"WASHINGTON. April 29. The aenate
C-ommlttee on the Philippines today re-
umed the examination of witnesses In con
nection with the Investigation of affairs In
the Philippine Inlands.
General MacArthur continued hie exam
ination. He explained the statement In his
annual report of June 30, 1900, that "the
United States had acquired sovereignty by
treaty and In a way owned the Philippine
Islands, but did not own the Philippine peo
ple," by saying that these conclusions were
reached after conversation with an Infinite
number of people and observation and that
they represented the bulk of the views of
he nationalist party.
He then. In response to questions by Sen
ator Patterson, described the different
towns embraced within the American lines
en the night of February 6, 1890, when the
Outbreak occurred, and Identified what pur
ported to be a copy of the order of Oeneral
Luna for the massacre of the foreign resi
dents of Manila.
Senator Patterson sought to show that
It was not difficult to deceive Aguinaldo by
forgery ana reforred to bis capture by Oen
eral Funston, through a forged letter
pigned "Lacuna." General MacArthur with
considerable emphasis declared that Gen
eral Funaton waa not responsible In any
vay for any methods which obtained In the
rapture of Agulnaldo.
Aeeamea All Responsibility.
"I am responsible In that matter In every
way," aald General MacArthur. "It la
one of the deceptions frequently practiced
tn war and whatever deception attaches
thereto I take."
With regard to the order for the Manila
massacre, General MacArthur. answering
further questions by Senator ' Patterson,
aid the order ha aaw waa signed by
JSandlco and not by Luna. General Mac
Arthur detailed the efforts made by blm
to ferret out Luna's connection with it.
flThe witness could not recall a letter of
jGeaeral Reeves, who waa the chief of po
lio lo 'Manila, In which he stated be did
pot belleva a massacre waa Intended, be
cause it was entirely contrary to the man
ner In which the Filipinos have waged war
In the past; ..'.: -;rs.
Reverting to the Sandlco order. Senator
Tatterson quoted from a report of Dr. F. C.
Itouras, a surgeon in the United States
'army, aa to bow he came in possession of
jit through a Filipino, who made a copy of
the original. Tha aenator referred to a
War statement by Dr. Bourns to tha effect
'that tha Filipino might have "stretched
things a little. " Oeneral MacArthur aald
jlhere might have been two orders.
Depends on Kind ot Dos;.
"Would you hang a yellow dog on the
testimony that is paraded her as to the
.genuineness of those orders?" aaked Sena
.tor Patterson.
The witness said it depended on what
tilnd of a yellow dog it waa. Oeneral Mac
''Arthur disclaimed any responsibility for
.the orders of General Jacob H. Smith to
tasks Samar a howling wilderness.
Replying to a question by Senator Bever
Idge, General MacArthur said that absolute
chaos would result should the Filipinos be
given complete independence and the
United States entirely withdraw from the
Islands, but he said ha would like to ex
plain thla statement at another session ot
the committee.
Ha waa thereupon excused until tomor
row, the committee going into executive
sjesslon to further consider the advisability
ot summoning witnesses asked for by tha
minority. After some discussion It was de
cided to postpone tha taking of a vote on
the proposition until tomorrow morning, at
which time tha committee will also pass
on the question of the advisability of send
tng a subcommittee to tha Philippines to
continue the investigation.

. idlng before congress.
President Roosevelt expressed himself aa
desirous of seeing the range problems of
the west adjusted so the lands may be se
cured for email settlers with the least de
gree of hardship upon those now using
them for graslng purposes. In the matter
ot removal of fences, which waa taken up
by the delegation, no assurance could be
given of relief from the orders which have
been Issued by the Interior department
providing for taking down the fences
around government land. The visiting cat
tlemen have little hope of securing any
modification of the fence removal orders.
They assert tbst the removal of the fences
without the passage of the grazing land
leasing law will cause the withdrawal of
much capital from the rattle business and
will force many Investors and owners of
herds to remove their property to Canada,
where the government Is very liberal In lta
treatment of stock owners.
Before leaving the capital the cattlemen
111 endeavor to formulate a bill providing
a leasing regulation applicable to the state
of Nebraska, leaving other states to de
pend upon their own exertions to secure
leasing legislation euttable to their needs.
The delegation of cattlemen will leave
for the west tomorrow.

mlttee Senators Piatt of Connecticut,

reached. Tbe auggestlon that they ahould
be summoned was made by Senator Piatt,
who said that for obvious reasons the In
qulry should begin with them. Senator
Teller replied that the proposition met his
entire approval.
No time waa fixed for the next meeting,
but it wss agreed that it ahould take place
as soon aa the' witnesses could be secured.
No names of other witnesses were men
tloned, but Senator Teller aald he would
from time to time make suggestions In that
respect. He had no vary extended list and
tbe- opinion waa generally expressed that
the Investigation would not be long drawn
out unless men would be summoned from
Cuba, when some time would be required
to secure the persoaa wanted. The com
mlttee reached no conclualon aa to whether
any Cubans ahould be aaked to attend, but
Mr. Teller Indicated his purpose to press
for their appearance.
After the adjournment of the conference
Senator Piatt expressed the opinion tbst
the consideration of the reciprocity bill

sion was a violent one, the vessel was but
slightly Injured.
On account of the rough weather at aea
It was decided by the commander of Ful
ton to put into the Delaware breakwater

cape, aa the hold waa rapidly filling with
gasoline fumes. ' ,

Merrell and Boatswain Charles Berg were
on deck when the explosion occurred and
signalled the tug Storm King and yacht

After the explosion Fulton wss towed to
the government pier nesr the hospital.
Fulton left Sandy Hook at 8:30 Monday
morning. Bhertly afterward it submerged
and made fifteen miles under water, going
at the rate of five miles an hour off Long
Branch. It came to the surface and made
six miles an hour during tbe trip until the
accident occurred. It proved to be a good
aea boat and did not once require the as
sistance of its convoy. The engines ran
continuously for twenty hours. Those on

DENIES THERE IS BEEF TRUST
harles W. Armonr Explains
Price of Beef la Doe to

High
KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 29 (Special
Telegram.) Charles W. Armour, head of
the Armour Interests In Kansas City, said
today that It there la a tmat among the
packers he knows nothing of It. He said
be would cheerfully obey the summons of
the attorney general to appear at Jefferson
City on May 6 and tell what he knows about
the rhatge that a combine exists among
the packers. Mr. Armour explains high
prices of meat on the ground of the dry
weather laat summer In Kansas, Oklahoma,
northern Texas, Nebraska and parta of Mis
souri, which had the effect of cutting down
the receipts of live stock In the five mar
kets of the world In an unusual degree.
Another reason, Mr. Armour says, for the
advance In the price of meats. Is the In
creased cost of commodities used In pack
ing plants. "Coal during the last year
has advanced 25 to 30 per cent In price.
Pig tin, which a few yeara ago cost us
114 cents a pound, now cost us 28 cents,
taking yesterday's closing market for It.
The timber out of which we are to make
our boxes has advanced on an average of
$7 per thousand feet. Everything else has
advanced more or less, while the price of
labor Is either about tbe same or a -little
higher."
Even in the event that a packing trust
should be formed Mr. Armour contended
that the students of the law of supply and
demand would figure It out that the prices
were extortionate and the result would be,
he said, competing companies tn the pack-
lug business whose managers would be
satisfied with a reasonable per cent on
their investment.

DALLAS. Tex., April 29. A dipatch from

Fatally Injured.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee.
Infant of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Trice.

cover. In Glenrose thirty-three buildings
were destroyed. More then 1,000 persons
are homeless and destitute.
Relief parties have started from Gran
bury with medicines anil other supplies
and accompanied by several physicians.
The tornado literally devastated farm prop
erly and cropa for a distance of five miles
north of Glenrose and seven miles south,

Tornndo Sweeps Down Valley.
Glenrose la located on tbe Paluxy river, Is
a valley. The tornado came down tha val
ley, sweeping everything before It. It
struck the town in the business district
and about one-third of the atores war
wrecked.
A hard rain succeeded tbe storm and
stocks were ruined, damaging what bad
not been destroyed by tbe wind. Tha
western portion of the residence aectton
of the town was struck. Here were located
most ot the fine residences. Tha town
being a email one, but a noted health re
sort, some ot tbe houses were commodious
and well furnished.
The frame houses were simply torn '
asunder and scattered. Their Inmates had
no warning of the Impending calamity and
It was here tbat all the fatalities occurred.
There were many miraculous escapee and
many failed to escape. How many, cannot
be told until communication ha been re
opened.
The residence of Mrs. Connell, one 4
those wrecked, caught fire and, with two
others, waa burned.
Heavy Property Loss.
The property loss Is roughly estimated
at $250,000. It may prove to be much
greater when all the facts are known, for
there are undoubtedly other sections which
have been devastated up and down tha
river. It may be several days before tbe
entire story of the disaster la known.
The town Is cut off from wire communi
cation and all tbe facts have come from
neighboring towns wbtch bsve been reached
by refugees, who cannot tell all tbe facts.
aa they are In quest of aaslatanca for their
stricken people.
Glenrose Is the county seat of Somervell
county and haa a population of about 800
people. It is a noted health resort, there
being many springs and wells with medici
nal qualities. It la this which haa eauaed
a number of fine residences to be built by
people of means, who have taken up their
abode there, and tbta fact adda to tha
property loss very materially.
Tbe Fort Worth A Rio Grande will rub a
special train to the atrlcken town this
morning. Aboard will be supplies for tha
sufferers. This train will also pick up other
supplies and relief parties at placea along
tbe line. Those whose homes have been
spared are doing all In their power for the
homeless, but, according to reporta here,
there are many of the latter.
