HIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Story of Suffering on March Across
Samar-Mental and Physical Exhaus-
tion-No Official News of Charges at
Tavy Department.

great deal of surprise was expressed
yesterday in naval circles over the press
report from Manila that Major Littleton
w. T. Waller and Lieut.. John H. A. Day, of
| the Marine Corps. were to be tried there
on the charge of executing natives of the
Island of Samar without trial. No official
information on the subject has been re-
| ceived by the Navy Department.
Major Waller is regarded as one of the
most gallant and competent officers of the
Marine Corps. 1t is the general belief at
the Navy Department that if he did COM
nit any such offence as that charged it
must have been when he suffering
from mental disorder during the terrible
march which he led across Samar in De-
cember and January last.
Sufferings of the March.
The sufferings of Major Waller and the
officers and men of his command in that
expedition are described as being hor-
rible. The expedition started from La
mang. on the west coast of Samar, in the
last week OF December. The intention was
thirty-fve miles.
Continuous rain and swollen streams
made the progress of Walters command
very slow. Before long the rations were
exhausted and the men began to drop by
the way.
In some way Major Waller, with two
officers and thirteen men, became sep
arated from the greater part of his force
and reached Basoy on January 9. Learn
ing that those from whom he had been
separated had not reached there, Waller
turned back in the hope of meeting them.
but was unsuccessful and retracted his
steps to Basoy.
The main body of marines under Capt.
David B. Porter had an extremely hard
time When Porter reached Lamang, on
January II, he had with him only two
men. The three were suffering from
mental and physical exhaustion.
The rest of the party, consisting of
Lieutenant Williams and thirty men.
were left in the mountains, unable to
move Williams and twenty of his
marines were eventually rescued. The
remainder undoubtedly died Of starvation.
Suffered From Dementia.
The official reports of the expedition to
the War Department and the Navy De-
partment said that Major Waller, Cap
tain Porter, Lieutenant Williams. and
eighteen men were all disordered in mind.
Major Waller served on the Indiana, in
the naval battle of Santiago. and subse-
quently distinguished himself in the
Philippines and in the campaign against
Pekin. He was recently advanced IN num-
bers for his services in China.
A telegram was received at the Navy
Department from Rear Admiral Rodgers.
commanding the Asiatic naval station,
saying that the marines who made the
march across Samar under Waller ar
rived at Cayite on January g and are
now quartered in the marine barracks
there.
Nothing was said in the despatch about
the court-martial proceedings against
Major Waller and Lieutenant Day.

that Mr.. Chase had consulted with Mr.

with the entire business.

Mrs. Colbert charged that the directors
had precipitated the trouble by making
the change in the management at this

the stockholders contribute, say one cent

This motion was finally carried with an
amendment stipulating that it was the

there was no telling where it would end.
AMI a general tarin revision would be ex-
ceedirgly unwise.
Mr.. Mahon, of Pennsylvania. admitted a
change of heart. He had originally ia
vored concessions to Cuba. hut last night
he came out strongly in support of the
beet sugar interests
He said the Western men had stood by
Pennsylvania when she wanted protec-
tioa. Now the old State would stand by
them and protect their sugar.
He predicted that the Republicans
might lose the next House if they gave
this blow to the beet sugar industry. 1t
was the part of wisdom to maintain a Re
publican House above all things.
Resolutions Sidetracked.
Mr. Fordney of Michigan presented
resolution to the effect that it was the
sense of the conference that the various
propositions to reduce the tariff schedules
should not be further considered. Mr.. Ma
hon added the suggestion that the mat
ter should not be considered until the
second session of the present Congress
No action was taken upon the resolution
or the suggestion.
Mr.. Long of Kansas, a member of the
Ways and Means Committee, was then
recognized in support of the reduction.

Turning to more serious subject, Mr.
