OTIS CAMPAIGN,
He is Expected to Complete the Work
Before Rainy Season.

Washington, April 4.-War department
officials look upon the approach of the wet
season in the Philippines as likely to be an
important, if not decisive factor in determ-
lining the character of the military move
ments during the next six months.
This period of rains and storms is no new
and untried danger, for the United States
troops were in the trenches around Manila
through much of the worst part of the wet
season last summer.
Major Simpson, chief of the bureau of
military information, was then on the staff
of General Green, and learned from expert
ence how far this wet season effected the
health and comfort of the men and re-
tarded military operations. Generally
speaking" he says, linen were up to their
knees in mud and water during July and
August when our trenches were drawn
around Manila. But while this was a great
personal inconvenience, it did not cause
any material increase in the sick rate.
About the worst feature was that the
stretches of quagmire made it next to i'm
possible to execute military improvements
on a large SCALE
The wet season does not begin rule
until June, so that it is about two months
before it's effects will be seriously felt.
The present month (ApriD and May gen.
orally come under the head of the hot sea-
son, which just precedes the drenching
rains beginning in June. The hottest
weather is in May, although it never goes
above 100 degrees. Gradually this merges
into the heavy rains and violent storms
of June, the wet lasting for six months.
The season does not come in abruptly, but
is a gradual transition, until everything is
in condition of soak.
Last summer the first expedition of
United States troops landed about July l,
and by that time the wet season was well
under way The men were sent into the
trenches for twenty-four hours and then
relieved. In this way two regiments would
be moved up every morning, and for that
day and night would stand in the knee-deep
rain and mud. But 1t would have been
difficult, if not impossible, to have kept
troops exposed to such conditions for any
extended time.
The Astor Battery was one of the bodies
serving during part of the rainy season.
Captain March, one of the officers of the
battery, was here recently, and i'll speak
ing of the sick rate during the wet season
said it was kept down to per cent. This
is considered very low even under favora-
BILE circumstances, and Is taken to offset
some reports to the effect of the wet sea-
son. This low rate is in part attributed
to the strict sanitation enjoined upon the
American forces. Malaria and typhoid
abounds; that our troops were made
to drink boiled water. Major Simpson says
that at no time did the malaria or typhoid
assume an epidemic FORM
1t is the general belief that General Otis
will complete his present campaign before
the wet season opens and confine his efforts
after that to holding the ground already
won, keeping up communication, protecting
his TANKS and waiting for the dry season
to give him another period of operations.

No Report from OTIS

Washington, April 4.-No disappointment
was expressed at the war department today
because General Otis had made no report.
1t was taken to mean that conditions were
progressing we'll. and that the conditions
indicated In yesterdays dispatches con-
tinued. War department officials are fully
convinced that the backbone of the insur-
rection is broken, and that while there may
be raids from time to time by bands of
marauders, the main body of troops will
surrender.
1t is said that when the Filipinos who
surrender find that they are well treated
and fed, that the wounded are cared for,
and food is sent to the suffering, there will
be less inclination to continue hostilities.
Those who are SO treated and sent to their
homes, 1t is believed, will be missionaries

States

OYSTER SHELL ROADS.
Inferior In Many Ways to Highways
Built of Stone.


While it is conceded by those who
have knowledge of roads constructed of
oyster shells that they are better than
the common dirt roads they also have
their disadvantages and are far from
ideal. A correspondent of The l.. A.
w. Bulletin makes the following state
ment:
"These roads become so excessively
dusty i'll dry weather that they are
practically unfit to travel over. This
fault can be overcome by the liberal use
Of the street sprinkler, but it is not al
ways possible to press the sprinkler into
service. Just outside the city of Will
mingtOn, Del, there is causeway over
some marshy land which is built almost
entirely of oyster shells. l have driven
over this causeway when the dust was
fully three inches thick, and being so
light and of such fine PARTICLES clouds
of it would rise after each passing team.
AT times it would be impossible to see
"a team ten yards ahead. 1t may readily
be imagined that this was not pleasant
going and l would have very much pre-
ferred the common dirt road While l
believe that the oyster shell road is in
the main superior to the ordinary dirt
road, yet there are few practical road
makers who will not cOncede that it is
inferior in every way to Il road built of
the commonest grade Of stone.

md are blown away in the first dry
spell, Experience shows that until u
road needs three-quarter inch stone it
needs nothing. With this size stone as
basis, little binder and screenings,
