Third Its Former Strength.

today Gen. Harrison Gray Otis declared
his inability to agree with the round
robin issued by newspaper correspond
ents in the Philippines. Gen. Otis is on
his way to Los Angeles, having been in
Washington. where he had conference
with the President. He said: Gen. Otis
should be heard from before the round
robin is discussed as to its fairness. The
commanding general has not been unduly
optimistic-rather the opposite. | know
of cases where he had opportunities of
making highly favorable reports of his
military operations, but modestly re-
Trained from doing SO. lie and his Off
GERS do not look with favor on newspaper
reports which with all intentions of being
fair are apt to be exaggerated. | am sat
isfied that the official reports from Ma
Mia in regard to our killed and wounded
as well as to deaths from disease, have
been accurate. | have noticed nothing
in the newspapers to indicate that there
was any desire TO suppress information of
this kind.
Gen. Otis has the situation we'll in
hand, as he has stated. From an army
of 80, 900 the insurgents have undoubted-
ly been reduced to a scattered 10000,
and Aguinaldo's capital is on the back of
pony. What Otis started out to do he
has done. He holds Manila and all the
strategic positions which he needed, while
the rebel force is held apart"
