Gen. Otis refuses to recognize our government, unless tie is afraid that the other foreign powers will {4 then recognize us. t Gen. Alejaadioo impressed the Associated Press correspondent as "dignified, dispassionate and a keen man of the world." He was ^ educated in Europe, and "designed the remarkable entrenchments from Manila to Tarlac." fT* Even if judged by his reported words only, this Filipino officer amply justifies the opinion of the correspondent Simply and in a few calm words he has made an analysis of the situatian which could hardly he improved upon by anybody. This man know? his ca?e ; he known the strength ?nd weaknet-s of the Filipino position ; and if ? hp there is no reason to doubt?the men he represents understand the issae and the eon di'ions ns he dne?, it will be the sheerest, folly to attempt either to terrorize or to delude them into that "unconditional surren der" which has been prescribed bv McKinley and demanded hv Otis.
