the War Department, and that he will be asked
for his version of the specifications they charge
Should the rejoinder simply deny the very seri-
Gus charges in the general stereotyped sentences
TO which such partiality has been shown IN the
past. there is no doubt that the general officers
in the field in Luzon will be called on directly
for brief reports on the condition Of affairs. II
is significant fact that none Of them have had
opportunity TO present any statement regarding
the campaign since their accounts of the open

MR.. HAY RECEIVES GOOD NEWS.

Washington. July 1.-THE publication or the
war correspondents formal Indictment Of Cen
eral Otis's management Of the Philippine cam
paign caused sensation in the departments
here. Secretary Hay had received advices as
late as to-day from civil as we'll military
sources in the Philippines which led him to de-
clare that the situation there was certainly i'm
proved materially. and that the prospects for
the future had frightened greatly. With these
advices. the Secretary said. General Otis had
had nothing to do. and they were from disnter-
ested persons. whose opinions must carry
weight.
Generally strong disinclination was exhibited
by the officials to discuss this last round
robin" General Miles. who is acting as Secre-
tary OF War in the absence of Secretary Ager
and Assistant Secretary MeiklejoAn, would not
comment on the dispatch.
