POLITICS IN OTIS CASE
Necessity for the Prompt Suppression of
the Insurrection.
Views Likely to &c Pressed Upon the
President by Members
of Congress-.

There is a great deal of talk from a
political point of view concerning the de-
STABILITY Of having some other general in
the place of General Otis in the Philip
pines. 1t is said that suggestions now
made looking toward the retirement of
General Otis from command of the Philip
pine forces are not favorably received.
and that the utmost confidence in Otis is
manifested in the War Department. AS far
as can be ascertained, there is no indica
ton of a purpose to make a change in the
command
Yet it is suggested that before long the
President will hear enough from senator's
and representatives, who are prone to con-
sider the matter from a political point of
view, to induce him to pay some attention
to the criticism passed upon General Otis
method OF conducting the war. To men in
Congress the successful termination of the
war within short time is viewed as a
political necessity, and they are not dis
posed to jeopa rdiZe this out of considera-
ton for General Otis.
They say that Otis may be all right, but
THAT If there is any doubt about his being
the best man for the work to be done, the
administration cannot afford to take any
chances. The criticism of Otis by the cor
respondents at Manila. especially in the
letter published this morning credited to
Mr.. Collins of the Associated Press, is
garded as likely to arouse public sentiment
and to create universal distrust of Cen
eral Otis management of the Philippine af-
fairs. Such criticism, it is felt. is bound
to excite feeling that will have an in
fiuence in politics, unless the operations in
the Philippines are Immediately successful
after the campaign opens at the close of
the rainy season.
Moreover, it is suggested that as long as
Otis is in authority the public will enter
tain more less doubt of the accuracy of
reports to conditions on islands,
its distrust having been aroused, and
such a feeling of uncertainty could hardly
fail to have a bad influence politically, its
tendency being to encourage the efforts of
the anti-eXpansiOnists. Most of the men
in Congress who believe the expansion
policy to be right have perfect confidence
that the people of this country will stick
to a purpose whatever the difficulties may
be if they have confidence that they are
being dealt with frankly, and that ma
jority believing in expansion. there is
nothing to be feared from a disclosure all
the while of the exact situation, but that
uncertainty is apt to bring discomfort
1t is felt that it will be impossible to
prevent discussion Of the Philippine ques-
ton as soon as Congress meets and that
between now and then the atmosphere
should be cleared not to give the op-
ponents of the policy of the administra
ton anything upon which to hang a criti-
olsm complaint with apparent justice.

IMPROVING PEARL HARBOR.
Necessary Real Estate May he Con-
demned for Government Use.


demned for Government Use.
Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau of
equipment, and Gen. Wilson, chief of en-
gineers, have been in consultation respect
ing the improvement of Pearl ,harbor, Ha-
waii, with view to the establishment of a
naval station there, directed by Con-
gress. An unexpected and serious obstacle
to the execution of the plans of the two de-
partments has been encountered in the
shape of refractory real estate holders,
who, in the opinion of the officials here,
are seeking to practice extortion upon the
government in the matter of the price de-
manded by them for the lands which the
government must have for the naval sta
ton. Having exhausted all other proper
methods to protect the governments inter-
ests in this case, the officials have deter
mined now to proceed to acquire the nec-
essary lands through condemnation pro-
ceedings, having satisfied themselves that
that can be accomplished through the Ha-
waiian laws as they stand today.
The Navy Department has just received
the detailed survey of Pearl harbor made
last year by the Bennington. 1t is far
more complete than anything before under
taken, and one result of study of that
survey has been to satisfy the engineer Of
ficers that good deal of work must be
done In Strengthening the channels connect
ing the harbor with the sea that was not
foreseen when the project was laid down.

Senator Foster of Washington had an in
terview with Acting Secretary Adee of the
State Department yesterday. He discussed

tanned map made at that time, In which
the boundary is clearly defined follow
ing the indentations of the coast. The SEN

veys. as there were no other Investigations
of that coast made by other nations at that
time.
The senator represented to Mr.. Adee that

much interested in having the United
States retain control of the territory it has
possessed. and expressed the hope that no
concessions would be made interfering with

SCENES AT CLOSE OF THE TRIAL.

RENNES September 9.-The appearance
of the streets when Rennes awoke this
morning left no doubts in the minds of any
one that the final crisis of the great trial
had been reached. Instead Of scattered

prison and the Lycee, the whole town
bristled with soldiers, all the streets near
the court were guarded at intervals by
double lines of infantry, two companies of
infantry sat on the church steps adjoining
the Lycee with their arms stacked in front
of them. while in the courtyard of the prison

Cotton Bons For Paris Exposition.

Meridian. Miss, Nov. 11.-O. c. King,
of this city commissioner from the
state of Mississippi to the Paris ex-
position in 1900, has arranged with a
party who has secured at the right
season 100000 selected full grown cot
ton bolls, which will be sold at the
Paris exposition by original cotton
field darkeys as souvenirs of the
American cotton exhibit These will
be the first cotton bolls ever shipped
abroad, and they will doubtless be
eagerly sought after by people who
have used quantities of American cot
ton, but who never have seen it in its
natural form.
