LEGARDO ALL RIGHT.
Washington, Dec.
22.1—Charges
ing been filed with the president affect
ing the moral character of Benito Le
gardo, the secretary of war, has trans
mitted by mail to the civil governor of
the Philippine Islands a copy of them
for his information. These charges were
contained in a cablegram to the presi
dent from persons in Manila. In com
menting on the case Secretary Root ex
pressed the belief that the cablegram
was sent in order that it might be
given to the press and thereby work ir
reparable injury .to the commissioner,
That men's reputations should be thus
publicly assailed before they had a
chance to speak, he strongly condemned.
Legardo is one of the most promi
nent men in the Philippines and war de
partment officials say that on several
occasions he exhibited great bravery in
behalf of the United States when over
tures .were being made to Aguinaldo
to surrender, having gone personally to
him at the great risk of his life and
sought to have him give up his oppo
sition to to American authority. He
is one of three natives appointed by
Governor Taft on the Philippine com
mission.
