Military Appointments. A

The fact that Gen. Otis has recon.
mended the commission of fourteen Of
ficers of the First Tennessee Regiment
in the United States volunteers creates
that many vacancies in the regiment,
and there will, of course, be a large
number of promotions to be made by
Gov. McMillin. He will probably make
them at an early date, in order that the
boys may get the advantage of the pro-
motion, as their return to the United
States is a question of short time.

Cleveland, O., July 17.-The conduc

on a strike last month, went out agaiT
at 4:15 this a. m. Eight hundred mel
are affected. They claim the company
has not lived up to the agreement
made which ended the former strike.
The decision to declare another
strike was reached after a meeting oi
the men, which lasted practically
throughout the night. During the early
hours of the day, not a car was run
on any of the Big Consolidated lines

Police Protection Asked.
The officials of the company asked
for police protection, saying they
would attempt to start cars on one OF
two lines. Very large crowds congre-
gated at all of the barns of the COM
pany, but so far as known no violence
had been committed.
Business Agent Pratt, of The strik-
ers, issued a statement, in part as fol-

Nothing But Promises.
Three weeks have elapsed, and the
company has failed to live up to any
part of its agreement; neither have
they shown any intention OF doing so
except by many promises, which have
been more readily broken than made.
The council committee have said that
they are no longer a party to that
agreement, although their signatures
appear there the same as the rest. Con-
sequently, we are back at the starting
point, the only difference being that
our last condition is worse than the
first.

Two Long Interviews.

The correspondents had two long
interviews with Gen. Otis, in the
course of which they complained that
the evident purpose of the censorship
was not to keep information from the
enemy, but to keep from the pIbIic a
knowledge of the real condition of af-
fairs here. 1t was also asserted by the
correspondents that newspapers print
ed in Manila, which reach the enemy
quickly, are permitted to publish
statements similar to those which cor
respondents are forbidden to cable 1t
was made clear to Gen. Otis that the
objection was to the system and not
TO the censor.

Manila, July II, via Hong Kong.
July 1.-THE constantly increasing
strictness of the censorship of press
dispatches from Manila, which has
prevented the cabling to the United
States of anything that did not reflect
official views of important events and
conditions resulted in n united effort
OIL the part of correspondents here to
secure an abatement of the rigor of
the censorship.
The Initiative Taken.
The initiative in this direction was
taken a month ago, and resulted in
the framing of a statement which was
presented, on Sunday, July Q, to Maj
Gen. Otis. commanding the military
forces of the United States in the Phil
ippine islands, with n request for per-
mission to telegraph it to the United
States. The correspondents also asked
that they be allowed 10 cable to their
respective papers all facts and the diff
ferent phases of events rs they trans
pired here.

correspondence Statement.
The undersigned, being all staff cor
respondents of American newspapers
stationed in Manila, unite in the fol-
lowing statement:
We believe that, owing to official dis
patches from Manila, made public in
Washington, the people of the United
States have not received Il correct i'm
preston of the situation i'm the Phil
ippines, but that these dispatches have
presented an ultra optimistic view that
is not shared by the general officers in
the field.
We believe that the dispatches incor-
correctly represent the existing condi-
tions among the Filipinos in respect to
9sSssension and decentralization result
ing from the American campaign and
to the brigand character of their
army.
We believe the dispatches err in the
declaration that the situation is we'll
in hand,'' and the assumption that the
insurrection can be speedily ended
without n greatly increased force.
We think the tenacity of the Filipi-
TO purpose has been underestimated,
and that the statements are unfoundrd
that volunteers are willing 10 engage
