WHEATON NOT TO BLAME.
War Department Says the General Did
Not Crit.cise Senators for Express
SONS on the Phi ,lippines.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The war de-
partment is not disposed to take any
action respecting Gen. Wheaton's ut
terances, which were quoted in the
senate Monday. This is because the
officials, after studying the Manila
dispatch in which Gen. Wheaton was
quoted, are satisfied that the debate
in the senate proceeded upon an en-.
tire misrepresentation Of what Gen.
Wheaton was reported to have said.
1t is found that Gen. Wheaton did not
criticise the United States senate or
its committees and 1t is thought at
the department that the misappre.
hension on that score arose from a
general statement in the dispatch at.
tributing such criticisms to other
persons than Gen. Wheaton.

MARINES FAMISHED.
Capt. Porter's Company Encounter
Terrible Hardships In Samar.
The Raw Flesh OF Dogs II Eaten Some Sol
dIsss stagger iuto Camp In q Delirious
Condition-Other Found Barking
Like Dogs In Trees.

Manila, Jan. 29.-Gen. Chaffee cur
tailed his trip and returned here yes
terday morning: He says he found
the conditions satisfactory every
where, except at Samar, where con-
tinuous rain during the past two
months had retarded the campaign
against the enemy.
The condition of Capt. David p.
Porter's marines, who took part in
the expedition into the interior Of
Samar, is much worse than previous
ly described. They suffered so acute
~ from starvation that they ate raw
tho flesh of two dogs. When Capt.
Porter and the first three of his men
staggered into camp they were deli
rious and difficulty was experienced
in ascertaining the whereabouts Of
their companions. Williams, Of the
First infantry, headed the relief ex-
petition in the face of a torrential
storm which flooded the rivers. He
succeeded in reaching the remaining
ten men, who would otherwise have
certainly persisted. He found them
all delirious. Two of the men were
discovered in the branches of trees,
barking like dogs. Some of the ma.
rines are SO i'll that they are not
likely to recover. Gen. Chaffee has
endeavored to obtain full details Of
the trip of the marines, but Capt.
Porter is not yet able to lucidly ex-
plain matters.
Maj. Lot and three Filipinos, lieu
tenants, with ten rifles, three revolt

ter, He was cordially hated Mt Lipa,
where he looted $55,000 worth of jew.
elry from prominent families. Nick

brother of Maj. Lot, near Batangas.
The general outlook in Batangas

HOLLANDS FRIENDLY OFFER.
1t Suggests That It He Allowed to Act as
an Agent for the Doors to Bring
About Peace.

London, Jan. 2s.-!The government
leader, A. j. Balfour, announced in
the house of comons yesterday that
no overtures for peace had been re.
ceived from anyone authorized to
speak in behalf of the Beers. A com.
munication has been, however, re.
ceived from the Dutch government.
which is now under consideration.
The government of Holland has of.
fered in the most friendly terms to
help in bringing about peace in
South Africa. In a communication to
the British government, the Dutch
government suggests that it might be
permitted to act as sort of diplo.
matte agent for the Boer delegates.
The government, however, expressly
disavows any attempt at Intervention
and does not mention any terms.

Seattle, WASH, Jan. 29.--Clarence

home from the Philippines, where he

Twenty-fifth infantry. U. s. ", has
authorized the publication of let
ter written by him to Senator Hoar
from the islands, June 10, 1900. He
says In part:
AT any time I am liable to be
called upon to go out and gag help
less prisoners, to strike them in the
face, to knock him down when 30
bound; to bear them away from wife
and children at their very door, who
are shrinking pitifully the while, or
kneeling and kissing the hands Of our
officers and imploring for mercy
from those who seem not to know
what 1t is, and then, with a crowd Of
soldiers, hold our helpless victim
head downward in tub of water in
his own yard, or bind him hand and
foot, attaching ropes to head and
feet, and then lowering him into the
depths of well till life is well nigh
choked out, and the bitterness Of
death has been tasted, and our poor
gasping victims ask the United States
for the poor boon of being finished
off, in mercy to themselves.
"All these things have been done
at one time or another by our men,
generally in cases of trying to obtain
information as to the location of
arms and ammunition"

SENATORS WRANGLE
Philippine Question Precipitates a.
Acrimonious Debate.
Dubois Started Il by Requesting the Presi-
dent 70 Reprimand Cen. wheaton Gov
Taft Denies That Anything II
Being Concealed.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-An animated
and prolonged discussion was precip.
itated in the senate yesterday over
the right of army officers to criticise
utterances made in he senate or else
where on the conduct of affairs in
the Philippines. At times it became
somewhat acrimonious, officers in
the Philippines being taken sharply
to task for statements attributed to
them in dispatches from Manila,
Rising to a question Of privilege ear.
ly in the session, Senator Dubois, OF
Idaho, had read an Associated press
dispatch from Manila in which Gen.
Wheaton was quoted as criticising
some utterances of Prof. Schurman
in a speech delivered in Boston. Sen.
ator Dubois thought the president, in
the circumstances, would be war.
ranted in reprimanding Gen. Wheat
on for his utterances. He declared
that such comment upon the action
of the senate was Outrageous and
indecent" and that the minority had
had quite enough of threats and
blackmail.
Mr.. Teller (Col.) said such situa.
ton as had arisen was one of the
blessings growing out of the condi.
tions in the Philippines. A paddock,
he asserted, was to be placed upon the
mouth OF every man, congressman or
private citizen, and oil criticism of the
administration's Philippine policy was
to be silenced. He referred to the
criticism of senators who had antag-
onized the administrations policy in
the Philippines, declaring they had
been charged even with treason.
Nothing Concealed. Says taft.
Chicago. Jan. 2s.-Gov. Taft, of the
Philippines, who was here Sunday en-.
route to Cincinnati, said: "The only
answer have to make to the ideas Of
individual observers, who declare that
the true condition of the Philippines
is being concealed, or that we are
hugging delusions of peace that can
never be brought about, is that the
government is concealing nothing, and
that its conclusions are not based on
wild theories, but substantial facts"
Gov. Taft said that although there
was time when, for military rea-
sons, It had not been advisable to
make public everything occurring in
the Philippines, the necessity for such
secrecy is over, and that no effort Is
now being made to conceal any part
Of the truth from the people of this
country.
