A Correspondents Mistake

THE same policy was followed by the peace COM
missioners while sitting in Paris. They gave to the
American correspondent the developments of their
negotiations day by day, and at the final sitting
for the settlement of the Philippines paragraph
they sought to help the correspondent, but pecu-
liar nervous condition sent of them wrong. This
correspondent in order that he might lose no time
had prepared two cable messages, one based on the
assumption that the United States commissioners
would demand the archipelago, and the other
the theory that they would demand only coaling sta
ton. He was notified of the decision moment after
it reached, but in his excitement filed the wrong
message. 1t believed for weeks afterward that
the commissioners had misled the correspondent to
feel public opinion, when the exact contrary was
true.
When Secretary Root first came to Washington
Secretary of War he seemed to share the suspicion
of newspaper men that prevails in New York among
attorneys and managers of great enterprises. At
that time General Otis not in favor with the
press correspondents in Manila because of his GEN.
sorship, and damaging stories coming from
Hongkong to the situation in the Philippines
1t generally believed that official dispatches
contradicted these reports, but the Secre-
tary refused to make them public in spite of the
polite protests of the correspondents.
