STOPPING SPREAD
OF DISAFFECTION
AMONG VOLUNTEERS
General Otis IS Now CensOring
Cablegrams Sent to Soldiers
in the Philippines.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The Wash
ingtOn correspondent Of the Herald
telegraphs: General Otis is making a
determined effort to prevent the
spread of disaffection among the volun-
teers under his command by censoring
dispatches sent to them by political
opponents of the administration in the
United States.
The President has received a cable
gram from that officer informing him
of the action he has taken and stating
that the seditious messages being sent
are responsible for the change in the
feeling among the troops who desire to
be returned Immediately to the United
States.
1t was denied by Secretaries Alger
and Long to-day that the matter was
made the subject of Cabinet discussion
yesterday, but it is known that the
President has discussed the dispatch of
General Otis with his Cabinet advisers
with a view to determining the action
which ought to be taken. There seems
to be no doubt in the Administrations
mind that it is within the power of
the President to direct judicial action.
He will not do so, however, but will
let the matter rest in General Otis
hands, who will continue to exercise
the censorship he has established and
thus prevent dispatches sent from this
country reaching those for whom they
are intended.
Dispatches which General Otis has
suppressed declare, I understand, that
the volunteers have completed their
term of office under the army reOrgani-
zation law and are entitled to imme-
diate return home. The effect of this
agitation, it is said is that volunteers
who six weeks ago announced that
they were desirous of remaining in the
Philippines until the insurrection was
quelled now insist upon being imme-
diately transported home.
1t is also asserted that as result of
the circulation of the dispatches among
volunteers few will take advantage of
that provision of the army reorganiza-
ton law under which the Government
was authorized to re-enlist them for a
period of six months after the procla-
nation of the President announcing
the exchange Of ratificatiOns of the
treaty of peace with Spain.

NEW YORK, April pa Newport R.
/, special to the Herald says: Mrs. Her
mann Oelrichs' visit to her sister, Mrs.
William K Vanderbilt Jr., was marred
to-day by a painful though not serious
accident that befell her. She arrived on
Thursday and was very busy yesterday
and to-day about matters connected with
the building of her villa on the cliffs,
which has just been begun.
This afternoon. while attempting to
aIight quickly from Mrs Vanderbilts s
carriage Mrs. Oelrichs caught her foot
in the step, wrenching her ankle and fall

badly injured, but upon examination it
was found she had been fortunate enough
to escape with only a sprained ankle,
though that will occasion her much pain
for some time.
Mrs. Oelrichs left for New York late
this afternoon and in the meantime Mr..

VI GERS of the United States cruiser
Y Raleigh were the guests Of
honor at reception at the
Army and Navy Club tonight.
Captain Coghlan. replying to an ad-
dress Of welcome, said:
I'VE have received a warm welcome
here tonight, but we received a warm
er reception when we arrived at Ma
nUa In fact. the Spaniards were so
warm in their reception that they
wanted to keen us there for good. l
find that what I said last night at the
Union League Club has caused great
umbrage to be taken in Washington.
This has been caused by newspaper re-
ports of what 1 said which were not
entirely correct. Some Of the reports
were garbled. I will not say l was in
correctly reported. but the meaning
was twisted a little. What I said was
true. however, and I will repeat it If
necessary. l said what I did about
certain power because we felt 1t out
there at Manila
we were being nagged to death.
They were nagging us, damn them.
II might have brought war. We were
ready for it, We had enough Of it. 1
have read a good deal in the newspa-
Ders about what occurred at Manila,
and not one Of them has placed our
gallant Admiral George Dewey in a
proper light We felt the nagging that
was going on constantly. That is the
reason I thought we should place the
Admiral in proper light.
you all understand that the whole
Of us were a long way from home. All
shared grand old Admiral Dewey s
anxiety and felt the responsibility that
he and we were under. We felt we
were being belittled in Manila and we
felt the nagging keenly. The Admiral
was a man who could stand it, and
kept UP a long time when all of us were
irritated almost to impatience. You
can be irritated by a man until you
want to kill him. Well, when the mo-
ment came he stopped them and they
never moved another hair l did think
and always will think that we were
that close (snapping his fingers) to
killing them. No man in the whole
country was more able or more ready
to uphold the honor Of our people than
grand old Admiral Dewey"
Captain Coghlan was here interrupt
ed by such voCiferous applause that he
could not continue his speech for a few
moments.
He is a James Dandy" he contin-
ued. II could go on all night and re
peat what I have said, but one does not
want to get a reputation of one
speech man. I viii say that no matter
what occasion or what difficulty con
fronted him. Admiral Dewey always
rose superior to the occasion. He never
made mistake in his work there. We
at home may make mistakes in telling
about il. but he made none at Manila
He told the Spaniards at Manila that
IF they fired gun after May l he would
wipe them of the face Of the earth. and
after that they never pulled a trigger" ."

speaking the cheering was so loud that

Over 400 guests were in the hotel at the

made by the hotel management to re-

every possible point. Hence the in
terest in dairy meetings, and the high
value that is placed upon them by all
concerned.
During the last month, I have re-
arranged and re examined the sets Of
annual reports and similar publica
tions, of the several State Dairy Assc-
Citations, and have been impressed
more than ever with the features to
which I have alluded. Everywhere
there dairymen seem to have asso
ciated, with the determination to help
one another and to improve and elevate
and dignity dairying as a whole. These
publications are full Of technical in,
formation and of practical and useful
suggestions. They show that the asso.
Citations in the different States have
been wide awake, and are always seek
ing knowledge and keeping up with
the times.
Ihave great faith in the future of
dairy farming in North Carolina.
With such resources, in climate, water
and soil, capable OF so easily producing
excellent forage in abundance and
variety, and with the growing de-
mands of your own people, the x'en
sion of dairying within your borders
must be only a queetion of time, and
short at that.
Cons, quently it is fortunate that the
North Carolina Dairymen's AssociR
ton has come into existence in good
time. 1t should continue active and
energetic, carrying it's teachings from
place to place in the State to encourage
beginners, and Notwithstanding the
usual Encouragement Of early years,
she uld pass on, certain of being even
tually a strong body, representative of
an important branch of agriculture,
and influential in the development CT
the material prosperity Of the com

Guilty and annoyance of having their
wagon wheels dry out. shed their tires
and become shaky and creAky. This
condition means one of several things.
Either the wheels will have to submit
TO repeated soakings in water-which
but helps on the general tendency to
decay. OF the tires will have to be cut
and re set or re set in boiled oil, or a
new pair of wheels will have to be
purchased. Every one Of these ext
gencies means expense and no perma

principle in economy to always shut
out or cut eff if possible the expensive
element of repair. That is n reason
why so many people roof their houses
and other buildings with slate. Slate
lasts and obliterates for all time the
expense Of periodical repair.
