Smith Was necessary.
Manila, Jan. 16.--Six officers who
served in the Island OF Samar testi-
fed before the court martial which is
trying Major Edwin F. Glenn. on the

nesses mostly detailed the enemy's
acts of barbarity such as burying per-
sons alive. mutilating live and dead
persons and torturing and numbering
prisoners and natives in sympathy
with the Americans. The defense
produced an order OF Gen. Lucban di-
recting the use OF poison against
Americans. The court admitted as
evidence the captured report revealing
ADDITIONAL facts Of the plot that led to
the Baigina massacre.
Witnesses agreed that the policy OF
Brfsadier General Jacob H. Smith
was necessary and it ended the insur-
recsion In Samar.

friendly natives who were refugees in
the mountains In his district petition

tion IL left in the mountains and he

About 10000 people are affected by

mixed with stewed Iceland moss and
made into kind of famine bread.
Coincident with the failure of crops
is the extreme scarcity of fish.

cattle which alone can live through
