been so traiued and so disciplined that they aro very possibly the best soldiers at the present moment that cau be fouud any where in the world Gen Otis long experience in the west has made him thoroughly acquainted with every element of thi population Ho knows how to deal with cowboys nud he has had his fill of Indian fight ing His experience with Indians serves him excelent stead in fighting the Filipinos whose methods are in some respects not unlike those of our own ab origines General Otin is undoubtly the most conspicuous figure that the act ivities of the American army in the past year have brought into promise He is a man of untiring energy of ster ling character of thoughtful aud stud ious tastes and of very superier intel lectual endowments The American army may well be proud of him and the country may feel some such confidence in him as it feels in Admiral Dewey His position has not been embarrassed by any nttempt to hamper him with in structions from Washington He-
