A special to the Time from Washington says: Coincident with the near approach of Admiral Dewey, the rumors about General Otis' recall have been revived. It is the general report that his recall has actually been decided upon. There has been a rumor lately that General Brooke wa to leave Cuba shortly, and as It Is now said that a major-general is to be sent to the Philippine, there Is some disposition to regard that as General Brooke' future berth. The basi (or all this gossip seems to be the report that Admiral Dewey has a poor opinion of General Otis. This report haa lately been revived and re peated in a number of ways. It Is gen erally believed that the admiral will have much Influence with the adminis tration, and his views on the Philip pine policy will be anxiously sought, A strong Impression prevail that when he gives his opinion it will not be fa vorable to General Otis. There la to be a conference at the Whte House shortly after his return, at which the president will meet the ad miral and the Philippine commission, and what is laid at that conference may result in some alterations in tha military policy in the Philippines.
