Ex- Consul Wildman's Views on War
in Philippines.
BE SAYS GENERAL Otis is TOO OLD
Denies Statement That Dewey
Made Promises to AguinaIdo.
1T IS A FINE COUN TRY

NEW YORK, October Edwin Wild
at Hong Kong, and who was stationed
there when the war in the Philippines was
begun, was a passenger on the American
Line steamship ST. Louis. which reached
her dock from Southampton and Cherbourg
today. Mr.. Wildman spoke on conditions in
the Philippines. and eulogized Admiral
Dewey. The Philippines" he said, ARE
we'll worth the struggle. The country out
there is magnificent and the climate Is
good There are seven months of good
weather, and then comes the rainy season,
when one can do nothing. But then in
every country there is the bad time of the
year. The sooner We get down to govern
ing the islands the better. They are worth
much from a commercial standpoint. The
whole country is rich and productive
General Otis is too old and not aggres-
sive. He tries to do the whole thing out
there, and like every other man who tries
to do all, he does nothing successfully.
The great need out in the islands is
young and aggressive man.
Country for Young Men.
1T is country for young men, and not
for men of Otis age. He will never con-
quer that people, for he does not under
stand them; they are constantly imposing
on him and fooling him.
When will the war end?" asked a re-
porter.
That l cannot say. 1t depends on the
policy of the government. There are two
ways of ending the war; first, by quick. ag-
gressive moves into the country by detach-
ed regiments, and the second by compro-
missing with the Philippine leaders. The
second, it seems, will not be adopted, so
the first should be pushed
"A general should be put out there who
is young, experienced and a fighter. one who
knows something about fighting the In
Arthur would do. Gen. Miles would also
be good man if he were sent.
Now as to the question of self-govern-
ment, 1 am led to believe that none of the
native people are capable of that in the
highest sense of the word The only way
that the natives could govern is under
American supervision.
Flag Should Not He Lowered.
Il believe that the flag in the Philippines
should never be lowered. We have got to
conquer or annihilate them. The question
is, which will our war do?
Il want to say now that at no time was
Aguinaldo or any of the Filipinos prom
ised independence. Admiral Dewey made
them no promises. We brought Aguinaldo
over to Manila the same any other man
was brought over there to help. At no
time was anything said about giving them
their independence You will notice that In
his mantfestos AgunaIdo is careful not to
say directly that there We're promises made
That talk always comes from some of his
followers who have something to gain by
his success"

remembered longest, not for the debate, but
for their part In the mighty events which
ensued. They will live because the Union
which was saved and the liberty which was
established will endure to perpetuate their
names.
ITO Lincoln, who in 1865 was struggling

against It's further extension, was finally

CONTRARY TO LAW.
Admiral WatsOn's Leniency in the
Case of Cndet Van Orden.

Case of Cadet Van Orden.
Acting Secretary Allen has disapproved
the action of Rear Admiral Watson in the
court-martial case of Naval Cadet George
Van Orden attached to the Helena, who
was tried and sentenced at Cavite, August
% last, to dismissal from the service for
leaving his station without being regularly
relieved.
Six of the seven members of the court, in
consideration of the youth and nexperience
of the accused, recommended him for
clemency whereupon Rear Admiral Wat
son mitigated the sentence to the loss of
fifteen numbers in his grade young Van
Orden having in the meantime been trans
ferred to the Marine Corps as first lieu
tenant.
Acting Secretary Allen set aside the SEN
tence calling Admiral Watsons attention
to the ract that the statutory law forbids
a Communication of sentence of that kind.
