ington special to the Journal says;
Senator Hoar. Of Massachusetts, is
generally credited with being the di-
recting power behind the scenes in

the charge Of killing Filipino prison
ers at the battle Of Caloocan. Sena-
tor Hoar cares nothing about Gen
Metcalf's guilt or innocence, but, as
the head and front of the agitation
concerning American outrages in the
Philippines, he is anxious to prove
that Filipino prisoners were killed in
cold blood by American soldiers. This
charge has been frequently made, but
has been denied hy the military Of
icers operating in the Islands. Capt.
Boltwood who makes the charge
against Metcan. iala d'ateiy on his
arrival established close relations with
the Massachusetts senator. No one
believes that Metcaif was guilty of
the outrage, and his cgse would prac-
tically have been disposed of on the
evidence furnished by the findings of
two court-martials which pronounced
him innocent of the charge. but it
does not suit Senator Hoar. who is

to bringing out convincing faess that
his theory is correct. II is now re-
garded as certain that The investiga-
