ROOT IN DEFENSE OF WOOD
Secretary of War a witness-Rathbone
Makes New Charges.

Washington, Dec. Il. - The witness
before the senate military committee
was Secretary Root. who appeared in
defense of General Wood. In explain
ing the supervision over Cuban courts
charged against Wood. the secretary
said that in Cuba the court of first
instance was in reality an officer di-
rected to prosecute and to obtain evil
dence. He was something like grand
jury in finding evidence. but was fur
Their empowered to go out and obtain
evidence. mingle with the people, pro-
cure affidavits and otherwise to collect
evidence against alleged offenders. The
secretary said that Wood acted in the
prosecution of the postal cases under
orders from the war department.
The secretary also took up the sub
.ject Of the Jai Alai company conces.
sion and said that this was not n
gambling company, nor was the game
pelota a gambling game any more than
was horse race or game of base
ball. Men could bet on the results. as
upon other games of skill. The con-
cession or right of the Jai Alai COM
pany was granted beTore the United
States occupation. and that the con-
ceSSiOn for which General Wood had
been criticised was that of an addi-
ton to the building of the company.
The matter had been carefully decided
at Washington the only question be-
ing whether it would be contrary to
the Foraker amendment, and Wood
had acted under orders from Wash
ington.
The committee has received COM
munication from Major Rathbone, ask
ing that his several requests for the
subpoena of Colonel Lebo, Fourteenth
United States cavalry. be acted upon.
He suggested that Colonel Lebo be
questioned to bring out the fact that
Wood was not with his command on
the first days fight at Santiago on
July /. 1898. Request also was made
that Major General s. S. Sumner be
examined ON the same subject. He
also gave the names Of several other
witnesses on other points. among them
that of CorydOn 4. Rich, of Muncie,
Ind.
But after hearing Secretary Root,
who went over the whole ground and
declared the war department ready to
stand for all that Wood did. the COM
mittee closed the case and will stand
8 to 2 in favor of Woods confirma-
ton. Roots testimony was practically
the whole of the defense.

In a supplementary report the let
ter from Smith to the president
written since the reports noted
and Conrad and Bonaparte say that
the Smith letter contains nothing lead
ing ''us to doubt the correctness of the
conclusions announced in the original
report" The report adds: "Mr. Smiths
letter shows to our minds not only that
there was, as We said, failure on his
part while in Office to appreciate the
gravity Of the situation disclosed by
the warnings he received. but that he
yet fails to appreciate this situation"
The report recommends: That

FORAKER ATTACKS HOAR's SPEECH
Declares 1t an Attack on the Country and
Is Much Shocked.

Declares 1t an Attack on the Country and
Is Much Shocked.
When German had concluded For
aker began an arraignment of Hoar's
position, saying that he had felt no
great surprise when the attack on the
president had been made on the Demo
cratic side of the chamber, but that
he had been shocked when the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts made the char
acter of speech he did. An attack
had been made NOT on the president
alone, but upon the country. and that
when the eyes of the world were on
the United States.
After he had been speaking awhile
Hoar asked permission TO state his
position again. as he said Foraker was
misrerreSenting him. Foraker at first
refused. hut finally consented. and
Hoar said: My point is this: 1 say
that the president has said TO the pub
lie and to the senate that he disclaims
certain conduct as unworthy of him.
and l called attention to the fact that
the documents which he sent in failed
to make that clear by not distinctly
disclaiming that he. or the administra-
ton. had notice of that revolution. or
that our forces had prevented the law
full government from anticipating that
outbreak: that l believed from my
knowledge of the president that his
statement was actually true. and there
fore 1 asked him to supply the lacking
information by stating on what ground
the administration proceeds In taking
the step-that is ALL
Foraker then declared he had not
misrepresented a word Hoar had said:
what 1 said understood to be the
effect Of his speech-that from the
kilograms read he inferred the con
clusion that there was direct contra
diction of the statement OF the presi-
dent of the United States. Now. the
president has stated there was no con-
ference. no intrigue. and yet the SEN
ator from Massachusetts, reading
these kilograms. demands that the
president shall submit proof to him
that he was telling the truth when
ne made the statement that he had not
COnnived"
Foraker then proceeded to review
briefly the history of the uprising on
the isthmus. stating that the condition
there was common knowledge to all
newspaper readers. Panama had a
right if she saw fit. to 60 into re-
bellion Weeks before she declared
her independence 1t became known
that she would take that step = not
officially but to every one who
studied that situation and knew what
human nature would do under the cir
cumstances."
The administration at Washington,
he said. was not unmindful of the sit
uation. land the president took the
steps indicated by the kilograms and
from which the senator from Massa-
chusetts derives such conclusions"
After another colloquy with Hoar the
senator from Ohio concluded by stat
ing that there was no real ground for
criticism of the course of the admin
istration in the Panama matter
