The Gar of the Philippines and weak
ling of the American army,
uenerai Otis' General Otis, has degned
interview. to give SIN correspond
ent an interview on the
situation. 1t is about time. Several thous-
and volunteers have returned to the United
States who will not hesitate also to say
something concerning the situation in the
Philippines. If VIII t number of these
volunteers, who were discharged 1T Manila
and are going home by passenger steamer,
were willing to Say and swear to while p S.
ing through Honolulu, be any index to
what the thousands of volunteers dis
Charged at San Francisco will also swear
to-, here will be enough accumulation of
evidence to convict this incubus of the
American Eastern question of high trea-
son.
AS is the fate of all weak men, General
Otis has opened his mouth to put his
foot in it," AT st the American people
have learned the Generals novel method
OF suppressing insurrection. He Says:
The question is whether after all, l. would be wise
hasten the ending of the ins"rrecon With the exception
of few bbers and advenures the people grow scker
and more disguised with Independence every day they
have it. believe that if the insure is not ended too
the Filpp will be heartily sick of independence
that there will never be any trouble that score.
Independence was with these people. They did
idea amounted almost fanaticism that they really
know what dependence it is the best object lesson
they had and it will be necessary continue
much longer to forever settle the question.
General Otis should have lived in the last
century. One can quite easily imagine an
English General in the revolutionary war
saying the same thing of the Americans.
The statement is weak in every respect,
and reveals the handspring of General Otis
most remarkable methods of warfare, which
have gained for him the opprobrium, and
even hatred, of the rank and file of the
army. 1t has been the policy of General
Otis to forbid any pursuit of the enemy
after brilliant victory by the American
troops. The cavalry has thus practically
mitted to retreat and given time to entrench
themselves again, so that the troops have
been continually compelled to storm the
insurgents in their trenches. Besides this,
all prisoners taken are at once set free to
return to their respective regiments, to take
up the fight again-a strange way, GER
tainly, to make the insurgents sick of inde-
pendence. Such tactics rather tend to
make the American troops dispirited and
sick of fighting foe that their command
ing general will never permit them to whip
after they have fought with extraordinary
bravery and brilliancy to gain the adj
vantage.
Is it possible that Secretary Root, who is
committed to vigorous prosecution iof isthe
war, can continue in comniand. a general
who openly avows it his opinion that it is
not wise to hasten the ending Of, the insur-
rection Or, is it possible that President
Mckinley, who has pledged himself to
hasten the paci6cation of the Philippines,
is in sympathy with General OTIS policy?

General Otis is described as sitting in his
comfortable palace, located

Won Moltke. thousand regular troops to
guard him against ass .ssina-
country before him, directing by wire the
operations in the field. Reports are made
every fifteen minutes by telegraph to this
inner citadel, and, when he thinks real
victory is to be won, he orders a retreat
the moment the insurgent troops have
begun to Fun. This, of course, constitutes
an American victory in General Otis eyes,

with them, and orders to the front must

This all seems too terrible for belief 1t
is, nevertheless, the common gossip. among
the volunteers. ana must nave some fOunda-
ton in fact.
An instance is given of the disasterous
effects of one of General Otis delays. 1t
seems that the American army had caught
the Filipinos in trap and were in posi-
ton to compel Aguinaldo to surrender or
have the flower of his army destroyed.
The delay in receiving orders to advance
from the palace in the walled city, gave the
insurgents time to escape.
During the battle of Rio Grande bridge,
where General Funston won promotion,
the wires were cut between the firing line
and Manila, supposedly by the insurgents,
and Funston led his command, the Kansas,
Montana and Utah regiments to glorious
victory. 1t was afterwards found that the
insurgents could not have been within
many miles of where the wires were cut.
1t is avered, although this may be exag-
gerated, that all the great victories were
won after some accident had happened to
the wires between the battle ground and
Manila.
If all due latitude be allowed for exag-
geration on the part of the volunteers there
is still enough of truth to impeach General
Otis of criminal weakness and neglect of
duty.

"WhAt's the m tier with independence?

Besides being insulting and disgusting,
such an answer to an appeal for help is
positi ely childish and nndignided. How
are the mighty fallen? The representative
of this great nation with benevolent inten-
TONS as Mr.. Mckinley says, sneers and
laughs derisively at an application for pro-

of this in his interview, as if he had said
something clever. Oh how proud we feel
to be American citizens!
An incident is related by sergeant in
the Montana regiment of an interview with
General Pando, while a prisoner in the
insurgent camp, which is interesting in
revealing the opinion of both the volun-
teers and insurgents concerning General
Otis. General Pando, seeing that the pris-
oner wore officers stripes, spoke to him
American troops were fighting so hard.
The prisoner answered.: Because we are
ordered by General Otis to fight you, and
being Americans, we fight IS hard as we
can, when we must "Do YOU want to
fight us?" continued the General. "No;

down our arms, if matters of government
are settled to our satisfaction "The
volunteers have nearly the same opinion"
replied the Sergeant "We believe Gen
eral Otis to have reached the imbecility of
second childhood. There is not volun-
