SIT was an unusual courtesy on the
part of the emperor to give me an hour
Of his time as we'll as his personal at
tention. 1 was much impressed with
the scope of the kaiser's intellect. He
was desirous of informing himself on
the subjects in which Americans are
most Interested. L believe he is broad
minded. He has not the parrowness
that ill-informed persons attribute to
him. To me he seemed to be filed
with the purpose not only to be ruler,
but to advance the welfare and happi-
ness of his people,

H. 6. OTIS SEES M'KINLEY
DISCUSSES THE PHILIPPINES sITUA-
TION WITH THE PRESIDENT.
No Significance in the Conference, the
f.. s. Otis a Good Fighter

WASHINGTON, July 3.-President Nc
Kinley and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis. who
arrived here yesterday from the West. had
an extended conference to-day on affairs re-
lating particularly to the campaign in the
Philippines They are longtime personal
friends and the opportunity of discussing
questions of importance in which they are
mutually and deeply interested was enjoyed
by both. During the afternoon General Otis
took luncheon with the President. subse
quently went driving with him and this
evening, in company with Adjutant General
Corbin, dined with him al the White House.
Late tonight, when asked about his confer
ence with the President. General Otis re-
piled: Really there was nothing significant
or specially important about 1t. We dis
cussed pretty thoroughly the situation In
the Philippines and, in a reminiscent way,
talked of incidents in the war of thirty
years ago. in which we both had a part.
Beyond that there is little TO be said. L may
say that the President is quite satisfied
with affairs in the Philippines as they are
being conducted by Major General Otis. He
has implicit confidence in Major General Otis,
and that confidence is not misplaced Gen.
Otis, who. by the way. is not relative of
mine. is, in all respects. an admirable and
efficient officer. He combines all the excel
lent qualities of the lawyer, the diplomat
and the soldier, and have not a doubt that
he will prosecute the Philippines war to a
successful conclusion.
The President is fully determined con-
tinued General Otis. Ito put down the insur-
rection in those islands. His mind is made
up on that point. Arrangements have been
perfected to furnish Major General Otis with
all the men he may need to bring the re-
bellion to a successful issue. The volunteers
who have distinguished themselves as sol
diers have seldom done, are being brought
home as rapidly as possible. They fought
brilliantly long after the contract for their
services had expired. and they fought will
ingly and without a single complaint as
noble men always fight
General Otis was asked whether his con-
ference with the President had any reference
to the rumors that he might take place in
the Cabinet.
L may say as to that" replied the general,
decisively. that not the faintest suggestion
has ever been made to. or by me. upon the
subject by the President There is abso-
lutely no foundation for the story"
General Otis will remain here several days
and then will go East before returning to his
Los Angeles home.
