Some time ago I said that the sum
total OF graft acquired by General Otis
while he commanded In the Philip
pines consisted OF quarter OF a
pound OF tea Il at he accepted just as
he was leaving the islands An officer
who served with Otis relates that he
did accept another gift. II seems that
the first Christmas which General
Otis spent in the islands he received
from the head Chinaman. the man
who managed all affairs OF the
Chinese residents OF Manila. quite a
large assortment of gifts, consisting
OF silks and other Chinese goods,
These were really valuable, and In ad-
dition there were four heads OF cab.
bage. These vegetables were brought
from Hongkong. and were considered
a great delicacy In the Philippines.
The next officer I'm rank received a
less quantity OF goods and three cab.
bages, and so on down the line. a
smaller quantity of goods and two
cahbaRes. and a still smaller quantity
and one cabbage for the lowest In
rank. General Otis gave directions
TO send all the goods back save the
cabbages. He accepted these and
allowed the other officers 20 retain
their cabbages, but they had to send
back the valuable gifts. The head
Chlnaman was much disturbed and
feared that the rejection Of his gifts
might mean disagreeable consequen-
ces for him and his people. He had
never had anything turned back under
the Spanish rule. and had learned that
gifts paved the way for favors. The
way OF the Americans In the Orient
must have been a surprise 10 many
people who have been in the habit of
purchasing fayOrs.
