DON'T LIKE OTIS.

Every man and officer in the camp has
an unpleasant recollection of the manner
in which Gen. Otis has treated the vol.
unteers in this campaign. OF course it is
impossible to publish the names of the
persons who have expressed their opin.
ions All have been warned that it is
not within the province of a soldier to
question or even discuss the acts of an
officer in command of the campaign, but
the time is not far distant when each man
will have his say. As soon as the regi-
ment is mustered out these. boys who
fought, not for pay, but for the honor of
our country, will unfold q, tale that ought
to startle this administration out of it's
present somnolent condition. I have in
terviewed nearly every member OF the
Thirteenth, and their replies to the ques-
ton, 'What do you think of Gen. Otis?'
are so similar that if [ were to send them
to you you would imagine they were all
uttered by one man.
One officer, a man of brains and INTEL
Hgence, a man who is we'll known in COM
mercial circles at St. Paul, gave me the
following account of how things are be-
i0r managed out in the Philippines He
said:
Gen Otis is man of wonderful bust
ness ability, but he is not a soldier. I
should think he would make an excellent
bank president; in fact, he is a man who
would make a success anywhere save in
the army. If you will agree to keep my
name cut Of this affair [ will tell you
sonnet hing. The general is out there for
just what there is in 1t, I mean in a finan-
cial way. OF course you can't quite see
how he can make a great deal out of MS
position without actually STOPPING to dis
honesty. Well, you are wrong, for there
arc many other opportunities. For 10
stance, one of the principal articles of
export from the islands is hemp, and it
is absolutely necessary that the world
of commerce have it's supply of Manila
hemp Gen. Otis is in supreme command.
| remains with him to say what shall
and what shall not be shipped, and for 4
number Of months there was no hemp
shipped from the islands. What was the
consequence? Hemp went up probably
100 per cent in price Suddenly, one firm
was given permission to ship so many
cargoes of that necessary commodity, and
it was not an American firm, either, SO
he could not have been Influenced by pa

GRATEFULLY THIRTEENTH.

San Francisco has certainly been most
generous in her welcome to the Minnesota
boys, and it is a pleasure to inform the
good people Of the old state that the brave
fellows have shown the proper spirit of
gratitude. 1 do not mean by this that
they have gone about shouting their
praises from the housetops; on the con-
trary, they have shown themselves to
be the most quiet, unass9ming lot of
fellows who ever entered the Golden
Gate homeWard bound from the Philip
pines. l hear remarks made on the
streets every day regarding the behavior
of the men. Ali are of the2same opinion
and all hesitate not to express them
selves in the same terms. as follows:
OF all the troops who have landed here
from the islands the Thirteenth Mime
sofa is made up of the best behaved,
| most gentlemanly and soldierly-looking
officers and men. ~
Now, this has not been the case with
all the returning volunteers by any
means. Some of them have been a little
more boisterous than the joy of home
coming seemed to justify. The local
papers have not been obliged to record
| one little instance of bad behavior since
| the regiment arrived. But one little mis-
! fortune has occurred to mar the joy of
| all concerned in this delightful recep-
| ton, and chat was-1 stipulate was, for
