Marine Corps suu Angry a, Otis,
Treatment of Their work.


Treatment of Their Work.
Washington, Oct 14.-Officers of the
marine corps are incensed against Cen
Otis, and it would not be surprising IL
Gen. Haywood, the commandant of the
corps, made a protest to the navy de-
partment against the method of the
army commander in failing to give due
credit to the marines for their recent
work on shore. The head of the marine
corps does not conceal his wrath over
Gen. Otis conduct, while other ofticers
OF the sea soldiery are equally wrought
up.
1t is pointed out by these officers that
zen. Jus lalied to describe at requisite
iehsth, from the standpoint of the ma
rines' the work accomplished recently
oy the marines, and had it not been for
the oispatch of Rear Admiral Watson
lhe following day the navy department
"ouio not have known. the marine
corps was doing anything more tnan
making "demonstra tion."
Inc marine officers say there is quite
dlilerence between the ..demonstra-
tlon' described by Gen. Otis and the
engagement in which the marines actu-
any took part, and for which Admiral
watson gives them abundant credit.
The incident has served to involve the
marine crops in the bitter controver-
sizes which exist between the army and
Eavy. Officers of each service have tried
90 belittle the achievements of the
other.
A protest from the marine crops
would be referred to the president, and
II might lead to some inquiry through
Secretary Root of Gen. Otis, with a
precautionary message in regard to fu-
ture dispatches in which there is a de-
scription of the work of the navy and
marine corps. The marines are angry
enough to ask for Otis recall.
soldiers. The bodies which are not
claimed will be Inferred at the national
cemetery near the Iresidio, California.
