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, Sik $ •, 3 *0+ +0+0 *0*0¥0¥0*0*0*0*0*0*^*Ci OUNTY CORRES PONDENCE.
