y Report From General Otis

Washington, September S.-The war
department has made public a report
of Major General Otis, giving details
Of the operations of the United States
army in the Philippines from Septem-
Der l, 1899 10 May 5, 1900. Beside con-
tanning an account of the movements
of the United States forces, there IS
considerable space devoted to the pol
icieS of the captured correspondence
and documents found in possession OF
persons in sympathy with the insur-
gents.
General Otis says he desires 10 cor
rect an erroneous impression that the
war with the insurgents was initiated
by the United States. After explain
ing the conditions WhiC.- existed at the
breaking out Of hoStilitieS he says
War with the insurgents was forced
upon us and was unavoidable
He asserts thai this is shown in Fill
ipino CORES pond5nce captured by the
Americans, which correspondence he
says proves that war was planned by
Aguinaldo. He also denies that the
F,ilipinos endeavored to stop hostilities
after the first outbreak but We're re-
fused by the United States.
General Otis. at considerable length,
details the difficulties of the campaigns
and describes how, by relentless pur-
suits, General Young's troops liberat-
ed 5000 Spanish and American soldiers
captured BY the Tagalos. The import
| ance attached TO holding the prisoners
| by Aguinaldo he says is indicated by
| captured instructions sent TO "a Filipi-
| no chief officer, November 15, 1899.
| General Otis goes at length into the
constant activity of the insurgents ir
| the vicinity of Manila and ascribes i
| to Aguinaldos agents who We're act
| ing under orders. AS showing the bar
| barous character of the insurgents
mode of warfare he quotes a letteI
from Adjutant General Torres to tn
| insurgent secretary Of war in Febru
airy 1899 stating that La PaZ, in Parlac
| was the place to concentrate the cap
| ture friars because natives there wer
attacked with fevers and few stran
gers stopping there escaped death.
