DARING BURGLARS.
Borrowed Horse and Buggy and Re
turned Them When Through.


Des Moines, May 2S.-A new coat
from which the tailor tags had not
been removed, found in a buggy be.
longing to the Midway Coal company
by the night Waterman in the rear of
the Masonic Temple. was the first
inkling of one of the most daring bur
glaries in the history of Des Moines.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the tailoring establishment known as
the Glasgow, in the west end of the
Masonic Temple, had been burglarized
during the night and clothes amount
ing in value to $500 had been re-
moved. Sixty coats and vests and
seventy-five pairs of pants were taken.
The burglars entered the building
by boring hole in the rear door about
four inches in diameter. Through this
hole one had thrust his hand and had
turned the spring lock. Entrance was
then an easy matter. Most of the
clothes taken had been made up and
Mr.. Bailey had left them in an alcove
awaiting the arrival of the owners.
Twenty-Five suits were taken from
this corner. A large amount of cloth
was also removed, the exact value IF
which has not yet been ascertained.
The gas lamp almost directly over the
alcove was still burning just as il had
been left when the store closed.
The burglars conceived a novel plan
of removing the goods from the rear
of the store. They went to the barn of
the Midway Coal Company near by,
and hitched the horse to the buggy
found there and drove TO the building.
The buggy was loaded with the plum
der. which was then removed and Sc
GREETED. This having been done the
buggy and horse were returned to the
barn, the horse unhitched and left
in its STALL The night Waterman this
morning found a coat in the buggy
and this led TO the ivestigation.

Washington, May 31.-Senate-Hiss-
ing In the senate is no unusual that
when II occurred In the course OF the
Philippine debate today 1t created
sensation. Spooner, of Wisconsin. was
speaking. and referred incidentally to
the story that thousand Filipinos
had been put to death by American
troops in trenches which they were
compelled to dig. Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, SAID that the story had been
denied by the father of the soldier
who started 1t. and that the war de-
partment has cabled to General Chat
fee to ascertain the facts. Carmack.
Of Tennessee, interrupted to say that
no doubt the soldiers would deny the
story, as all the soldiers In the Philip
pinos had been required to do. His re-
marks were greeted with Kisses from
the galleries, and demonstrations of
disapproval calling out sharp rap
ping of the gavel from the chair.
Spooner occupied nearly five hours of
today's session in concluding his
speech begun on thursday. His earn
estness and eloquence attracted the
attention of all senators and hundreds
of occupants of the crowded galleries.
He maintained that the United States
could not leave the Philippines like
a coward" and abandon a people who
had come under our protection. thus
surrendering them to tyranny and
chaos" He did not believe in the ad-
mission of the Philippines to the Union
as states, but in the conduct of the
Islands nothing savoring of imperial
ism had been suggested except for
party purposes. He charged that an
incessant effort had been made by
the minority to put this country In
the wrong and to stain the country
with dishonor. In the course of his
speech. Spooner became involved in
spirited colloQuy with Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts. during which Spooner read
statute of the state of Massachu-
sets, which offered a reward of 800
for the scalps of male Indians over
the age of twelve years. Hoar de-
clared that it was a cruel and barbar-
Gus law, and Spooner himself did not
attempt to justify it, simply citing t
as an instance Of cruelty In the fight
ing of savage natives. Pettus. of Ala
bama. discussed some of the legal
phases Of the Philippine question. and
McLaurin, Of Mississippi. insisted that
the democrats in the senate had not
slandered the army, as had been
charged. Carmack. of Tennessee, oc-
cupied the floor at the night session.
In the course of his remarks he declar-
ed that it was evident from the tone
of President Roosevelt's Memorial
Day address that the cry of lynchings
in the south was to be the admins
tration's defense of the outrages in the
Philippines.

ASPIRATIONS OF FILIPlNOS

status.
Washington, June 2.-Felipe Buen.
camio, formerly of Auginaldos cabi-
net, was before the house committee
on insular affairs. He said his coun-
try, the Philippines, was like a sick
man convalescing from a dangerous
illness. 1t was still bleeding from the
wounds of war. Its aspirations were
those of Washington-liberty with JUS
tice, under American sovereignty.
which they loved. They looked to
congress to give them a just and lib
eral government. He detailed the
facts connected with the early upris-
ing of the Filipinos.
Aguinaldo was an idol and the peo-
pie believed him when he told them
that Dewey had promised them indie
pendence. He reviewed all that had
been done since the outbreak. and
spoke of the gradual extension OF
American authority and practical
pacification of the greater part of the
islands. There were now 500 NUM-
cipalities established and they had
proved satisfactory.
Under the Taft system he said the
Filipinos had greater liberty than they
would have enjoyed under the Aguin-
aldo government had 1t been estab-
lished. Governor Taft was now the
idol Of the people. He said the peo-
pie of the Philippines would like to
have their political status fixed
whether they are Americans or Fill
pinos. They preferred that they
should be Americans. The happiness
of the people depended upon Ameri-
can sovereignty.
Representative Jones of Virginia
called attention to the fact that Sixto
Lopez differed with Buencamio. and
said that the minority wanted to have
Lopez summoned Several republi-
cans protested because Lopez had not
been in the Philippines in recent
years. There was some discussion
of a warm character.
II did not think 1t would so offend
the minority to have this witness to
exonerate troops" said chairman
Cooper
II resent that insinuation," said
Williams OF Massachusetts.
"And his remark is not In accord
ance with facts" said Patterson, of
Tennessee.
The motion to summon Lopez was
lost by party vote.

Haskell and her infant child were
killed in Cedar Falls by an Illinois
Central passenger train. Mrs. Haskell
