MORE OE THE TORTURE.

"At Calbaog, Samar, it was re-
ported that several men in that dis
trict had been subjected to this
treatment One was the president
of the town, Mr.. Roseales, who
showed me long deep scars on his
arm which he said were caused by
the cords with which he was bound
cutting into his flesh. The second
man was named Jose Borja, and the
third was Padre Jose Diaznes, who
stated he was one of three priests
who had been subjected to torture
by troops under command of Lieu
tenant Gaujot, Tenth cavalry; that
his front teeth had been knocked
out, which was apparent; that he
was otherwise maltreated and rob-
bed of $500. Tt was stated these
pries's were taken out to be killed
and we're only saved by the prompt
action Of Major Darlington, First
infantry, who sent out for them.
Lieutenant Gaujot was tried, plead
ed guilty and was given the trivial
sentence Of three months suspen-
sion from command, forfeiting $50
per month for tie same period. His
pleading guilty prevented all the
facts and circumstances being de
veloped.
1T appears that Major Glenn,
Lieutenant Conger and a party o.
assistants and native scouts were
moved from place to place for the
purpose of extorting information b.
means of torture, and it became Sc
notorious that these parties were
called 'Glenn's brigade; whether il
was possible for officers to becom,
engaged in such acts without th'
personal knowledge of the genera

had been crowded into towns, 600

doctor of the party SAID he was
ready to testify that some of the
600 died from suffering.
General Miles then refers to other
cases saying that on the island of
Ceba it was reported and published
in Novem Der, 1902, "that two Off
GERS, Captain Samuels, Forty-fourth
infantry United States volunteers,
and Lieutenant Feeter, Nineteenth
infantry, had committed similar at
rocities against the people of that
island. It is also reported that at
Laoag on the island of Luzon two
natives were whipped to death. At
Tacloban, Leyte, it was reported
thai Major Glenn ordered Lieuten-
ant Cauifeld, Philippine scouts, to
take eight prisoners out into the
country and that if did not guide
him to the camp of the insurgent
Quizon he was not to bring them
back. It was stated that the men
were taken out and that they either
did not or could not do as directed.

the others were separated into two

the Cruelties.

Washington, D, c., April 27.-
The war department today made
public that portion of the report OF
General Miles which refers to mis-
conduct of officers and soldiers in
the Philippines.
General Miles says that at Lipa a
party of citizens headed by the act
ing president met him and stated
that they desired to make complaint
of harsh trea tment Of the people Of
that community, saying they had
been concentrated in town and had
suffered great indignities, .that ff.
teen OF their people had been tortur-
ed by what is known as the water
torture, and that one man, highly
respected citizen, aged 65 years,
named Vincente Luna, while suffer
ing from the effects Of the torture
and unconscious, was dragged from
his house, which had been set on
fire, and was burned todeath

at the time, manly, Brigadier Gen
eral Hughes, l leave for others to
conjecture.
"These facts came to my notice
in a casual way, and many others OF
similar character have been report
ed in different parts of the archi-
pclago. In fact, I was informed
that it was common talk az the
places where officers congregated
that such transactions had been
carried on, either with connivance
or approval Of certain command
ing officers. 1t is, however, most
gratifying to state that such atroci-
ties have been condemned by such
commanders as Generals Lawton,
Wade, Summer, Lee, Baldwin and
others.
ISSUES A WARNING.
II found that with certain officers
the impression prevailed that such
acts were justifiable, and I felt it
my duty, in order to correct such
erront GUS and dangerous impression
and to prevent the possibility of
such acts being committed in the
future, which must i'm pair the good
name Of American arms and bring
discredit to our service for all time,
to address to the division command
er the following letter of instruc-
tions."
Then follows an order addressed
to the commanding general of the
Philippines, under date Of February
26, 1903, in which General Miles
calls attention to the reports OF at
rocities, and directs that any orders
or circulars Of personal instru tion
which would inspire or encourage
any act Of cruelty be annulled. The
order says that "the excuse tha,
