The third point , which relates to expand ing bullets , occupied the major part of the nlttlni ; owing to the ( jucBtlon of the dum dum bullet * used by the Ilrltlnh army.

The new missile , Mr. White said , was outside the specific doflnl- tlonn of 'tho proposal. Captain Crozler , the military member of the United States delegation , proposed as a substltul'o the following : The use of bullets should be prohibited which Inflict unnecessarily cruel wounds , such as explosive bullets , and In general every hind of bullet exceeding the limits necessary to put a man Immediately hors do combat. Cro/lcr Itpnolntloii Ilejct-tcd. A long discussion ensued as to whether a vote should Do taken upon the original proposal 'or that Of Captain Crozlor. The latter was finally chosen to be voted upon. Sir Julian I'auncefote announced that ho -would accept Captain Crozler's proposal , but It was rejected by a vote of seventeen to eight. M. van Karnebeck's version was then adopted , Great Britain and the United States alone voting against It and the Port uguese delegates abstaining from voting. The eight countries voting for Captain Crozler's proposal were the United Statce , Great Britain , Denmark , Greece , Servla , Portugal , China and another. All except the llrst two named supported the Crozler pro posal only In the hopes of securing unanim ity In the conference. Captain Crozler's pro posal being moro general In Its terms , ivhllo It was known that tbo Impossibility of obtaining the adhcwlon of the United States and Great Britain for M. van Knrne- beck's version would render futile any con vention on the subject. The remainder of the report was then adopted. Before the close of the sitting the Ameri can delegates announced that they would withdraw the articles which they proposed should bo added to the Geneva convention , Captain Mahun explaining the reason for the additional articles and why they were withdrawn. The labors of the conference are now completed with the exception of the work before the arbitration committee.

OTIS ANSWERS ROUND ROBIN Si-ore * CorreMpoiulrndi for WI li I ti K l < hciiil Vrrvn tlinl XV'iiulil Ini- perll Oiirrntliiiin. WASH1NOTON , July 21. Thn War depart ment has Issued a statement quoting certain dispatches from General Otis In answer to tho' prcra correspondents' "round robin. " The general says In uubstanco that the correspondents - respondents wish to send statements that would Imperil operations ; that they had no specification to support their charges against him and that these charges were untrue. Ho denies that ho minimized the work of the navy and quotes from naval dispatcher to i justify his statement. | The text of the statement In as follows : General Otis In a dispatch under date of July 20 says that the press correspondents demanded pcrmlsfllon to cable that official ' reports sent misrepresented conditions. > Thin was denied. They then demanded the privilege to send without reservation faclu found by them and their opinion. This was granted if public Interests were not Iraj j 1 periled. The answer was not satisfactory ' and they therefore sent by mall to Hong Kong. General Otis saya he Is not con-1 i sclous of sending misrepresentations , but thinks that his dispatches at times have been too conservative. The press affair ao- peared to be a threat. When correspond ents were asked for Information wherein General Otis' dispatches were misleading they offered nothing tangible except that Ills conclusions were unwarranted. When told that they were disregarding military authority It was apparent that they courted martyrdom which It was unwise to give them. "In a later dispatch General Otis says that' 1 the charges raado by the press correj j spondenls are untrue. He adds that the ! t mc t harmonious relations-exist between the army and the navy. Ho-gives thu follow ing extract from n letter just received from a leading Filipino at Tarlac , which Is the cen ter of the main insurgent army : 'For some days have been trying to leave this band of thieves. Watched so 'closely im possible to leave. A great many people here long for American troops to advance , for every one IP desperate , with so much savagery committed by Agulnaldo's army. ' ' "Captain Barker of the navy , who sue- I ceeded Admiral Dewey In command of the i fleet , in sending the. report of the com- mender of the Yorktown to the Navy depart ment makes this endorsement : " 'I am pleased to note the cordial cooperation eration of army and navy. ' "As bearing upon the statement that the operations of the navy had been minimized , It may be elated that GpneraJ.Qtl ? . has _ re- j pcatedly recognized the work of the navy , ] ] as , for example. In his dispatch of June 15 last , In which he says : " 'The navy aided greatly on shore of bay , landing forces occasionally ; ' and again under date of July 9 : 'The army and1 navy are In hearty accord and the best of feeling pre vails.
