PHIblPPINBS War MOST
HUMANE EVER FOUGHT
Macarthur Says Excessive Re-
bel Fatality IS Not Slaughter.
Disproportion in Killed Resulted From
Difference Between Efficiency
and Inefficiency.

At the opening OF the session Of the
Senate Committee on the Philippines yes
terday. Chairman Lodge laid before tho
committee the report OF the governor Of
Tayabas. which was called for by the
Democratic members, containing serious
charges against the military administra-
tion of affairs in that province. The re-
port is described IN another column.
The examination Of General Macarthur
was then continued.
Mr.. Patterson asked II. when the pro-
portion Of killed and wounded in rival
armies was twenty to one. as It was be-
tween the Filipinos and America ms.
war.
No, sir; 1t was not slaughter" was
the reply. 'it has been the most humane
war ever fought. The disproportion re-
suited simply from the difference between
efficiency and inefflciency.''
In response to Mr.. Carmack, General
Macarthur said that the unrestricted en-
try Of Chinese laborers into the Philip
pines would have as its immediate effect
the more rapid development of the ISL
I,
would be very disastrous in establishing
a low grade of labor wage and preventing
the advancement of the Filipinos to the
American standard.
At the conclusion OF General MacAr-
thurs testimony Senator Culberson re-
ferred to Governor Taft's telegram Of de-
nial that he had withheld from the COM
mission the report Of the governor of
Tayabas willfnlly.
The Senator quoted from the records OF
the committee the exact language Of the
request made Of Governor Taft for the
reports of the provincial governors. and
declared that manifestly the Tayabas re-
port was then in Governor Taft's hands
In not giving 1t to the committee to-
gether with the others he had furnished
Governor Taft showed lack of candor ut
least, Mr. Culberson asserted.
General Macarthur will conclude his
testimony today.

lowed with a speech in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Hoar (Rep.. Mass) declared that he
was not Indifferent to anything that
threatened the lofty quality of American
citizenship. and he regarded the bill as
affecting that question. 1t was not race.
he said. that ought to be struck at: it was
degradation. The pending legislation re-
quired that the Chinese laborer should be
kept out. although he possessed every
virtue under heaven. while the Syrian Ia
borer should be admitted. although he
possessed every vice under heaven.
At Close of His Life.

much feeling. mark the closing of my

House Committee Thinks Filipinos
Should Have Promises.

The report of the House Committee on
lnsaiar Affairs to accompany Its bill for
the establishment Of a civil government in
the Philippine Islands. was submitted yes
terday. Unlike the Senate bill, the House
measure provides for an elective lcgisIa-
tive assembly for the islands as soon as
peace is restored.
The report states that the committee be-
licves the present is an opportune time to
make definite promise to the Philippine
people that they shall also have a share
in the central government OF the archi-
pelago.
This idea has been urged by the Dem
ocrats in the Senate. and also by Senator
Hoar. The Republican leaders In that
body have earnestly opposed the making
Of any promises as to the future govern
