LONDON, Jan. 15.-All England i.
shuddering with horror over the facts
brought out by the special committee
of the house of commons, appointed tt
investigate the stories of atrocities il
the Putumayo rubber district of Peru
the British Congo"
Not only has ample evidence beer
produced corroboating the charges
Originally made by the American en-
gineer, w. E. Hardenburg, but testi-
mony from various sources shows that
the Peruvian governments alleged eff
forts, following the Hardenburg ex-
pose, to correct the evils, were a mere
sham. In addition to making a thor
ough inquiry into actual conditions,
the committee was instructed to report
to what extent the British directorate
of the Peruvian Amazon company, OPP
Grating the concession, is responsible.
The records of the committee consti-
tute one of the most terrible indi Il
ments in the history of modern civil
cation, overshadowing, as they do, the
Iheinous offenses charged against the
Belgian exploitation of the Congo. 1t
has been proven that:
Indians of the district have been
forced to work day and night at the
extraction of rubber without the
slightest remuneration except suffi-
cient food to keep them alive. They
have been begged until their homes
were laid bare. They have been mu-
tilated, ears, fingers, arms and even
legs cut off. They have been tortured
by means or fire and water, and, in
some instances crucified head down.
wards. They have been sold into slav-
cry at prices ranging from 500 to 5000 |
each. They have been robbed of their
wives and daughters by employees of |
the company. Their older folk have
been ruthlessly murdered when no
longer able to work, and children have
been swung by the feet and their
brains dashed out against trees.
Considered to Have No Rights.
Many of the instances of inhumanity l.
detailed by Hardenburg were attested
~ Sir Roger Easement, who was sent
~ the foreign office to make personal {
when he told his story :
IN the stand. The Indians, he said,
we're generally considered not to have {
luman rights, much less civil rights {
t was a maxim that to kill an Indian
vas not murder at all. Describing the t
uniting down and enslaving of the In e
ians, the witness related how one ex- t

lildren would follow them But the W
embers of the expedition rushed in, W
rabbed the children by the heels and Ell

ees. This was told me by an old q

Referring merely to working condi- al
,ns, Sir Roger said they were far til

port heavier cargoes and for longer
distances. On the Congo carriers were
paid fair remuneration and given
food for the journey But the Putu-
mayos were often forced to travel so
miles without any compensation or
any food Exhibiting a flask of pow
der, some ishhooks and a few strings
of beads, Sir Roger declared that these
represented the earnings OF one Indian
| for three years, who had to find food
for himself, his wife, and his chill
dren.
Investigation Only Mockery.
One of the most serious developments
in connection with the committees in
quiry is the assertion made by Jose
Torralbo, Colombian consul at Manaos,
that the investigation by the special
commission, headed by the Americans
and British consuls at Iquitos, was lit
tie better than a mockery. The com
mittee has on file several long reports
from Torralbo, wherein he describes
the manner in which the investigation
was conducted, and throws additional
light on the present situation, showing
that the atrocities still continue.
Torralbo charges that the commits
sion did it's work surrounded by Pc
ruvians, and that it was accompanied |
into the rubber region by Julio G. |
Arana, original holder of the conces-
sion, organizer and chief stakeholder of |
the Peruvian Amazon company, and |
the very man most interested in COW
ering up the scandal. The woman in
terpreter for the commission, through !
whom the natives were supposed to tell
heir stories, and who, he declares, was
supplied by Arana, was the favorite
of the agent, O'Donnell, now
in prison at barbados, charged with
lideous cruelties toward the Indians
The actual victims, he states, were !,
