TESTIMONY ON WATER CURE IN PHILIPPINES WITNESS DESCRIBES HUMANE TREATMENT
Des Moines sergeant Merk H. Kivans testified before a senate committee that water-cure methods were used on Filipinos in the Batangas Luzon area and near Orano during 1900. He described ducking suspects, a tooth knocked out, and village burnings claimed to counter insurgents. He said orders urged humane treatment, but natives offered no appreciation and sometimes harmed American troops, including an incident where two soldiers were killed and their ears cut off.
