USING THE WATER CURE.
How American Soldiers Made a
Filipino Presidents Confess.
water Was Poured Down His Throat
Until He sIgnfhed a willing
ness TO Tell All He Was
Requested To.

Washington, April 15.-The senate
committee on the Philippines Monday
began making an investigation Of the
charges to the effect that the water
cure, sO-caIled, is Practiced on the
insurgents and Charles S. Riley, Of
Northampton, Mass, formerly a ser
geant in company N, Twenty-sixth
volunteer infantry, was the first wit
ness called. Mr.. Riley said that he
had been in the Philippines from DC
tober 25, 1899, to March 4. 1901 In
reply to questions by Senator Raw
Inns he said he had witnessed the
water cure at Igbaras IN the prov
ince Of IlOilo on November p, 1900.
It was administered to the presidente
OF chief Filipino official Of the town
He said that upon the arrival of his
command at Igbaras the presidente
was asked whether runners had been
sent out notifying the insurgents OF
their presence and that upon his re-
fusal to give the information he was
taken into the convent where the wit
ness was stationed and the water
cure was administered to him. When
he (the witness), first saw him he was
standing in the corridor of the con-
vent, stripped to the waist and his
hands tied behind him, with Capt.
Glenn and Lieut.. COnger, of the reg
ular army, and DR.. Lyons, a contract
surgeon standing near, while many
soldiers stood about. The man, he
said, was thrown under a water tank
which held about 100 gallons of wa
ter and his mouth placed directly IN
der the faucet and held open so as
TO compel him to swallow the water
which was allowed to escape from the
tank. When at last the Presidente
agreed to tell what he knew he was
released and allowed to start away
He was not, however, permitted to
escape, and upon refusing to give
further information, he was again
taken as he was about to mount his
horse and the cure administered fOI
the second time. He still refused and
a handful of salt was thrown into
the water. This had the desired effect
and the presidente agreed to answer
all questions.

Washington, April ia topic Of
discussion at Tuesdays cabinet meet

TEARS IN THE SENATE.
The Scene When Mr. Vest Spoke OF the
Late Wade HamPtOn-Were
Life Long Friends.

Washington, April 12--ODe Of the
most impressive scenes witnessed this
session in the senate was this afternoon
when Senator Vest, tottering with age
and infirmity, arose to pay a tribute to
his old friend, Wade Hampton. There
was absolute silence as MS rigging voice
gained for few moments its old power.
and he paid his tribute 10 most eloquent
words. The senate was deeply touched
with the effort He closed with these
words:
81 shall never celse to feel kindly
toward the present occupant of the white
house, Col Roosevelt, for what he said,
in the brOadest spirit OF craftsmanship
and as a historian, IN his life of Thomas
Il. Benton, one Of the American states
men series, in regard to Robert E Lee.
He says that Robert E. Lee was by far
the greatest general that ever came from
! the English speaking races, superior to
Wellington, to Marlborough and to his
last great adversary. Ulysses S. Grant.
Mr.. President, hope 1 may be pardOned
if speak very briefly of Wade Hampton,
who is to morrow to be committed to the
earth, but whose memory will live for
| centuries to come among the people, not
o0ly Of the south, but of the whole
country as we'll
Il knew him well and loved him sin
csrely. He was the highest type Of
| Christian gentleman-patient, brave,
honest and unsel6sh. He was not de-
pressed by adversely. nor unduly elated
/ by prosperity. Having lost all, except
| life and honor, he bowed submissively to
the result Of a great war IN which be
shared the fortunes Of his people He
| never uttered one vindic.ive word; he
never gave any wild advice to the people
who were suffering all the horrors of re-
construction, and only needed his advice
tt dare again the utmost that fate could
do against them rather than submit to
| the ills they had. I am informed this
morning by one who sat by his deathbed
yesterday that he met death as calmly
aud as patiently as be had met all the
adverse fortunes that had come to him
10 his later years. He could say-and
kuow honestly-in the beautiful lines of
| TenDysOn:

As he finished he sank TO his seat ex-
hausted through physical weakness and
profound emotion. There was an elO-
quent silence in the Chamber for a few
moments. One could see tears stream
ing down the cheeks Of the aged senator.
Mr.. Lodge at length proceeded with his
Chinese speech, but his voice was so
husky that he could scarcely say the
words.
