Waiting for News,
WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 29.-The
war department Is expecting definite
word from General Otis within the
next tBenty-four hours, as to what has
occurred at noilo, as by that time Gem
eral Otis will have heard from General
Miller, In command Of the American
force sent on this expedition, The oai-
cIals about the war department do not
appear to be apprehenaive over the re-
suits, and there IS no evidence Of ten
sion or alarm, although It Is recognized
that the situation at Iloilo Is one which
may bring about a sharp and possibly
4 decisive issue between the Insurgents
and the United States forces.
Up to, the close Of office hours to-day,
Il was said at the war department that
nothing had been received from Gem
eral Otis bearing on the military Bltua-
tion. All that Lad come was q response
20 an earlier dispatch conveying or
derS. the reply giving assurance that
the definite news could be conveyed
within the next twenty-four hours.
What Gen. Miller win do as TO taking
possession OF the city. either with force
or without, Is not officially dis
closed. and indeed 1t Is likely that COM
siderable discretion is lodged with the
commanding officer as 70 what steps
should be taken. But IN the event Of
q clash between the United States
forces and the insurgents, war depart
ment OdiciRls say there could be no
doubt as to the outcome, as the Seven
teenth infantTy are among the regulars
having reputation for their fighting
ability. The American forces number
about $500, as against an estimated
force OF some 10000 insurgents, but no
doubt is expressed as to the adequacy
OF our force.

Has Not Reached a Decision.

E. Temple returned Saturday from
his southern trip to Arizona on cattle
business. Speaking of his nomination
for regent of the university on the Broad
ticket and the combination with the
Wolcott Republican ticket, Mr.. Temple
said that his policy had not been out.
lined as yet, but that he would be inhu,
enced entirely by the wishes of the
friends of the university. The position
of regent in Mr.. Temples opinion should
be non-partisan and he states that he re-.
CARDS it from non.partisan standpoint.
He has served in the capacity of regent
and is acquainted with The work and yet
is willing to retire If representative
man can be secured for the position from
Boulder. While not in sympathy direct
ly with the Wolcott party, Mr.. Temple
did not seem to regard it as incompatible
with his principles to remain upon the
ticket should the interests of the univer
slty demand 1t. He paid high tribute to
the alliance candidate, Mr.. Morath. and
seemed to regard the selection as an es-
pecially happy one. Having just re-
turned from out of the state and being
unacquainted with conditions now exist
ing, Mr.. Temple said that he is unable
to state what his final position will be.
