none of the troops speak a good word
for Gen. Otis, who is looked upon as
too slow and inefficient for the position
of commanding officer, Whenever Gen.

thing he would cut the telegraph line
so that he could not receive orders re.
straining him, and it would be given
out at Manila that the Filippinos had
cut the wire. With Gen. Lawton and
