ARE FILIPINO PRISONERS MURDERED ?

Stories of cruelties practiced upon
Filipino prisoners by American sol
diers are gradually leaking out, and,
though hard to believe, are SO persist
ent as to compel the belief that they
are not made entirely out of whole
cloth. The policy Of evasion and con-
cealment adopted by the War Depart
ment is one good reason for believ-
ing that these stories are not pure fab
relations. If there were no truth in
them the Wal Department would have
nothing to evade or conceal, but would
give the American public full informa-
ton as to the conditions now existing
in the Philippines, and especially as
to the manner of dealing with cap
tured F%ilipinos.
In his evidence before the Senatorial
committee the other day, Governor
Taft himself was compelled to admit
that soldiers practiced what is known
as the water cure" upon Filipino pris-
oners-a species of torture worthy of
the Spanish inquisition. The water
cure" which Governor Taft thinks is
nothing but an amusement, is given
by holding the victims mouth open
with a stick inserted therein and then
pouring water down his throat until
the stomach of the tortured subject
point. The Governor did not state
with what object this torture is adj
ministered to prisoners further than
being IN act of pure cruelty, so the
presumption is open that it is one
means used in inducing a Willingness
ON the part Of the victims to the TAX
ing of the oath of allegiance.
Now discharged soldiers are coming
forward with tales of murder and cru
city which are enough to make the
civilized world stand aghast mat such
crimes can be committed in the name
III tie American nation and with the
Sanction OF It's Official representatives.
taeIe IS OF these stories, told by d
discharged solder TO the editor OF the
Liho Independent on the train a lew
days ago:
speaking OF taking Filipino pris-
oAeIs, tAe SoIdIer SAID mat Wnen
the u. 5. army was raidlng the
country, the prisoners taken were
turned over 10 the guards who
We're told TO take a walk with
them. This meant that the pris-
oners were put in charge of a
guard VINO took them a short dis
lance from camp and told them to
so. When the prisoners were a
few yards from the guards, the
guards took deliberate aim and
shot them in the back killing
them, The guards would then re-
turn to camp and report to the
proper officer that the prisoners
Hdu eScdpeu. NO qutStiOHS were
asked by the officer. In one in
stance a prisoner was turned over
Il a green soldier with instructions
to take a walk with the prisoner.
The soldier did as ordered and
after a short time returned to
camp with his prisoner and report
ed to the officer. The soldier
was put in the guardhouse for sew
eral days as a punishment for
bringing the prisoner back to
camp. This story was corroborat-
ed by a comrade Of the one who
told it.
The above horrible tale directly
agrees with the vague rumors which
have been coming from the islands
for some time. Where there Is so
