Otis Wanted to Sidetrack Him,
But Wheeler Wouldn't
Have It.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia dispatch to
Ihe World from Hong Kong says ad-
vices sent here to avoid Otis cen
sorship at Manila, bearing date of Sept.
2, say:
General Joseph Wheeler only OBJ
tanned an assignment to active duty
after serious dispute with General
Otis, who wanted to sidetrack the vet
eran fighter by sending him to some
obscure post in the southern islands.
General Wheeler now declares that he
will apply for permission to return to
the United States soon unless there is
some change in the management of
affairs in the Philippines. -.a
IAN association of natives styling
itself the Filipino Liberation society,
has applied for permission to organize
in Manila, with General Otis as the
president. The general has declined to
pledge himself in the matter, but
thought it might be possible to forward
the operations of the association.
According to private letters received
within the American lines several of
the rebel colonels and two of Agui-
naldo's brigadiers intend to allow them
selves to be captured when the United
States troops attack Tarlac, because
they are tired Of retreating. The World
correspondent has the names of these
discontented Filipino officers, but to
publish them would betray them to the
vengeance Of Aguinaldo."

ANOTHER CHANCE.

Otis to Be Allowed to Show What He
Can Do With q Larger Army.
CHICAGO. Sept: IA special to The
Record from Washington says: The
friends Of General Otis are becoming
hopeful that they will succeed in hav-
ing him retained in his present COM
mand. Last week they were deeply
discouraged and one high official Of the
war department openly admitted that
he believed popular clamor" would re-
suit in his friends recall and the assign
ment Of General Miles or General Mer-
ritt to Manila. z,,s.-.sa f.
The prediction is now being conf
IDENTIFY made by General OTIS admirers
that he will be permitted to demon
strate what he can do with q large
army before being censured for hts fall
Qre to make more progress during the
last campaign.
II is impossible owing to the conflict
ing interests at work to state positively
how the contest for supremacy will
terminate. General Miles friends are
as confident as are those of General
Otis, but the drift Of feeling now seems
to have turned In favor Of the latter.
Plans have been adopted at the depart
ment, however, under which General
Lawton and General Macarthur are
each to be given irresponsible command
Of several divisions, and they will be-
gin operations just as soon as the rainy
season Is considered at an end. The
cavalry will be under command Of
General Lawton, while General Mac
Arthur's command will be composed
principally Of infantry. One command
will operate to the north, while the
other will probably cover the south.

A Land of Many Thirsts.

The Egyptian never travels without
his goolah. He fills it with filtered
water and in the morning can com
mand pint or more Of water cooled
by evaporation through the unglazed
clay. This precious fluid he does not
waste on unsatisfied thirst. Taking of
the long white wrap and the piece Of
cloth that covers his head during sleep,
the native pours the water over his
head, neck and hands. The European,
with all his instinct for cleanliness,
seeks first to relieve his overmastering
thirst.
There are in Egypt as many thirsts
as plaques, but the dust thirst is the
worst. Every pore is sealed; the throat
is a lump of dry clay, and one feels
what it must be to be a mummy.-Lon-

Cornelius Vanderbilt was the eldest
son of the late w. III. Vanderbilt and
was born on Staten Island, Nov. 81.

William II. Vanderbilt, his father,
was at that time farmer, and Corne-
Illus, at the age of 16, left school, and
secured place as messenger in the
Shoe and Leather bank. His grand
father, the commodore, learning Of this,
sent for him and asked why he had not
epplied TO him for place. -
Because did not want to ask you
for anything" was the reply.
This pleased the commodore, and it is
said that he made a codicil to his will
few 9days4later, leaving s., 900, 900 to
his grandson.
Cornelius left the Shoe and Leather
bank to go into the employ of Kissam
Bros, bankers, but later his grand.
father asked him to- enter the railroad
service. The young man was making
$50 a month and declined to leave his
ho< I1o

then about 81 years old. The first place
he was given was that of assistant
treasurer of the New York and Harlem
road. His rise was rapid and he sue.
ceeded his father as head of the Van
derbilt system. "
Mr.. Vanderbilt's active career was
practically closed when he suffered a
paralytic stroke in 1896. Despite his
enormous business interests, he found
time to devote to church and Sunday
school work, which he began early in
life. He gave freely to the railroad
branch Of the Y. M. G. A. and to the
work of st. Bartholomew's church
in this city.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's great business cares
made his life necessarily methodical
and he was noted for his punctuality.
Mr Vanderbilt went to Europe last
spring, and came home on June "a, ac.
companied by Mrs. Vanderbilt and his
daughter, Gladys.
They went to Newport the same day
and Mr.. Vanderbilt improved con.
stantly in health. On Aug. 5, he gave

ers The last social affairs in The
Breakers were upon the departure Of
Alfred Vanderbilt for 'round-the
world trip. He left for Seattle on July
26, accompanied by William Proudft
Burden Ernest Iselin and Douglas II
Cochran.
Mr. Vanderbilt left five children
Eorneliak, Gertrude, Alfred, Reginald
and Gladys. Cornelius married &
daughter of r. T. Wilson, the banker
about two years ago, and later Gertrude
became the wife Of Harry Payne Whit
