CHARGES DISMISSED.
Major Howe Not Guilty of Practicing
Cruelty in Philippines.

Washington. May 2S.-Secretary Root,
today, made public all the papers in
connection with the charges made
against Major Robert l.. Howe, of
having authorized the brutal and fatal
whipping of hostile natives held as
prisoners at LaoaG, Luzon, in the spring
of 1900. Secretary Root says in part:
IIoWzc'S character and conduct af
ford Il very strong presumption against
the probability of his having done the
things charged.
THE charges are sustained solely by
cX-partc aliidaVitS of large number of
native IilipinCs who were hostile to the
American troops and who united in tell
ing which, if it is to be believed. eX-
hibits the most revolving cruelty.
Major Hunter, who collected these
aliidaNitS nearly three years after the
indictments to which they relate, APP
pears by his own letters and the tcsti-
mony of his brother officers to have
entertained a bitter personal animosity
toward Major Howe. 1t IS clear that
with the feelings which he entertained
Major Hunter was not likely t1 he
capable of making really impartial
investigation and that for this reason
he was IN unfit person to be assigned
to that duty
The statements of these native alifda-
Wits arc directly contradictcd by the pos
tive oaths of Major Howe himself and
~ American officers who were stationed
at Taoag at the time ana so situated that
it was impossible for them not to know
whether the facts described in the incui-
patorY aflidaVitS really occurred. Either
the oaths and statements of these Amcrl-
can officers are false or the native atfida-
Wits produced by MAYOR Hunter ars
false
The secretary quoted from a. report OF
! the Philippine commission into the
charges. Its findings were to the effect
that the crueties charged never existed
Secretary Root continues as follows:
Upon all the papers now produced il
appears that the charges against Major
Howe are false that there were no sucf
beatings as tire described in the afiidavits
procured by Major Hunter; that Majo,
HoWzc's report upon his investigation ol

fairs ut La0ag at the time in question is
