The Drift Of Feeling seems to Have Turssd
In Favor Of His Commanding the
Army In the Philippines

WAsnISoroS, sept. 12.--The friends
Of Gen. Otis are becoming hopeful that
they will succeed in having him re-
tanned In his present command. Last
week they were deeply discouraged,
and one, a high official of the war de.
partmcnt, openly admitted that ne be-
licved popular clamor" would result
In his friends recall and the assign.
meut OF Gen. Miles or Gen. Merritt to
Manila
The prediction Is now being con a.
IDENTIFY made by Gen. Otis admirers
that he will be permitted to demon
strate what he can do with large
army before being censured for his fail
ure to make much progress during the
last campaign.
II il impossible, owing to the con-
fiicting interests at work, to state posi-.
lively how the contest for supre macy
will terminate. Gen. Miles friends
are rs confident as are those Of Gen.
Otis. but the drift Of feeling
now seems to have turned In favor
OF the latter. Plans have been adopt
cd mt the department, however, under
which Gen. Lawton and Gen. MacAr-
thur are each TO be given responsi.
BILE command OF several divisions. and
they will begin operations Just as soon
as the rainy season is considered at an
end. The cavalry will be under com.
mand of Gen. Lawton. while Gen. Mac
Arthurs command will bc COMPOSED
principally of infantry. One command
will operate to the north. while the
other will probably cover the south.
The president has directed that the
navy cooperate with the army in the
fall campaign, but IL is expected it's
work will be generally confined to
blockading. A few of the smaller gum
boats will. however, be sent as far In
land as the conditions will perm t.
The marines, too, are TO play an inn
portant part in the operations in the
vicinity of Cavite. Within "a short
time nearly 100 marines will be on
hand la the Philippines and they will
be assigned TO duty in the southern
part Of the island OF Luzon. which is
the hotUed OF the instruction. Gen.
Macarthur and Gen. Lawton will be re-
sponsiblo for the campaign In their
territory.

MAY REDEEM WAR REVENUE STAMPS.
A question having arisen as to the
power Of the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue to redeem unused stamps
under the war revenue act, Commits
sioner Wilson has requested an opinion
of the Department OF Justice as to
whether the redemption provisions OF
the old stamp laws Oi the civil war era
would apply to the new law. The AS
sistant Attorney General holds that the
old law. having been repealed in toto,
none Of it's redemption provisions is In
force. But he further holds that under
the general powers vested in the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue I'd make
regulations for the collection OF revenue
ne is authorized. under such circum-
stances as he may deem proper. to pro-
vide for the redemption OF unused
stamps.
The ouesIO arose on the aPplica-
tion for the redemption OF an unused
81, 900 stamp purchased to be affixed to
a railroad mortgage. After it was pur-
chased, together with others, it was
found that the stamps purchased were
SH, 600 10 excess OF the tax on the
mortgage
