GEN. OTIS, BROTHER TALKS.
War i'm the Philippines Compared 10 an
Indian Campaign.

Vincennes, Ind. Nov. 20.-Mr. ]. S. Otis.
brother of Gen. Otis, the present military
governor and director of military opera
tions of the Philippines, is in this city,
When asked for his opinion as to when
the war in the Orient would be brought
to close, he said:
Il believe that January, or at least
February, l. 1900, will see the end of the
Philippine campaign. BY that time Agui-
naldo Will either be run to death or into
the sea. The fight is simply an Indian
campaign, except in ferceness. Gems
Wheaton and Lawton are fine command
ers. and / am glad that the discretionary
orders, until now withheld, TO turn over
the direction of the field operations and
resultant responsibility from their head
quarters to Gems. Lawton and Wheaton
is completed. This will relieve brother
Elwell of a great burden, and will GER
tainly be effective. l am glad to learn
that Gen. Funston is to return to the
battlefield. He is simply another Custer
in appearance and action. and possesses
the strength of youth and a vim that will
carry all before it. Gen. Wheeler is a
great fighter, but is about seventy years
old. l believe he is reserved until the
water leaves the rice paddles, when he
will be allowed to charge the enemy re-
lentlesSly.
"Our greatest disadvantage now is that
We have not enough troops over there to
garrison the towns as they are taken,
which is absolutely necessary, since We
are required to treat all peaceably-ap-
pearing FilipinOs as 'friendlies.' When
the 5000 troops on the ocean reach the
islands, it will enable US to garrison the
towns captured, and the Filipino insur-
rection will soon be a thing Of the past"
Mr.. Otis received a letter from his
brother, Gen. Otis while here, but he re
fused 10 diVulge its contents.
