VIEWS OF COLONEL CHILDERs.

HE THINKS GENERAL OTIS HAS HANDLED A DE-
FIcULT POSITION WELL.
San Francisco, Nov l2-Colonel Childers. Of the
Tennessee regiment, which arrived from the Philip
pines Saturday, said
l have very high regard for General Otis and
his ability soldier and a statesman. He has
held a most difficult position. and think he has
handled II well. OF course, he could have slashed
in and laid the islands waste with fire and sword.
but to do this without effort first TO show the
natives that the United States wished to give them
a fair. just and liberal government would have
forever prevented amcable relations, and IL would
have become question Of determination and re-
colonization The islands too far away for
such policy, If humanity and self interest
did not forbid.
In my opinion a force Of 1900 to 10000 men In
needed to promptly and successfully settle this
matter. This force has to be retained until those
who friendly and take the oath OF allegiance to
the United States strong enough to protect
themselves, otherwise the natives will come down
from the mountains. destroying the lives and prop
erty Of all who ''trailers" as they would call
them I think local affairs should, as far as pos

NILS from four to six miles distant The site of
the camp west OF the town was chosen by the
br'ush engineers. who apparently did not know
that the Beers could bring forward two big
Creusot siege guns and sixteen Krupp field
pieces fitted on field carriages The predictions
or the optimists will be more reassuring when

Nearly all the military writer's agree that the
most remarkable result of the British campaign
thus far is the practical cooperation OF the
navy with the army at Ladysmth, in Lower
Natal, and elsewhere for heavy artillery service

When Mr. Stevens left England he predicted
that it would be mail letter war" and that
the correspondents could do little by cable. The
large expenses incurred by the London morning
journals have not been justified by the meagre
dispatches which the censor has enabled them
to print. Steamers now arriving from the Cape
have detailed accounts Of the earliest battles.

hands, but the public will be forced to walt
many weeks before the mysteries connected with
Carleton's surrender and the siege Of Ladysmith
cleared up. and 1t will then be preoccuped
with other and more stirring scenes The
censorship, inadequate cable facilities and Boer
raiders have operated to deprive Bennett Bur
leigh and his colleagues of their ordinary occu
patton and the public has remained at the
mercy Of sensation mongers traflcking in the
fictions of mendacious native runners. There is
little likelihood, even If men Of fashion like
Winston Spencer Churchill the ground

censorship and allow messages to go through
freely The moral which every practical London
newspaper owner points to is the necessity for

military campaigns in the future for the benefit
