tary, Sent In.
Washington, April 29-The president
to-day sent to the senate the nomination
of William H. Moody, Massachusetts, to
be secretary of the navy.
ashington, April 29.-At the concIu-
sion of routine business in the seuatc to-
day Nj. RaWlins (Utah) made a personal
statement as to a report that in a speech
recently he had in effect characterized
General Chaffee as a bastard william" on
account of alleged barbarities. Mr.. Raw
Inns said that an unintentlonal injustice
had been done him and quoted from his
speech in which he said:
| am unable to Ak the responsible head and
emanation of these barbarities which would
disgrace the annals of even semi-civilized
country, not to speak Of the nation which
claims to hold aloft the escutcheon offhonor
and Justice and fair dealing. Did Chaffee,
alone, una1ded, in GOODNESS and in brutality
and in savage and unrelenting disregard Of
every human sentiment or possibility of hui
man suffering conceive this ubiquitous
scheme, or from what diabolcal source was
it derived? The American people ought to
know. Is there any penalty beneath the sun
adequate to be meted out to the bastard VII
lain who has thus brought dishonor upon the
American flag and the American people?
The senate then began consideration of
the bill to rattfy an agreement with the
Sioux tribe of Indians of the Rosebud
reservation in South Dakota.

THE VIEWS OF
GEN. WHEELER
He Speaks Highly of the Fill

Appreciate Kindness.
He Expects Peace and Order
Soon and Says the Islands
Will Be Americanized.

New York, April 29.-In a lengthy in
terview, published by the Herald, General
Joseph Wheeler, retired who is at the
home of his sister in Brooklyn, has dis
cussed the Philippines, in the light of
recent Developments from his point of
view, after six months service there in
command of a brigade.
My service was confined,' he said, ''to
the section of the country extending for
ABOUT l29 miles above Manila and some
thirty or forty miles in BREADTH It is a
thickly populated country. Its cities have
schools and the people are more or less
educated. The impression 1 had from
these people was that all they wanted was
an honest, fair, just government, and 1
found them very appreciative of kind
ness.
I'VE had great many fights with the
insurgents, but in no instance was there
any cruelty by our soldiers or so far as
know, any killing except according to
the rules Of war.
II never heard of any water cure, or
any other in1iction of torture upon the
FilipinOs."
rs 1t true, he was asked, that Sher-
mans army, on its march to the sea- was
guilty Of such acts as have been attributed
to our troops in the Philippines?"
1T is true that Shermans army did

| replied General Wheeler. thoughtfully.
My associations with the Filipinos,'
he continued, "led me to believe that they
are not malevolent people. They are
responsive to kind methods and appreciate
them, and their general expressions to me
were that they should love to be citizens
of the United States if they be equals of
| the Americans, but they do not want to be
connected with any government where
they will be regarded as interiors"
In your opinion he was asked, ''can
the United States assmilate the Filpinos
without DISCRIMINATING them"
with the exception of a few localities
peace and quiet and order exist in the
Philippines now, quite up to the standard
of our own territories, and am convinced
this condition will be universal through
out these islands in very short time.
Americans will go there because they
find advantages that are offered by few
countries and in few years they will BIZ

Prudent housewives will prepare to

day. The annual agreement with the
bakers union expires Thursday. A year

the employing bakers, the union gave
notice that beginning May /, 1902, they
would insist upon the abolition of night
work They accordingly included this de-
mand in the new agreement for the en-
suing year, and Saturday night informed
the employers that the condition would
have to be accepted or they would de-
cline to go to work next Monday. The
new agreement also contains a provision
that none but union men be employed
after May 1.
In the matter of wages there appear
to be no differences between employers
and employees. It is stated that many of
the shops have been paving more than the

speaker overruled the point of order,
whereupon Mr.. Craemer appealed from
the decision Of the chair.
Mr.. Dalzell promptly moved to lay the
appeal on the table. When the speaker
put the motion a great chorus from both
sides went up in support Of Mr.. Dalzell's

arose in demand for the other side.
