General Otis Will Give Up His Philippine
Command May 1.
WASHINGTON, April General Otis
will retire from his command in the
Philippines at his own request May or
shortly thereafter, and will be sue
ceeded in chief command by General
Arthur Macarthur. The cabled cor
respondence between General Otis and
the government has been given out by
the war department..
President Mckinley expresses his re-
grets at the wish of General Otis to
leave the Philippines and highly COM
mends that officer upon his distin-
guished services both in military and
civil capacity. General Otis request
for leave to return home, which has
been granted, is made upon the ground
of private and family interests requir-
ing his attention, though it is presumed
the fact that he is virtually to be super
seeded by the new Philippine commission
has something to do with his decision
to return at this time.

counters between the American troops
and the insurgents continue to arrive
from many points. On Friday Captain
Sturgis, while accommodating, struck an
lnsurgent outpost on the Nevaliches
road, five miles distant from Manila,
killing two and capturing ten All
were in full uniform. Unfortunately
Captain Sturgis' force was not large
enough to pursue the main body.

gents and obliged to take refuge in a
church at Paolo, where the Americans
repealed the rebels until achievements
arrived.

reinforcements, representing that his
force is inadequate, that the men are
exhausted by the necessity Of constant
vigilance, that he is unable to garrison
the towns in his jurisdiction, that the

and killing the amigos, and that it is
necessary for him to infiict punishment
in several sections before the rainy sea-
son begins.

ing in Southern Luzon, has made SINH
lar representations. He says his forces
are inadequate and that he merely
holds few towns, without controlling

mated because they were known to be
friendly to the Americans.
The president of another town has
joined the insurgents because they had

On Trial tor Insanity.

Miss Twilley, daughter OF the late
S, E. Twilley, was tried Friday in the
probate court for insanity and appli-
cation will be made for her admission
to some asylum where her affection
may be properly treated. She is a
young woman of about thirty years
and is large making the caring for her
a task OF no slight proportions. Her
trouble seems to be of harmless
nature but when the mood seizes her
she is not easily controlled in anything
she decides to do. Some time this
summer she left the house early in the
morning and was not heard Of for two
days, despite a most diligent search,
when she turned up at the old home in
Neosho county, twenty miles away,
every foot of the distance having been
walked by her.
