h'N-SoIdIers Testify That Instances
of Cruelty Were Exception and
Not the Rule.
washington, June 12.-Mark H. Evans
OF Des Moines, Ia, formerly of the
Ihlrty-second Volunteer Infantry, was
witness before the Senate Philippine
committee to-day. He testified to
seeing the water cure administered on
TOUR different occasions in the prov
lnce of Batan. also to the burning of
villages, where natives were ducked
under water for half-minute at
time to compel them to tell where arms
were located. With these exceptions,
he said, the treatment of the natives
by the troops had generally been kind.
Mr.. Evans said he had been present
at the burning of four or FIVE native
villages and that the destruction of
these places had been due to the pres
ence of insurgents. The orders were
to destroy all the native huts along the
coast near the mountains for thirty
miles IN Batan province, so as to force
the natives to come in, and this, he
said, was done
Soldiers Were Humane.
5. j. Norton of Los Angeles, late pri-
vate of Company L, Eighteenth United
States Infantry, said that except in
isolated cases the treatment accorded
the natives by United States soldiers
was humane and all that could be ex-
pected or desired
In the isolated cases referred to, he
SAID, the treatment was not consistent
with humanity and the laws of war
he described one occasion where he
had assisted in administering the IVA
ter cure to a native. The mans
mouth was forced open with a stick
and the water poured down his throat.
The effect of the treatment was tenn
porary strangulation. In this case the
native, after receiving the cure, de-
Hvered up number of rifles and pis-
tolls. He had witnessed the burning
or number of barrios.
1T was the practice in marching
through villages" Mr.. Norton said,
when fired upon by the natives to
Immediately burn their houses"
He took issue with Senator Culber-
son on the subject of the burning of
villages, and declared it to be a mill
tary necessity.

PeIletan Between TWO Fires.

The launching of the French steel
cruiser Kleber which took place at
Bordeaux the other day, has given rise
to an amusing dispute. La Lanterne
and some other Paris papers strongly
urged Camille Pelletan, the minister
of marine. to affirm his convictions by
forbidding the religious ceremony Of
christening the vessel. A crusade on
the other side was started by the re-
dictionary organs. The latter gained
their point. The Kleber was solemnly
baptized and blessed by Able Har-
mann. NJ. Pelletan is now accused of
being a man without the courage of
his convictions by the socialist and
free thought press.

were not necessarily bound by the

ment governing them all had been

Reading prices would be followed. 1t
was learned that the coal dealers will
find themselves handicapped after coal
begins to arrive, IL they make an
agreement to keep up the prices. A
representative of the New York, On
tario & Western said
The dealers may not have any idea
Of combining to raise prices, but they
dare not do II anyhow"
How would the companies prevent
it," he was asked.
DO as they did to prevent the poor
from paying exorbitant prices for coal
by the pail. They started depot at
which the poor could get a coal at
fair price. If the dealers should COM
blne to keep up the retail prices, the
operators would go into the market
and sell coal direct at retail"
