War Correspondents at Manila object
10 the Rigid Press Gen.
sorship.

Manila, July1l, via Hong-Kong, July
1S.--The constantly increasing strict
ness Of the censorship of press dis
patches from Manila, which has pre-
vented the cabling TO the United States
OF anything that did not reflect OIL
cial views OF important events and
conditions, has resulted in united
effort on the part of correspondents
here to secure an abatement of the
rigor of the censorship. The initiative
in this direction was taken month
ago and resulted in the framing of a
statement which was presented on Sun
day, July o, 10 Maj. Gen. Otis, command
ing the military forces OF the United
States in the Philippine islands, with
request for permission to telegraph
il to the United States. The CORE
spondents also asked that they be al
lowed TO cable TO their respective pa
pers all facts and the different phases
of events as they transpired here. The
correspondents had two long inter
views with Gen. Otis, i'm the course of
which they complained that the evil
dent purpose of the censorship was
not TO keep information from the en-
envy, but TO keep from the public n
knowledge of the real condition of af-
fairs here. IL was also asserted by the
correspondents that newspapers print
ed in Manila, which reach the enemy
quickly, are permitted to publish state
ments similar 10 those which CORE
spondents are forbidden TO cable. IL
was made clear to Gen. Otis that the
objection was to the system and not
TO the censor.
Washington, July fs.-The pubEca-
ton of the war correspondents formal
indictment of Gen. Otis management
of the Philippine campaign caused a
sensation in the departments here.
Secretary Hay had received advices as
late as Monday from civil MS well as
military sources in the Philippines
which led him TO declare that the sit
uation there was certinly improved
materially, and the prospects for the
future had frightened very much
With these advices, the secretary said,
Gen. Otis had had nothing TO do, and
they were from disinterested persons
whose opinions must carry weight.

Where does the slang Of the day originatey
When a new verbal monstrosity comes into

effect is startling. On roof garden last
night a weary-looking youth in straw hat
that had seen better days and with tell-tale
puffs beneath his eyes, released two straws
from his mouth long enough to remark, Lam
guidTy, that he was suffering from a horrible
case of the ding bats" His companion,
who looked like vaudeville lady, had just
remarked in tone loud enough TO be heard

LObsters,

The demand for Holsters is SO great that
few years ago they were threatened
with extinction. To prevent this and
increase the supply, the Fish Commits
sions of the North Atlantic coast together
with those of the United States, and the
British possessions, began the artificial
propagation of this valuable crustacean
on large scale, with early and crafty
ing success. The Department OF Fisher.
les of Newfoundland is particularly active
in this work, and has no less than twenty
eight hatching stations in operation.
These have given life to an average of
45o,cco.oco Holsters annually, and more
than 3.I5o.ooo. 900 during the las, seven
years. The unusual value of this line
of work can be better appreciated by
the statement that the ova is taken ex
clusively from female Holsters captured
for consumption. These victims Tor the
pot, therefore. perform a greater service
for their kind than those which escape
capture, because by artificial fertilization
over 90 per cent. of the eggs are ncu-
bated against about 10 per cent. Of those
naturally fertilized and hatched.-Phil
