leased on Dewey's Request.
Washington, Dec. 1O.-The navy de-
partment has received a cablegram
from Admiral Dewey summarizing the
existing conditions at Manila and such
points in the Philippines as have been
visited by his officers. AGvices also
have been received from General Otis.
the conlmandant of the United States
military forces in the islands, and they
both go to show notable improvement
in conditions and the growth of better
spirit among those factions of the ma
tives which promised to give trouble.
This fact Is particularly gratifying, as
the United States government Is al
ready giving consideration to the best
means at hand to redeem the pledge it
will be placed under by the treaty Of
Paris to secure the release of the Span
ish prisoners held by the Philippine ma
tives.
There are about 500 clerical prisoners,
and the government Is confident that
their captors viii deliver them upon
proper representations from General
Otis and Admiral Dewey, made possible
through Consul Wildman. It may be
necessary to call the navy into service
in this matter. for the reason that some
of the prisoners are held in captivity
on other islands than Luzon. which can
be reached best and most effectively by
Admiral Dewey's ships. Besides these
clerical prisoners the Americans them
selves hold nearly It. 900 Spanish SOL
dierS as prisoners, men captured at
the fall of Manila These are actually
on parole about the city, and the ques-
tion is how they are to be returned to
Spain. This must be settled by the
peace commissioners at Paris.
