GENERAL Jake" SMITH ADMITS
BEFORE THE COURT THAT
HE GAVE SUCH ORDERS
TO WALLER.
Everybody over Ten Years of Age
Came Under Order-Adminis-
ttation Frightened by the
Admission of Brutality
of General Smith.

Manila. April 26.-The trial by
courtmartial Of Gen Jacob II. Smith
ON the charge of conduct prejudical
i to good order and discipline began
today General Lloyd Wheaton pre-
sliced.
Colonel Charles A. Woodruff, coun-
sci for the defense, said he desired
to simplify the proceedings. He was
willing to admit Major Waller to XIII
and burn and make Samar a bowling
wilderness, that he wanted everybody
killed capable of bearing arms and
: that he did specify all over ten years
of age, as the Samar boys at that age
were equally as dangerous as their
elders.
Captain David D. Porter, marine
corps, and Lieutenant John H. A.
Day, marine corps, were the only two
witnesses examined, The testimony
developed nothing new.
Major littleton T. Waller. marine
corps, viii be the only other witness
for the prosecution. He was unable
to be present today on account o:
sickness, but it is expected will be
in attendance tomorrow
The defense will call several OIL
GERS of tae Ninth infantry,
Major Waller aud Lieutenant Day,
of the marine corps, who were tried
by courtmartial here, on the charge
of executing natives Of the island of
Samar without trial, have been ac-
quilted.
Administration Is Frightened.
Washington, April 26.-War depart
ment officials are very much disturbed
| over the reported admissions made
by counsel for General Jacob Smith
as stated in the cables from Manila
this afternoon but they are not near
| ly 50 much as the administration pol
iticians, who consider it extremely un-
fortunate that Colonel Woodruff, who
represents General Smith, should have
admitted that General Smith gave in
| structions to Major Waller to kill
burn and make Samar a bowling will
derness; that he wanted everybody
killed capable Of bearing arms, and
that he did specify all over 10 years
of age.
Nobody here anticipates any serious
consequences to General Smith as the
result of this courtmartial, and the
republican politicians who have set
out to withwash everything done in
dhe Philippines believe that this adj
mission Of General SmItns counsel
will greatly inJure the party in the
elections.
In the hope that they might prove
sedative to quiet the Indignation man
ifesting itself all over the country
at the disclosures Of army methods,
the war department sent to me SEN
ate TO-DAY great batch OF testimo-
malls from different communities in
the Philippine islands indorslng the
American soldiers. These were gen
orally IN the shape of petitions for
the retention Of the American soldiers
rather than the Filipino scouts. The
fact that the American soldiers are
especially welcomed because of the
good pay they receive and of their
liberallty in spending as compared
with the native scouts, IS not men
toned in these papers.

GAS WELL AT BOULDER.
Heavy Pressure Of Gas Will Be Used
for Heating Purposes.

Denver, Oct. 20.-A Boulder special
to the Republican last night says:
In company with number of inyft-
ed guests. two Republican representa-
tives went out to the Maxwell well,
north Of town last evening. To call
1t an oil well Is misnomer. Oil was
never discovered in 1t, but the gas
pressure is something enormous.
The derrick has been taken down
and moved 800 feet westward, where
another well is to be sunk as soon n
the derrick can be erected and the
machinery installed. All that is left
Of the original well is the piping, and
some valves. While at the well. Mr..
Cameron attached q pressure gauge
capable of indicating 1000 pounds.
Two smaller gauges had been broken
by the pressure and larger one was
sent for. In spite Of all the packing,
there is constant leak at the well,
and the valves cannot be made abso-
lutely tight. The gas can be seen and
heard as 1t escapes around the main
valve. In spite Of this, when Mr..
Cameron turned the gas on. the gauge
went up gradually until 1t stood at $50
pounds. 1t was said the pressure,
when all the leakage Ia stopped. IL
900 pounds. The best pressure Of any
well in Indiana Is 325 pounds. SO that
this is something remarkable. For
the beneit OF the spectators, Mr..
Cameron turned the gas into the two
inch pipe. about fifty feet long, at the
end Of which he had put In an up
right piece. AZ he applied the torch
there was a slight blaze from the
leakage. He gradually increased the
how until the valve was wide open
and then the flame shot from seventy
five to 100 feet into the air and was
perhaps six to ten feet WIDE. The
roar was terrific, 80 much SO that for
time the spectators did not
know which way to run to get away
from the noise.
As soon as the second well is down
to gas the present one will be shot
and then 1t Is proposed to utilize the
gas for heating purposes and perhaps
for lighting.

thorized by law, $1,000 men. With the
practical cessation Of outbreaks In the
Philippines, 1t 10 believed that this can
be done safely. The present size OF
the army IL about $1,000. The cavalry
and artillery regiments will be reduced
to the minimum basis except around
Fort Leavenworth, where the COM
mands will be kept to full size for edu-
cational reasons.
Advices received at Washington
make 1t appear that the fate Of the
pending Danish West Indies treaty In
the Rigsdag is very uncertain. So mar

that the approval Of the treaty prac-
tically depends upon the state Of health
of one or two members, and 1t is in

Only Reason for Hesitation Due te
Fear That Many Men Will Not

Wtlkesbarre, Pa, Oct z0.-About TOO
Delegates Of the United Mine Workers
bf America from the hard coal mining
(district of Pennsylvania met In the
Nesb1t theater day to act on the pro-
poaal to settle the long strike by arhd-
ration. The convention was called by
President Mitchell under the rules OF

TRE ARMI AND NAVY.

There is a good deal of popular inter
est in the army and navy and this
should be encouraged, for upon these
depend our security and peace. The
United States does not need a large
standing army. The present regular
have a citizen soldiery so well organ
lied and disciplined as to be available
whenever an emergency shall arise and
this is earnestly recommended in the
report of the secretary of war. This
recommends legislation that will enaD1e
the government to put at least q quarter
of a million of men into the field In
stantly upon the declaration of war.
There certainly can be no reason
able objection to- this. Fol- a nation
Of nearly 100000 people a force of
state militia or national guard Of 25O,-
600 is not excessive. 1t would constitute
no menace to the people, but on the
contrary would constitute a secur-
ity for domestic peace and at the same
time a source Of de- nse in the event of
a foreign var Another recommends,
ton of the report of the secretary OF
war is the creation Of a general stafI
and there is no doubt that this win ulti.
mately be done, though it is not likely
that the recommendation will be adopted
at the present session of congress, the
opposition to this change from the old
order which defeated the proposition al
the first session being undoubtedly still
strong enough to prevent favorable &C
ton at this session.
AS to the navy, the secretary rightly
says that the country approves tht
strengthening OF our sea power. Their,
are not many intelligent Americans, Il
is safe to say, who do not believe that 4
is wise to goNon building up the nayy
until it shall have reached the power
that will absolutely assure defense o.
our seaports against any foe and tn,
adequate guardianship OF our insular pos
sessions and the protection Of our right
and interests everywhere. The nation
could make no greater mistake now thai
to forego the policy Of having a nav!
capable of meeting any emergency tina
may arise. While not entering int
rivalry in this respect with any othe
maritime power. we must not permi
ourselves to fall behind all of them an,
thus endanger or weaken our positio,

CROP STATISTICS CONTROVERSY.

There are indications Of sensational
developments in the controversy regard
ing the crop statistics of the Agricultural
department and the Census bureau. 1t
is stated that the director of the bureau
has plans under consideration for bring
cause surprise to some. but in regard to
the nature of the plans the officials of
| the Census bureau observe the utmost
secrecy. 1t is surmised. however, that
certain disclosures will be made tending
to show that the crop statistician Of the
Agricultural department has al least
not been as careful DIS he should have
been in hts method of obtaining reports
of acreage and crops, with the necessary
result that the department statistics
have been very inaccurate and mislead-
ing. There are also limitations Of a
more serious nature, but these are i'm
probable and may safely be disregarded.
There is evidently substantial ground
for a thorough investigation Of this mat
ter, and it would seem to be the duty
of congress to authorize Il. The wide
discrepancy between the crop statistics
of the Agricultural department and those
Of the Census bureau is conclusive as to
a faulty method Of obtaining these sta
tistics IN the part OF One or the other,
and 1t ought to be possible to ascertain
where the fault exists and provide a
correction. The Importance of having
crop statistics as nearly accurate as pos
sible is obvious and the present contro-
versy should result in greatly improving
this branch of public work.

HHAT A NEEDS

If Omaha is to become a city of 100000
inhabitants within the next decade, as
we are firmly convinced 1t will, its
growth will depend on it's ability to fur
nish steady employment at fair wages
to a constantly increasing number of
working men and working women.
Omaha enjoys wonderful advantages
as a distributing center, but it must be
more than a mere way station at which
trainloads of goods brought from other
points are broken up and re-shipped.
Omaha has achieved a worldwide rep
utation as one of the principal meat
packing places, but its full capacity to
transform the cattle. sheep and hogs
into food products has not ever been
tested.
Omaha is In the heart of the great
corn belt and at the apex of a state rap
idly becoming a great wheat country,
but a cereal and -four industry is yet to
be developed here.
Omaha Is the seat of one of the largest
silver and lead refneries in tie world,
but aside from it's white lead works has
not utilized the material at hand for es.
adjustments that will carry further the
processes that produce the finished
articles.
What Omaha needs to give the stimu-
lating impetus in all these fields and
many more is cheaper power. Whether
power Is secured by exploiting nearby
coal fields or boring oil wells, or using
water fall with electrical transmission, is
not the essential question, except so far
as it assures greater cheapness, ampler
capacity and reliable supply.
Cheap power for Omaha would start
at once the wheels of hundreds Of new
mills and factories. The new popula-
ton attracted by the enlarged field of
employment would increase the demand
for rentable dwellings and add substan-
tally to the trade of Ill retail mer-
chants. In turn, the q%uickening would
be speedily felt by investments of every
variety, particularly in real estate that
awaits an effective demand.
Omaha has for years been seeking an
opportunity to get cheaper power on rea-
sonable terms. 1t should not let the OPP
p~ortunity slip away now that it is pre-
scented.

among the nations. The way to main
tain peace and honor and the worlds
respect is to be well prepared for de-
Tense and for the just assertion Of our
rights. The secretary of the navy is
modest in his recommendations, though
he urges the wisdom Of continuing to in
crease u sea power. How rapidly this
should be done is Of course for congress
to determine and so long as that body is
under republican control it is safe to
say the naval power of the United
States will not be permitted to decline.
