As = Coward Was General Otis. by

Denver. Colo, Aug. lS.-In a

to General Otis's headquarters.
This 70 the converse ION that Is

THE PHILIPPINE WAR.

Secretary Root has had no time
to consider any matter Of import
ance since he assumed charge OF
the War Department, except the
preparations for moving the army
now under orders for the Philip
pines. Ills purpose is to have
these reinforcements on the way by
SeptembeT LIST, ana to keep every
transport employed until all Of the
regiments have been landed. When
the work of transportation is com
pleted and the reinforcements have
arrived at Manila, there will be
ample time, it is said, to give
thought to the selection Of a com.
mander at the front. Mr.. Root
has been said to show II preference
for General Merritt, should Gus
be removed from charge of the field
movements. The strongest al
cate General Otis has is his per.
sonnl friend, General C0rbin, who
has great confidence IN the present
commander of Our forces in the
Philippines. Though Otis was u
creature of AIger, it is alleged the
latter would have removed him
but for the fact that General Cor
BINS influence was more potent ut
the White House than his, and
that no high officer would be DIS
turOed unless COrbiu approved.
From u statement prepared by
Quartermaster General Ladingtou
to Secretary Root, provisions are
made FOR transporting 10. S55 sol
diers, including 400 marines, the
first transport to sail in e few days
and the last by October y. A
second trip OF the transports is
provided, beginning with the sail
ing Of the Morgan City on Novem
~ W. "'N Sl'A'FH WIN tlfc IN
diana on January 18th. Seventeen
transports are available with a Ca
ptcIty of 1880 men. Two trims
each would give Otis reinforce
mcnts Of 34,z4O men. General
Miles favored the dispatch Of addi
iional cavalry forces to- the philip
pines. bringing the total up to
10, 900, but it is sand that Secretary
Root has az present no intention to
act upon the suggestions Of Gen.
Miles. A general circular has now
been issued by the War Depart
ment to all commanding officers
with rules to govern the transmits.
sion Of messages, military and
otherwise. The circular makes
clear provisions with regard to mil.
itnry censorship.
