HOILO SURRENDERED

Madrid, December 27.-General Rios,
the Spanish commander in the Visayas
islands, has telegraphed to the govern
ment from Iloilo, capitol of the island
of Panay, under date of December "a,
as follows:
Am preparing to embark on the
steamer Leo XIII for Zamboanga,
island of Mindanao, having yesterday
December 23), formally surrendered
Iloilo, in the presence of the military
and naval commanders, the mayor and
the foreign consuls. Have charged the
German consul with the protection of
Spanish interests. Shall arrive at
Manila by the end of the month";
Though the dispatch is ambiguous,
it is assumed here that the surrender
of IlOilo was to the Americans.

Savannah. Ga, December 27.-Major
General j. Warren keifer and the heal
quarters officers of the First division,
Seventh army corps. departed to-day
on the t. S. transport Panama for Ha-
vana, where General Keifer will estab-
lish headquarters. The trip down the
river and past the wharves OF this port
was splendid one. The day was beau
tiful and hundreds of people lined the
docks to get a last look at General
keifer, who has proven himself pop
ular commander since he has been To-
Gated here. There was a large crowd
at the dock to see the General go
aboard the Panama, and as he stepped
from his carriage there was a cheer. He
went at once on board the ship and
the lines were soon cast off. The Ninth
Illinois band was on the dock. The
Panama was moored alongside the
transport Chester, the latter vessel
being filed with enthusiastic citizens.

and ia greater Or less degree ~ every
department OF the city government.
Under Democratic rule the city depart
ments were run in the interests of the
city and the taxpayers who support
them. Are you eficient?' and not
what are your politics. was the
question asked applicants for place.
How different all that now, under the
rule of the present close little political
combination that has been mismanag-
ing the affairs of this city and county
of late years, is evident from disclos-
ures made by the retiring chief OF the
fire department, an honest man, who,
from the beginning to the end of his
term was constantly badgered and wor-
ried in the matter of hiring and dis
charging firemen by the ring, which in
sisted that politics should take pre-
cedence of fitness, and that unfit men
should be hired because of politics and
fit men discharged for the same reason.
And this regardless of the fact that
upon the efficiency of this department
rests the safety of vast and valuable
property in this city.
Is it not time that the property-own-
ers and the citizens of Wheeling, gen.,
orally, were relieved of the incubus and
serious danger of ring ruler The OPP

relief will be offered the voters next

labor that messenger boys might have

STAY IN PERUVIAN WATERS.


Washington, December 27.-Orders
have been cabled by the Navy Depart
ment to Captain Barker, of the Oregon,
the senior and commanding officer of
the little fleet of battleships and supply
vessels now at Callao, to remain at
that port until January 10 next. 1t ap-
to proceed either to Manila or to Hon
olulu, though it was the purpose of the
Navy Department when they started
from New York to make Manila their
destination. 1t was not possible, how
ever, to order them to that place with
out being guilty of a breach of the
spirit of the agreement between the
United States and Spain, providing for
the suspension of hostilities There
fore it was understood that the ships
were to go to Honolulu, there to receive
orders which would carry them to
Manila. But the orders were actually
sent to Captain Barker by cable at the
ports in South America where he touch
ed leaving it open to the Navy Depart
ment to make any change in the orig
inal plan that might be deemed advis-
able. 1t is robable that the occasion
for such a change has now arrived, for
it is believed that there is not now the
same necessity for the presence of such
powerful ships away from the home
stations. and before January 10th. Cap
tain Barker is likely to be duly notified.

SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Manila, December pa steamer
which has arrived here from Samar,
reports that the Tagals insurgents
have been in possession of Kalbaon
since December 18th. Business there
is said to be entirely suspended, and
all the Spaniards in the vicinity have
sought refuge in the house of man
named Scott, an American. The in
surgents threatened to attack the refu-
gees, but refrained from doing SO be-
cause it was reported that American
soldiers were on their way there. One
Spaniard, however, was shot and an
other was pluckily rescued by Scott,
who rode fifteen miles and demanded
the mans release in the face of an
armed mob of Tagals, who have been
looting the Visayan stores and houses,
the leaders of the insurgents being I'M
able to control them. All the efforts
made to induce the Visayans to join
in the revolution have been fruitless.
The situation, so far as the insur-
gents are concerned here, is serious.
The selection of a new cabinet has
been entrusted to a Filipino named
Madi, a rampant irreconcilable of I'M
known antecedents and bitter oppo-
nent of Aguinaldo, especially on the
question of the Spanish prisoners.
1t is reported that Aguinaldo refused
to release the prisoners, although the
cabinet decided to accede to the re-
quest of General Otis for their re-
lease.
1t is rumored that Aguinaldo has
fled to an inaccessible region back of
Cavite. with few followers. fearing
assassination. This report, however,
is denied, but his sudden change of
base is not explained.
An expedition commanded by Cen
eral Miller has left here for Iloilo,
capital of the island of Panay. The
troops consisted of the Eighteenth in
fantry, the Iowa battalion, the Sixth
artillery and a detachment of the
Signal corps. The troops were shipped
on board the transports Arizona, New
port and Pennsylvania. The steamers
were conveyed by the United States
cruiser Baltimore and by the Callao.
