mall privileges under new rulings designed
to correct alleged abuses, was ths eauae
of seven Injunction suits being filed today

store the second-class rate to the publics
ttons of the petitioners. The suits were
tiled separately In the district supreme
court and the court Issued a restraining
order en the postmaster general returnable
April 26.
The complaints allege that the depart
ment makes no charge that the publica
tions do not comply with the requirements
ef ths federal laws defining second-class
nail matter, but threatens to sxcluds on
the alleged ground that the literary merit
f ths publications Is beneath an arbitrarily
fixed etandard by which "the defendant
seeks to Impose a literary censorship over
the prose and on the alleged fact that
the lists or subscribers are not legitimate
because they have been to some extent
received by means or so-tailed premiums
and other Inducements, consideration of all
of which Is. manifestly, beyond ths power
and scope of the authority vented tn ths
defendant.

that under orders from Captain Olenn, he,
with a aquad, had taken tho presidents into
custody on November 27 and bad escorted
him to the convent where the "cure" was
administered.
Reports Story of Tortare.
He repested the story of the torture of
the presldente, adding aoms details. The
man was, he said, about 40 year or age.
When be was taken Into the convent he
was asked to give information as to whether
runners had been sent out to notify the in
surgents of the arrival of the scouts In the
town. Refusing to do this, the water de
tail, consisting of two privates of the
Elgtheenth Infantry, was ordered by Cap
tain Glenn to strip him. The man's cloth
ing was removed above the waist aid his
hands tied behind him, when the cure was
sdmlnlstered by this detail. "He was
then," the witness aald, "taken to the water
ank and thrown upon his back, and while
an interpreter stood over him a stream of
water was directed Into hie mouth, which
was held open."
Who gave the command for this treat
ment?"
Captain Glenn."
How was the man's mouth kept open?"
By means or a stick, but I could not see
Just how It was done."
Continuing, the witness said that when
the victim or the cure waa filled with water
the members' of the detail would force It
out of him by rolling their fists ver his
tomach. and that the process was kept up
for about ten minutes.
He described the second application of ths
cure, as previously testified to and corrobo
rated 8ergeant Riley In tha statement that
the details of this performance were under
the charge of Contract Surgeon Lyons and
that Captain Olenn and Lieutenant Conger
were both present when It occurred.
Effect of the Treatment.
Mr. Davis said In reply to questions aa to
the physical effect of the process that the
man "squealed" terribly and that his eyes
ere bloodshot, but that the next day be
was able to mount his horse and lesd the
scouts to the mountain. . .,' Afterward he was.
the witness said, taken tp Hollo and placed
fn prison. , "
The witness also repeated the statement
that two police officers of the town of
(gbaras bad been subjected to the water
sure. "There waa," he added, "also a na
tive school teacher there who was mal
treated at the aame time, but tho water
cure waa not administered to hlm- Hp
was' taken Into one of the back' rooms of
ths convent by Dr. Lyons, who secured the
information he wanted tfom'blm by. placing
two Colt's revolvers to his head, thus ren
dering "It unnecessary to administer the
cure."
"Did you see this?"
"I did."
Mr. Davis alto gavs the detail of tho
burning of the town of Igbaras, which, he
said, contatnsd about 10,000 people, but no
business place. AH exceft about 15,000
bouses were destroyed and men, women
and children were forced out Indiscrimi
nately.
Senator Burrows Who gave the order to
burn the town?"
Witness Captain Glenn.
"To whom did he give It?"
"To Lieutenant Conger. He told the
lieutenant to burn the town."
"Did you hear him 7"
"I did." -
"Did he say why It should be burned 7'
"He did not."
The witness also said that a neighboring
town containing about 12,000 people bad
been burned, but that be did net know
who had given the order for Its deatruc
tlon.
Coadnetea by Re.al.r..
He statsd in reply to questions that the
torture In all the Instances nr.entloned had
been conducted by the regular soldiers, and
that they had not been participated in by
the members of his regiment, fhe Twenty-
Ixth volunteers. "My orders were," he
said, "to treat ths natives kindly, and so
far as I observed the soldiers generally ao
treated them, with the exceptions I have
mentioned."
He added that the presldente bad been a
traitor to the American cause and that the
other natives did . not generally seem to
have any sympathy for htm. Mr. Davis
aald he had been In charge of a detachment
of fifteen men in the. town of Igbaraa for
several months before, the arrival of the
regulars and also for some time afterward,
and that be had never had any trouble
whatever with the natives. Hs bad talked
with the regular soldiers about ths water
cure and had bees given to understand that
Its administration waa not ef rare occur
rence, but said they had not given names
of nersons or places. He replied to Senator
Lodge that Be Knew oi ins muraer oi sev
oral of the members of Company F of his
regiment by natives at another point, but It
had been but understanding tbat they were
killed by ladrones rather than by the town
authorities, as Colonel Dlckman had re
ported. 1
ACCEPT- SENATE SUBSTITUTE
Heose Members Agree to Chinese Ei

sessions. . V. '
Representative Kabn of' California, who
Introduced the drastic exclusion bill In ths
house and Representative Combs of Call
fornla who'ajded la perfecting It, both ex
preeeed the view thai the senate measure
should be accepted aa the beat -measure ob
tainable with the tsw days remaining before
the Geary law expires by limitation. This
view was saa.de known to Senator Perkins
Of California,, who reported the house ex
clusion bill from the foreign- affaire com
eaUtes.and a informal understanding was
reached thai - if the California members
wars willing to accept lha senate substitute
thla course undoubted would be taken by
the coinmittse and lbs house.
"The senate substitute aa finally amended
really gives us all wf want sxcept in emit
ting the sailors clVss." said Mr, Kaha
i "and It la much snofe drastic than is gn
erally understood. It goes much rurtber
than the original Piatt substitute and by
re-enacting the present law and the law of
188S, extending them lo our .Island pnssee
slone and continuing these laws Indefinitely,
we get almost. If not quite, as much as we
would by the original bill. But In any
event, as the present exclusion law runs
out on Msy 6 it will be deelrsble to accept
the senate substitute, for If we were a sin
gle day without an exclusion law thousands
of Chinamen would cross the border from
Canada."

Wednesday's little breathless experience
with the collegians from the University of
Nebraska had put "Pa's Pets" on their
guard and they were careful to win the
game without any eleven-Inning complica
tions, so Irksome to -men not yet In the
best of condition. A soors of 6 to 2, how
ever, which waa practically a duplicate of
Ita 2 to 1 predecessor. Is good evidence that
the business at Vinton street park yester
day waa a matter of base ball from the
start. Though the 'varsity men did not
make quite the showing of Wednesday aft
ernoon, their work remained eminently Sat
isfactory, and ths game was one of Intense
Interest all the way.
Fast. snaDDv ball was ths order of the
day. It was marred only by the fatal wlld-
ness of some of the students, too eager in
he earlier Innings to repeat the perform
ances of the previous day. Reckless throw
ing, however, constituted the major portion
of the collegiate mistakes and later Is ths
game the amateurs steadied down in great
style.
Hlttlns waa even more closely restricted
then the first day. The leaguers mads
eight off Bobby Oalnea, just the number
they poled off Leatherby Thursday. The
students meanwhile were put up against
a double battery proposition and failed to
find the combination of Rlsley and Graham
so easy aa Owen alone had been. Six hits
was their quota, to which fact may be at
tributed their failure to score more.
Rlsley In Fine Form.
Rlsley threw a handsome game while he
remained In the box. He was as steady as
a clock, never giving a base on any ac
count. Graham was not, quite up to his
to.t Sumiuv's trim and passed out nee
firsts with some liberality. Thla habit of
his gave the "varsity boys their only two
runs In the last Inning, ana it tooaea ior
minute that they would make It 3 to 4.
Thirdbaseman Hlckey donned his Datung
iAth. for the first time this season and
he looked good to the crowd with a pair of
hits, one a two-bagger. It was almost the
first time, too, that the fane have had a
chance to see him run a base, but hs says
hm intends to circle them constantly nere-
after. Burg was also hitting, but that's
nothing so new. Omaha pyea a very
clean game all the time, Hlckey's one error
being due to haste rather than incapacity.
