AGAINST SHIP SUBSIDY. ttanntor Vent huyn 7H Per Cent, of 1'rlzo Money Would tin to tho International Navigation Company. Washington, March 11. In the senate Monday the ship subsidy bill was taken up and Mr. Vest (Mq.) made a speeeh against the measure. He said that 73 per cent, of the sub sidy on the Atlantic side would o-o to the International Navigation com- pany. The bill would take money out tif the treasury without giing any value in return. Mr. Vest said there was no subsidy paid by Great llritain to her ships that dominate the carrying trade of the world. He could make the state ment and ehnllonge successful con tradiction that 03 per cent, of the carrying trade in the hnnds of En gland is done by her iron tramp steamers who never receive a cent from the country. The increased mail pay given by Englnnd he denied was a subsidy for tho purpose of ex tending her commerce but was given for political and military reasons from which she cannot escape. It was an abuse of the word "subsidy" to call it such. CLASS LEGISLATION. Illlnoli Antl-Tnut I.uw Knocked Out lie cause It Kxenintctl Agricultural im plements itnit Live Stock, Washington, March 11.

FUNST0N TALKS OUT. Says Filipino Sympathizers Hen Are Responsible for War. Ho 'Would leather S'ee n I'eiv Atncrlcai Traitors nt Home Hanged Than One. or Our Soldier lis Killed on the Pleld of Itattle. New York, March 10. Prig. Gen Eunston was the guest of honor at t dinner given Saturday night at Hit Lotus club. More than 300 member! of the club were present. Prank It Lawrence, the president of the club was toastinaster. Mr. Laurence, in troducing (Sen. Punston, said: "There are some things which dc not enter into the realm of contro versy and among them are the brav ery and Intrepidity of the armies wt have seat to the Philippines. I have the pleasure of introducing to yot one whose single act almost brought an end to the war in the Philippine islands. We greet him very heart ily." Gen. Punston said that, judging from the remarks of the president he was expected to talk about the war in the Philippines. "To talk about war over there is not an agree able subject," said he. "but what 1 may say may aid some of you in forming opinions as to the condition of a trairs in the islands. The army has been doing ns well as it could under the circumstances. "When Manila was surrendered to Dewey and Merritt, some thousands of Spaniards were in the city. Jn the eyes of the world these people looked to us for protection, and to have turned them over to the uncon trollable mob known as Aguinaldo'a army would have been the blackest page of American history, one that a thousand years of repentance and restitution would not have satisfied." Gen. Punston then told in ininute detail of the instances which led tc the warfare between the American army and the insurgents, and in the narrative told of the shooting of several sentries by Filipino scouts who had passed the lines. He said that, on the opening of tho battle be tween the army and the insurgents, Maj. Metcalf, of the Twentieth Kan sas regiment, had come to his quar ters and said, "The dance has be gun." '"What dance'." r asked, and Mnj Metcalf replied, 'Go out and hear It.' I went out and heard the pattering of ritle balls, and that was the begin ning of the war over there." Gen. Punston then said: "All sorts of men got into the army. There are good, bad and indifferent, but 1 believe that 05 per cent, of the Amer ican soldiers are a brave and humane lot of men. The other Jive per cent, who have been writing letters to newspapers have ornamented the in- sides of a grog house for a longci time tlinn they June distinguished themselves in the fields. "All of those men who have fallen since December, 1000, have been vic tims of a lot of misinformed and mis guided people here in the United States," said the general. "It is per fectly proper for us to have all sorts of opinions as to what we should do with the Philippine islands, but, for heaven's sake, let us keep them to ourselves until every square inch of that territory recognizes the sover eignty of the United Stntos." The general said there was not one of the so-called Filipino patriots who could not be convicted of mur der if he was tried by a jury. He declared that there had never boon a war in the world's history where the soldiers hnd shown such humanity as had the American troops in the Philippine islands. He then told of 21 American soldiers who had joined the Filipinos and who were after ward captured and executed as trait ors, and then said: "There are many men in the United States who did more with their mouths and minds to aid the insur gents than did these poor men with the Krag-Jorgonson rifles. I would rather see those men hanged for trea son than to see one of our soldiers dead on the field of battle." The general then declared the Filipinos could not be classed with the Cubans and he snid that If the United States troops should now leave the Philippine islnnds there could bo half a do.en different kinds of civil war there and the world would hold the United States responsible for them. This concluded Gen. Fuuston's ad dross nnd he was loudly cheered. Then President Lawrence got up and snid that all those present would like to hattj Gen. Punston tell the story of the capture of Agtiinnldo. Gen. Punston responded nnd told of this in detail. Moody Will Succeed Long. Washington, March 0.
