TORONTO, Ont, Dec. 29-The Toronto
World, which opposes the present liberal gov

the domination of the whole continent and a
great party in England, prepared to make al

The World then refers to the recent speech

pressed the hope that he would see the day

A DECIDEDLY GRAVE
ASPECT
ALL RESTS WITH GEN. OTIS

Americans May Be Compelled to
Insurgents Outnumber United
States Troops Four to One
Much Is Expected of the Fighting
Eighteenth-EngIis Comment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 = The war
department is expecting definite word
from Gen. Otis within the next twen-
ty-four hours as to what has occurred
at Iloilo. By that time Gen. Otis will
have heard from Gen. Miller, in COM
mand of the American force sent on
this expedition.
The officials about the war depart
ment do not appear to be apprehen
sive over the results, and there is no
evidence of tension or alarm, although
it is recognized that the situation at
Iloilo is one which may bring about
a sharp and possibly a decisive issue
between the insurgents and the United
States forces.
Up to the close of office hours today
1t was said at the war department that
nothing had been received from Gen.
Otis bearing on the military situation.
All that had come was response to
an early dispatch conveying orders,
the reply giving assurance that definite
news could be conveyed within the
next twenty-four hours.
What Gen. Miller will do as to tax
ing possession of the city, either with
force or without, it not officially dis
closed, and, indeed, it is likely that
considerable discretion is lodged with
the commanding officer as to what
steps should be taken. But, in the
event of a clash between the United
States forces and the insurgents, war
department officials say there could be
no doubt as to the outcome, as the
Eighteenth infantry are among the
regulars, having a reputation for their
fighting ability.
The American force numbers about
2,500 as against an estimated force of
some 10000 insurgents, but no doubt
is expressed as to the adequacy Of our
force.

WELLS-FARGO OFFICIALS ADMIT
THE AMOUNT GONE is
100000

Money Was for Southern Pacific
Pay ROll-Delivery Clerk ReeIer
Missing, and Foul Play Suspected.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 29.-The local
Office of the Wells-Fargo Express company is
out money package containing $50, 900.
The money was sent there from Houston for
the Southern Pacific to meet it's pay roll west
from this city to Ell Paso. 1t arrived Wednes-
day morning, and was given to c. A. Beeler,
the Wells-Fargo money delivery clerk, to
hand over. Beeler started for the depot, and
was seen en- route. Four hours after his de-
parture his wagon was found five miles west
of the city in a thicket, the horse almost dead
from the effects of hard driving.
Inquiry developed the effect that no delivery
had been made. There was no evidence of a
struggle in the vicinity where the vehicle
was found.
Beeler had been in the employ of the COM
pany for nine years, and enjoyed the conf
dence of all. He spent several years on the
frontier cowboy. His friends stoutly as
sert that he is the victim of foul play and
his wife also is inclined to this belief.
Supt. Taft of the express company, is
here Investigating. He admits that the loss
will reach the sum stated, while rumors
nearly double the amount.

GEN. LAWTON SELECTED.
VIII Go to Manila to Command
Forces There.

WASHINGTON, Dec 29-The war depart
ment has Issued orders assigning Maj. Gen.
Lawton to services in the Philippines. This
assignment is considered one of especial i'm
portance, as Gen. Lawton, who was one of
the most conspicuous officers in the campaign
about Santiago, will be second in command
to Gen. Otis and in the event of Gen. Osis'
appointment as governor general OF the
Philippines, will assume military command
of the forces in the Philippines. His new
duties will require a combination of nerve
and tact
Gen. Lawton recently has been in command
of the camp at Huntsville. Gen. Frank, as
ranking officer will assume command On the
departure Of Gen. Lawtcn.
The latters selection for duty in the Phfiip-
pines was owing largely to the character OF
his service during the war, and later at
Havana.
