Washington, Oct. 19.-Gen. Otis is
giving attention to the complaints that
have reached him to the effect that the
Philippine insurgents are ill-treating
and killing such of the friars as fall
into their hands. There is difficulty

in possession of the places where the
outrages are committed, but they are
under instructions to use their good
offices with the insurgents to prevent
the commission of these outrages.
