Fighting Useless Battles and Sot Caring
for the sick


Chicago. Oct. ai.-A cablegram from
Manila TO the Record says:
The recent military operations at To
rae on the north and San Francisco
de Malabon on the south were planned
In the Office of General Otis in Manila.
and of course were approved by the
governor general. Notwithstanding
the fact that Ii Is claimed the Maniia-
made plans contemplated only expedi-
tions against the insurgents, the I'M
mediate withdrawal from the regions
captured by the men under General
Schwan. General Grant and General
Macarthur is being severely criticised
Most of this unfa-orable comment
comes from military men, and they
seem 10 he Of the opinion generally that
great mistake has been made. Every
inch OF the territory which has been
abandoned by the Americans has been
reoccupied by the Insurgents The
critics OF General Otis plans bold that
such maneuvcrs are most dtscouragins
to the men and the officers alike. who
feel that their lives are being sacrificed
without any intention OF accomplish
ing results.
1t IS undoubtedly true that In the re
cent demonstrations our losses have
been extremely heavy compared with
the advantages which have been
gained. Military men whose opinion
must have weight say that the terri
tory captured must be held by sarri-
soninG the principal ports and the IN
terror towns.
The hlockadAd ports are filled with
Immense quantities OF hemp which Is
not allowed TO he shipped. Foreign
buyers and shippers say that the mar
kct Is being ruined and the peaceful
people are being starved by the fail
ure OF the Americans to occupy and
control the ports and to protect the
rice crops Of peaceful natives. II Is
claimed that the shortage Of the rice
crop VIII cause great deal OF suffer
ing among the poor.
The officers Of the medical depart
meut feel outraged because General
Otis refuses TO recognize their dire
needs. For many weeks he has had re-
ports before him showing that there
was an absolute necessity for more
medical officers. more nurses and more
hospital room. SIN nothing was done
all through the rainy season. IL h ~

more surgeons and nurses last week.

extreme need OF more substantial quar-
tiers constantly has been impressed mp
on the governor general. whose failure
to erect or provide sufficient hospital
room may possibly be explained by
General Otls' mental attitude. which
caused him to say 10 correspondents
that - per cent. Of the men in the
hospitals were naliusering.
General Otis recently sent lire Of
ticer. who had no medical knowledge
whatsoever. to investigate and report
on the sick list OF a certain regiment
Before the governor general took this
action he had received a report through
the surgeon which contained an expert
diagnosis Of each case His constant

LI0HTNIN0S HAVOC.

During the storm Monday night
lightning struck the handsome res.
id,nce of Louis Beck on North Mil
itary street and wrought ruin in
every room in the house. Nearly
every window light in the house
was broken out, the roof was badly
torn up, the porches damaged and
plastering torn off everywhere. A
wall next to the bed ia which Will
Martin, who lives with Mr.. Beck,
was sleeping. was tora out and the
bedding set on fire. Itis wonder
that Mr.. Martin and Mr. Beck were
not both killed.
Across the street Nr. Shuts
house was damaged and DR.. De
Wits residence just south was set
on fire. but after a hard fight the
house was saved.
The storm was a queer one in
many respects. Scarcely any rain
fell. not enough to wet a roof in
fact and the stroke of lightning
which did the damage mentioned
was the only one of any conse-
quence. People living in the inn
mediate vicinity were severely
shocked and badly frightened.
