WHAT MILES SAW IN THE PHILIPPINES
Tortures We're Pracsticed Upon the Natives
Prisoners Shot and BayOneted to Death.

General Nelson A. Miles report OF what he
saw in the Philippines has never been made
public until now. The report is now made
public in answer to heavy pressure fiom Bos
ton
General Miles report on his Philippine OBJ
servations is dated February 49, 1902, and it is
addressed to the secretary of war. He says
that in going from, Calamba to Batangas last
November, he noticed that the country appear
ed devastated. and that the people were very
much depressed. Stopping at Lpa he says,
party of citizeus headed by the acting presi-
dente met him and stated that they desired to
make complaint of harsh treatment of the peo-
pie of that community, saying they had been
concentrated in towns, and had suffered great
indignities; ''that fifteen of their people had
been tortured by what is known as the water
torture, and that one man, a highly y-respected
citizen, named Vincent Lunu, IS years OF age,
while suffering from the effects of the torture,
ard unconscious, was dragged from his house,
which had been set on fire, and burned to death.
They stated that these atrocities were commit
ted by company of scouts under command of
Lieutenant Hennessey, and that their people
had been crowded INTO towns, 600 being crowd
ed in,o one building" A doctor of the party
said he was ready to testify that some of the
600 died from suffocation. General Miles says
he looked at the building, which was one story
in height, eighteen or twenty feet wide and
possibly sixty or seventy feet long. He says
he has no reason to disbelieve their statements;
in fact, the instances of torture in the case of
the man Luna having been tortured and burned
to death are confirmed by other reports. He
reports numerous other cases. He reports that
at Lagoag, on the island OF Luzon, two natives
were whipped to death. At Tacloban, Leyte,
Major Glenn ordered Lieutenant Caul6eld to
take eight prisoners out into the country, and
If they did not guide him to the camp of the
insurgent Quizen, he was not to bring them
back 1t was stated that the men were taken
out, and that they either could not or did not
do as directed. One of the men, who had
son among the scouts, was spared, but the 9TH
ers were separated into two parties, numbering
three and four respectively, and. while tied TO-
gether, were all murdered by being shot or
bayonetted to death, some being in kneeling
position at the time.
And these are only few of the cases cited
in General Miles report, showing our inhuman
treatment of the Filipnos. But, then, we
mus. Christianize them, even if we have to
kill them to do it.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-05-01

AFTER 1900 years of Christian teaching,
there are still places in this country where hu.
man beings ale taken out and publicly killed
IN the name OF law aud justice. There were
three such cases in Missouri last week. With
these examples before it, is there any wonder
that the mob occasionally takes the matter into
,ls own hands? If it is right to kill human be-
ings, it is not difficult for some people to reach
the conclusion that it doesn't matter who does
the killing. 1t is safe to say that lynchings
will continue as long as the taking of human
life has the sanction of law.-State Journal.

Bible Words Counted.


1t is we'll known that the number of letters,
words, verses, etc., contained in the Bible have
been counted, but by whom, when or where is
not generally known. Treats publication, en-
titled "Curiosties Of the Bible," speaks of the
occurrence as being of Spanish origin, and
that the Prince OF Granada, fearing usurp.
alton, caused the arrest of the supposed
would-be usurper, and, by order of the Spanish
crown, he was thrown into an old prison called
the place of skulls, situated in Madrid, where
he was confined for thirty-three years, with no
other companion than the rats, mice and other
vermin that frequented his dismal cell.
During his confinement, he counted the let.
tiers, etc., contained in the Bible, and scratched
the several numbers on the stone walls with
nail. When his work was discovered, he was
furnished with writing utensils and ordered to
make copy of the results of his long and
tedious task, and, on its being completed, he
finally received his liberty.
The following is correct copy of his great
work:
The Bible contains 1856, ,48o letters, 773,-
746 words, 3I,I73 verses, 1895 chapters and
66 books.
The word and occurs 10, ,684 times; the word
Lord, 1883 times; the word Jehovah, 6,855
times, and the word reverend but once, which
is in the ninth verse of the nth Psalm.
The middle verse is the eighth verse of the
I18th Psalm. The 2Ist verse of the seventh
chapter of Ezra contains all the letters of the
alphabet except the letter j.
The finest chapter to read is the 26th chap.
ter of the Acts Of the Apostles. The most
beautiful chapter is the 23d Psalm. The 10Th
Isaiah are alike.
The tour most inspiring promises are to be
found in the sixth chapter of St. John, 37th
verse, and 18th chapter, second verse; also,
nth chapter of St. Matthew, 2Sth verse, and
the 37th Psalm, fourth verse:
The longest verse is the ninth verse, eighth
chapter Of Esther. The shortest verse is the
35th verse, nth chapter of St. John.
There are ten chapters in the book of Esther
in which the words Lord and God do not occur.
The eighth, 18th, 21st and 31st verses of 1o7th
Psalm are alike. Each verse of the 136th Psalm
ends alike. The 117th Psalm contains but two
verses. The 119th Psalm contains 176 verses.
There are no words or names of more than six
syllables.
1t has also been discovered by some person
unknown that in Joel, third chapter, third
verse, the word girl appears, and in the eighth
chapter of Zachariah, fifth verse, the word
girls is mentioned for the only time in the
whole book.
The eighth chapter of Esther, ninth verse,
contains Sc is. The word snow appears "a
times-2I times in the Old Testament and
three times in the New.

The Producer vs.. Steel Trust.

From the Chicago Socialist.
The Scientific American in its last issue gives
the figures of the last year in the earnings of
the U. S. steel corporation. This great CON-
biuat,on employs 1851 men, and paid them
for services for the year $I2t ,S2S,343 or an
average $1,000 each. The total production
OF each man averaged $3339. as; nearly $500
for every 81 90 paid IN wages. These 1863, ,127
men produce value amounting to $56I 900, 900
and the combination finds $4,000, ,ooc, net
dividends This average $7oI for each en-
ploye--which lie did not get. The net div-
deuds were divided out to sS,62e stockholders,
giving each cne $2,2o2, $500 for every 81 90
paid in wages to the men who produced the
whole amount-5o1 million dollars.
Under Socialism workers owning the
tool Of production and getting their full pro-
duct-each one OF these men could have re-
ceived nearly IS 900 year instead of beg
carly $7I6 20. Or they could have worked
only two hours day and received the $1,000
they donated 10 the capitalists 8 hours pro-
duct day.
When they worked two hours they had pro-
duced their wages.
These same men if asked to join the Social
ist yarty and vote its ticket would fly in a rage.
italists have such an easy time.
1t is because these aid millions of otEer pro-
ducers get only part of their product in
wages that we have panics
The capitalists call il. soyerproduction-
plus. 1t is nothing of the kind. 1t is under
consumption.
A community can buy no more products than
the wages Of its producers make possible.
To-day the American wage Garner. gets II
cents on the dollar of his product. This is all
the community can consume. The other 80
cents, if sold at ALL must be sold in the outside
market.
When our commerce goes across the sea to
find market, the same industrial conditions
largely prevail there that are in existence here.
The result panic. Millions of people are
turned out into the already large army of the
unemployed Their purchasing power is al
most annihilated. Starvation stares them in
the face.
Bankruptcy confronts the former employer
of these same millions. If they could sell the
things to these men the men are starving for
want of, they c'uld unlock the factory door
and proceed to business.
But the producers have no money to buy.
Chaos, ruin, starvation, damnation, hell,
reign supreme. Then this is called Christian
udt,On.
Ii is Insane.
In its insanity it multipies antitrust laws,
but it will not put itself in harmony with the
