Thus far there seems to have been
no good reason advanced why New

Investigations of the lights furnished

do so, the commissioners would have
been justified in refusing to make
payments. Instead, however, the in

MILES CONDEMNS
! NATIVE TORTURE
Commander of Army's Report. Based
on His Inspection Of Philippines.
is Made Public.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Part OF
General Miles special report, based
on his recent inspection of the Phil
ippines, was made public today. It
hints that army officers who resorted
to cruel and inhuman torture of the
natives in the concentration camps
should be condemned.
Attention is called to the sale of
food to the natives confined there at
a good profit. Some portions of the
islands traversed appeared to be de-
vastated and the natives depressed.
He heard complaints of prominent
citizens as to harsh treatment. They
told General Miles they had been
concentrated in towns and suffered
great indignities.
had been tortured with the water cure
and that one man was burned to
death. These atrocities, General
Miles was told, were committed by
a company of scouts under Lieuten-
ant Hennessey.
The citizens claimed that in one
concentration instance 500 persons
physician said he was ready to testify
that many died of sut,oca,;on. Gen
eral Miles inspected the building,

and asked that a written statement
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-04-27

of the case be forwarded to him at
Manila. He never received 1t.
He says whether any influence was
brought to bear to prevent their for
NAL statement either by persuasion
or coercion. he is not prepared at the
present time to state. He says he
found certain officers who regarded
such acts justifiable.
- In order to correct such erroneous
and dangerous impressions and to
prevent such acts in the future, he
addressed the division commander,
giving virtually an order dated Feb
ruary %, calling attention to the re-
ports of atrocities, and directing that
any orders or circulars Of personal
instruction, which would transpire or
encourage any such cruelty, be i'm
mediately annulled.
Judge Advocate General Davis in
a letter to the secretary of war re-
piled to the acts complained of in
Miles report and says they have been
made the subject of special investi-
cations in several instances by court
martial, whose orders have already
been made public.
Davis refers to Miles charge that
rice was sold in the concentration
camps at profit ano says it was
purchased by the subsistence depart
ment. The profits of the transactions
were very moderate and all We're
turned into the insular treasury and
are fully accounted for.

No STRIKES
IN pQO]p[(T.
Three Unions Have Merely
Presented Their An.
nudI Scales.
AGENT QUINN'S OPINION
Says Rejection Of Scales Would
Place Matters in His Hands
for Arbitration.

A great amount of gossip is going
the rounds with regard to strikes in
various lines of work in which the
men are unionized. According to well
informed labor leaders there is little
or no excuse for any of the rumors,
that they are being circulated to in
tluence public sentiment in view of
the coming election.
The brewery workers are quoted as
about to strike. The fact is that
the brewery workers have presented
their annual scale, the acceptance or
rejection of which is in the hands of
the brewers. The rejection of the
scale, If it is rejected. would be the
occasion for negotiations, which, in
all probability, would result in an
amicable settlement.
No matter what happens a strike
is still far off, inasmuch as the ques-
ton would so to the business agent
of the trades council. He would then
renew negotiations. When he had eX-
hausted all means in his power to
reach settlement, a strike might or
might not ensue according to circum-
stances.
The same state of affairs exists as
to the stable workers, who are also
quoted as about to strike. Their
schedule has been presented. calling
for a 5O-cent a day raise. The re-
lection of the scale here will also
start negotiations with a strike as a
distant possibility
The iron molders are likewise quot
ed as being on the verge of strike
if their annual scale, calling for a
50-cent advance. beginning May /. is
not granted. A prominent foundry
man stated today that no decision
the scale asked. Negotiations, he
stated, were on foot with the ma
tional body of the foundrymen's
union that might settle the difficulty.
While the raise is not considered just,
he claims strike is a future posi-
bility only.
Business Agent Il. F. Quinn of the
trades council said that none of the
so-callcd labor troubles had been call

said the mayor today. People and

Since yesterday the chief elements
entering into a consideration of the
mayoralty conditions have been the
candidacy of Byrne, Acuff and Boyd.
Conservative business men and poll
ticians say there is no doubt that Mr.
Acuff will carry large part of the
vote of those who believe he will

cleanse the city. On the other hand,
1t is realized that the big dough
bag" that is being collected by the
republican finance committee will
have much weight in certain quarters.
AS for Mayor Byrne, his supporters
are confident Of his receiving practi-
cally all of the labor vote of the
city: that he will receive large part
of the liberal church vote, and that
he will draw heavily from business
and financial men.
The support of the Commercial
club is at present about evenly di-
vided between Acuff, Rasher and
Boyd, but will doubtless be concen-
trated upon the strongest candidate
just previous to election.
So far, betting on the result has
been unusually quiet. A prominent
sporting man said today that he
would bet at the ratio of IS to $3.50
that his opponent could not pick the
winner in the Byrne-Acuff-Boyd con-
, test.
