Wagner Staten an Effort Was Made to Arrange Thom as Villager. WASHINGTON. May 29—The senate commitee‘ionrthe Philippines today heard the testimony of Col. A. 'i‘. Wag- ner, assistant adiutant general of the years in the Philippines. He was questioned about the concentration camps and described the system by ex- plaining the details of one particular comp. In that camp‘the‘ people were assembled according to villages. so that the people in all cases would have their old neighbors near them. So- far as he had been able to obse’rve there was no evidence of want among the was called the‘ dead line. beyond which the people were not permitted to go. The natives were given to understand line they be avoided. General Wagner said that one of the protect them againstfihe iadroncs. ed. so that in many caries what was called the dead line was in reality the life line. Another object of the camps leetion of the rice supplies in order to starve out the iadrones and gnerillas. The result had been that hostile parties leader. Mslvar’. had beencaptured. The army had been much like" a blind giant. strong enough to cope with the enemy but was not. able to see where the The policy had been nec- essary to protect life and property and he did not see how any other policy could have been successful. The wit- ness said the people were fed and given medical supplies and the sanitation of their camps was looked after. The American camps in the Philippines no more could be compared to Weyler's reconcentrado camps in Cuba than mercy could be compared to cruelty. A number of questions were asked by Bella policy in comparison with that of hls‘IIredecsesor. Geneial Sumner “General Sumner " said the witness." was not allowed to take as severe mea- sures as be deemed necessary because he told me that he was severely handl- capped by his instructions rom de- partment headquarters.” Continuing he said that neither Sum- ner nor Bell had been responsible for the policy pursued. as each was sub- . quarters commanders. "If Sumner had remained in command " he said “he would have been required to carry out the some policy as did Bell." Ilie supposed. he said that the or- ders had Originated with General Chat- fee but he did not understand that the orders were written. The policy had been justified by the fact that all the people congregated had now returned ,to their homes and on the Fourth of July the provinces of Batangas and rule. Returning to the policy of burning villages the witness said that indis- . criminate burning was not counten- anced by the "use of war and that the practice of burning the property of non-combatants was inexcusable. ex- cent in cases in which it was impossi— and in cases in which the enemy was making use of it. ‘ I‘ Colonel Wagner said he had no per— natives in the Philippines, but he gave several instances in .which he had hea‘rd reports of tortures. In most of these it was found on examination that the reports either were untrue or ex. aggerated. . _ YALE PLAYERS HAD A REST. ‘.
