The cordial and spontano ous exertions in all parts of my dominions have done much to bring about this happy result. You give fit ting expression to the universal admiration for the valor and endurance of the officers and men.

These difficulties they have cheerfully overcome by steady, persistent effort, and those who wero otir opponents will now, I rejoice to think, bccome our friends." Washington, June 13.—Mark H. Evans of LDes Molues, la., formerly a sergeant of Company K, Thirty-second volunteer Infantry, yesterday testified before the senate committee on the Philippines concerning the administration of the water eyre to Filipinos on four different occasions during his service In the islands. He also related the particulars of the burning of several native villages. He was questioned by Senators Patterson, McComas and Beverldge. All these events occurred, the witness said, during the year 1900 in the province of Batan, island of Luzon, and In or near the town of Orano, where his headquarters were. Three of the cases of water cure occurred outside of-the town. In one case the cure was administered by native scouts and In the others by an American soldier. The first case occurred at a little town where there were supposed to be some insurgents. The scouts picked out the suspected people and, taking one of them to a nearby creek, poured a quantity of water into his mouth from a canteen. The purpose in this, as in other cases, was to secure a confession. Ladies' Navy Blue, Polka Dot, Duck Skirts, niooly trimmed with braid Washington, June 13.—"Fight harder than ever!"

The position of the administration is that the expenditures by General Wood were made by him with full authority, not as the representative of the United States or as trustee of Cnba, but as the actual governor of Cuba. General Wood had full authority to collect funds with which to run the government of Cuba, but he had authority to spend It for any purjiose he deemed proper. He had a perfect right to send out documents Informing the American public of the economic needs of the Island. It was an expenditure as proper as the printing and distributing of documents by congress. General Woad'a fount Upheld.

Mr. Evans said he had been present at the btiming of four or live native villages and that the destruction of those places had been due to the presence of insurgents. The orders were to destroy all the native huts along the coast near the mountains for thirty miles in Batan province, so as to force the natives to come in, and this, he said, was done.

In the view of the administration furnishing aid to this cause was the very best use to which the money of the Cuban government -rrmkl haw been put. Mr. Thurber was employed because he had a large number of names of persons whom It was desirable to acquaint witli the needs of the island.

Replying to questions by Senator Beveridge, the witness said the orders to the troops were to treat the natives humanely and that with the exceptions noted their treatment had been In accord with these instructions. The natives had not, on the other band, shown any appreciation of this consideration. They refused to divulge Information in their possession, and in many eases they subjected the Ainert; can troops to Indignities. In one case, he said, where two soldiers were killed their ears were cut off. 60 North Main Straat, Wttiton. Reading. Pa..

It Is the Impression of the administration that the $2,500 paid to Mr. Thurber by the sugar trust was not for anything he wus doing In behalf of reciprocity, but for something he did to further the cause of free sugnr. The administration found it necessary on more than one occasion to disavow the acts and expressions of persons who were urging free sugar and were asserting that they acted with the war department. It thus disavowed the sugar trust, a committee of Cuban planters and even Mr. Thurber. Edward J. Norton of Los Angeles, Cal., late private In Company L, Eighteenth United States infantry, was the witness at the afternoon session. He served two years in the island of Panay. Answering questions by Senator CullDerBon, Mr. Norton stated that except In isolated cases the treatment accorded the natives by United States, soldiers "was humane and all that could be expected or desired."
