Case of Alleged Reluctance and
Neglect OF Men.

Manila, Aug. 3, via Hong Kong
After the taking Of Calamba by the
Americans, Gen. LawtOn ordered that
Capt. Otis, Of the Washington regi-
ment, be relieved Of his command and
placed under arrest on account Of slow
ness and seeming reluctance of the
companies under his command in obey
ing the order to disembark from the
caseOes and wade through the marshes
under fire The men say that a ma
jOrity of them have been sick and unfit
for duty and were given to understand
that they would not be asked TO do any
more fighting. The Washington regi-
ment is among the regiments which
had served longest on the firing line
and had a good record heretofore.

INTERESTING HISTORY.
In 1873, After the vIrgtaius Outrage. Ad-
mIraI Dewey Wanted Permission TO
Gross the water ana Take Manila

Washington, Aug. g. Chairman
Moses, Of the committee Of 100 having
IN charge the reception to Admiral
Dewey on his arrival In Washington,
which includes the presentation Of the
sword voted him by congress, has re-
ceiFed from the admiral a letter ap-
proving the plans under consideration
for the affair.
An interesting historical fact, dating
back to 1875, has come to light In which
Admiral Dewey was the central figure.
Dewey, then a commander, was IN com
mand Of the United States steamship
Narragansett on the Asiatic station,
having taken charge Of the vessel on
March /, 1873. The vessel was on sur
veying duty when the Virginius trou-
bic was Precipitated and a war
with Spain seemed imminent. Com
mander Dewey wrote to the navy
department requesting that in case
war was declared he should be
assigned to the duty Of capturing Ma
Mia The peaceful settlement Of the
controversy with Spain avoided the
necessity for a hostile demonstration,
but the interesting fact is that the
doughty officer had his eye on Manila
over a quarter of a century ago A
search VIII be made for the letter in
the files Of the navy department, and,
if found, it is expected an effort viii
be made by the citizens committee to
have it reproduced as a souvenir Of the

Havana, Aug. IA leading Havana
merchant, a Cuban having business
connections with most Of the cities Of
the island and who claims to be posted
regarding Cuban affairs, said yesterday
that universal suffrage In Cuba would
mean a black republic In the near fu-
ture, and that the only means Of pre-
venting It VIII be the incorporation Of
the island as possession Of the United
States as a state, territory or colony,
leading TO American immigration, in
termarriages, the enrichment Of in
sular blood and the improvement Of the
population. In his judgment, Cuba
is otherwise doomed to become another
Hayti. His assertions are based upon
the fact that, IN a population not ex-
ceeding /, go, 600, with a voting capaci-
ty of 400, 900, the Spaniards number
only So 600, the white Cubans, 125, 600;
those claiming to be white, ., 600;
while the blacks number 200, 600 in vOt-
ing strength The theory is that more
than half the Spaniards, under a sys-
TEN Of universal suffrage, would not
vote and that the number who would
vote must inevitably diminish each
wear.

Of the government to glut the Ia
Dor market Of the coast and to
injure wOrkingmen; to disband the
men 2, 900 miles from home, where they
viii soon ''go broke" and have to re-
enlist; and to prevent their coming
