CEN ANDERSON DENIES.
Re Did Not Utter the Words Put Into His Mouth by Commis-
 sioner Zialcita.
wAsvERY CAREFUL AS TO WHAT HE SAID.
The General. Also, Declares That There Was No Clash Between Him and Gen. Otis, or That He Was Recalled on Account of Any MisunderstandinE With otis.

Fort Thomas, Ky. July 20.-Gen. Thomas NJ. Anderson. commander of the department of the lakes. was seen here by press representative. and was asked for a statement concerning the Minenapolis Times report from it's Manila correspondent, in which the Philippine Peace Commissioner Zial- cita. was quoted as saying that Gen. Anderson, at dinner given in his honor. at Cavite, had said that the Anne ricans had not come to the Phil ippines for the purpose to take one foot of the territory with the view of permanent possession, but for the purpose of giving the Filipinos their independence. Gen. Anderson prompt ly and decidedly said he had never used any such language. He stated that when he reached Manila he had no transportation, forage or fuel, and he applied to Aguinaldo for these things.
 Correspondence With AguinaldO.
 This drew him into a correspon- dence with Aguinaldo, from which the general soon saw that Aguinaldo's $ purpose was to put every obstacle in the way of furnishing the things needed by the United States army. and at the same time to lead the Unit ed States, through Gen. Anderson.into some sort of recognition of the Fili- pino government. In that correspon- dence, the general says, he made it ,,1o in fn Ir ha in purely military capacity, with no authority whatever to bind the Unit ed States by any act of recognition: that his intercourse with Aguinaldo was purely military, both being op- posed by common enemy. He also pointed out that as. no nation had recognized the Filipino government, or had even given it belligerent rights, it was impossible for him to do any thing of the kind
 "I want it distinctly stated" said the genral. that I never at any time made any such statement as is at- tributed to me by Zialcita.
 Another Matter Set Right.
 Another matter I wish to set right. .t has been charged that l had clash ed with Gen. Otis, and it has even been said that l was recalled on that account. There was no clash between me and Gen. Otis. It is true I made a suggestion with regard to attacking the Filipinos, because they were in- trenching in our front, and that Gen. Otis did not act upon it. But this made no clash. Gen. Otis may have been acting under direct orders from Washington. As to my recall, that was dated in January, and hostilities did not begin until February, SO it could have had no connection with the ac- tive campaign as suggested"

recommended that plant of sewing
machines be put in the girls Industrial
school and sloyd departments be estab-
lished in the Soldiers Orphans home,
