A Startling Statement by Staff
Correspondents.
A STRONG CRITICISM OF Otis
n Is Charged That Official Reports
Have r1ISrepreSenfed the SIfua-
tlOn as TO American Accomplish
menfS In the Philippines, and the
Temper and Character of the
FiIipInOS.

Manila, July 1.-THE constantly in
creasing strictness of the censorship
of the press dispatches from Manila
which prevented the cabling to the
United States of anything that did not
reflect the official views of important
events and conditions has resulted in a
united effort on the part of the corre-
spondents here to secure an abate-
ment of the rigor of censorship.
The initiative in this direction was
taken month ago and resulted in
the framing of a statement which was
presented on Sunday, July 9, to Major
General Otis. commanding the mill
tary forces OF the United States in the
Philippines, with the request for per-
mission TO telegraph it to the United
States.
General Otis finally promised great
er liberty, agreeing to pass all matter
that he might consider not detrimental
to the interests of the United States.
and appointed Captain Green of his
correspondents is as follows:
'The undersigned, being all staff
correspondents of American newspa-
pers stationed in Manila, unite in the
following statement: We believe
from official dispatches made public in
Washington that the people of the
United States have not received a cor
rect impression of the situation in the
philippines, but that these dispatches
nave presented an ultra-cptimistics
View that is not shared by Che general
officers in the field. We believe that
the dispatches incorrectly represent
existing conditions among the Fill
plnos IN respect 10 dissension and de-
resulting from the Amer
lean campaign and to the brigand
character of their army We believe
the dispatches err in the declaration
that the situation is well in hand"
and in the assumption that the snsur-
rection can be speedily ended without
a greatly increased force. We think
the tenacity of the Filipino purpose
has been under estimated, and the
statements unfounded that the Volun-
teers are willing to engage in further
service. The censorship compelled US
to participate in this misrepresenta-
ton by exercising or altering uneon-
troverted statements of facts on the
plea, as General Otis stated, that they
would alarm the people at home

Address OF Welcome by The
nsyor of Chicago.

Chicago, July 17.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison today sent the following let
Ter to the committee in charge Of the
arrangements for a democratic meet
ing at the Auditorium on July 20:
ssW. F. Collins. Esq, Chairman
Committee of Arrangements: Dear
Sir:-Replying to your favor of the
14th inst. in which you ask me to de-
liver an address CT welcome at the
Auditorium on July 90 10 the national
democratic committee and a large
number of the democrats of America,
I regret my inability to accept.
''In ordinary circumstances I should
be only too glad. both as mayor of Chi
cago and as a democrat. to welcome
the national committee or any num-
ber of democrats to Chicago, the city
in which the platform Of 1896 was
framed and in which ". J. Bryan was
elevated to his present leadership OF
the national democracy. 1 cannot but
think, however, it would be an alb
surd:ty to welcome these distinguished
men under the auspices of a self
constituted committee whose person
mel is too obscure 10 be known even in
their home city.
Had this meeting been organized
under the direction of democrats of
the regular type and known standing,
it would have afforded me great pleas
ure to be present. In the existing
circumstances, while thanking you for
the honor, must beg leave 20 be ex-
cused.

Will the trusts be an issue in the
campaign of 1902" continued Mr..
Payne. The question of trusts Is a
hard one to solve. Ny idea is that the
trusts will cure themselves. the good
ones surviving. the bad ones going TO
The wall. 1t seems TO me that The crisis
was reached in the Anaconda copper
combine. Since then it has been in
creasingly difficult TO float ;he stocks
and bonds of these enterprises.
In the next five years many of the
trusts now organized will go to the
wall. They We're organized on an IN
sound basis, issuing securities far be-
yond their real value. The purchasers
of the bonds and stocks will suffer
severely. and these losses viii occa-
sion sharp public comment. But it Is
by experience that people learn in
making investments, and they are not

No one has come forward to offer a
solution of the trust problem. Per
sonally, L do not see how rhey can be

that they may be regulated wisely nv

AS to what figure the trusts VIII
