Shivering Volunteers.
San I'liANCihCo, July 17. An Oregon
volunteer was found on guard duty to-
nislit at tin; ProBidio, wearing four suits
of clothes, witii u piece of a flannel shirt
tied about his neek for u mufller. Ho
had burrowed these things from the boys
in ills company. A year or two ago bu
was a Stanford senior weighing 170
pounds; now he is reduced to 120 and
looks like a shadow.
Scores of men in the Oregon regiment
are passing through this experience,
whilu the war department 1b busy with
the eternal rod tape. Another effort
was made by tho Ued Cross Society and
Genera! Summers toliavotheOregonians
provided with overcoats and blankets.
It iu thought by tomorrow Adjutant Bab

draw these iirtielfs from thu quarter

borrowing from each other, while half
of the boys uru obliged to remain in
their tents or take tho consequences in

Chicago, July 17. A special to tho
Times-Herald from Washington eays:
Important cablegrams have been re
ceived ut the state department from the
J'hilippino commission, and at the war
department from General Oils, concern
ing a new move in the direction of pol
icy. These dispatches' have been in tho
huiidB of the president for several days,
hut he lias declined to wake them public,
hecause the ultra-optimistic views here
tofore received from tho mime source
have not been borne out by subsequent
event, The lateatdisputches, however,
re more encouraging than the previous
ones, but the president wishes to have
some positive results before making them
public.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,

It way be n question whether the
editor of a newspaper lias the right to
publicly recommend any of tho various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used tills medicine in our family lor
twenty years and liayo always found it
reliable. Iu many-eases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe iu depending implicitly on
any medicine tor a cure, out we ao
believe tnat If u bottle of Chamborlulu'e
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much sudor lug might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At

OTIS OR COR
RESPONDENTS GO
WaslimUH Officials are Astonndci at
Yesterday's Revelations.
OTIS IS IN THE
WRONG PLACE
Correspondents' Complaint Will Be In
vestigated at Once and Annoyances
Will Probably Be Abated, j
New York, July 18. The Washington
correspondent of the Herald quotes a
member of the cabinet as follows:
"Either Major-General Otis or the news
paper correspondents must go. To de
port the correspondents would probably
be accepted at home and abroad as a
return to the old Spanish method of
muzzling the press. To relieve Major
General Otis will mean an official ac
knowledgement of his fault and a de
moralization of military discipline."
The nbove statement was made when
the member of the cabinet was ael:ed to
discuss the problem which confronts the
administration as a result of publication
of the newspaper correspondents' "round
robin," protesting against the course of
General Otis in preventing the real facts
regarding the Philippine situation from
becoming known.
Officials Arc Astounded.
The revelations now made about the
censorship astound the leading officials
here. When complaints were recently
made about the way dispatches were be
ing stopped and mangled at Manila, the
war department was satisfied with an ex
planation of General Otis that great lib
erty was being allowed, with only eucIi
restrictions as prevented advance infor
mation of military operations lrom be
coming known to the enemy.
The president has frequently remarked
to visitors who broached the subject that
lie wasanxious to have the fulleBt knowl
edge of Philippine affairs disseminated
and that he was dieposed to have the
uide6t latitude commensurate with mili
tary necessity given to tlie American
correspondents througtout the islands.
When the latest disclosures regarding
petty annoyances correspondents have
met are officially substantiated, as in all
probability they speedily will be, orders
from Washington will undoubtedly
cause their abatement.
It is the impression that the gist, if
not tho entire subject-matter, of tho cor
respondents' complaint will be sent by
cable to General Otis by the war depart
ment, and that he will bo asked for his
version of the specifications they charge.
Should the rejoinder simply deny the
very serious charges in the general ster
eotyped sentences to which such partial
ity has been shown in the past, there is
no doubt that tho general ollicere iu the
Held iu Luzon will be called on directly
for brief reports of the condition of
affairs.
It is a fact that none of them have had
an opportunity to present any statement
regarding them since their accounts of
the opening of hostilities early last Feb
ruary, and that General Otis has per
mitted four months to pass without
sending a single mail report to tho war
department-, prefering to confine hi m soil
to brief and generally indefinite cable
dispatches.

Two summers ago the Crush hat was almost unknown on this

able to meet, while this summer the
