its way from Manila.
Gable adyices were received here to-
day from Gen. Otis, commanding the
military forces in the Philippines and
Admiral Dewey, commanding the naval
forces there, showing that they are
acting in concert in the matter Gen.
Otis reported that he had dispatched
two regiments. and Admiral Dewey no.
titled the navy department that the
cruiser Baltimore had sailed from Ma
Mia for the same place.
1t is explained that these officers
are acting upon their own discretion
in the matter, and that no official ad-
vices have been received here to indi-
cate that there Is any unusual iawless-
ness in Iloilo. Several days ago 1T was
reported by way of Madrid, that the
Spanish forces in Ioilo had been at
tackled by the insurge nts and had driv-
en- them back with heavy losses, but
this report lacks official confirmation.
The United States expedition is more
in the nature Of a precaution, but will
take active measures for the suppress
sion Of lawlessness If the condition OF
affairs requires it.
Admiral Dewey is anxious for the
arrival of the Buffalo, which is now
near Malta, en- route for Manila, in or
der that he may send home a number
