General Otis Cable‘s the Situ-
ation In the Philippines.
THE INSURGENTS BADLY SHATIERED
“Their Only Hope,” Says Otis, “Is
United States Aid"—The Leaders
Predict Overthrow of Pres-
ent Administration.
VVASHIN‘GTON, June 27.——The war
department has'Imade, public the follow-
ing dispatch from General ~Otis, dated
June 26, in reply to an inquiry by the de-
partment as to th"é;=lsituati021 in the Phil-
ippines: . '*' '
“Rainy season. Little inland campaign-
ing possible in Luzon. \Ve occupy large
portion Tagalog country, lines stretching
from Imus south to San Fernando north,
nearly 60 miles, and eastward into La-
guna province. Insurgent armies Have
suffered great losses and are scattered:
only large force held together about 4,000
in 'Tarlac province and northern Pam-
panga. Their scattered forces in bands
of 50 to 500 in other pOrtions Luzon; in
Cavite azd Batangas provinces could as-
semble possibly 2,000, though demoraliz-
ml from recent defeat; mass of people,
lerrorized by insurgent soldiers, desire
peace and American protection; no longer
ilee on approach of our troops unless forc-
ed by insurgents, but gladly welcome
' them; no recent burning of towns; popu-
lation within our lines becoming dense,
taking up land cultivation extensively;
kept out Manila much as possible, as city
population becoming too great to be cared
for.
:‘Natives southeast Luzon combining to
drive out insurgents; only hope insurgent
leaders is United States aid. They pro-
claim near overthrow present adminis-
tration, to be followed by their independ-
ence and recognition by the United
States. This is the influence which on-
ables them to hold out. Much contention
prevails among them, and no civil gov—
ernment remains. .
“Trade with ports not in our possession
'-f0rmer source insurgent revenue—110W
interdicted; not certain of wisdom of this
policy, as people in those ports are with-
out supply of food and merchants suffer-
ing losses; meditate restoring trade privi-
leges, although insurgents reap benefits.

--.+dirc'czti"on of able Filipinos. Affairs in oth-
,, er islands comparatively quiet, awaiting
results in Luzon. All anxious for trade
- and repeated calls for American troops

“Our troops have worked to the limit of
wendurance. Volunteer organizations have
' been called in; replaced by regulars, who
now occupy salient positions.

Pennsylvania and Utah now taking
transports, and Sixth ipfantry sent to
Negros to relieve Califopnia. These

ness among troops has increasedlately.
due mostly to arduops service and climat-
ic influenc'es. Noth'ng alarming.
“Of the 12 per cent of the command re-
ported sick nearly 6 in general hospital.
of whom 3 per cent have typhoid and 17
malarial fevers. Twenty-live per cent
have intestinal trouble; remaining 55 per
cent have varicus ailments. 1st of which
due to wOund injuries. Many officers
and men who served in Cuba break un«
der recurrence of Cuban fever, and regu-
lar regiments lately received are inade-
qhately officered.” ~
The inadequacy of the number of offi-
cers mentioned in the last part of the
above cable message will be remedied by
the sailing 0f the transports Zealandia
and Sheridgn, carrying a number of offi-
cers for regiments in the Philippines.
“There is nothing for me to add to that
dispatch,” said Adjutant General Cor-
bin. “It shows a very satisfactory ‘con-
dition of affairs—as satisfactory as can
prevail in time of war. It ought to put
an end to all this talk about bad condi-
tions in the Philippines. The straw man
that some people have set up over there
has been knocked down.”

soon ascertained that the damage done
was slight, and as the tug towed the

GREAT BRITAIN’S ARMY.
Grand Review by the Queen of 18,000
{lea at Aldershot. .
LONDON, June 27.—-The queen. the
Duke of Cambridge, the Prince Of W'ales.
the Duke Of York, Grand' Duke Michael
of Russia, the Duke of Connaught, Gener-
al Lord W'olseley, commander in chief of
the army; Colonel Samuel S. Sumner, U.
S. A., military attache of the United
Stat s embassy at London, and many
mines and princesses were present .on
the famous plains of Aldershot yesterday
to witness a review of over 18,000 of the
best troops in the kingdom.
This review is interpreted in London as
a means of satisfying Queen Victoria
that her troops are ready for any emer—
gency they may be called upon t) meet,
in the Transvaal or elsewhere. It is
known now that the queen returned from
Balmoral castle, Scotland, mostly for the
purpose of attending this review, and, in
view of the fact of her majesty’s natu-
ral reluctance to attend such functions,
the importance of this review is mani-
fest.

OCEAN DRIFT.
Like Smaller Bodies of W’nter It Is
Uncertain and Moves Here '
and There:
Siberian rivers wash down the tim-
ber which floods have uprooted from
their banks. CSrried out into the At-
lantic ocean, this timber is drifted
southward along the east coast of
Greenland. As it. approaches Cape
Farewell it is caught why a branch of
the Gulf’st-ream flowing northwest and
stranded. on the west coast of that
ices-bound region. t is treasure trove
to wishing 32! his .2338.- gnlr good
to be found in his .treelessland; Thus
the Eskimo sends no fleet of steamers
to fetch his timber from afar; the
ocean lands it onhtis shoresand charges
him no freight. By a united system of.
river and ocean currents he obtains
the growth of temperate lauds. And:
the ocean does yet. more for the Green-
la'nder. The seal is to the Greenland-
er what the reindeeristo the Laplander
or the palm tree to the inhabitants of
the tropics. And: it is on. the drifting
ice does that. the seal comes to his
shores and "supplies him with most of
the necessaries of life. So also the
kindly ocean lends a. rich load of drift—
wood on the bleak shores of Nova.
Zembla, say-s Gentleman’s Magazine.
In certain parts of Spitzbergen,
again, the beach is covered with envo-r~
.mous masses of drift-wood. Searching
among these, one of the explorers in
wl‘lordenskiold’s party found 8. Well-
preserved seed of a West Indian plant
(En-tada gigalobium). Seams of coal-
and impressions of leaves have also
been found. in the same locality. In the
far future these masses of drift-wood
may also become coal.
Post-Morten: on Fowls.
Sometimes a post-mortem examina-
tion is the only thing! that will reveal
the cause of sickness and. death in the
flock, and, though unpleasant, it may
‘be necessary in order to prevent the
spread of disease, says the American
Gardening. Whatever the family,
there is almost always one person in it
who knows new to dissect a- fowl. If
no one else has the requisite knowledge,
the 'cook can always be appealed to,
either for the work itself or nor instruc-
