that probably coffee was the cause Of
his trouble and advised him to use

Well. that day was a day long to be re-

CHARGES SUPPRESSED,
SAYS MR.. CULBERSON
Declares General Miles Not
His Informant.
Copy of Accusations Made Against
Army Officers Caused Trouble
in the Senate.

Senator Culberson created littl,
breeze of excitement in the Senate yes
terday during the Philippine debate by
having read from the desk the copy OF
| charges filed in Tie War Department BY
Private Andrew J. Weir against i.ieuten-
ant Arnold and Sergeant Edwards. which
the Senator had been vainly trying to
oihcially secure from the War Depart
ment. The charges cited inhuman
treatment of Filipino prisoners. and sug-
gested the killing of aged and defense
less men.
Accompanying the paper was the re-
port OF Captain West. of the Fifth Cav
airy. at Calaca, p |.
Accredited to General Miles.
Mr.. Lodge, Mr. Beveridge. and Mr.. AL
lison vainly endeavored to elicit from
Mr.. Culberson where the copies of the
charges were secured.
Mr.. Bcveridge declared that he would
Insist upon an answer as to whether or
not they came from the War Depart
ment.
Il even go so far as to ask whether
the copies were furnished by General
Miles," Mr.. Beveridge inquired
And | insist again that the question
of the Senator from Indiana is imperti-
nC--, replied Mr.. Culberson.
Mr.. Allison remarked that Lieutenant
Arnold was citizen OF Iowa. and that
If the papers had been in his hands he
would not have exposed Lieutenant Ar
nold's name in connection with the sub
ject.
Mr.. Cu'berson said that that might be
so. but that the Secretary of War SEEM
ed TO have a purpose to keep the matter
from the public.
Exonerates General Miles.
Later in the session Mr. Culberson
made short statement to the effect
that while he had not answered the |
questions of the Senator from Indiana |
or obvious reasons. he deemed it due /
low to say that the papers had not been |
furnished him by General Miles.
He said that he had obtained them

A Committee Appointed
to Confer With Cuban
Concession Advocates.
REBA E PLAN MAY Be ADOPTED
Senators Burrows, Elkins, and Jones
Selected to Present Views to Mem
bers of Cuban Relations Committee
Mr.. Dietrich's New Bill.

The Republican Senators who demand
that the Cuban tariff question be settled
by the payment of a rebate Of customs
dues to the Cuban government or that
no bill shall be passed have appointed
Messrs. Burrows, Elkins. and Jones of
Nevada a committee to consult with
Senator's Platt OF New York. Cullom. and
spooner. representing the Cuban Rela-
tions Committee, with a view to harmo-
nizing the conflicting views OF the Re
publican Senators and getting an agree
ment upon a measure to be passed
promptly.
1t is thought that a meeting may be
held today. The EIkins committee is in
structcd to agree to nothing more resem-
bling reciprocity than a rebate, and the
opinion was expressed by more than one
Administrator Senator yesterday that the
result is likely to be a rebate bill.
Senator Dietrich's Bill.
Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska. repre-
senting four of the Senators who are op
posed to the so-called Spoooner com
promise bill for Cuban reciprocity, yes
terday introduced a bill amending the
sugar section OF the Dingley tariff law
so as to exempt Cuban sugar from The,
existing rate.
The bill provides further for reduc-
ton Of - per cent in the duties on su-
gar imported from Cuba when that re-
public reduces by like amount the du-
ties on products from the United States |
It also aboliskes the diferential between |
av and refined sugar coming from coun- /
rics other than Cuba. but increases the /
luty on raw sugars by the amount Of the .
that is raising the duty /
On raw to the present duty on refined .
sugar.
The concessions to Cuba are to run
lntit December l. 1903. and are to be de-
pendent upon the enactment by Cuba OF
exclusion and contract labor
aWa. fully as restrictive as those Of the
-nitcd States. When these conditions /
ave teCn complied with by Cuoa the
resident is t. nut the concession into
feet by proclamation He is also au-
lorIzed TO suspend the operations OF the
orcession IL at any time the conditions
re not properly executed by Cuba.
lac cuJect, Mr.. Dietrich says, "of

Unjust to Filipiros.

We have been unjust TO our people
in the Philippine Islands. Those islands
are 10000 miles from the center Of
the market in the United States. They
have appealed to us to make rcduc-
tion of - per cent upon their products
to the United states. and We have given
them only - per cent OF the reduction.
On account of the distance. the cost of
transportation, shriukagc. and insur-
anCe, this p per cent reduction only
oTualizcs their opportunities to sell
their products to the United States with
the products from Cuba. If no reduction
whatever is granted Cuba.
The effect Of this bill will be that
all countries, including Cuba. can bring
To the United States refined sugar By
paying the same duty that they pay to
bring to this country tine highest grade
Of raw sugar and give the additional
profit to the sugar producers of the
United States. who employ labor. in
stead of giving the profits to the sugar
trust, which employs practically no la
Dor. There is but one duty for the
Republican party TO perform on the
sugar question, and that is to abolish
ne dificrcntiaI and add that to the raw
sugar and aid the manufacturer in this
'cuntry, and not the importer
II is understood that the bill was in
reduced at the suggestion OF President
)Xnard, OF the Beet Sugar Association.
