A Possibility of tho .Sljporsoclinrj
of General Otis.
PRESIDENT CONSIDERING IT,
The President' Iterant Conference With
the For in or Commander at Manila
Itecalled No VloUllun of Military
Precedent Ii Involved.
Washington, July IP. Tho Presi
dent Is said to be considering tho ad
vlsnblllty of sending Major General
Mctrltt to the Philippines to succeed
General Otis in command there. Tho
strong light thrown upon tho conduct
of tho campaign by tho statement of
tho correspondents, It Is thought, es
tablishes that General Oils has
not comprehended the real situation
In tho Philippines and that tho Pres
ident should send nnoiher otllccr
to conduct tho campaign when tho
rainy season terminates. When Gen
eral Otis was sent to tho Philippines
It was subordlnatn to General Mer
rltt, ono of the three major generals
of tho rcgulnr army, and a most ac
complished soldier nnd skillful gen
eral. .Public exigencies required Mer
rltt to lcavo Manila to attend tho ses
sions of the Paris peace conference,
and thus General O'.ls was put iu
command1.
In addition to Mcrrltt aro Major
General Miles and Major General
Brooke. Those three oftleer.s outrank
Otis and there would bo no violation
of military precedent or usigu if ono
of tho senior officers should bo sent to
relieve General Otis.
It will bo recalled thatGoicral Mcr
rltt was Invited bore n few days ago
ami that he had a conference with tho
President. There aro Intimations
that one of tho objects of this confer-
on co was to con shier the proposition
to send Mcrrltt back to the Philip
pines to command the roluforcod
army.
NOT TOASK OTIS ABOUT IT
The War Department Will IMorliarRo the
"Itounil llnliln."
Wahiinoton, July 10. It was stated
at tho war department to-dny that no
attention whatever would bo paid to
tho "round robin" of tho Manila cor
respondents. The protest was not
sent to General Otis nnd It Is said ho
will not bo called upon tor an expla
nation. In addition to this It wns in
timated that very encouraging news
hud been received from tho Philip
pines and tho situation was much bet
tor than had been generally bollcvcd.
The advices which tho Pr csldon t re
eolved from Manila yesterday, which
havo given so much comfort and en
couragement to tho members of tho
cabinet to whom they were communi
cated, had a bearing rather upon tho
political than tho military situation,
though thero Is natural y n very di
rect connection between tho two at
this tlmo. Tho commission, or at
least so much of it as remains
nt Manila slnco tho departure of
President Bchorman and Admiral
Dewey, has boen unrelaxlng iu the
effort to rcstoro tho confidence of the
natives and nid military operations
by Inducing military defections among
Agulnnldo's followers. Somo prog
ress has boon made; more, it is said,
than tho public Is acquainted with,
for not only havo tho United States
authorities be on able to secure un
qualified adhesion of the nntlvcs of the
more important islands outsido of
Luzon in tho Philippine group, but
even lu that Island they havo stondlly
encroached on what wus rogarded us
purely Insurgent territory and aro ar
ranging for tho establishment of full
civil governments In some of the prov
inces of the Island whoreln Aguinuldo
has heretofore been strongest.
Tho cabinet meeting to-day was
long, and tho mombora, after it ad
journed, wero more reticent than
usual It was ascertained tho decision
was reached to allow tho "round
robin" matter to drop. At nn Informal
conference held at tho White houso
tho subject was thoroughly discussoJ
and such a policy agreed upon. This,
it is stated, was couurmud at to-day's
cabinet meeting, tiflhlally tho mat
ter will bo ignored and General Otis
will bo allowod to treat It as ho may
deem beat.

HVE KILLED IN KENTUCKY,,
Outhronlc of nn (lid Food llrlnin Mimj
Heath
Loniion, Ky July 10 A report lint
reached hero of tho outbreak of an
other feud in Clny county by which
live men lost their lives yesterday,
Tho dend aro said to bo: Uobort Phil
pot, Ed Fisher, Anron Morris,' Jim
Grllllii, Hugh Griniu.
Theso fatalities resulted from a
pitched battle fought near Llttlo
Gooso creek, threo miles from Man
chester. Tho feud dates back nearly two
years. On Christmas, 1S97, James
Phllpot wns killed by Aaron Morris,
but before ho died ho shot and killed
William lluiuly, n friond of Morris.
Tho Morrises und Grilling wero olosoly
nfllllatcd. Slnco then, tho two fac
tions havo been vory blttor, and It
has been aroused recently by tho
Whlto-Hdker hostilities. ' Tho Phil
pots, who nro the strongest faction In
tho mountains, numbering about 7f0
voters, openly espoused tho aauso of
tho linkers, while tho GrlUlns took
sides with tho Whites.
Tho batllo began nt about 0 o'clock
nnd raged Uerooly for ton or tlftoon
minutes. When It wns over It was
found that tho llvo men mentioned
nhovo hud boon killed outright, throe
of tho bolligcroutn were seriously
wounded, whllo Poto Phllpot was the
only ono on cither sldo to o.scomo In
jury. Granville Phllpot Is said to bo
one of tho most seriously wounded.
He Is n Union veteran, having lost, a
leg nt'Stono river. Ho Is an ox-member
of the Kentucky legislature, and
Is said to havo killed threo or four
men. Ed Fisher, who Is reported
dead, wns another man with several
nicks lu his cane. Ho was but 23ycar
old, but was said to havo killed three
men.
Tho story of this batllo catnoil con
sternation hero, notwithstanding tho
fact that serious trouble, has been ox
pooled to break out among tho moun
taineers of Clay county evor slnco tho
nssassluutlon of Tom linker several
weeks ago. An effort was at once bo
gun to secure deputies to go to tho
scat of the trouble and attempt to re
store outet, but up to a late hour
thero had not boon enough respousos
to mako up n foreo that would
command respect. Tho situation at
Manchester is dcplorablo. Slnco
morning, the placo has been In a state
of terror, scarcely anyone daring to
vcuturo out of doors. Business Is
suspended nnd tho residents aro mo
mentarily expecting a renewal of hos
tllltlcs.

and ovldeutly under mlsapprohonslon

"Thoro has been no information re

tho bulletin board in tho hall of this
ofllco; every fair minded representa

this statoincnt. What would tho man
ager of any ono of tho complaining

cerning tho business of tho paper was
inquired for of tho printers rather
than at tho business ofllco of tho pa

"Tho standing Instructions of tha
President and secretary of war aro
