Gloomy Views of a Publicist, Who For Eight Months Has Studied the Situation, and Was at First an Annexationist. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright. 1899, by Press Publishing Cowpapr LONDON, June %4.—An American publi- cist of high standing and unique expericne throughout the world, but whose position makes it imposstbie for his name to be dis- closed, has just arrived in out of a pure sense of duty to h!s country: ippines for elght months from I went there willing to give adhesion to the | annexation policy if I could discover its justice and feasibility. L came away with the absolute conviction fhat this Philippine campaign and its inevitable cansequences are the greatest calamity our nation has ever encountered. “The censorship prevents the American | people from learning the truth. It is the most monstrous censorship ever The Spaniards during the war closed down all news dispatches without distinction. At Manila our censorship is conducted by an officer who parades his personal prejudices against certain newspapers, openly favor- ing those whose correspondents frame their dispatches to suit his expressed wishes. News of vital moment to America is daily killed by this officer upon no other grou..1 than ‘We don't want to excite our people. Let them have the official reports; they are best for them.’ “I heard a high officer say to a corre- spondent who had appealed from the cen- aor: ‘If we allowed your dispatch to go through we would be overwhelmed with ca- bles .and I don’t want the bother.’ So our people are systematically kept in the dark and misled. “This rebellion {s our own creation. The F’hilippines were at peace when we went there. We brought Aguina’do and his con- federates back from Kong Koiig, where they had withdrawn in fulfillment of their agreeinent with Spain. We arimmed them with siausers against the Spanish end now we are paying the bitter penalty. Their subjugation can be effected in a few months, but it will take 100,000 men. Few- er men would suffice if our army had any enthusiasm in the work, but they have none, in fact they loathe it. They cun- stantly ask: ‘What are we fighting for? Why should we be killing these Filipinos? Where is the glory the gain?’ No one can satisfactorily answer these questions, but it is sorrowfully recognized that we have gone intoa trap from which release is difficult if not impossible. When the is- lands are subdued we will be confronted with the most hopeless situation in our his- tory. No sane man who knows the F'l'- pinoe can suggest that we give them rights of American citizenship. They are utterly antagonistic to us, moraliy and mentully. They combine all the unspeaka le quul’iies of the Chinese and the Malays, Educa- tion, even if they tolerated it, wouic ini- prove them nothing from our point of view No government is possible there except @ military government, which ate if it does not aggravate the evil qual- ities of the race, accentuated as they are by ages of oppression and bad govern- or ment. “Already the United States is subsidiz- ing the Catholic Church in the Phil.ppines.

All that Otis tcld the President !s not but the Post-Dispatch correspondent is enabled to make this tatement: Otls plainly intimated his inability to con- quer the Filipinos with the present fight- ing strength at his commard. Furthermore, it is said, he gave the impression that he would be forced’ to abandon the greater part of the ground already taken unless re-enforcements were quickly sent. From the very teginning of the Philippine war Otis has been an optimist. He has made official Washington believe he could crush the rebellion with his present strength, and, instead of reaching the true situaiion, he has made his daily dispatches conform to the picture as he saw it through his colcred glasses, Now, however, that Gen.
