Washington, Sept. 5 —The asser- tion persisted in that General Otis is to be superseded in authority in the Philippines is thoroughly dis- credited at the War department. A determined effort ia made to have Gernal Otis deprived of authority and the attacks upon him are se- vere, but it is asserted on most re- liable authority that the depart. ment is not dissatisfied with Gener- al Otis, and he is to be continued in command of the Philippines forces. The only change in the policy of the administration in respect to the management of the waris that of increasing the force and prosecut- ing the military operations with a vigor not possible with the small force under General Otis’ command during the campaign closed by the rainy season The assertion that the President has under consideration the propo- Merritt and General Brooke and, possibly, Gen- eral Miles to the Philippines is de- clared to have no further foundation than the fact of this suggestion having been urged upon the Presi- dent by parties dissatisfied with the conduct of the Philippine campaign, and itis denied that the President has apy intention at this time of adopting this suggestion. Certain- ly the President haa not indicated to the War department any disposi- tion to make achange inthe eom- manders of the Philippine forces nor shown in any way disapproval of General Otis asa commanding officer. It is probable that the generale under the command of General Otis will have a wider field of operation than they have had heretofore, but this, it is eaid, will be due to the in- creased force which will enable freer action than bas heretofore been poe- sible. casTORIA.
