Show DENOUNCE OTIS. Ctah Volunteers Score Commander of th Philippine Forces. San Francisco, Aug. 1. The enlisted men of the Utah batteries, now in San Francisco, are not saying many words in praise of Gen. Otis. "We used to lie out on the firing line and wish Otis would come along, but he never came." said one. "Every j time we got the niggers surrounded : orders would come from Otis to withdraw. with-draw. Why, the Utah batteries captured cap-tured one town seven times. We could have driven the Filipinos into the ocean, but whenever we got them right where we wanted them Otis called us off. "We captured 100 miles of railroad, and today the niggers are in possession posses-sion of 140 miles of. it. Otis lied like a horsethicf when he said the volunteers volun-teers were anxious to stay in Manila. They did not want to stay at all, and Otis knew it. I hope they will send somebody out to take his place right away. No matter who they send, he's bound to be an improvement on Otis." |
