WASmwrON, May 31—The Seoro
tary of War to-day made public the
report of Geueral Otla. Irauimittlug
Hi* report* uf lit* tut ordinate opera
tion* around Manila, up to April 0.
(laneral Oil* begins with this state
ment.
“The military operations ate fairly
well presented In tbe reports and I hare
little to add thereto, but desire panic
ularly to call attention to Uie rite and
development of cnndltlona and clrcutn
ataaeea which retailed Unally it. war.
Till* I deem to la- essential In order to
correct tbe somewhat prevulllua icn
pre**loa that the government of tl.e
United Stale* la responsible through
deceit or wrongful action fur tho prtt
ent exlatiog haetllltte*.”.
To this cud he gives a abort sum
mary of the Phllipplue Insurrection
against Spain, laying strata on the fact
that a small band of Uie natives ol Lo
ud, leaders ol Umi rebellion ut lf#W
against Spain, were Induced for a mon
etary consideration to leave tlie lilatul.
These men leturued to the vicinity of
Manila after the destruction or the
Spanish fleet, three, being, aa General
Otla aaya, “encouraged without author
ity to attempt tha organisation of what
they ware pleased to denominate an In
dependent government for the Philip
pine people.” Independence, General
Oils aaya. was proolaimad by Aguinaldu
In August and aa early as June lie bad
warned the (Jolted Santee autlionllee
against the landing of Its military
forces on Philippine soil without Oral
obtaining hit content, because, at lie
expressed It, “the Philippine people
might ooBBlder the occupation of Pbll
ipplee territory l>y North American
troops a violation of their rialila”
General OUa lays: “When the (lulled
States forces landed from tbelr trsaa
nnits near sod to the sooth of Maotls,
lor the purpose of attaching the city,
tha hot ion that they were acting aa
elUra of the Inaurgeuts and In further
ance of Philippine ludepeudence ap
peals to bate been conveyed by Insur
gent loader*.”
General Oil* describes Aguiuaklo's
effort* to strengthen hla Haas In prepar
ation for Inelliillra with the United
Slates during this lime and explains
lilt growth of Ilia insurgent Independ
ent movement. Describing trlrfly the
liigb tension tbat existed at Urn time.
General Otis includes In explanation of
Ilia course aoma highly Important cor
respondence tbat passed between him
self and Aguinaldo. Early in January
Geoerel Oils was asked by conserva
tive Filipinos to appoint a commute*
of army officers to meet an insurgent
committee by which peace might be
maintained. General Otis refused lo
recognize any insurgent government,
bat was willing to negotiate with
Aguinaldo ora commission appointed
by biffl.
Tbs report set* out In full tbe corre
spondence on this subject which paasod
between Otis aod Aguluaido. The lat
ter named a commission consisting of
three of hi* leeders in confer with Gen
eral Otis with a view to an arnicaU*
understanding, bat expressed surprise
that Oil# would not receive the com
mtsstooere as official representative* of
tbs insurgent government.
fn his reply, General OtU explained
that be,was noting merely aa lb* agent
of Um United tttitea government. Aa
sucb be bad no authorlty to recogolre
tbe FUipiao govern mem and could not
receive, officially, representatives of
tbat government. lie expressed tam
est bops tbat tbe commissioners named
by hUn sod Aguinaldo would be able,
through a conference, to dispel Hie
m launder*.aod Ing which existed He
was under strict orders from the Pres
Ident, be said, lo avoid a conflict If
possible, bat he sd monished Agotnsldo
that tbe American troops were aware
of tbs Filipinos’ efforts to precipitate
hostilities. Ha pointed out that a dail
nits policy with reference lo lbs Phil
ippines would have to be declared by
Congress and for tbs aetioo of Cor*,
grass be hoped Aguluaido would wait.
Gsnevsl OtU says ilia negotiations were
barren of practical result*. Tbe insur
gent members desired absolute inde
pendence, but ware unauthorised to
present any statement they oouid asaln
tala.
la tba Uttar part of Jaoasry tba In
targaoU became aggressive, Interfering
with American troops, and Anally
led Ueoeral Oita to addreaa aontber let
ter to Aguloaldn, calling atlanlloo to
tbe arrest l>y Filipinos of corns Ameri
can aoIdler* and a newspaper cone
apondont and reqnetting an explana
tion. General OUa’ letter added: "I
urn doing everything possible to pre
serve tbe peace and avoid all fi lotion
until the rblltppioc people oan be made
fully acquainted with the sentiments
end Intention* of tbn American govern
moot, when I am confident that they
wlU appreciate tbe endeavor* of Um
Halted State* aod will again look upon
that ooantrv ae their friend and pro
tector. I also fully believe that lb*

To IMS letter Aguinaldn Beat a aar

to have shook Story Grady's arm off,
bat In a few months thev look It all

been fifty years aloe* Boston merchants
ware shipping ram to Africa to buy ne
groes to sail again to slave oouatries.
Long after Mswaihomm set ber slaves

trade, Joseph Story, lbs great Jurist
oharged the grand Jury lu Boston aud

on among us with implacable ferocity.
Avarice has grown more subtle lu ita
evasions of the lew. Its appetite le
quickened rather than suspended. Our
dtlrcos arc eleeped up to their very
mouths in this laiqulty.”
W. W. Story, his gifted soe, says:
"The Boston newspaper* denounced
my rather, and said that a judge who
would deliver such a charge ought to
be burled from the bench." and lie
aaya further, that "tbe fortune* of
many men of prominence were I a ves
ted In this Infamous buslnem. When
slavery disappeared In Hew Ragland
the African slave trade took on new
life, and was winked at- A man
