brought from the Philippines. however,
until Gen. Otis reports conditions quiet
enough to allow of the force being re-

Many of the volunteer regiments in Ma

acceptance of the American terms by the
Spanish commissioners any further pos
sibility of Il renewal of hostiities with
Spain is at an end, and the only necessity
now for troops is to garrison the islands
