ARRIVED TOO LATE.

~ 40
Over Iloilo. 60.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The insurgents
arein possession ofIloilo. Itappearsthat
the American forces had arrived too
late on the scene, and that the insur-
gents had added to the difficulty Of the
problems already presented by hosting
their flag over the city which they have
been besieging for months. The news
was contained in the following message
from General Otis: =
Manila, Dec. 81. Adjutant General,
Washington Colonel Potter on
fast vessel to 3Iloilo on Gath to commune
cate with Spanish general, Rios. The
latter evacuated evening of Gath and
Potter 80 hours late; insurgents took
possession of city on 28th and Potter
found Aguinaldo's flag flying. Cannot
now report probable results: will not
hear from there for four days, as no
sable communication. Spanish forces
nave evacuated all stations in Southern
islands, except Zamboanga, Mindanao,
by orders, as they say, from Madrid"
The evacuation by the Spaniards Of
oil the Philippine ports reported by
General Otis, although doubtless in
spired by desire to secure their safety
by concentration, andoubtly has done
much to complicate the problem al
ready presented to the war department,
of extending the military jurisdiction
Of the United States over the islands.
It will now be necessary to expedite the
execution Of the original plans, and it
may be fully expected that within q
week important events will have hap
pened in the Philippines. It is pre-
sumed that General Otis will demand
the surrender of Iloilo into his hands,
and this demand may at once raise the
issue between the insurgents and our
own government, Of possession Of the
islands.

the other colonial possessions or depens

naval instead Of a military governor.
The reason is that the sole object forthe

this reason the navy should have exclu-
