AMERICANS FIRED FIRST.
siOns-NeGrOes Would Do Well in
Philippines.

Gen. Hughes Makes Some Admis-
siOns-Negroes Would Do Well in
Philippines.
Washington, March S.-Senator Pat
terson continued his questioning of
Gen Hughes in the Senate Committee
on the Philippines to-day, taking up
the beginning of hostilities in Febru-
airy, 1899. The witness repeated his
previous statement that the first shot
had been fired by an American. Sena-
tor Paterson asked Gen. Hughes what
he had meant when he said upon hear
ing the firing at first, 1.-THE thing is
on" After some sparring between the
two, the witness said:
st felt that they had made an attack
upon us, and that we must defend our
selves"
Did you mean simply that you
should defend yourselves, or that you
should make an attack also?"
81 had no intention beyond what
have stated"
Mr.. Patterson then sought to bring
out the fact that the attack was made
before the Filipinos were ready, and
Gen. Hughes admitted that the Filipino
leaders were absent in conference at
Malolos He said that hostilitles were
so active the next day that there was
no opportunity to attempt to heal the
breach.
Gen. Hughes said the Filipinos made
their best fight on Feb. 5, 1899. He de-
MED that in subsequent battles they
were slaughtered, but many were killed
when cornered and continued to fight
when they should have surrendered.
A number of questions were asked
by Senator Dubois on points covered
by the Philippine government Dill now
nending in the committee. In reply to
these Cen. Hughes said that he thought
that white labor would be a total fail
IRE in the Philippines, and that other
labor would be necessary there. The
natives are he said, physically weak
and lazy and the witness thought the
only resort would be to continue to
import Chinese and Japanese laborers
for the present, at least.
Cen Hughes also expressed the
opinion that it would be well to en-
courage negro emigration to the Phil
ippines from the United States. He
added that the colored troops taken
to Samar mixed readily with the ma
tiyes and many of the latter shed
tears when the negro soldiers were re-
moved. Next to the American negro
he thought the Japanese most desira-
bic. The Chinese labor was the most
available, but there was prejudice
against them on the part of the Fill
pinos.
Speaking of the American chamber
of commerce of Manila, he said it is
composed largely of Englishmen and
other Europeans, who did not care a
snap for American interests"

Dr. Heinrich Mueller Tells of suf-
ferings of the Boer RecOncentra-
dos.
Washington, March S.-Dr. Heinrich
Mueller, one of the European diplo-
matte representatives of the Orange
Free State, called upon Secretary Hay
at the State Department to-day and
had a half hours interview with him.
AS in the case of the other Boer rep
resentatives, DIR. Mueller was received
upon the distinct understanding that
he came in a private capacity and
not as diplomatic representative.
Unlike the preceding callers, he did
not address himself to the subject of
intervention or mediation, nor did he
breach the question of the mule ship
ments to South Africa. His sole con-
Germ was the concentration camps in
South Africa. He told the Secretary
pitiful tale of the sufferings of, and
frightful mortality among the recon-
centrados, the death rate among the
childrel in the camps running as high
as SO per- cent, according to his state
meat
Secretary Hay gave his caller SYM
pathetic reception but was unable to
make any promise that the United
States government would change the
attitude toward the subject that 1t has
consistently assumed.

Washington, March S.-Desiring to

rotary Root recently cabled inquiries
to Commissioner Wright and Gen.
Chaffee, which have brought forth the
following replies:

War, facts from Morong are: About

mapped. Perpetrators this act were new

Manila, March S.-Secretary of War,
Washington: There is no foundation
for statement of instruction in Mo-
rong, or that inhabitants are fleeing.
Small fragments Ladrone bands dis
persed and driven out of the mountains
of Laguna by Bells operations, and

ing about fifteen guns, gathered in

stabulary under native sergeant
attacked but made no impression, be-
ing short of ammunition. Assistant
Chief Atkinson on ground in few
hours with adequate force of constab-
ulary, assisted in every way by ma
tive governor of province and inhabit-
ants, made pursuit; have already
killed two, injured one, captured six
and are running them down. Presi-
dente has been released without harm.
So far from there being any hostility
on the part of the masses to American
authority they give us full Informal
ton of what is passing and aid us
as much as possible. These ladrones
do not interfere with whites, and con-
fine operations to levying tribute upon
and occasionally kidnapping natives in
remote localities. Nothing new in this

London. March S.-The editorial sar-
o,em with which so many of the Lon

IN no small extent suggested and fos-
tered by the ill-natured kilograms of
their special correspondents in Amer

Hospitality was almost invari-
ably represented here as an
outburst of sickening sycophancy,
in which all the Americans well known
socially, We're represented as endeavor-
ing to out-vie each other as to who
should pay the most self-demeaning
obeisance to the royal visitor. The
particular offender in this respect is
the Daily Mail, which, in spite of it's
alleged friendship for America, de-
voted much space to cablegrams de-
picting the wife of an eX-minister to
Austria, spending weeks in teaching
Chicago women how to curtsy, and
detailing the alleged upheaval in Chi
Cago as to whether the Prince should
visit the stock yards. Such alleged in
cidents as these were made so promi-
nent that the average Englishman was
inclined to believed that Prince Henry's
tour was only huge travesty on him
self, and on the American people.

This Step by President May BE

Reciprocity Through.
Washington, March S.-Speaker Hen
derson and Chairman Payne of the
Ways and Means Committee. and SEN
ator Allison, a member of the FL
White House to-day. presumably in
nance Committee, called at the
relation to the pending controversy
over Cuban reciprocity. There was
the most positive declination to dis
cuss the purposes of the call. 1t was
said, however, that the President
had in no way changed his attitude
favorable to reciprocity. In this con-
nection there were renewed intima-
tons of a special message which
would clearly set forth the Presidents
views on the subject.
The Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee favorable
to Cuban reciprocity have held long
conferences to perfect their organiza-
ton for carrying forward the contest.
In connection with these conferences
the belief has gained ground that there
would be q special message, If it
proved to be necessary.
Inefe was renewed talk OF compro-
mise to-day, one report being that ~
per cent. reciprocity might be substi-
tuted for 20 per cent. Both sides, how
ever, denied the IL per cent. compro-
mise story.
The plan of having a committee visit
Cuba and investigate the needs of
Cuba for reciprocity was revived dur
ing the day and was discussed as a
possible solution, although there was
no indication that those in authority
were ready to accept the plan.

RUDYARD KlPLlNG'S VIEWS.

Makes Characteristic Comment Up
pines and similarity to British In
south Africa.
London, March SAN interesting let
ter from Rudyard Kipling has been
published here. Dealing with the Phil
ippines, he replied to a Shanghai cor
respondent who drew his attention to
American methods in those islands as
follows:
"AIl you say about the Philippines,
the conflict there between the Arneri-
cans, military and civil, and
the pig headedness of the mill
tary and their habit of setting
bull dogs to catch RABBITS, is
Immensely cheering to me, because
it is precisely what we are doing in
South Africa. You cannot persuade a
big country full of prosperity that 1t
does not know everything. When it has
lost few thousand sons and a few
thousand millions sterling, it may,
to understand that it has
taken hold of the wrong
end of the stick. But that is a great
deal to hope for, and probably will not
come in our time. / am very glad to
learn, on your showing, that the
American seems to be 'constitutionally
incapable of admitting himself wrong
and frankly putting himself in the
right because l did not like to think
of the Americans as any more logical
than ourselves. OF course, what new
country wants is high-toned despot
of unlimited powers and absolute in
tegrity, but as America and England
are both free peoples, we must just
muddle along in the expensive, waste
full, butcherly fashion that attends our
methods"

COPIED FROM UNITED STATES
Mai. Arthur Lee Tells of Britain's
New Army Regulations and In
creased Pay for Privates.

London, March S.-The new army
regulations proposed by the war secre-
tary, Mr.. Brodrick, providing for in
creased pay and other reforms, which
have created so much comment, APP

"At last we have taken out a leaf
from your excellent book, although l do
not believe we have gone quite so far
in that direction as we might, or hope
we may. Under Mr. Brodrick's pro>
infantry now receives almost as much

With this change, which / frequently
advocated while military attache at
Washington, we hope to get class of
recruits similar to those secured in
America. Under the old pay we were
gradually lowering the physical stand
ard, yet still finding it hard to get men,
while our desertion percentage was in
creasing at a rate which showed there
was something wrong with the sys-
TEN. The American army was the
only other voluntarily enlisted body in
the world with which we could make
servieeable comparisons. the continent
al armies, owing to CONSUMPTION and
other causes, being perfectly worthless
as examples. A year ago Mr.. Brod-
rick pooh-poohed the idea of copying
the United States Now he has changed
his mind, and has done what the ma
jority of the members of the House, re-
CARELESS of party. believe to be the very
best thing that could have happened to
the army. Last year the government
Indicated it's fears that it might have
to resort to CONSUMPTION. The present
move banishes all possibility of this,

ing to go even further in copying the

Mr.. Sims of Tennessee rose to a
question of privilege in connection

report on the permanent census bill.
He contended that the statement Of
the conferees with reference to Sec
ton 5, which originally placed all the
employees of the bureau at the time
of the passage of the act under the
protection of the Nvil service, had
misled and deceived the House.
The Speaker held that as the whole
subject had been disposed of no ques-
ton of privilege was presented. Among
the speakers on the rural free deliv-
cry bill were Mr. Griggs of Georgia
for the bill, and Messrs. Talbert and
