every sense worthy of the trust imposed

We fear, however, that the bill will
meet the fate of the Campbell bill. The
governor appears to have promised the

Washington, April 27.-The war de-
partment today made public that portion
OF the report OF General Miles which
refers to the misconduct of officers and
soldiers in the Philippines. Secretary
Root had received several requests for
this report, some Of these requests being
from persons in Boston, who stated
that they understood it contained much
matter that has never been brought out
in the investigations. The secretary
held that such reports are confidential
In order that the officer making them
might be free to make such comments
rs he desired, but as it is learned that
General Miles has no objection to the
publication OF the report it has been
made public, with the brief comment
by General Davis, judge advocate gem
eral, who has charge of all matters per-
tanning to the subjects referred to in
this portion Of the report. The state
ments made by Geneneral Miles are the
result of his tour of inspection in the
Philippines last autumn and winter.
General Miles report on the Philippine
observation is dated February 10, 1903,
and addressed to the secretary of war.
He said that going from Calamba to
Batangas in November last he noticed
that the country appeared devastated
and the people very much depressed.
Stopping at Lipa, he says. party of
citizens, headed by the acting presi-
dente, met him and stated that they
desired TO make complaint Of the harsh
treatment Of the people Of that commun-
ity, saying they had been concentrated
In towns and had suffered great indig-
mites, that fifteen Of their people had
been tortured by what is known as the
water torture, and one man, a highly
respected citizen, aged IS years, named
Vincente Luna. while suffering from
the effects Of the torture and uncon
scious, was dragged from his house
which had been set on fire, and burned
to death. They stated that these atroc.
tiles were committed by a company OF
scouts under command OF Lieutenant
Hennessy and their people had been
crowded into towns, 900 being confined
/
In one building, A doctor Of the party
said he was ready to testify that some
800 had died from suffocation. Gener-
al Miles says he looked at the building
which was one story In hight, eighteen
or twenty feet wide and possibly sixty
or seventy feet long, He asked for a
written statement TO be forwarded him
AT Manila, but says he never received
1t, and adds;
II have no reason not to believe the
statements, In fact, the instances Of
torture, and the case Of the man Luna
having been tortured and burned to
death, are confirmed by other reports -
Concerning the failure to receive the
statement, General Miles says;

to bear to prevent their statement

The Chattanooga News of April Gath
says editorislly;
The retirement of Col. T. A. Bald
win from the command Of the Seventh
cavalry with the rank of brigadier gen.
eral is a pleasure not unmixed with re-
gret. Col. Baldwin S friends, in other
words, regret TO lose him from Chicka-
manga Park, but they are pleased with
the fact that he is promoted and is at
liberty TO take rest.
1t is no secret that Col. Baldwin has
rendered his country long and conspic'
uous services. He retires from the
command of the best regiment in the
army-a regiment which has a history
as splendid as any that ever fought IN
der the stars and stripes. In his fare
we'll remarks to his men yesterday he
said in effect: Il am as dead hence
forth to you as Custer. - Technically
that is correct, but the fact remains
that neither Custer nor Baldwin is dead
to the Seventh cavalry boys. Their
examples will live with the members OF
that regiment as long as such an organ
ization exists.
Chattanooga regrets to lose Col, Bald
win. He has made friends here during
his brief stay who will always welcome
him and his wife to the city. Our
people trust that the remainder of their
lives may be cast In pleasant places
and that they may find 1t convenient to
visit US often and psrtake of our hospi-
tality.

for his wit as for his corpulency was
much disturbed in mind by his tendency
TO ever-increasing stoutness. He tried
many remedies. but without success. At
length a friend suggested that he should
take a course of treatment at certain hot
springs. He Immediately set out for the
place sojourned for few weeks at it,
managed to get rid of a good deal of his
superfiuous flesh, and returned home in
a most happy and jocular frame of mind.
On the morning after his return when
he was vending his way TO the court
house, he came to the butchers shop
where his family was supplied with meat.
Marching inside. he said:
''Cut me off twenty pounds of pork
The butcher sharpened his knife and at
once complied The judge looked at the
meat for a minute or two and then walked
off.
Shall I send the pork to your house.
