BOLOED TO DEATH
Five American Soldiers Murdered by
FilipinOs

Manila, June 10. Friendly natives
in Manila say a report is current
among their countrymen that the
five soldiers of the Fifth cavalry who
were captured by the insurgents May
30 have been boloed to death near
Teresa, in Morong province, Luzon.
This report has not been confirmed by
the American authorities of that dis
trict.
Twenty-Five members of .band of
insurgents who were captured while
fighting with General Lukban in Sa-
mar took the oath of allegiance to the
United States and were subsequently
released. Four members of the band
were killed in the engagement which
resulted in the capture of their COM
panions. The twenty-five who have
sworn allegiance have :seen General
Chaffee and have promised to give
him all the assistance in their power
in the work of maintaining the present
peace conditions in Samar.
A commission has been sent to Sa-
mar to appoint Senior :Llorentes gov
ernor of the island and to establish
civil government there.
1t is expected that a general ann
nesty will be declared July l. Thlr4
amnesty will result lin the release
the Filipino prisoners now in t
island of Guam. h
The prospects in the island OF Leg
for speedy termination of the arm
resistance there are bright. Since
ports of the island were closed, 8
renders of insurgents to the nat
constabularylhave occurred daily.

ence to the statements made by F. B.
Thurber, in subcommittee of the

city bill, said:
"Some persons in this country seem
to forget the fact that when l was
military Governor of Cuba it was my
duty to protect the interests of Cuba
in every possible way. | believed my
duty to be the safeguarding of Cuba's
welfare, and all did was intended to
carry out that aim. 1t must be re-
membered that l was not representing
Nebraska, Ohio, or any other state in
in the Union, but the people and the
island of Cuba. | deemed it an essen
tial part of my duty to supply money
to let the people of the United States
know the full requir' ments of the
Island OF CuDa.
"Do you know how much money
was supplied to Mr.. Thurber or the
United States Export association
through the military government of
Cuba?" the Globe-D Democrat man
asked.
mot exactly, but it is on record.
see, according to the voucher pre-
sented to the subcommittee of the sem
ate yesterday, that there is one speci-
fic sum OF $500 mentioned. 1t was
probably three, or, possibly, four
times that amount"
"Why did you expend the money
through through this source?"
1.-THE association had directory of
names OF persons to whom the litera-
ture on Cuban reciprocity should be
sent. | thought it q very good list,
and decided to subscribe money for
supplying literature to these persons.
In doing so [ was certainly helping
the cause of Cuba, OF which l was
Governor.

HE is FOR IRRIGATION
In Every Way Mr.. Roosevelt is Try
ing to Secure Passage of Bill.

Roosevelt is using his influence in
every possible way to secure the
enactment of the irrigation bill into
law at the present session Of Congress

GOING TO PIECES
Opposition to Cuban Reciprocity is
Weakening

Washington, June IA. There is no
decided change in the situation with
regard to the Cuban reciprocity meas
ure. The most encouraging sign TO
a final solution of the difficulty is the
fact that the beet sugar senators don't,
want the house bill to pass, because i'd
affords them no relief and places them
in dilemma whose likeliest solutionl
is regarded to be the f. al support of
the administration. 1-.9 measure in
troduced by Senator Elkins for the
annexation of Cuba is looked uponIas
assmeasure aside from the tissues that
are troubling the senate at this time.
While it has many sympathizers in
the upper branch Of congress, it is
not regarded as vital question a
the present juncture.
The so-called insurgents are kee'
ing up their courage by whistlir
They say they are determined to fl
to the last, but the administrat
men are feeling hopeful that the o
sition will go to pieces and tina
question will meet with a satisfS
solution in due time.
The present plans of the suppol
of Cuban reciprocity are to press
question to an issue next week.
was the result of the conferences
today and yesterday. The Repr
can members of the committed
Cuban relations will meet either
day or Tuesday, and finally .,
upon the exact terms of the bill {
reported as a substitute for the I
bill. The measure thus agreed
will be re ported to Republican
Gus to be held Tuesday or We
day, and if the caucus indorsei
measure it then will be brought / w
a meeting Of the full commit,
Cuban relations and reported to
senate. The desire is to have all IL Y
done by the time the isthmiam can
bill is disposed of on Thursday, (
that the reciprocity bill may be givG
the first place in the order of business
The reciprocity advocates still pro
fess the utmost confidence in their
ability to pass through the senate any
bill that may be recommended by the
committee and caucus. They count
largely upon the unwillingness Of
Republican members to align them
selves strictly with the opositioK
against bill that has been made a
party measure by the presidents mes
sage, and there are indications that
at least in some instances this prog
nostication will prove sound.

Until Next Session.

committe on territories today decided
to take up for consideration early in
the next session OF congress the omni-
bus statehood bill, admitting into the

New Mexico and Arizona. The de-
cision was reached upon motion Of
Senator Nelson, and the motion was
adopted by strict party vote, the Re-
publicans voting in the affirmative and
the Democrats in the negative. This
vote was preceded by two votes on
motions made by Democratic members

motion was made by Senator Bate,
and was voted down, the Republicans

San Francisco, June 13.--Major
W.T.. Waller, United States marine
corps, who arrived here on the trans
port Warren, which brought the
remnant of the fighting Ninth lnfan-
try into port, expressed emphatic
views in the matter of the war in the
Philippines.
"You can't stop the revolution in
the Philippines unless you take the Sc
verest measures, said Major Waller
in an interview. "You would hate to
see your wounded and dead mutilated.
cannot describe the fearful condi-
tion in which we found some of the
bodies of men under my command
who we're murdered by insurrects. I
received both verbal and written
orders from General Jacob Smith to
kill all insurgents who were caught
armed or who refused to surrender.
1t was the only thing that could be
done, and never questioned General
Smiths orders with one exception.
This exception / refuse to state. A
fair estimate of the number of natives
killed by the men Of my command
would be 400 to 500. These we're all
killed in battle with the exception Of
eleven carriers, insurrects at heart,
who were tried by court-martial and
shot. There was only one woman
shot and she was only slightly
wounded. She happened to be in the
breastworks of fort my men were
storming.
''I have fought in every country in
the world except Australia" said
Major Waller, ''but Samar--well,
hell is winter resort compared to
Samar."
The major spoke huskily through a
deep cold that he had contracted on
the home voyage, but he was OBJ
viously sincere. His dark eyes
snapped at the mention of the island
that General Jacob II. Smith had
ordered him to convert into bowling
wilderness.
~ left Samar bowling wilder
ness. They tried to make it that for
us, but we made it bowling wilder
ness for them"
"Want any more of it?" was asked.
"No; I'm getting to be an old man
now." His face relaxed.
"I'm in my fifties. Besides, they we
surrendered, and it's all over. It's
always all over when they surrender
in the Philippines" he smiled sarcas-
tically.
"Have you anything to say, Major,
regarding your court-martial on the
charge of causing the death of Samar
natives without trial, or was that the
charger"
"The charge against me-" he said,
was murder Yes, one plain word,
murder. And as for having anything
to say about the court-martial, of
course l have. | objected to being
court-martialed. 1t was not done at
my pleasure; l was not consulted in
the matter. | was simply court
martialed l know who caused that
