Everybody Over ten years of Age Came Under Order—Adminis tiatlon Frightened by the Admission of Brutality of General Smith, Manila. April 26. —The trial by conn martial ol Gen. Jacob H. Smith on the charge of conduct prejudical to goon order and discipline began today. General ! Joy J Wheaton pre sided. Colonel Charles A. Woodruff, coun sel tor the delense. said he desired |to simplify the proceedings. He was willing to admit Major Waller to kill and burn and make Samara howling . wilderness, that he wanted everybody killed capable of bearing arms and that lie did specify all over ten years of age, hi the Samar hoys at that age were equally as dangerous as their elders. Captain David D. Porter, marine corps, and Lieutenant John H. A. Day, marine corps, were the only two witnesses examined. Tile testimony developed nothing new. Major Littleton T.

The defense will call several otll , ers of lUe Ninth infantry, Major Waller and Lieutenant Day. of the marine corps, who were tried by courtniaitial here, on fine charge of executing natives of the island of Samar without trial, have been ac quitted. Administration Is Frightened. Washington, April 26.—War depart ment officials are very much disturbed ever the reported admissions made by counsel for General Jacob Smith as stated in the cables from Manila tliis afternoon, but they are not near ly so much as the administration pol iticians, who consider it extremely un fortunate that Colonel Woodruff, who represents General Smith, should have admitted that General Smith gave in structions to Major Waller to kill, burn and make Samara howling wil derness; that he wanted everybody killed capable of bearing arms, and that he did specify all over 10 years of age. Nobody here anticipates any serious consequences to General Smith as the result of this eourtmartial, and the republican politicians who have set out to withwash everything done In the Philippines believe that this ad mission of General Smiu, s counsel will greatly injure the party in the elections. In the hope that they mignt prove a sedative to quiet the inuignation man ifesting itself all over the country at the disclosures of army methods, the war department sent to me sen ate today a great, batch ot testimo nials from different communities in the Philippine islands indorsing the American soldiers. These were gen erally in the shape or petitions for the retention of the American soldiers raider than the Filipino scouts. The fact that the American soldiers are especially welcomed because of the good pay they receive and of their liberality in spending as compared with the native scouts, is not men tioned in these papers.
