I ROOT STANDS BY
ACCUSED OFFICER
j Intimates Very Strongly That Oen. Hlles Was In
strumental in Causing Maj. Howze to Be Accused
Through an Irregular Channel—An Order Which
Will Cause a Real Investigation Involving the
Honor of Ten Officers.
WASHINGTON. May 2S.- Secretary
Boot today made public all the papers
in connection with the charges made
against Maj. Robert L. Howxo of hav
ing authorized the brutal and fatal
whipping of hostile natives held js
prisoners at Laoag. Luzon, in the
spring of 1W0. Secretary Root says In
part:
“Howze’s character and conduct af
ford a very strong presumption against
the Probability of hla having done the
things charged. The charges are sus
tained solely by ex parte affidavits of
a large number of native Filipinos wn)
were Jiostlle 4o the American troops,
and who unite in telling a story, which.
If tt Is to be believed, exhibits the most
revolting cruelty. Maj. HUnter, who
collected these affidavits nearly three
years after the incidents to which they
relate, appears by his own letters qnd
the testimony of his brother officer*,
to have entertained a bltler personal
animosity towards Maj. llowze.
“The statements of these native affi
davits are directly contradicted by the
positive oaths of Maj- Howze himself
and the ten officers who were stationed
at Laoag at the time. Either the oaths
and statements of these American offi
cers are false, or the native affidavits
produced by Maj. Hunter are false.”
Mr. Hunter, who made the charges,
sent them to Governor Taft and not
through the regular military channels
The secretary says this was “designed
to' secure Maj. Howie's removal from
command, and underhanded and most
reprehensible.”
Secretary Root concludes as follows:
“Upon all Jhe papers produced, it ap
pears that the charges against Major
Howie are false; that there were
such beatings as are described in the
affidavits produced by Major Hunter:
that Major Ilowze's report upon his in
vestigation of the subject was a tru<
report.
“I au» not satisfied, howevar. to *env<
the case here, resting upou ex parte af
fidavits. Major Howze has asked for a
court of inquiry, and I direct that n
board of three officers be detailed by x
the commanding general, division of the
I’hlUppines.to proceed to Laoag and call
before them the witnesses whose names
appear upon the affidavits procured by
Major Hunter, and subject them to
examination and cross - examination
upon the facts and call a!l other wit
nesses whom they mny find to have
knowledge of the facts, and report their
“Upon the coming In of their report,
such further order as may seem to be
required will be made for the oral ex
amination and cross-examination of
witnesses,elsewhere than at Laoag.hav-
Jng knowledge of the facts.”
Major Hunter, 4t appears from his re
port, made the Investigation under on
order Issued by Lleut.-Oen. Miles, com
manding the army, dated at Manila,
November 28, 1902.

LEXINGTON, Ky„ May 28.—The
momlpg session of the Southern Pres

devoted to further discussion of tho
subject of consolidating the offices of
the 'general superintendent of Sunday
schools and young people's societies.
The assembly finally decided against a
consolidation.
U.^E. Magili of Richmond was elect
ed secretary and business manager of
the assembly's publication committee.
The report of the committee on theo
logical seminaries which was adopted
showed that the character of work of
the student bodies at these Institutions
has been highly satisfactory. Thla year
there will be thirty-nine graduates. A
board, to consist of one professor and
one trustee from each seminary. Is to
be formed. 8. W. Somerville, superin

Ala. Augusta, Ga. was the only other
place considered. A communication
was received from the general synod

NEW YORK. May 28.—The Conatitu-
tlon’s hoodoo almost spoiled the ruca of
the* trio or cup defender candidates la
Irong Island sound today. After sailing
nine miles of the first leg of the race
the Constitution’s topmast was carried
away In a little puff of wind and aha
w'hh out of It for the day. When the ac
cident occurred the Constitution was
half ;i mile behind the Reliance and
was b iding the Columbia, by un equal
distance.
The Reliance and Columbia finished
the race, but It hud become a proces
sion, for the Columbia was never form
idable after th** flint five miles had beep
s i led. The Reliance crossed the finish
Hno a winner by x minutes and 27 sec
onds. Tie* Constitution had sailed %
game race until the accfdent. She had
been handled skillfully but had been
unable to hold the fast Reliance.
Tho Reliance had drawn away half
a mile on tlie Constitution when the
latter felt the disastrous puff. The
starboard upper spreader was stiffened,
the topmast gave way and the hollow
wooden topmast snapped off eight feet
above th*- main topmast. The broken
s;ur, together w th the club topsail
pole, the balloon Jib topsail and tho
topmast rigging, hung suspended by tho
‘dub topsail across the muln peak hal
yards.
The yacht was hove to and the wreck
age* quickly cleared away. No one had
been Injured. After the wreck tho Con
stitution came home under her lower
rails. The Reliance heat the Colum
bia. 4 minute* and 52 seconds on tho
first leg and 30 seconds on the second
leg. The lust leg was the prettiest
spectacle of the day, for the "wind had
freshened to twelve knot* nnd tho Rt-
llnnco bud her lee rail down Into tho
froth and was reeling off eleven knots
to the hour while the pride of former
years drrytged n mile and a half oatern.
