Otis May Be Recalled.

New York, Sept. 26---A special to the
, Times from Washington says: coinci-
dent with the near approach of Admiral
Dewey, the rumors about General Otis
recall have been revived. 1t is a gem
eral report that his recall has actually
been decided upon. There has been a
rumor lately that General Brooke was to
leave Cuba shortly and as it is now said
That major general is to be sent to the
Philippines. there is some disposition to
regard that rs General Brookes future
berth. The basis for all this gossig
seems to be the report that Admiral
Dewey has poor opinion of General
Otis This report has lately been revived
and repeated in number of ways 1t
is generally believed that the admiral
will have much influence with the ad-
ministration and his views on the Phil
ippine policy will be anxiously sought,
strong impression prevails. That
when he gives his opinion it will not be
favorable to General Otis. There is to
be conference att he White house
shortly after his return at which the
president Will meet the admiral and the
Philippine commission and what is said
at that conference may result in some.

Will Soon Be Released.

New York. Sept. ga dispatch TO the
Herald from Manila says: The two Eng
lishmen, who assert that they were ship
wrecked in a small open boat near Rigua,
at The northern end of Luzon. bring a
message from the insurgent general PAN
teia that fourteen American prisoners
who are now held at Tarac will be re-
leased on Tuesday or Wednesday, The
delay in releasing the prisoners. as prom
ised several days ago, is due to the fact
that the FilininOs wish to furnish the
men With new clothing when they set
them free. The Englishmen state fur
ther that Lieut.. j. e. Gilmore and the
captured boats crew from the Yorktown
are still at Bigua, but will be released
later in accordance with the decision of
the Filipino congress and the subsequent
decree of Aguinaldo providing for the
surrender Of all American prisoners. The
admitted purpose of the Filipinos in thus
freeing the Americans is to impress for
eign powers. The Englishmen say that
Lieut.. Gilmore and his men are not be-
ing treated we'll. They are only receiving
twenty cents a day each for rations. The
released Eng!ishmen assert that three
Americans who We're taken prisoners
have accepted commissions in the insur-
gent army. One of the three is said to
have been a sergeant, but his regiment is
unknown: another is said TO have been a
corporal in the California regiment. While
the third is negro.

Some Of the crew of the Olympia, who
came ashore at Sandy Hook asked:

The crew spoke in highest terms of the
admiral and said he was very kind to

Dewey slpet restessly last night and

admiral to a reporter of the Associated
Press who Wen. aboard.

shall be his duty, when the most
suitable time comes to work the
roads, (say when the farmers laid
by their crops) to notify every
man living in his beat liable to do
road-work, that on a certain day
he is going to commence working
the roads. If they all turn out with
their men, teams, wagons and
plows, the work can all be done in
3 or a days. 1t shall be his d,lty

matter with them in friendly and

DIED.

News reached Lafayette on last
Thursday afternoon. announcing
the death at Jackson, La, of Abey
Demanadc, son of Mr.. Felix De-
manade, OF Lafayette.
The young man had left about
three weeks ago for Jackson, La,
to enter Centenary College
where he intended to pursue his
studies.
A week after his arrival he be-
came ill and his sickness soon
developed into typhoid fever.
His mother joined him on the
first news of his sickness and re-
!, manned with him Until the last.
His father was telegraphed for on
last Wednesday morning and left
on the noon train for Jackson.
The mortal remains OF Ably were
brought to Lafayette yesterday on
the afternoon train and the funeral
took place at the residence OF his
father at 4:3op. m.
The young man had promis-
ing life open before him. which BY
his indomitable energy and knowl-
edge would have been, no doubt,
la successful one; but He who
rules the destiny Of all mankind
called him up higher.
Though hard it may seem fof
father and mother who had CENTER
ed their affection upon him, yet to
Him whose will is supreme we
: must submissively bow.
Our tenderest sympathy is ex-
' tended to the sorrowful parents i'll
! their deep bereavement.
