OTIS AND MACARTHUR.

In the published correspondence in
dicating the fact Of unpleasant relations
between Generals Otis and Macarthur
before the former was superseded by
the latter as Governor General of the
lHilippines the American public will find
reason to sympathize with Macarthur.
srlt' would seem to be evident that the
game petty spitefulness and self-suffi-
s4ency which made Otis SO heartily dis.
eked by newspaper correspondents in
the Philippines was manifested toward
those officers who chanced to be sub
dpmlte to him. Macarthur especially
appears to have 'triled" the General who
was called Grandma" by his soldiers.

issuance of an amnesty proclamation in
