as to the best method of dealing with the

garded as perhaps a misfortune that this

ment.
1t appears that the War Department
is inclined to support General Otis, not
only because of his connection with the

longer experience with the insurgents
better fits him to understand the native
character. However. the President is
giving the matter his close attention,
