New York, Sept. 28. Admiral

New York, Sept. 28. 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.
