Mr.. Curtis, of Kansas, made brief
but fervent defense of General Funston
against the criticism to which he has
been subjected.
The people of Kansas" he began,
"are proud of the brave and daring
record the gallant soldier made" Cap
plause on the republican side) Fun
ston has been the object of criticism
for an act which for daring of concep-
tion and execution ranks with the
greatest feats of arms-he captured
the new George Washington Aguin-
aldo"
"If another had accomplished what
Funston did," he said, "the democrats
would have made him their candidate
for president
Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, followed
with a bitter denunciation of General
Jacob Smith. Said he: 81 have heard
of Timor, the Tartar, and or the Sara
cen scourge, but thank God, it took
eighteen centuries after Calvary to
produce General Smith. He admits he
issued orders to make Samar howl
ing wilderness and to kill all over 10
years of age. Such a man should not
be permitted to stay in the army until
the sun goes down. He disgraced not
only himself but every man who wears
the uniform of his country. | hope
there is enough courage, enough patri
otism and Christianity at the other
end of the avenue to see that he is
stripped of his uniform within forty
eight hours"
Mr.. Slbley was vigorously applaud
ed by the democrats and some repub
licans. Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi
heartily endorsed Mr. Sibley's on
slaught upon Smith. whom he describ
ed as "a brute in uniform" But, | am
a little afraid" he continued, "he does
not strike the evil in the right quarter
1t is the system which should be
struck at, not the man who uncon
sciously carries out the spirit of the
system. Wherever there is war OF
conquest against weak and inferior
colored peoole, deeds of brutality nat
urally occur"

ROOSEVELT SENT REGRETS.

Washington, April 2S.-The navy
program for 1908, as presented by the
naval appropriation bill and its ac-
companying report filed today by
Chairman Foss of the house naval COM
mittee. does not take as optimistic a
view of our naval progress as is gen.
orally held. Mr.. Foss points out that
comparatively few of our ships have
any real fighting value. He accom-
panies this with statement of the
enormous naval armament and pro-
gram of other countries, particularly
Germany. It is shown by the report
that the total number of vessels built
and building is 1873 at total cost of
$235 ,0S2 ,209. OF .hese, it says few
have real fighting value. Our naval
prowess lies almost entirely in our
eighteen battleships, eight armoured
cruisers and twenty-one protected
cruisers. The rest of the ships cut lit
tie figure in actual war. A detailed
statement shows the appropriation
bill carries $77,659,3S6 which ia
slightly below the appropriation made
| last year.
