DURING THE session of the
Senate committee on the Philippines
on Monday. while listening to wit
ness describe the terrible tortures in
fiicted upon the unfortunate people OF
those islands by United States soldiers.
Senator Burrows, when he heard that
come OF the atrocities had been com.
mitted under the eyes OF an army sur
geou, referring to this surgeon in
charge Indignantly asked, "Dld any
one shoot him?" and the witness re-
piled in the negative and il pressed for
en- answer would have admitted that
the surgeon and soldiers regarded the
whole thing as q joke. And the tor
ture was Inflicted upon the Filipinos be-
cause they would not betray their own
people No wonder the sepsibilties OF
Senator Burrows were outraged. Sol
diers of all ages and In all countries
have been taught to revere, sd'
mire and initiate the heroism
of men who are true to and
suffer for their people, but the poor
Filipinos for this virtue are tortured
in way almost surprising human
comprehension by devils incarnate In
the shape OF soldiers Of the United
states-a nation which boasts Of being
humane, civilized and Christian, and
which declared war on Spain on the
ground of humanity" These ter.
rible stories OF tortures coming from
the far away possessions" are arOusiDg
indignation in the hearts of all right
thinking people In this country, and
demands are being made for halt.
TorturiDg was bad enough 10 the dark
ages but the world is too we'll enlight.
eued now for anything of the kind to
be tolerated.

Hitch in Peace Negotiations.

London, April l6.-The cabinet was
hurriedly summoned to meet at the
Foreign Office this morning. Politi-
clans generally believe that hitch has
occurred 10 the peace negotiations con-
corning the scoDe OF the general amnes.
ty. Tie Beers are DESTROYS of full pro.
lection for the Cape Colony rebels and
it Ia thought t5e government is opposed
to this. 1t is said that the meeting
was called to consider a further com.
munication from the Beers which ar
rived late yesterday evening. After
the cabinet meeting Premier Salisbury
visited King Edward. The report of
hitch in the peace negotiations today
caused oonsols to fall 11-16 per cent.
Amsterdam, April 16.--The impress
sion among the Beers here is that
the report of bitch has occurred In
the peace negotiations on the questions
OF general amnesty and the revokine
OF Lord Kitchener's banisbment procla-
nation is correct.

he left the party ali virtue had ceased

no bitterness towards the party of Lin

these great men could return to earth
they would fail to recognizes any of the
principles for which they stood in the
republican party of today.
He asserted that the party preferred

During Mr.. Turner's remarks the

without division. These changes were
