SMITH BREAKS LONG SILENCE.
General Charged With crueIties In
Philippines Defends Actions.

Portsmouth, Ohio.-General Jacob
H. Smith of Samar Island fame, broke
his years of silence Friday night and
defended the course of action which
preceded his retirement from the
army following his memorable cam
paign of 1902.
General Smith denied vigorously
that he had ordered or countenanced
the killing of women and children by
the soldiers. He said he had been
severe with the savage tribes of the
philippines, because they had mutt
ated wounded soldiers and set fire to
their bodies
He bitterly assailed Theodore
Roosevelt, who, he said, praised Gen
9ral Wood for conducting a campaign
along the same lines as the speaker
had followed, although the then presi
dent had arrayed himself against
Smith
