INVESTIGATIONS OF
CRUELTIES IN PHILIPPINES
Charges of Cruelty Filed Against Lieut..
Col. -Howze

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30
The war department is investigating
charges that have been filed against
Lieut.. Col. Robert Howe, who was in
command of post in Northern Luzon
in 1899. The charges relate to cruel
ties to Filipinos, allegations being
made that Lieut.. Col. Howe was
cognizant of the fact that two natives
were whipped to death and that no
punishment of the offenders was order
ed. 1t is stated at the war depart
ment that, SO far as investigated, 1t
appears that the alleged outrage was
perpetrated by native officers while
Col. Howe was absent after hostile
Filipinos. The matter has been brought
to the attention of Col Howe, and
partial reply made that an investiga-
ton at the time showed that only one
native had died, and that his death
was not due to i'll treatment, but to
diabetes. Reports of alleged outrages
in the Philippines, for which Col.
Howe and some other officers are said
to be responsible, are part of Gen.
Miles report of his recent investigation
in the Philippines.
