absence was refused and the President

TILLMAN READS HOAR A LECTURE
He nsiructs the Gentleman From Down East in

ing Senate Amendments 10
0leomargarine Bill
(By the Associated Press

Washington, D. c., April 23.-During
today's session of the Senate, Mr.. Raw
Inns, of Utah. continued his speech in
opposition to the bill providing for a
form of government for the Philippine Is
lands. He devoted the greater part of
his speech to a discussion of the testi-
mony presented to the Philippines Com
mittee relating to the administration of
the Water cure" to natives and to
other forms of torture inflicted upon the
Filipinos. He had not concluded his re-
n arks when the Senate adjourned.
During the early part of the session
the bill providing for a union railroad
station in Washington was under consid-
Grafton, but no action was taken.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.), participated in the
debate on this bill and soon found him
self in a wordy discussion with Mr. Till
man, who charged that the Massachu-
setts Senator had been discourteous to
him at which he was surprised because
the Senator who was always a stickler for
good order, Senatorial dignity and deco
rum, should set q high example that SEN
ators might initiate. But the Senator
from Massachusetts, said Mr. Tillman,
''habitually breaks certain rules of the
Senate and he should make allowance for
those of us who have their fobles and
short comings.'
Mr. Tiliman opposed the bill
Mr. Rawlins presented many cases OF
torture of FilipinOs, of the burning of
towns and of the Incarceration of Fill
pinos. All this, he said, was done to
carry to the Filipnos the benign admin
istration of the American government.
The war, he said, was to be waged re-
lentlessly and vigorously and the articles
of war were to be cast to the winds.
The war to be waged was not to be a war
of humanity but a war without mercy.
1t was unciviliZed warfare and without
excuse.
Mr.. Rawlins said that Walters men
performed the most thankless and un-
honored task ever soldiers were called
upon to perform. He declared that the
troops were ordered to make the island
"howling Wilderness" and kill every
body over the age of ten years.
Messrs. Mcmillan (Mich), Elkins CIV.
Va), and Berry (Ark), were appointed
conferees on the River and Harbor Bill.

IN CHAFFEE'S HANDS
Much Left to His Discretion
in Dealing With the
MOrOs.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, April 23.-The War De-
partment today made public the tele-
graphic cable correspondence which has
taken place up to date respecting the
Moro outbreak in Mindanao. The i'm
portant feature of the correspondence
is the closing chapter, showing that
General Davis expedition is not arbi-
trar:ly stopped but that General Chat
fee is allowed to exercise his discretion.
1t is believed that the presence of Gov
ernor Taft in Washington, is the eXpld-
nation of the Presidents direction that
General Chaffee shall confer with the
acting head of the Philippine Commits
sion before adopting hostile tactics.
The correspondence begins with the
cablegram given out last week, dated
Manila, April Is. in which General Chat
fee reoites the killing of the first Amer
ican soldier near Malabang and the
forming of an expedition under Baldwin
to arrest the piurderers.
In answer to this the following dis
patch was sent:
Washington, April 20, 1902.
"Cfaffee, Manila.
Expedition ordered under Baldwin
will not leave coast until you hear from
here. This will not, however, interfere
with complete preparation.
"CORBIN."
On April %, the following cablegrams
were sent General Chaffee:
"Chaffee. Manila.
'The President is anxious that 10 ex-
petition be made against Moros until
all efforts by negotiation have been ex-
hausted. To this end he desires that you
confer freely with the acting civil gov
ernor. In the event the force has TO be
sent, he directs that it go under the inn
mediate command of General Davis.
The President will give you all support.
but desires exercise of great care and
prudence. If possible avoid by all hon
orable means general war.
"CORBIN."
"Chaffee, Manila
with reference to previous cables on
subject it has been suggested to Presi-
dent that possibly surrender of the
Moros murderers might be effected by in
strumentality friendly Dattos President
desires this considered in conference
with Wright and to have assurance every
honorable peaceful remedy has been ex-
hauSted
"CORBIN."
General Chaffee responded to the last
cablegram by the dispatch, given out at
the White House last night, and published
this morning stating that to withdraw
all the American forces would ruin our
prestige; to withdraw part of the forces
would be dangerous.
To this staterent, the following re-
sponse was made today:
Washington, april %, 1902
"Chaffeo, Manila.
''Your cable of yesterday has been sub
mitted by the Acting Secretary of War to
the President who directs that you keep
in mind the Presidents orders, but of
course do nothing that VIII impair our
prestige or in any other way imperil the
army. If after the expiration of the time
named in your proclamation and after all
possible diplomatic and friendly methods
have been exhausted your demand for the
Moros murderers has not Hecn met, you
will act upon the lines that ia your judg-
ment will best serve to bring about peace
and order in the island of Mindanao.
