Posltlon of Gen. Otis

New York, June 26.-The Worlds
Adams, Mass, special says:
A long cipher message from General
Otis, sent to Washington and thence re-
layed to Adams without the usual official
editing, has caused President Mckinley
many uneasy moments All that Otis told
the president is not known, but the cor
respondent is enabled to make this state.
ment:
Otis plainly intimated his inability to
conquer the Filipinos with the present
fighting strength at his command. Fur
themOre, it is said, he gave the impress
sion he would be forced to abandon
ground already taken unless reinforce
ments We're quickly sent
From the very beginning of the Philip
pine war Otis has been an optimist He
has made official Washington believe he
could crush the rebellion with his present
strength, and instead of reporting the true
situation, he has made his daily dis
patches conform to the picture as he saw
it through his colored glasses. Now, how
ever, that Otis is no longer able to sue
cessfully distort facts, the true state of
affairs is coming to light and he is forced
to tell things which he might like to hide.
1t is possible that General Otis soon NAV
be relieved of his command.
