Washington Letter,
A dispatch from Manila quotes Gen
Otis as Baying that he cares nothing
about censoring news of the war, ana
in fact never approved the censorship.
is not denied at the war depart
ment that Gen. Otis made this state
ment, in substance, in a dispatch to the
adjutant general of the army. The
significance of this will not escape at
tention. It means that the censorship
was established by the Washington
authorities, and not by Gen. Otis: that
the republican administration desired
that the news concerning the war
should not be given out, and the Amer
ican people should be kept in ignorance
of the military operations in the new
possessions.
The dispatch from Otis, stating that
the censorship had been abolished was
not given out at the war department,
and its text was not made public. It is
apparent that Otis, to set himself right
with American critics, bluntly stated
the truth. It is not surprising that the
department cut off that portion of his
diipatch which stated that he never
had favored the concealment of facts,
because that Bhifted the responsibility
to the department otlicials and the ad
ministration.
Republican leaders have induced Sen
ator Proctor to announce that Dewey,
who is a native of the Senator's Btate,
Vermont, is not a candidate for the
presidency. At the solicitation of
Washington republicans, Proctor has
written a letter to a small newspaper iu
Vermont, Btating, in effect, that Dewey
is not seeking the presidency. The Ad
miral Bays Proctor, has no desire to en
ter politics. He is making no effort to
secure political honors.
,v This ib not a very emphatic disclaim
er. It has not been at all necessary to
state that Admiral Dewey would not
enter a scramble for the republican
nomination for the presidency. The
question which most disturbed the
t:
f?
McKinley managers has been, whether
or not Dewey would, at the proper
time hereafter, permit it to become
known that he would accept gracefully
the nomination, if tendered him. Sen
ator Proctor's statement leaves that
question unanswered, and in fact, indi
cates that if it comeB about without
seeking, Dewey will not hesitate to ac
cept the presidential nomination. The
McKinley men, therefore, remain in the
same state of disturbance and anxiety
as to the Admiral's ultimate intentions.
The prolongation of the war in the
Philippines, with no encouraging re
port of progress there, together with
the approach of the new congress, is
adding continually to the probabilities
of going outBide of Ohio for presiden
tial material next summer. Reed has
retired from politics, but Dewey, who
desires no more sea duty, is a possibil
ity fraught with unknown dilliculty to
McKinley supporters. With Dewey in
the White house, he would be as antag
onistic to many McKinley mlluenceB as
Bryan would be and that faction of
republican leaders which trains with
Hanna and Elkins, is yet on the anx
ious bench with regard to Dewey's posi
tion hereafter,
