ART OF. WATER CURE
Yankee Surgeon Once in the Philip
pines Reveals All.
HOW THE TORTURE 1s}APPLIED
Operation Accomplishes the End De-
sired and Is Never of
Fatal Effect.

Stamford, Conn, April 23.-Dr. &C. r.
Hexamer, who recently returned from the
Philippines, where he served for two
years as an army surgeon, says:
In orGer to remove a false impression let
Filipino invention. 1t has been a favorite
means used by Macaoebes to get information
from insurgents, and it has usually accom-
plished that purpose. The water cure Is ad-
minstered In this way: After the victim is
forcibly thrown upon his back and held there
while. his teeth are, pried apart and there is
introduced between his Jaws a piece of BAN
boo about eight inches long and an inch in
diameter. Through the free end OF the pipe
is poured water, and in the selection of the
water there is frequently failure to take the
with water for ordinary drinking purposes
The Filipino soon has his mouth and nos
trils filled with water, and his breathing is
consequently shut off. If he breathes he is
in the condition of a person drowning So
generally he commences to swallow it, and he
drinks water to the capacity of his stomach.
When he is not able to hold more he becomes
more or les sutfocated. He Is then let up and
asked if he will ''habla" talk) Generally he
is ready by this time to tell what he knows,
and what information is repeated. If he re-
repeated. have never heard of victims dying
as a result of it. but should imagine they
have experienced a stomach ache for several
days Sometimes they are given a drink of
| whisky and sent on their way rejoicing.

SPEAKS BY THE CARD
American officer In the Philippines
who Took the Water Cure,


Who Took the Water Cure.
Los Angeles, Cal, April 23.-Charles E.
James, formerly first lieutenant of the
Thirty-sixth regiment, United States
volunteers, now a resident of Los Angeles,
said that the agitation against the use of
the water cure" in the Philippines is due
to the untruthful and exaggerated reports
which magnify the cruelty of the opera
ton. He went on:
l have taken the water cure and know
what it is, since it was administered by the
Filipinos. 1 have seen it administered to sew
eral hundred natives and know its effects. l

tim. In June, 1900 Captain Jack Roberts, a
son of General Roberts, a private named
Gallon and myself were scouting just north
Of Bacanabato pass, out from San Miguel,
when force under General Treson surround
ed us. We were taken into the mountains and
forced to march three days without food.
This starvation was carried out with the
intention of forcing us to divulge army news:
1t did not succeed, however. At the end of
that time we were given uncooked rice to
ea, and in the evening we were introduced
to the water cure by the natives, called
''tubig'' The only effects are the distension
OF the stomach and the accompanying pain.

BUTTER TRUST
One of the Arguments Used Against
the OIeomargartn BILL.

Washington, April 23.-The antioleo-
margarin bill will be taken up in the
house to-day under a special order. A
ilibuster against it will be made by its
opponents, but under the rule adopted
debate will be limited, and as its friends
in the house are largely in the majority,
there is no doubt of the result. In the
senate it is expected that a more agrees
sive and probably more protracted con-
test will develop; but there is no doubt
of an ultimate favorable action.
The argument will be presented that
the advanced price of butter since the
passage of the bill is an indication of one
of the results Of the enforcement Of the
bill. The opposition predict that it's prac-
tical effect will be to create a butter
trust, which will advance and control the
prices Of the creamery product. This
contention is denied by those who are
familiar with the subject. They assert
that the present prices are the result OF
low stocks and that in a short time the
market will regain its normal condition
It is also pointed out that the increased
sales Of oleo as butter have put a large

BATHS FOR THE POOR.
Extension of a System Proved Bene-

From the Philadelphia Times.
So successful has been the work of the
Public Baths Association of Philadelphia,
whose initial establishment is on Gaskm

will In few months be In possession of a
new and in some respects much better
building. dedicated to the same beneficial
purposes. A lot "a by 81 feet at us Wood
street has been purchased by the associa-
don for s2,2I5. and probably in March the
work Of construction will be begun. 1t Is
hoped that * wiz be completed by the
middle of June
The public bath and wash house in Gas
kill street was opened nearly four years
ago. At the end of its third year l05 248
baths had been taken there This year the
number OF baths Will be fully $1,000 or
more than 1000 a week. In December thus
far $500 baths have been taken l,475 in
the first fifteen days.
The Public Baths Association does noe
consider its work charity in the alms-
giving sense. 1t believes baths can be had
by the poor at a minimum price; that they
are more appreciated and therefore are
more regularly taken and do more good
than those which cost nothing to the per-
son benefited. Besides the public baths
offer what the city free baths do NOT
privacy and the use of hot water and OF
showers, together with an ample supply OF
soap and towels. 1t has cost about SIS 600 A
year to maintain the Gaskfil street bathing
establishment, and the deficit at the end OF
1860 was 80 per cent, having steadily de-
creased since the place was opened.
