I A NEW COMPLICATION
Has Arisen in the Philippines Con-
troversy. L-"-. ).
THE INSURGENTS HOLD 1Lo1Lo.

The American Troops Sent by Con-
oral Otis to Take Possession Arrived
Thirty-nine Hours Too Late. ana
Found Aguinaldo's Flag Flying.
Washington, Dec. 29.-The situation
in the Philippines causes considerable
anxiety in official circles here. Dis
patches from General Otis stating that
it was to the insurgents that the Span
fish General Rios surrendered ltollo,
and the uncertainty a. to what has
followed this surrender, indicates the
possibility of serious complication be-
tween the American forces and those
of the insurgents, and leaves the gov
ernment here In doubt The arrival of
Colonel Potter at Ioilo after the in
surgents had taken possession may
have resulted in conflict between the
American and the insurgent forces. The
most important dispatch from General
Otis was as follows:
''Sent Colonel Potter on fast vessel
to Ioilo on the oath to communicate
with the Spanish General Rios. The
latter evacuated on the evening of the
2ath, and Potter arrived 80 hours late.
The insurgents took possession of the
city on the 26th, and Potter found
Aguinaldos flag flying. Cannot now
report the probable result. Will not
hear from there for four days, as there
is no cable communication. The Span
fish forces have evacuated alt stations
sfn the southern islands except Fam
boanga, Mindanao, by orders, as they
say, from Madrid"
o, The evacuation by the Spaniards Of
all the Philippine ports. as reported by
General Otis, although doubtless in.
spired by desire to secure their safety
by concentration, undoubtedly has done
much to complicate the problem al
ready presented to the war department
Df extending the military jurisdiction of
the United States over the islands
1t will now be necessary to expedite
the execution of the original plans, and
1t may be fully expected that within
a week important events will have
happened in the Philippines. 1t is pre-
sumed that General Otis will demand
the surrender of Iloilo into his hands.
md this demand may at once raise the
Issue between the insurgents and our
own government Of possession of the
Islands.
The province of Iloilo Is set down In
the official directories as having a pop
ulation Of 4,2, 1000, and 1t Is the second
seaport Of importance in the Philip
pine group. 1t Is located on river
nayigable for vessels of 15 feet draught,
so that very few of our gunboats would
be available to assist the troops in case
1t should be necessary to take forcible
possession Of the city
The Spanards have chosen a strong
place for the concentration of their
troops in the town of zamboanga,
which is strongly fortified and possess
ed Of considerable natural strength
from a defensive point of view. 1t is
not doubted that they will be able to
maintain themselves for an indefinite
period of time against the insurgents,
presuming that they are not cut off
from obtaining supplies from the sea.
The town itself has population of 2l,-

Guam to Have Naval Governor.

Washington. Dec. 29.-The Island OF
Guam will probable be different from
other colonial possessions or dependen

naval instead of military governor.
The reason Is that the sole reason for
the selection and requirement Of the
island was to obtain a conveniently
located naval station for our warships,
and that being the case the navy should
have exclusive control. The command
