OTIS REACHES WASHINGTON.
FRBS-IDRST COXGR.ITtLATES HIM
IPOX HIS WORK.
Woald Not Tnlk About His Confer
ence nt the White House, lint Re
iterated the Statement That Or
ganised Revolt in the Philippine*
1* Dead—Say* the Filipinos Are
the Rent of the Asiatic Race*—Gen.
Otis' Health Is Good.
Washington, Juno 11.—dfaj. Gen. E. S.
Otis, accompanied by his aids, Copt. Slay
den and Lieut. Stanley, reached Washing
ton from his home nt Rochester, N. Y„
whfre he stopped over to visit with Mrs.
Otis and hiß children, at 7:45 o’clock thie
morning.
He was met at the station by Adjt. Gen.
Corbin and Gen. Swairn, and the party was
driven directly to tne Arlington Hotel.
After breakfasting Gen. Otis repaired to
the wnr department, where he formally
reported to Mr. Miklejohn, acting Secre
tary. Thence Gen. Corbin escorted him
arfd N his aids to the White House. The
President was in his private office in elo.-e
consultation w-ith Senator Allison, Senator
Cullom and Justice Harlan w hen the party
arrived.
Gen. Otis and Gen. Coibin were immedi
ately ushered into the. President’s library,
where Mr. McKinley met him with the
utmost cordiality, congratulated him upon
his apparent good health and thanked
him several times for “his signal services
t,o the country.”
Gen. Otis made no report to the Presi
dent in detail, although the situation in
the Philippines in a general way was al
most the sole theme touched upon. After
a minutes the President invited Gen.
Otis into his office and presented him to
Senators Allison and Cullom and Justice
Harlan, and for over half an hour Gen.
Otis remained talking over the situation
In the Philippines.
Organised Revolt Is Dent!.
When Gen. Otis left the White House
he was naturally reticent concerning the
subject of his interview with the Presi
dent. But he did not hesitate <o reiter
ate his statement, made repeatedly since
landing at Son Francisco, that the Fili
pinos’ rebellion, as an organised revolt,
was dead. He spoke of the insurgents
who still retained their arms as “robbers”
end “guerillas.”
When his attention was called to the
views of Judge Taft, the president of the
Philippine Commission, in the Manila dis
patches printed this morning, he express
ed the opinion that they were satisfac
tory. He said the United States would
be compelled to maintain in the Philip
pines for a considerable period as large
an army as is there at present.
“The army,” said he, “will be needed as
a measure of repression until the rob
bers and guerillas are stumped out. The
maintenance of this large force is neces
sary, owing to the vast extent of terri
tory which we must cover. We have es
tablished ourselves in Negros, Cebu, Sa
mar and many of the other islands, in
Addition to Luzon, And are to-day actu
ally exercising effective authority over
more territory than Spain ever did.”
Gen. Otis said that practically all the
leaders of the Insurrection were either
dead, raptured or pacified. The recent
rapture of Gen. Pio del Pilar, he thought
had probably been effected with the con
sent cf that general. So far as Agui
naldo hifnself was concerned. Gen. O 'is
slip not inclined to credit the report of
his death. In bis opinion, it mattered lit
tle, however, whether Aguimtklo was dead
eft* alive, as his influence has been com
pletely destroyed.
“Agulnaldo,’’ said he. “is probably in
hiding somewhere in the mountains of
Northern Luzon, but he carries little
more influence than any other individual
at large. He is discredited and is a
drad Issue.”
Tribute to Filipinos.
Gen. Otis spent the afternoon at the
war department in conference with the
head* of the various staff departments in
regard to the condition, and needs of their
departments in the Philippines.
He made one statement in particular
which came ns a distinct surprise, in view
of the fact that he has spent a yenr and
a half in fighting the Filipinos, for her de
clared that these same Filipinos were
without question the very best of nny of
the Asiatic races living on the Paeific
coast and inlands. He paid o high trib
ute to their acquisitiveness, saying that
young and old were alike anxious to learn
from the Americans, and quick to do so
if given nny opportunity. The demand
for schools on the American plan was
ipso liable. I<* had not been possible to
secure a sufficient supply of Spanish-
American text books, the market having
been denuded cf them. When the book
hungry Filipinos were told this, they beg
ged for American school books, and de
clared that their children could learn pom
them even without the Spanish text and
translations. Gen. Otis found to his as
tonishment that such was the case, and
he says that in the course of a very few
months, the Filipino children pick up a
fair knowledge of English. Even the old
natives con the text books in
the effort to fix English phrases in their
minds. There was a dearth of teachers,
too Gen Otis often had to the
soldiers in his ranks who knnv a little
Spanish, and so were suitable for detail
as teichers.
Gen Otis said be lo ked upon this
eduoat’onal movement as the only solu
tion of the Philippine problem, and was
confident that the spread of American
ideas through th-* Filiri-'O schools would
|rt the end make good citizens of the
ril!r>!Tos.
Bave for a swarthy color, the evidence
cf his long sojourn in the tropics. Gen.
Oils. In personal anpearaoce looked
vifv much as h=* did when he was list
In Washington before the Spanish-Ameri
can war. He emnhaticallv contradicted
t>*e s orls that h hnd been i l whle
In Manila, and declared that he was now
in p rfect health, a statement w hich was
borne out by his appearance.
Gen. Otis left at 11:50 o'clock to-night
fofr- West Point to attend the closing ex
ercises of the academy. He will return
here Wednesday night or Thursday morn
ing. Thursday night Gen. Otis leaves for
Ro.heser, where elal>orarte plans for his
home-coming have been made.

GREATER IPHEAVAL TO COME.
I’ronpoets Before Europeans In’ Chi
nn Is Sot Pleasant.
London, June 12.—The Daily Press pub
lishes the following from St. Petersburg:
“Prince Ooohtomsky, editor of the Vie
domosti, and who is a great Chinese ;wu
thority, says the present difficulty is of o
temporary nature, an.l cannot be compared
with the great upheaval that is still to
come. European attempts to divide Chino
will only result, he predicts, in the Chi
nese becoming more united in their hatted
against foreigners. Already they are ex
ceedingly embittered against them. He
considers that the European** are to blame
for taking advantage of the Chinese. For
merly, they were an extremely peaceful
and inoffensive people, but Europeans,
with their militarism, are changing all
this.
The Prince goes on to say:
‘The awakening of <he Chinese will be
terrible. All those warlike instiuments of
destruction, the use of which they are be
ing touglx, w il probab y be turn and against
the Eur.pears themselves. The Cninese
la\e no far cf delath and they make ex
ceilcni solders under European instruc
tors.
“The prospect for Europe and
is not pleasant. One plan> perhaps th 1
best plan, would be to disarm the yellow
r*c:s and to oJice China with European
troops, but the Powers are so jealous of
one another that even this plan is diffi
cult to carry out. Jn case cf a gen ral
revolt Russia h/s rot too many tro ps at
her cisp sal considering that she has not
only to guard a long stretch of railway,
1 u: td protect* her subjects in Manchuria
from b i g murdered She will, there
fore, not bo able t> serd many to Pekin."
The Prit.ce sincerely trusts that Russia
wi 1 never have to tirht the Chinese. He
regards the f resent disturbance as the
worst thing that could have happen'd.
Anglophobes here say that Eng and is
a' the i ottem of the whoe inub e in
China and is endeavoring to divert Eu
ropean attention frem South Africa by
causing a disturbance in the Far East.
AMERICA* MISSION BURNED.
Not * Political lint n Police Question
to Deni With.
Berlin, June 11.—The German foreign
office has received a dispatch from Pekin,
dated Sunday afternoon, saying the
American mission house nt Tung Chow,
the river port of Pekin, has been burned
by natives. The officials of the foreign
office suppose this happened Saturday or
Sunday morning.
The dispatch further says the Interna
tional Club, outside of a gate of Pekin,
has been burned and that the Belgian
secretary of legation was attacked by
Chinese soldiers. The foreign office in
terprets the latter news as confirming the
serious view it has taken of the situation
and expresses fear that the German em
bassy will be next attacked.
An official of the German foreign office
called attention to a remark ascribed to
Col. John Hay, the United States Secre
tary of State, to the effect that the Unit
ed States could not enter into an alliance
with the Powers regarding China, and
added:
“There is no question of an alliance,
which is unnecessary, but only of a po
litical combination for a specific purpose.
There is no political question, but a po
lice question. The case involves the in
terest of no single nation, but of all in
common.”
It was further added at the foreign of
fice that there are now 650 foreign sol
diers In Tien Tsin. Of the 1,500 now on
the way to Pekin, 150 are German. They
will repair the railroad as needed, prob
ably reaching Pekin to-day. One of the
two telegraph wires to Pekin which was
destroyed has been restored.
The German gunboat Tiger has been
ordered to sail for China immediately.
The German Governor of Tsfng Tow
has been ordered to co-operate in quelling
the disturbance.
RAILROADS ARE IN TROUBLE.
Foreign Troop* Compelled Viceroy
to Let Them Pus*.
Tien Tsin. June 10.—Telegraphic commu
nication between here and Pekin was in
ter! upted this morning. A special train
left at 5 o’clock this evening with thirty
British troops to guard Tong Shan. It is
considered that the number will be Inad
equate. If trouble arises in Tong Shana 1
the Northern China railways will be at a
standstill.
Owing to difficulty in securing the vice
roy’s permission for a third special train
to start for Fekin, the foreign tiooi - o -
,-upied the cars, whereupon the Chinese
engine driver ran away with his locomo
tive. The crowd tried to pull up the
t:a k. but the troops cleared th ■ rabble
away at the point of the bayonet and
seized the engine.
On learning* of this the viceroy granted
permission and the train left at 5:15 p. m.
with about 50f men. The force was made
up of 350 German*. 80 British and the rest
French troops. f

SALVADOR NX WPS THE CANAL.
It Would Prove of X a*t Benefit to

Washington, Juno 11. — Ex-President Sal
divar, of Salvador, who recently crime
here as minister of that country. In C;
course of an intervi*w to-day, spoke of
the policy of Salvador toward the Isth
mian canal.
“Our interests in on inter-Oecanic canal
are much the same as those of the United
Statce,” said he. “We want the canal
because it would be of vast benefit to all
Central America, giving work to thous
ands, and ending internal troubles by
keeping everybody busy. But we want
it mainly because Salvador has no ports
on the Atlantic. With a canal opened,
our goods would bo loaded at oar Pacific
pofTs fiTvt thrn. going through die canal,
would have the Atlantic markets before
them.
“We use American machinery, tools
and agricultural implements, preferring
them to all other makes, and are getting
them even now* at bettejjr rates than those
offered by European manufacturing cen
ters. With the canal open, this class of
American good® could be delivered In Sal
vador, and all along the Pacific const of
South and Central America, with far
greater ease, and at better rates than nt
present. As between different routes, we
naturally prefer the one nearest to us,
which is Nicaragua route.”

Section XX a* Visited.
Washington, June 11—The statisticians of
the Department of Agriculture estimates
the total area planted in cotton at 25,558,-
(HX) acres, an increase .of 2,036,000 acres,
or 8.7 per cent, over the productive area
of last year.
He estimates the increase at 7 per cent,
in South Carolina and Alabama. 8 per
cent, in Texas and Georgia, 9 per cent,
in Louisiana and Tennessee, 10 per cent,
in North Carolina, Mississippi and Ar
kansas, 15 per cent, in Indian Territory,
18 per cent, in Oklahoma, 25 per cent, in
Virginia and 27 per cent, in Missouri. In
all these states the increase is more or
less localized, being least where the pro
duction of cotton is the most dense and
grea<est in those regions where cotton
growing has hitherto been less extensive
ly engaged in and where physical condi
tions arc not in all respects the most fav
orable to its production.
In general, the increase has been re
stricted by the scarcity of labor,, the high
price of seed, the enlarged area in fall
sown crops, and, in certain sections, by
exceptionally unfavorable weather condl
t on*. Along the northern border of the
cotton belt land from which wheat has
been harvested is being hurriedly planted
in cotton, but the amount is relatively in
considerable and allowance has been
made for i< in the estimate.
Condition of the Nevr Crop.
The average condition of the growing
crop on June 1, was 82.5, as compared
with 85.7 on June 1 of last year. 89. al the
corresponding date in 1898. and 87.1, the
mean of the June averages of the last ten
years. A condition of 82.5, is, with one ex
ception, the lowest June condition in twen
ty years. The condition in Texas is 71,
this being the lowest June condition in
Texas in twenty-five years, and 16 points
below the ten-year average. South Caro
lina, Alabama and Tennessee are 2 points,
and Mississippi and Florida, 3 points and
1 point, respectively, below their ten-year
overages. On the •other hand, Louisiana
reports 1 point, North Carolina 2 points,
and Georgia and Arkansas 3 points above
their ten-year averages.
A largely increased use of fertilizers is
reported from the older states, and where
ever tho necessary labor is available, and
planters are not too much discouraged,
unusual care is being exercised in culti
vation.
Every important section of the nine
principal states, together with Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, has been visited bv
special agents of the department within
tne last three weeks, and the results of
their investigation!* are embodied in the
present report. This work will be con
tinued throughout the entire growing sea
son. and should nny moiiflcatlon of the
acreage figures be found necessary the
requisite adjustments will be made by the
statistician, and promptly made public.

The committee reported that Paisley
had defrauded the city out of over $52,000
by pudding payrolls. Mr. Bigelow’s at
torneys soy the Council bad not the au
thority to oust him without trial.

sion of Mr. Bigelow’s successor, with po
licemen on guard to prevent possible In

IGN ATII S DONNELLY’S LETTER.
ID* Acceptance of tlc People** Par

Hastings. Neb., June ll.—The following
are extracts from the letter of Ignatius
Donnelly to the committee accepting the
| People’s party nomination for Vice Presi
j dent:
“In our Civil War government paper
money, without bankers, saved the nation;
and its life can be maintained in time of
peace by the greenbacks,
j “It is a crime to compel eighty millions
; of fret 1 people to depend for the first essen
tial of human society upon a few thousand
j bankers, who make the people pay heavily
j for doing for them what the people are
abundantly able to do for themselves. The
bankers' note Is redeemable In greenbacks.
| Why not then destroy 4he banknotes and
j issue the superior paper—the greenbacks.
“A great republic, based on the theory
I of equal rights to all and special privi
! leges to none, and which, by its eonstiiu
| tioti prohibits monarchy and aristocracy,
needs a political party that is.devoted to
liberty and no hing else.
“ 'Of whu< nvQll
Is flag or sail

If freedom fall?'
“Can w’e reach the ends we have in view
through the Democratic party?
“Suppose that the old Whig party. In
stead of decently dying in 1856, when It
had outlived Its function, had lingered
superfluous on the stage, and the people
of 4he United S ates hitd trbd to use it
as an instrumentality to destroy slavery,
ecu Id they possibly have succeeded?
“No; they would have found one-half
of its membership favorable to slavery
and one-half opposed to It; and instead of
reform, we should have had continuous
internecine warfare
“Slavery was destroyed by a party,
every member of which was opposed to
i slavery.
"Plutocracy will never be overthrown
by th** D< ipocratic | or y. with its head in
Wall street and its tail in the Mississippi
j Valley.
I “We mu t bav • a party dreadfully in
earnest aid in w leh There is not a *in
ge plutocrat. If ten horse* are hitche 1
ro the front (fa cart, and ten horses,
( qunl'y strong, are fastrned to the tail
end, will not ti e cart sian 1 s il ?
“Hegr t it ns w may, Plutocracy Is as
i much of a sectional question to-day as
slavery was In 1856. Jt is the battle of
the money-lending region against the

“Give the People’s party power and we

“Abraham Lincoln spoke of keeping the

I cry where the tendency Is toward despot-

tbe published statement indirectly, charg
ing Brigade Surgeon Major Davis wttl
accepting bribes *o influence his actions
n sanitary officer cf Havana. The Gon

extract from his report:
“The Cuban atmosphere as to the public
service, iw one of lies and deception*,
* accusations are many and proof*
! are few*. but seldom can the ac

People will soy almost anything, but will
refuse to sign a. s nterhent or be sworn
to It. Jn particular are some of the news
papers void of verity or virtue. Most of
them serve personal interests and depend
for their income not on their legitimate
sales of issues and advertising, hut upon
receipts from purchased space to avoid
public slander or exposure. It would be
a waste of time to try to hunt down the
swarm of Irresponsible statements per
petually In circulation and eagerly picked
up from the streets and cafes by the em
ployes of a sensational press.”
