GENERAL LAYTON WRITES.
HE PRAISES GENERAL OTIS.
He Refutes the Recent Stories About
Him and General Otfs-End of Organ
lied Opposition Is Near Secretary
Root Has Confidence in General Otis.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 30.-A private
letter received at the war department
from General Lawton refutes the recent
allegations made in dispatches from Ma
Mia that the general was not in harmony
with General Otis optimistic views re-
garding the campaign in the Philippines
General Lawton has been quoted time and
again as saying that we could not put
down the instruction without an army
Of 100000 men, and that even then the
campaign must be one of many months
In the letter which General Lawton has
written to an officer in the war depart
ment, dated July II, he says:
Il believe the end of the organized OPP
position to the authority of the United
States Is now in sight. We are a long way
from home and very little news reaches
us. We have rumor, however, that
there Is new secretary of war;
This letter from General Lawton agrees
substantially with the official dispatches
from General Otis of about the same date.
1t convinces officials of the war depart
Iuent that General Lawton, and also Gen
erals Macarthur, Wheaton and Bates, are
working in perfect harmony with General
Otis, and that the governor generals op-
timistic dispatches have been based upon
the reports he received from his COM
manders in the field.
1t Is also said that since Secretary Root
has had time to 60 over the official re-
ports of General Otis he has become an
enthusiastic admirer of the general. and
has absolute confidence in his ability to
conduct the Philippine campaign without
advices from Washington.

The Secret Understanding.

Chicago, Aug. 9O.-A special from OF
tawa, Ont, says:
Washington dispatches relating to an
alleged secret understanding between the
United States authorities and Premier
Laurier are regarded here as having some
foundation in fact, though they may be
to some extent conjectural. Any under
standing is necessarily unwritten and pri-
vate, it is stated. 1t is unofficial and tenn
porary, and disposes finally of none of the
questions, but simply holds matters in
statu quo.
The secret understanding, according to
ministerial circles here, is merely to hold
in check and defer possible demonstra-
tions provoked by the intention of the
president to cede to Canada free port in
the Lynn canal in return for Canada's re-
linquishing her claims to the entire head
waters OF the inlet, including Dyea, Skag-
way and Pyramid harbor.
