HARRISON G. OTIS
Expresses His Opinion on
Consul Wildman.
Shou be SUPP anted BY Man Win
Seme Krow edge Of Of
fila P.orriefy.

According to Maj. Zialcita. COM |
mander of Aguinaldo's cavalry, as
quoted in an interview had with the
Filipino officer at San Isidro on May
8. the chief basis OF the trouble be-
tween the natives of the Philippines
and our troops was the officiousness of
Consul Wildman at Hongkong in max
ing promises to the F'ilipinos which he
had no more authority from the gov
eminent to make than he had to order
Admiral Dewey to sail with his fleet
of fighting machines in search of the
north pole. This is. a view OF the case
that the Times has taken on divers oc-
casions and its confirmation from
Filipino source was scarcely necessary
when one stops to consider the caliber
anu capacity OF the late editor OF the
.Warmedoverland Monthly" who Is
acting as our consular misrepresenta-
tive at the port of Hongkong.
It was foreseen that the appointment
of this fellow wildman was n deplora-
BILE mistake wnen IL was made-an ap-
pointment brought about by the free
silver senator from Nevada, more gen.
orally known as the wild goat of the
Sagebrush William NJ. Stewart, who
lis some sort of kin to the Wildman per-
son, and his (wildman's) action in
''monkeying" with the situation res
pecting Aguina.do conclusively con-
firms what was anticipated might occur
when this fledgling OF a diplomat was
sent abroad to fill a most important
lccnsulship at a most important juno
jure.
OF course this fellow Wildman had
no right whatever to make promises
expressed or implied, TO the Filipinos
through Aguinaldo. or to do any Other
thing except to attend to the routine
business Of his office. His foolish ant
impudent interference in an affair de
handing the tact and discretion o
trained diplomats has not only caused
embarrassment, no end. to this coun
try, but has cost the nation hundreds o
precious lives and untold millions q
money.
1t would certainly seem as IL the tim
had arrived for n searching investiga
