The California Journalist General on His Way to the National Capital. TAU 01 THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION. | The General Doeeu’t Believe 1M« Pilil.inos Are Cuptble of Self* Government—Tbi.e tatted States Will Have to Mulutala a Force In the Islands Indefinitely. Chicago, JulJ^ 1.-—Gen. Harrison Grey Otis, of Los Angeles, Cal., who was with the Eighth army corps at Manila when the insurrection began and who saw nearly a year’s fighting around that city, arrived in Chicago Thursday night en route for Washington. His visit to Washington will mark his muster out of the volunteer service. Philippine Situation Discussed. . Gen. Otis discussed the situation 4h the Philippines at considerable length and took the hopeful view that with the additional troops to be furnished the war would be terminated before the next rainy season sets in. “With 50,000 troops all told—say 30, OQO for fighting columns and 20,000 foi garrison duty,” he said, “Gen. Otis car suppress the revolt, .before the next rainy season, restore peaee, establish Older, protect all well-meaning natives of Luzon in their rights of per son and property and establish ant! maintain a simple, economical, Just and effective government over the islands.” Not Capable of 8elt-Goverum«at. “Do ydu believe the Filipinos are •capable of self-government, or will it be necssary for the United States tc maintain a standing army on the islands for a great length of time?” “In their present state I do not be lieve the Filipinos are capable of selfgovernment. If the restraint and control of this government were with

urawn irom mem now, 1 oeneve iney would be at each others’ throats in e very short time, and make a farce of self-government. The conclusion from this premise, therefore is that it will be necessary for the United States tt maintain a considerable force in the islands for an indefinite period. Such a course will, in my judgment, be unavoidable if we are to hold, protect and properly govern the possessions we wrestled from Spain as legitimate prizes of war in an honorable combat. OblleatlonM of the Hatted States. “This country owes much to itself and it owes the distinct obligation of providing a sound, adequate and just government to the natives of the Phil ippine group. Moreover, it owes something to the world in this regard, for it would be a shame and a reproach to an enlightened nation to conquer an l possess a half-civilized land, add then abandon it without adequate goverrmental protection and internal security.” “Has there’ ever been any question as to the duty of the government .n the Philippines?” Duty of the Government. “I can not see how jthe duty of the government in the Philippines can be fairly questioned by any self-respect-ing American with a proper conceptio of the actual situation. It was not possible to avoid hostilities after the capture of Manila. The most careful, honest and persistent efforts to accomplish that so desirable result were made by Maj.-Gen. Otis and all in his command, in obedience to the orders of the president of the United States.

»he General Situation. “Regarding the general situation in the Philippines let these prime facts be borne in mind: First, with even the small force now available in Luzon, the native army has been defeated in every engagement; second, no serious mistakes have been made by Maj.-Gen. Otis, either military or civil. He has shown himself to be a commander with a strong grasp on the situation. He has ability, experience, skill, integrity and a marvelous capacity for work.” AROUND THE WORLD AWHEEL. ***■•■» to Lynn, Mass., of Arthur F. Cary After a Wheeling: Tour of the World.

CHARLES MURPHY’S BIG A Mile ta Leu that Flfty-Ei m4i oa « Bicycle—A » fxw Escape. N«w York, July 1.—Charles phy, of the Kings county wheelmen, rode a mile on i. bicycle; paced by a locomotive, in 0:57 4-5 yesterday. His course was a two-mile board track on a siding of the Long Island railroad. Murphy followed an engine and atjay coach, the latter being provided, with a hood, which acted as a wind shield ior the rider. >111111' - The board track was laid near Maywrood, L. I., and extended from that station two miles east, and wjj%asnearly perfect to a level as skill could make it. , ' • ’• Started at High Spocrt. Engineer Sam Booth had his band on the throttle of engine 74, when the word was given to start, ten miptites past five. The engine started at a rapid rate and before 400 yards had been traversed, was running a^q|»te~ of more than fifty miles an hour. Murphy was keeping well within thg lpod. As they neared the beginning® the mile stretch the pace was a minute and a cloud of dust obscured the rider from the view of the spectators, who lined»the banks oh .^either tide. . ^ ■ “I’m All Klglit; Send Her Aloajjf^ Entering on the space whic;^^pfuld test his speed, Murphy, in reply to a querrv, shouted: “I’m all right;<send her along.” But there. was no necessity for his remarks regarding speed, as the engineer was sending the .big steam flyer along at top speed^jfhe quarter was reached in 15 seconds and the half in 29 2-5. The timers fqr: the three-quarters were Messrs Biej£b$ and Stoll, the former registering 44 and the latter 43 4-5. At the finish, two‘of the watches showed 57 4-5, one 57 3-3 and 5S and the fifth 57 3-4, which \vaS held by Sheriff Creamer/The timers agreed that Murphy had crovered the distance in 57 4-5 seconds. J Frequently Ran Against the 4 Those 6n the back platform! "'ho watched Murphy through his wonderful ride stated that the rider§fehandle bar had’ knoc ked against the rubber buffet at least six times and each time tie concussion sent him back fplly six feet, but Murphy always bad strength enough to regain this distance. :

I . During the last quarter nf 1 the rider covered the grou i board lied the greater part fully a wheel’s le side of the hood, but as he finish he was close up. Saved From Probable Just then two strong men the train reached down, and : rider by either arm and' lifted? him aboard the car in safety. Their action undoubtedly saved Murphy's life because he was then in such a weak condition that had he been allowed to remain on the wheel he would have been unable to control it and a serious if not fatal, accident might have happened. - „ :- Murphy was carried to the front part of the car and laid on a cot. where a physician administered to Him and in less than five minutes the cyclist was able to converse wit^v those around him. Thought the Planks were Torn Ip. Murphy seemed dazed at first and said in answer to queries as to why he fell back so many times: "I did that so that I might not come in contact with the planks which were being torn up in front of me.” later on, however, he did not refer to this, but said continually: ‘‘boys, I’ve always felt that I could; do this. Now that I have done it I am satisfied and so are many others.” STRIKERS FIRE ON & TRAIN. One Woman Shot Through the Heart: —Bloody Riot* Expected at Loader, 111.
