The immediate cause Of death was
pneumonia which developed from an
attack of grip contracted about a week
ago. The venerable senator was con-
fined to his home but seven days. De-
spite his advanced age he attended
to his senatorial duties faithfully, and
regularly went to the Capitol. About
ten days ago the weather here was

ish General Rios surrendered lloilo,
and the uncertainty as TO what mas
followed this surrender. indicates the
possibility of serious complication De
tween the American forces and those
of the insurgents, and leaves the gov
ernment here in doubt. The arrival Of
Colonel Potter at Iloilo after the in
sureents 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 Iloilo on the Gath TO communicate
with the Spanish General Rios. Inc
latter evacuated on the evening OF the
cath. and Potter arrived 80 hours late
The insurgents took possession OF the
city on the 18th, and Potter found

is no cable communication. The Span

say, from Madrid
The evacuation by the Spaniards OF
all the Philippine ports, as reported b|
General Otis. although doubtless IN
spired by a desire to secure their safety
by concentration, undoubtedly 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
1t will now be necessary to expedite
the execution of the original plans, and
it may be fully expected that with
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,
and 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 pop
uIation of 472. 600 and it is the second
seaport of Importance in the Philip
pine group. 1t is located on a river
navigable for vessels of Is 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 Spaniards have chosen 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 viii be able to
maintain themselves for an indefinite
period of time against the insurgents,

Guam to Have Naval Governor.

Washington, Dec. 29.--The Island Of
Guam will probable be different from
other colonial possessions or dependen
cies Of The United States in having a
naval instead of a 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
will be of Importance, for the island
has a population of more than 5000
people, and so far from these being
barbarians about / 400 Of them are Of
European extraction.
