An Old Warriors Opinion.

~ r the banquet of :he So ciety Of
the Army of the Tennessee in
Chicago Wednesday night, old
General Thomas NJ. Anderson, who led
the advance of the American army in
the province of Cavite, said some things
about the conduct of the war in the
Philippines that startled the very
chandeliers. 1t was at late stage of
the banquet when General Anderson
arose, and it is barely possible that he
was in that interesting condition that
was responsible for Captain Coghlan's

Eeritas, and the general made no at
tempt TO conceal his real opinions
about the war department. What made
his speech all the more startling was
the presence at the banquet of General
Alger. Anderson didn't care for Alger
or anybody else. He had something on
his mind to unload, and he unloaded it,

among the friends and kindred, in this
state, of those who were the recipients
of yesterdays inequalities.
1t was gala day for the Montana
volunteers. The rigors Of campaigning
they have endured make the more en-
joyable such courtesies as those with
which the people of Oakland have IA
vored them. Soon the Montana boys
will be home and, after their arrival,
there will undoubtedly go from our

Oakland's citizens. will be in witness of
the fact that Montana is not unmind-
full of their kindness, and will not be.
In fact, every effort has been made
to render as pleasant as possible the
stay of the Montana troops at the Pre-
sidio. The picture on the sixteenth
page of this mornings Standard is d
true-to-life sketch Of the scene at Col
onel kessler's headquarters, directly
after the arrival of the soldiers at San
Francisco. and from that day cordial
courtesies have not been lacking.

HEN, at Fargo, he addressed
wv the North Dakota soldiers
just returned from the Philip
pines, President Mckinley is said by
the press dispatches to have awakened
enthusiasm when he said that we will
put sixty thousand troops on the ISL
ands, to maintain the flag and the hon.
or of the United States.
That is a pretty bit of phrasing, Mr..
President, but you will put more than
sixty thousand men on the island of
Luzon before you are going to be able
to force the Filipinos to bend the knee.
When this thing started. the Mckinley
administration told conspicuous COM
mander of our forces to go to Manila
at the head of five thousand soldiers
and fight it out. That commander re-
fused flatfocted to go. insisting that
an army of less than fifteen thousand
men, for a starter, would be ridicu-
lously small.
Later on, the president was satisfied
that thirty thousand troops would be
enough and to spare. The executive
mark is sixty thousand now. and if is
to be remembered that, in spite of
plenty of splendid fighting in which
our men have covered themselves with
glory. We have, to-day, all of LuZon,
beyond the suburbs of the city of Ma
Mia, to get and keep. The country
is learning to respect the opinion of
those who predicted, as long ago as
last spring, that for the conquest of
the island a force of certainly not less
than a hundred thousand men will be
required.
In his recent swing around the cir
Gle Mr.. Mckinley has had a great
deal to say about the honor of the
flag, and therein theme is always
furnished for rotund talk. Well, one
way to honor the flag is to place
around it men enough to take proper
care of it against exposure to enemies
when once it has been hoisted over
foreign soil. President Mckinley has
not done that. His unwillingness to
face heavy expense bill at next years
polls has been the motive that has de-
layed the sending to Luzon of troops
enough to take proper care of the flag.
This chief-eXecutive flag-fiying is all
very spectacular in it's way. That the
subject should be constantly on the
presidents mind is, after all, not so
very strange; he has millions of coun-
trymen whose conviction it is that he
is putting the nations banner to I'M
worthy uses. The American flag should
not be forced upon any man who does
not want to live under it's folds. Once
this country had a president who had
views on this subject. His name was
Abraham Lincoln and ne said: What
] do say is this, that no man is good
enough to govern another without that
others consent" Which the same the
Standard commends, this Sunday
morning, to President Mckinley's
prayerful consideration.

drowned in the Bosphorus sew
eral ladies of the harem suspected of

Turkish party" Those who have met
him describe Abdul Hanaid II. as re-
fined, polished, corteous gentleman. and
he shows it, He might have drawn

them at the stake, or cast them into

heart he CONSIDERABLY ties them up in
bags and losses them into the Bosph-

Death by drowning is said to be, after
the first few efforts to catch ones
breath, a thrilling and altogether a
delightful sensation.

Turkish crown. If he filings the ladies

The Otis System.

u S IS usual in such cases, General
I Otis. in undertaking ito do too
much" as Dewey put it. has ac-
complished very little. By capturing a
few towns he hoped to strike terror and
dismay to the hearts of the Fillpinos.
Instead, his peculiar methods of cam
paigning have inspired them with hope
and confidence. His biggest blundsr
was in not calling for force OF troops
big enough to cope with the emer-
gency.
The correspondent of the Chicago
Record has made up list of the towns
captured and abandoned by the Ameri-
cans. which demonstrates the utter
futility of the warfare Otis Is directing
from Manila The list is: Pasig has
been captured three times and aband-
oned twice; Guadalupe has been cap
tured four times and abandoned three
times; Mariquina has been captured six
times and abandoned six times; Canita
has been captured twice and abandoned
twice; Antipolo has been captured once
and Abandoned; Morong has been cap
tured twice and abandoned twice; San
ia Cruz has been captured once and
abandoned; Pagsanjan has BEEN cap
| tured once and Abandoned; Longos has
been captured once and abandoned;
Paete has been captured once and
abandoned; Novaliches has been cap
tured twice and abandoned twice; San
Mateo has been captured once and
abandoned; San Jose has been captured
once and abandoned; Norzagaray has
| been captured once and abandoned:
Augot has been captured once and
Abandoned; San Miguel de Mayuma has
been captured once and abandoned;
Mexico has been captured twice and
abandoned once; Macabebe. the only
town friendly to the Americans, was
taken and deserted and allowed to be
burned by the natives; Quingua was
taken twice and abandoned once; Qua
qua was taken once and abandoned.
This shows the character of the Otis
campaign. 1t consists OF too many
grand-stand plays. What shall it profit
Otis if he captures every town in Luzon
if he has to abandon it a few days later?
If these towns We're not worth holding,
it was a wanton waste of life to at
tempt their capture.

erogeneous group, comprising those

tack him because he isn't intolerant

platform-the sultan be damned. They
regard him as an usurper and impost-
or, holding that his elder brother, VINO
is still living, is the only true sultan.
This brother Murad v, on the death
of his father in 1876, reigned three
months, when Abdul Hamfd jerked the
throne out from under him and sat
down on it himself. Abdul said that
Murad was insane. Abdurs own sanity
has frequently been called in question;
but he has succeeded in holding down
the throne twenty-three years. fact
which under the circumstances indi-
Gates the possession of intelligence and
executive ability.
If he is mad Abdul has all the mad
mans cunning. More attempts have
have been made on his life than he
can count. Mid poisons and ponards
as well as pleasures and palaces he
roams. He dares not drink cup of
coffee without first trying it on a dog
of a eunuch. He dares not caress
houri of his harem without first hav-
ing her searched for concealed weap-
ons. Such are are the sultan's domes-
tic complications. AS to his foreign re
latons, it is notorious what they are.
