OTIS WILL CRUSH

His Plan Of Operation
About Completed.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-It Ii
understood here that Otis has 80 fal
matured his plans Of campaign thai
within q week or ten days he will be
able to begin q movement which is ex'
pected to mark the destruction OF
Aguinaldo's army. Alth ough strag-
glers and fugitives may infest the
islands of Luzoo for some time, 1t Is
believed that before Otis has delivered
his next blow, the insurgent army as
al organization will have ceased to
exist.
The new movement,it is understood,
will be by land and water, although it
il not expected the navy's part in the
programe will be particularly promi-
nent. Otis has procured 80 Of the
gunboats formerly owned by the
Spanish government, and these are to
play an important part in the develop
ment of the campaign.
Many of the troops which have been
engaged on the outer lines up to the
date of General Lawton's arrival at
Manila haye been withdrawn to the
water front, and complete reorganiza.
tion is in progress.

Aguinaldo Will Defend His Capital with
Firm Resistance.
NEW YORK. March PA dispatch
to the. World from Manila says: The
rebels sreheavily massed in the trench
es opposite our lines on the north.
This evidently comes from belief on
the part of Aguinaldo that blow is to
be struck very soon at Malolos, their
capital.
Prisoners who have been brought in
within the last "a hours say that the
rebels have the ''last-ditch" feeling,
and. will make the most decisive stand
they have yet taken. >,
The second line of defense occupied
by the rebel forces ,is between San
Mateo and Mannaliches. There are
rows of trenches there, and the ad.
vance OF our troops can only be step

ed at every trench.

tains, instead of being corralled and
crushed. An army officer said that
the present war In the Philippines
might have been averted had the ad-
vice of a soldier been taken by the war
department.. General Otis more than
six months ago wanted 10000 or So
600 troops in the Philippines, but his
request was not acceded to. Had regi-
ment after regiment, says the officer,
marched into Manila, surrounded the
camps of Aguinaldo, and made a dis
play of force, the Filipinos would
never have engaged in war.
A great deal of satisfaction lie felt
everywhere that General Otis has q

of Grass Valley, where he accumulated
a competency, determined to retire
from business aud started on tour OF
the United States in search of a place
to build upa home where he could
spend the remainder of his days in
ease and comfort.
He left here on July 14th sof last
year. and vent to St. Paul, visiting his
old home and the birthplace of his
children, then proceeded to Milwaukee
and across the lake. into Michigan
where he visited a brother whom he
had not seen for 46 years. From there
the doctor sailed down the lakes to
Buffalo, visited Cleveland. then took q
sail on Lake Ontario, crossed cyeripto
Canada, and next spent time at Nj
agra Falls. He continued his journey
through fourteen states, visiting all
the principal cities, but returned TO
Grass Valley in October without find-,
ing an ideal place for home.
Again in December he started on q
tour of inspection, believing Soutaern
California would prove attractive.
However after visiting the big orange
belt In Riverside county, where there
are $1,000 acres of orange trees and
apparently everything to MAKE lie
pleasant, he had still not found hfs
ideal. Re5urning as far as San Fran
cisco he was taken with Ia grippe,
being confined to his room for five
weeks. This dispelled all charms Cal
ifornia had for him, and he took the
train for Portland. Arriving there he
was convinced the metropolis of Ore
gon was the place he had been search-
ing, for and at once purchased prop
srty in Sunnyside where he will erect
IN elegant home, and with hisson
will locate permanently.
DIR. Rollins came up from Portland
asst evening, and cannot say too much
n praise of Oregon, its climate. its re-
ources and its possibilities. He says
t is the best state in the Union, and
le is perfectly content to never leave

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Sec
retary of the treasury has issued an
order for the free admission OF binding
twine to the United States from Can

the new Canadian tariff puts binding
twine on the free list when imported
into that country, and our tariff law
only imposes a duty on the twine when
imported from countries which make
the article dutiable.
