Defending Gen. otis.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The war de-
partment has issued a statement quot
Ing certain dispatches from Gen Otis
In answer to the press correspondents

substance that the CORRESPONDENTS wish
to send statements that imperil opera,
tons; that they had no specifications to
support their charges. against him, and
that these charges We're untrue. He
denies that he minimizes the work of the
navy, and quotes from naval dispatches
to justify his statement The test of
the statement is as follows:
Gen; Otis in dispatch under date of
July 10th says that the press CORE
spondents demanded permission to ca
BILE that official reports sent misrepre,
scented conditions. This was denied.
They then demanded the privilege TO
send without reservation facts found
by them and their opinion This was
granted, if public interests were not i'm
perllled The answer was not satisfac-
tory, and they therefore sent by NAH
to Hong Kong. Gen. Otis saws he Is
not conscious of sending misrepresenta
tons, but thinks that his dispatches at
times have been too conservative The
press affair appeared to be a threat
When correspondents were asked to be
Informed wherein Gen. Otis dispatches
were misleading, they offered nothing tan
gible except that his conclusions were
unwarranted. When told that thew
were disregarding military authority il
was apparent that they courted mar
tSIuoIit, Wnlcn II was unW1Se to give
them.
"In a later message Gen. Otis savs
that the charges made by the press cor
respondents are untrue. He adds that
the most harmonious relations exist be.
tween the army and the navy. He gives
the following extract from a letter lust
received from leading Filipino at Tar

AS Gearing upon the statement that

passed through his body. He was stun

chance his foot caught between a tele-
graph wire and the cross bar on which

his weight and saved his life.

was able to descend the ladder. His
