OPERATIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
General Otis Makes His Annual Re-
port to War Department

Washington, Nov. 14.-Copies of the
annual report of General Otis have been
received at the war department, but
the report will not be made public un-
til it has reached the consideration of
the president and secretary of war.
General Otis divides the report into
period, one covering the time from his
pines until Feb. 4, 1899, when, he says,
the rebellious subjects of Spain attack
ed the forces of the United States. who
were rightfully and legally in posses
sion of the city, bay, and harbor of
Manila. The second period treats of the
operations from the time of the Fill
pino attack upon the United States
forces up to the close of active opera
tons on account of the rainy season.
General Otis says that in order to
give a clear and comprehensive state
ment of the situation in both periods
he makes his report in narrative form
and begins with a review of the condi-
tionS existing under the protocol until
the attacks and then follows with
story of the operations of the army
since that time. General Otis makes his
narrative complete argument in favor
of the careful management of American
affairs so as to avoid a rupture with
the Filipinos and justifieS the action
of the Americans in all Steps following
the outbreak
Much of what he says has already
been published in the telegraphic re-
ports sent to the department and in
official reports received from officers
who participated in the engagements
Accompanying the report are the re-
ports of staff officers giving the details
of the different branches of the army
in the Philippines, the operations in the
fields, the departure of the state volun-
teers and the arrivals of the troops to
take their places and other informa-
ton of a technical character.

gence of any of the Charleston's Of
ficers, a courtmartial will follow the
inquiry, but in view of the exceedingly
dangerous character OF the north coast
of Luzon and the lack of necessary aids
to navigation, it is not believed TO be
probable that any of the officers viii
be found severely censurable.
The photographic Office of the navy
department gives the following data
concerning the locality of the wreck:
The Guinapak rocks lie seven miles
due east of the large island of Kani-
guin. one of the Babuiat group. off the
north coast of Luzon. The Gunapak
rocks are distinctly shown on the naval
chart which is supplied 10 vessels in
the Philippines. but the coral reef on
which the Charleston struck three miles
northwest of the rocks is not shown
on the chart. The dangerous condition
of this coast has been recently pointed
out by Rear Admiral Bradford. chief Of
the equipment bureau. In his report
to Secretary Long he said:
-The bureau is in receipt of great
number of photographic reports from
captains of ships concerning the entire
unreliability of the best existing charts
of the late Spanish possessions now
controlled by the United States. In the
Philippine islands the service of pilots
is constantly necessary for this reason,
and they do not always prove reliable.
The old Spanih maps continue TO be
used b. our naval vessels until the
navy department can make its own
charts. This work is very extensive
and necessarily slow. Only S100. GOO is
now available for the work in all of the
former Spanish possessions. The Ben
nington has been doing this work in
the Philippines. and has a complete hy-
geographic outfit on board. but ii viii

veys and data will be available.

Mrs. Logan, widow of Major Logan, is

line have given him place among the
heroic men of the war, and ii will be
some consolation TO you to know that
he died for his country on the field of
honor. You have in this trying hour
for yourself and the children the sin
cere sympathy of Mrs. Mckinley and
