OTIS SEVERELY cENsuRED.

a british Naval Commander Declares
Him Utterly Incompetent
CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-A special dispatch
to The Tribune from Victoria, B. g.,
says: Commander st. John Of the Brit
ish cruiser Peacock. who arrived here
from Manila by yesterdays Empress,
enroute home, declares that General
Otis is utterly ignorant Of the necessities
or responsibilities Of campaign in the
tropics. He has 5000 dead to his &C
count, the British officer declares, and
his hesitation has already shown his
forces that he has no grasp ON the situa-
Gon.
Otis field transport service is declared
to be wretchedly insufficient and his
hospital corps farce, and his plan Of
campaign calculated to advance the enc
my's interests. A serious breech is de-
clared to exist between the United
States army and navy at the front, and
Commander St. John says the First
thing that the United States government
should do is to recall this man. 1t is
really pitiful to see the sacrifice Of the
splendid men of his army"
Incidentally Commander st. John says
that the press censorship Is carried to
the extreme in Manila to save Otis from
being swept down in q food of popular
indignation.

rains have turned the city, wet enough
at the best of times, into an immense
pond, with cutters over foot deep in
water. Sampaloc district was COM

forced into the upper stories of the

pletely surrounded and soldiers stood
guard and carried on patrol duty in two
feet of running water. Hundreds of
creeks that intersect the city overfowed
their banks, and boats were seen on q
dozen streets.

because American silver is not received
at the custom house, nor is American
gold or bank notes The existing GUS
tom house regulations require that all
customs shall be paid in Philippine
currency. This leaves no option for Of
fcials, because as long as there is a
change or fuctuation in the relative
values Of gold and silver any official
who accepts payment in any unauthor-
lied currency is liable to be called upon
to pay the difference out of his own
pocket. The postoffice, on the other
hand, will not accept currency which is
compulsory at the custom house unless
the stamp buyer is willing to be penal
lied heavily.

God bless the loving little ones,

And give you deeper tenderness
Than you before have known
The years are bearing them away
With sure and rapid flight:
o, clasp the darlings to cur heart,
And kiss them all tonight.
Perhaps the days are sometimes hsre;
Perhaps you sometimes scold,
With lips you may forget to guard,
mid trials manifold
Is there quivering lip, a tear2
Then haste to make it right,
Nor sleep without fond cartss
And loving Kiss, tonight.
Let not the growing girls and boys
Drift from your heart away,
But win and hold their confidence,
Lest they should go astray.

To help the young Alright;

Just as good as he could be. He enjoys

He crows and shouts and claps his

would be throwing kisses and smiling
at him. Well. right next to me sat two
sour, yellow-faced old maids in bicycle
costume. with black felt hats. They
kept looking at Fritz and frowning,
and whenever he laughed or crowed
they'd 'sh'd' at him like geese. After
the theater when we were going out
