THE TWO IRATE GENERALS
HALE AND OTIS HAVE A WAR OF
WORDS.
Reasons why Bridagier General Hale
Desired to be Mustered out-Accused
Otis of Cowardice.

NEW YORK, August ia special
from Denver to the Times says. In a
letter received today from Henry Kerr,
orderly of General Hale, the latter is
reported to have been recalled from the
firing line during an engagement with
the Filipinos and ordered to report in
person to General Otis. General Hale
was in the act of winning a great vic
tory but he obeyed, Withdrew the bri-
gade from the fighting line, and rode to
General Otis headquarters. This is the
conversation that is said to have en-
sued.
General Hale, you shall not disobey
me while l am in command of this
army. l want you to explain why you
made that movement with your bril-
gade," said General Otis with venom
in his tone.
Il did not disobey any orders" re-
piled General Hale, "and well you know
1t. / came here to fight, and If that is
not your policy l want you to under
stand that it is mine. 1 saw an OPP
portunity to make a successful attack
today and tried to accomplish it, hut
you interfered and caused me to fail"
This matter will go to Washington"
said Otis, land you shall suffer for it,"
IF it does 1 shall prefer charges
against you for cowardice," Hale re-
torted.
How dare you suggest such a thing?
You are an inferior officer, and if you
don't retract | will place you under ar
rest" roared General Otis.
The war of words between the gem
erals was continued on these lines for
half an hour, it is said. General Hale
lad the better of the argument, and
General Otis finally gave up the job of
bulldozing, dropping the case entirely.
General Hale up to three months ago
intended to remain in the service and
was laying his plans to stay in the Phil
ippines. The friction between General
Otis and himself, however, caused him
to change his intention and he applied
to be mustered out.

COLORADO BOYS ARRIVE.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE
United States transport Warren arrived
from Manila, via Nagasaki and Yoko-
hama, last night with the Colorado vol
unteers and a number of discharged
men. The crew of firemen mutinied
just before the vessel sailed and all of
them were put in Jail. A volunteer crew
of discharged soldiers, many of them
Colorado boys, took their places, and
the result is the fastest trip from Yo-
kohama ever made by the Warren.

dinner AT the Argyle last night In honor OF captain
James Reynolds head OF the Detective Bureau ana
aftcrward gave the captain beautiful gold watch
suitably inscribed The gift WIS intended ~ a
souvenir OF the trying times OF the trolley car
strike In Brooklyn when the captain and his men
had a great deal OF hard work to do.
Detective Sergeant 'Thomas Donovan made the
pres alton speech lie said that the men OF the
Genital Office held their chief in high esteem and
that the work OF the last six weeks had brought
the men and the captain into closer relations than
ever. and that the gift would be perpetual re-
minder OF mutual esteem Captain Reynolds replied
with apprecatiye remarks. saying among other
things that II any souvenirs to be given. the
men ought to get them rather than the head OF the
staff as the had the hardest work TO 90.
He spoke Of the long nights when the detectives
silent on trolley car seats rode all night long on
the front seats OF cars. and put up with countless
hardships without a murmur He said that the
strike had brought the police of Manhattan ana
Brooklyn together and that excellent results would
follow The Brooklyn police had learned that their
brethren from Manhattan did not wear horns, and
the Manhattan coppers had seen for themselves
that their Brooklyn co-aborers did not go around
with hayseed in the backs OF their necks. The dinner
was enjoyed by all. Among the officers present

DIPLOMATIC QUESTION SETTLED.

Washington Aug. l2-The incident with Hayti
growing out Of the effort Of Du Vvier to seek
asylum in the American Legation there Is thought
to be closed. Instructions were sent Minister
Powell a week ago, and he has not been heard
from except to say that the instructions would be
carried out. While the nature of the instructions
has not been disclosed II is understood they con-
form 10 the well established usage Of the State De-
partment that the right of asylum is not TO be so
extended as TO make the United States Legation
refuge for those committing offences against the
local authorities While there is no purpose to re-
sent any Invasion of the rights OF the Legation,
vet II is felt that the circumstances In this case
are not likely to make 1t one requiring strict
enforcement of doctrine Of asylum.
