ORDERS FAITHFULLY oBEYED
Major Waller Says when He Left
Samar Was HOwItng
Wilderness.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-Major Wal
Ter, U. S. ". c., by far the most inter-
esting parsonage to reach here on the trans
port Warren, on which was brought the
war-scarred remnant of the Ninth infantry
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 worst
measures said Major Waller in an inter.
view. "You would hate to see your
wounded and dead mutilated. l cannot de-
scribe the fearful condition in which we
found some of the bodies of the men under
my who were murdered by insur-
rectos.
II received both verbal and written
orders from General Jacob Smith to kill
all insurrectos who were caught armed or
who refused to surrender. 1t was the only
thing that could be done, and l never
questioned General Smiths orders with one
exception. This exception l refuse to
state.
"A fair estimate Of the number Of ma
tives killed by the men of my command
would be 400 to 500. These were all killed
In battle with the exception of eleven car
riers, insurrectos 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 breast
works of a fort my men were storming.
II have fought in every country in the
world except Australia" said Major Waller,
but Samar-well, hell is a winter resort
compared to Samar."
The major spoke huskily through a deep
cold that he contracted during the home
voyage on the transport, but he was OBJ
viously sincere. His dark eyes snapped
and his ~postrils twitched at the mention OF
the island that General Jacob H.. Smith
had ordered him to convert into a bowling
wilderness.
81 left Samar a bowling wilderness. They
tried to make 1t that for US, but we made
1t a bowling wilderness for them"
Want any more of it?" was asked.
mo, I'm getting to be an old man now
His face relaxed. I'm in my sos. Besides,
they've surrendered, and it's all over. It's
always all over when they surrender in the
Philippines" and a sarcastic smile curved
under his military moustache.
Have you anything to say, major, re-
garding your court-martial on the charge
Of executing 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. l OBJ
jected to being court-martialed; it was not
done at my pleasure. l was not consulted
in the matter; l was simply court
martialed.

ROCK ISLAND IN NO HURRY
VIII Dispose of the Virgins Ferry
Controversy After other Mat
ters Are Settled.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-W. S. McChesney,
jr., general manager Of the Terminal asso-
citation, was n~oncommittal when told Of the
dispatch from New York stating that the
Virgins ferry controversy had been COM
promised upon the basis of the Rock Island
surrendering and coming into the Terminal
with general proprietary rights equal to
the other roads.
II can neither deny nor affirm the re-
port" he said. Neither would he deny
that the negotiations had progressed to a
point where such a settlement was assured.
NJ. A. Low, general counsel Of the Rock
Island west of the Mississippi, stated at
the Planters hotel that the final terms Of
the compromise had not been settled, but
he clearly intimated they would likely
come to a successful conclusion upon the
basis already outlined.
There is no great hurry about t." said
Mr.. Low. THE Rock Island has its hands
full in completing the old Colorado line to
Kansas City and in Strengthening out the

FIXING CREDITORS RIGHTS
Court Asked to Say Who Shall Re-
ceive Money from Omcer
Estate,

The district court has been asked to de-
termine whether the creditors of the on
Ger d Pussy bank, who failed to file their
claims against the estate OF Thomas OfHcer
within the six months. shall share in the
distribution OF the assets OF that estate
the same as those creditors who took the
precaution to file their claims within the
statutory time. Some months ago, before
the appointment Of ]. ]. Stewart as admin
istrator OF the Thomas Ohicer estate, Judge
Macy made an order to the effect that all
creditors OF the bank who had filed their
claims with the receivers within the pre-
scribed time should be considered creditors
OF the fourth class OF the Oficer estate.
Yesterday Lars Jensen and other creditors
OF the bank. whose claims aggregate up
ward Of 2 5000, filed a petition asking that
their claims against the ohicer estate be
advanced from the fourth to the third class
and they be permitted to participate in
the 5 per cent which Administrator Stewart
is now paying out Of the assets of that
estate.
The request is resisted by Administrator
Stewart. who denies the right Of the fourth
class creditors to share alike with those
OF the third class. He contends that the
question OF the liability OF the Ohicer es-
