While the country generally has never
ceased to resent Otis. and the action OF the
Administration in keeping him in the Phil
ippines as Viceroy and Captain General.
when American sentiment universally de-
manded his recall, there have been occa-
sional suspicious that the blame for his
shortcomings might be divided with his
masters in Washington.
As an illustration Of the propriety of
such theory. it will be remembered that
when the time of the Spanish war yolun-
teers, on service in the archipelago. had
expired. the Administration loudly declared
that most OF them wanted to re-enlist and
were too patriotic, happy. and contented TO
think Of coming home. Friends Of the
enlisted men and the press were extremely
curious and doubtful on the point and
bombarded the War Department with
many questions. Private letters from
The Philippines were not Of a char
acter to bear out official assertions on the
subject. So OTIS was instructed to give the
status OF the case by cable. 1t is stated
that on receipt Of his response the War
Department hung out the following buIle-
tin:
'Folunteers willing to remain"
That would have been highly creditabIe

Christian spirit Of patience, ali things. in

true. But it is claimed that an Ohio Rep
Tesentative in Congress found means to
get access to the original despatch, and
found il TO read:
- Volunteers unwilling to rc-cnlisl. but willing
TO remain until further transports arrive"
The genuine message, it viii be observ-
ed. showed that the volunteers were not
mbued with as much patience as they were
with a strong desire TO be resigned. The
incident is one long closed, but it has not
lost its suggestiveness- 1t naturally leads
one TO wonder if the news from our Far
Eastern carpetbag kingdom is jugcled
with now, as it was wont to be in the
days Of Otis? Why do not we hear some
thing now and then from our subject. the
Sultan Of Sulu, and his interesting fami-
Iy. with whom. as 4 matter OF course. the
palace at Manila maintains intimate reIa-
tiOns? Why has not the public been IA
vored with some information in regard to
Monsignor Chapelle's progress in settling
the trouble about the friars? And why
are the private reports concerning the
richness and enjoyability of the non-cus-

The answer probably is that carpetbac
