren. His soldiers once attacked a poo
woman and her daughter in the province o
Albay and demanded money Of them. The

London, May III. Pierpont Morgan paid
few days quiet visit to London this week and
has now returned 10 Paris. While here he had
several conferences with the leaders of the ship
ping combination. The Associated Press is on

shipping combination
They welcome to the Canadian line" said
one of those chiefly concerned. 1t will not

1t is pointed out that the frequent criticisms
regarding Mr.. Morgan purchasing old ships at
high prices and being unable To pay dividends
on the large capitalization Of the combination
all made by those who utterly ignorant
of the valuation placed on the various vessels,
and without consideration Of the fact that the
combination can always sell at a good price a
ship that is too old to continue the strain OF
fast transatlantic traffic.
