Indiana Statesman Just Back
From a Trip Through the
Philippines.
Absolutely Refuses to Express
an Opinion Of Present
Conditions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A special dis
patch to The Tribune from Victoria, b.
c., says: Commander st. John of the
British cruiser Peacock, who has ar
rived here from Manila en- route home,
declares that General Otis is utterly
ignorant of the necessities or responds
bilities Of campaign in the tropics.
He has 5000 dead to his account, the
British officer declares, and his hesita-
tion has already shown his forces that
he has no grasp on the situation.
Otis field transport service is declared
to be wretchedly insufficient, his hos
pital corps farce, and his plan Of cam
paign calculated to advance the enc.
my's interest as no other could. A seri-
GUS breach is declared to exist between
the United States army and navy at the
front and Commander St. John says the
first thing the United States govern
ment should do is to recall this man. 1t
is really pitiful to see the sacrifice OF
the splendid men of his army.
Incidentally Commander st. John
says that the press censorship is carried
to the extreme in Manila to save Otis
from being swept down in food OF
popular indignation.

forced into the upper stories of the

pletely surrounded and soldiers stood
guard and carried on patrol duty in two
feet of running water. Hundreds Of

streets.
Admiral Watson had narrow escape
on the Pasig. His launch was about to

jammed it broadside into stone pier,
breaking the funnel and tearing off the

years created such havoc among the
Filipinos has made its appearance in
