REPUBLICANDEFENSE
The Mouthpiece of the Administration
Outlined the Scheme
SENATOR LODGE SPEECH
General Denial to the Charges Made
by the Democrats
GUILTY ARE TO BE SHIELDED
Atrocities to Be Denounced and Fair
Promises Made
A SPLENDID CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS
To Make Excellent Campaign Material
but the Radical Majority Will Enact
the Bill Into Law
Special to The Post
Washington May 6 Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts chairman of the committee
on the Philippines today made tho first
speech of any magnitude which has yet
been made by the pro administration forces
In the senate during the consideration of
the Philippines government bill A was
foreshadowed In these dispatches last week
he merely handled his subject In a general
way leaving the matter of detail to tho
other republican senators who are to follow
him Mr Lodge had spoken only a few
minutes before tho line of defense to be
followed by the admlnlslratlonlsts was
made appnient The atrocities practiced In
the Islands aro to hare all sorts of anath-
emas hurled at them and promises that the
guilty ones shall be punished arc to be
freely made The high officers who are
more or less responsible fonthe manner In
which the campaign has been conducted are
to be excused In every possible way and an
attompt will be made to demonstrate that
tho president and tho war department were
unaware of the character of the warfare
being carried on by our troops It will be
denied that the republicans are pursuing
their present course In the hope of making
money out of the Islands In short a sort
of general denial to the clmges made by
the democrats will be entered It Is confi
dently believed on the minority side that
the speeches whkh will bo made by the
republicans as a result of the recent change
of tactics will gho the dciLocratB a chance
to bring out point which couldiuot other-
wise have been brought ou and as a result
those who aie leading the mlnoilty light
aro feeling very well satlstted The light
will be a hard one and while there Is lit-
tle room for hope that the bill wilt not
eventually be enacted Into law thero Is rea
son to bellee that the democrats will have
an opportunity to make some excellent cam
palgn material and that this oppoitunlty
will be Improved to tho utmost
The opponents of the bill Mr IvOdge said
had charged that It opened the way to ex
ploiters syndicates and carpetbaggers lie
wns rnare of the geueral hostility of t c
democratic party to any man v ho had made
money or Is making monej
Mr Lodge discussing tho tcstltnonj of
Governor Taft declared that lie was one
of the most candid fahmlndcd men who
had made glcat sacrifices to go to the Pull
lpplucs lie hud labored there disinter-
estedly and although In Impaired health
proposed to go buck to the Islands lie
paid a high tribute also to Acting Gov-
ernor Luke Wrlgut and declared that If he
and Governor Taft wcic not to be trusted
no American could be trusted
The attack of the minority however had
not been coullued to the Philippine commis-
sion Dcmociatlc senatois had made an
attack on the American army because It
was charged cruelties hud been committed
upon the Illlplnos The army has been lc
totlous and In the Philippines It now meets
the same abuse the Unlou army met after
Appomattox Chaffee like Giant Is called
a butcher The senator from Utah hnd
grosslj exaggerated the situation In the
Philippines It was a source of bitter re
grct to him Lodge that any American
officer or enlisted man should have toi
tuied any Filipino or that any order had
been Issued that on Its face seemed revolt-
ing
Hut ho said there must be some
reason for these alleged cruelties
He then told of three American soldiers
who were captured bj the Illlplnos They
were stripped nuked aud told that If they
would cry long live the Filipino republic
they might run aw a Into tho bush as they
were One of the men stood there naked
amidst the hostile baud and died long
live Aiaerlta The Illlplnos led him to
a tree and the women and children stoned
him to death The other two lost their
hearts and cried long live the Filipino
lepubllc but they were cut to pieces vtb
bolos
After that slid be It Is no wonder tho
comrades of thfSc men went Into buttle
with cries of vengeance
Mr Lodge Mid It had been charged by
Mr Havvlins that General Chaffee bod re-
ceived Lis education In savagery In
Chlnv Against those cruel words he Mid
be cited General Chiftces official record
It was Geneiul Chaffee the senator said
who In a conference of generals had do
eUred his piirpn e to inarch at one upon

JQUEEN MAY REGOVE
The Hague May 5 A bulletin Issued at Castle Loo at 280 p m announced
that the condition of Queen WUhelmlna was satisfactory up to that time It
transpired that tho first disquieting symptom In the queens condition manifested
themselves during Saturday An urgent summons was dispatched for an ac
couchcr who remained at the bedside all night and summoned Dr tloesilns and
rrofessor Konwer tho gynecologist of Utrecht university who arrived at Castlo
Loo yesterday afternoon
Tho condition of the queen was at that time considered extramely gave Th
queens mother and the prince conTort did not lcavo the bedside Toward night-
fall the patient became worse and suffered lntenso pain
The most critical time was reached botvvecn 1130 a m and 1 p a indabout
midnight the doctors announced that the accouchmcnt was over
This mornings statement that In spite of great pain her majestys condition
was relatively satisfactory considerably lessened tho anxiety of the queens rela-
tives and attendants This feeling of relief was increased by the departure of
Professor Konwer from tho castle and the wording of this afternoons bulletin
Tho official admission of the real Illness of tho queen of Holland which the
Associated Press was able to announce April 17 from Amsterdam may be regarded
as an Indication of a grave crisis In her majestys condition and coming so sud-
denly upon the bulletins announcing b er Imminent recovery It will causo a shock
throughout Rurope Apart from the difficulties surrounding ths question of the b
succession to the throne of Holland tho death of Queen WUhelmlna If this should
unhappily occut would tend to convulse tbo continent politically In Germany
especially Is It a matter of the deepest Import The German press claims that
Prince Albrccht of llohenxollern tho acting regent of Brunswick Is amone tho
nearest In the Dutch succession o
humane manner possible no declared
that President McKlnlcy one of the most
humane aud generous of men had directed
the army to show the Illlplnos tbo greatest
kindness From that policy the successor of
McKlnley had not deviated Within a few
days orders had gone from the White House
for the Investigation of alleged cruelties and
to punish any found guilty of atrocities
Mr Lodge made a warm defense of the
secretary of war asrcrttng that lu the long
list of distinguished men who had occupied
that office there never had been nu abler
more publicspirited or patriotic man than
Secretary Itoot The secretary And dono his
full duty In probing to the bottom charges
of cruelty or maladministration made to
himTowns
Towns had been burned said Mr Lodge
In the course of this war as towns bad been
burned In the course of every war and
while such cases were to be deplored they
were Incidents of war In the speechcs of
the minority be sntd women and children
had been slaughtered but thero wns not In
the records an authenticated case of the
killing of women or children traceablo to
the American soldiers
All of us be said want to see Justice
done we want to see those guilty of torture
punished
Ho paid n high tribute to American
nrmy In the Philippines all of thomembeis
of which he pointed out wcrii volunteers
They represented thoroughly tho American
communities which gave them birth They
were not saints they were not devils liio
atrocltlen which bad been committed In Iso-
lated Instances and which all regretted
hud grown out of warfare1
Mr Lodgo quoted from the records many
Instances of atrocities committed by the
Filipino Insurgents on the American
troops Men had been captured as pilsou
ers of war and had their ears cut off their
intestines cut out and their bodies othci
wise horribly mutilated Others hnd been
driven Into streams and while drowning
had been shot Still others had been burled
alive Rending from statistics furnished by
the authorities In the Philippines he show-
ed that 422 natives had been assaulted
tiid mutilated beciuse they nympathlscd
with Vie Americans Sixtyseven officers
friendly to < hc Americans had been assassi-
nated and forty had been assaulted and
mutilated
He closed his pcech bj saying Wo
are told that vc had no friends among the
Filipinos Apparently fho Insurgents
thought theie were enough friends to make-
up that awful toll of assassination I have
heard torrents of sjmpithy for the Insur-
gents fighting ngnlnst the flag and nuthoi
Ity of the Unlteel Htntes but not one word
of sjmpathy for the Filipinos men of tho
same race who aro friendly to us and who
asked only to live In pcaco beneath our
flag
Their lives were as dear to them as
those Filipinos who were aiding the Insur-
gents and they were our friends Thero
are more of them and I say that whatever
else may be true or false If we get out of
those Islands and leave these friends to a
fate like that wo are unworthy of tho
name of n great nation
Mr Lodge declared he did not wish to
defend cruelty but said he was shocked be
jnnd measure at the attacks made upon tho
nrm > He added Wo condemn Waller
for shooting treniherons k I1 s When wo
think of that little band of his that strng
gird thimigh the wilderness of Samar
vvheie no Spaniard hnd ever gone and raino
out on tbo other side delirious with fctiffcr
Ings so Hint he wni reported when he
lllst reached Manila to be out of his mind
let us n member their circumstances ere
w condemn Think of those live or six
hundred posts scattered all over those
lalnuds little squads of fifteen or twenty
men under the command very often of a
lieutenant there
sergeant or a young
among people apparently friendly Tba
first thing this boy in command or the rr
geant knows Is that one of bis men hat
been assassinated In tho night
Ah Mr President these are things that
bnvc hardened their heorts and made them
feed that thero Is treachery among them
Thero Is but one testimony as t < > the treat-
ment of tho friendly native Snldlers and
officers alike treated them as we could ex-
pect Americans to licat people nf that k nd
generously and humanely I do not wish
to bo put In the position of a defender of
cruellies If I must malte my choice
I am for the friendly native the
of America ngalnst the men In
ngalnst her and 1 am for tho American
ermy against tho Insurgents
The scheme has been to raise this cry
of cruelty In the Phlllnnlnes In order to
make tt react upon the party In power The
American army ought not to be subject to

be tho footstool of politics and what U docs
or does not It ought not to bo usod to raise
up or pull down any political party When
Justice Is done when tho guilty have been
punished when tho wholo story hns been
made up I believe that after all that has
been said and all the denunciation that
has been heaped upon our troops and our
officers have fallen Into sllonce wo shall
find that In tho hlstorr of tho country tho
record of that army gleaming with victories
from Trenton to Manila will shine brightly
In tho nnnals of the republic when thuse
who vilify It aro but rotcless blots on a
remembered name
When Mr Lodge had concluded bis
speech ho was warmly congratulated by
many of his colleagues Twice In tho course
of his speech the galleries burst Into bpon
taneous applause
Mr Rawlins then made 1 brief reply to
Mr Lodge He disclaimed any effort by
