HAS OTIS APPEALED9
Reported That He Has Asked the
President for More Men.

President for More Men.
NEW YORK. June 25.-A dispatch to
the World from Adams, Mass, says:
A long cipher message from Gen. Otis,
sent to Washington and thence relayed
to Adams without the usual official edit
ing, has caused President Mckinley
many uneasy moments in the last forty
eight hours.
All that Otis told the president is not
known positively, but this statement may
be accurately made: Otis plainly init
mated his inability to conquer the Fill
ipinos with the present fighting strength
at his command. Furthermore, it IS
said, he gave the impression he would
be forced to abandon the ground already
taken unless reinforcements were quick
ly sent.
From the beginning of the Philippine
war Otis has been an optimist. He has
made official Washington believe he
could crush the rebellion with his pres
ent strength. and, instead of reporting
the true situation, he has made his
daily dispatches conform to the picture
as he saw it through his colored glasses.
Now, however, that Gen. Otis is no
longer able to successfully distort the
facts, the true state of affairs is coming
to light, and he is forced to tell things
which he might like to hide.
1t is possible that Gen. Otis soon may
be relieved of his command
Whether President Mckinley will ask
for more troops Immediately upon his
return to Washington next week or wait
until August or September has not been
fully determined
Today the president Is inclined to defer
the inevitable appeal for reinforcements
until six or eight weeks hence. The sea-
son of ineessant rainfall is now on H.
Luzon. He believes It would be impos-
sible to make any Roadway against the
acclimated insurgents at this period of
the wear

among whom. by the way. IS the great
war minister, Gen. Alger-of the sur
passing richness Of the island. Yet In
cipient milttarism is already sufficiently
powerful to overturn all accepted under
standing of business transactions and
to set I'D an order which Is capable OF
being made at once an engine of dis
honest profit, robbery and extortion.
On such a basis as this 1t will not take
a very long time to convince the people
Of Porto Rico that they were altogether
premature In their expressions of unre-
strained Joy over the establishment or
American control.

CLEANED BY A GIRL.

In village not far from St Paul lives
an old man who is the very prince of
opt1mlsts. He is possessed of a broad
charity, which thinks and speaks no evil.
Especially is this manifest when he talks
OF the dead, for with him the good that
men do lives after them, and the evil Is
inferred with their bones
He grew to be a feature at funerals
and people with sharp tongues and mean
er minds came to expect that he would
extol the virtues of the dead in even
more glowing terms of praise than did
the clergyman or the weekly paper.
one day it came to pass that the
Scrooge Of the town died one whose
cringing ways and disreputable charac-
ter could not be wholly cIoaked by char
1ty, nor covered with the flowers which
many people receive only after death
He had funeral, of course, though
poor enough one in its way. There were
no 'chief mourners," for he had no near
relatives.
Yet, he was dead. and that gave him a
distinction and a consideration which
nothing In his life could have won for
him
The minister halted through his ser
men. mostly after the horrible example"
kind, which he hurled at the heads of the
well meaning men who sat stiff1y in the
hard pews.
The choir sang few mournful hymns
in a listless fashion. and the services
were over.
No; not quite over either-they could
not be complete until the procession of
people had marched about the coffin. to
view, with morbid curiosity the ere
mains of the deceased"
The optimist was there with the rest.
and many were their silent conjectures
as to what good he could find to speak
0f -, +, mt
about him as he passed the bier and as
he gazed musingly at the features, con-
tracted and sinister even in death, he
mEttered aloud:
well, he had good teeth!'
There is a we'll known" knight of the
road in this city, rejoicing in the sug-
gestiye name of Darling. He is now
travelling in the Dakotas but formerly
drummed up trade for his firm in the
towns along the Duluth & St Paul rail-
road. In one of these villages the as
sistant at the Dostoffice was a girl, the
niece of the postmaster, pretty, young
and saucy. She had grown somewhat
tired of the jokes of travelling men,
who demurely inquired, when disappoint-
ed in receiving letters. If she would d.
rect them to another Dostoffice in town.
If they could purchase postage stamps of
her. and If she would give them thirteen
two-cent stamps for cent and a quarter
with a hundred other jokes, better and
worse, which the drummer is fond of
springing.
She went to the delivery window one
day when she heard approaching foot
steps. Mr.. Darling was there in quest
of mail. He smiled. and said, simply:
''Darling!"
An angry flush and an indignant snap
of the eyes was the only response he re-
ceived from the fair assistant. who start
ed to retreat, when her misoonstruction
of his laconic request burst upon him,
and he satisfactorily explained that he
had not intended to confer his name upon
her. Beth.

THE wOOD-THRUsH AT EVE.

At the woodbridge, what time the sun
sank low,
We fingered speeches., being loath to
leave
The cool. the calm. the quiet touch of
And all the glamor of the afterglow.
We watched the purple shadows length
en- slow,
Saw the swift swallows through the
clear air cleaVe,
And the bats begin their maynard flight
to weave,
Then rose reluctantly. and turned to go.
But, ere we won beyond the warder trees,
From out the dim deep copse that hid
the swale
Welled of a sudden flute-like harmonies
Flooding the twilight scale on siivery
scale,
AS though we heard. far Ger the sunder-
Ing seas, $3.50 90
