War Department Concludes to Trust His
Judgment as to IloilO.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The admins
tration has determined to confide to the
Judgment and tact of General Otis, in
command of the United States forces in
the Philippines thequestion whether our
troops shall be dispatched to Iloilo,
where recent Spanish reports have
stated that sanguinary conflict is in
progress between the insurgents and
the remaining Spanish troops. Some
days ago General Otis asked the wal
department if any precise instructions
We're to be given in his dealing with the
situation at Iloilo. The matter was
fully canvassed by the president and
Secretary Alger, and as a result the de-
cision was reached to let General Otis,
on the ground, deal with the situation
by the exercise of his own discretion.
The reply was sent to General Otis sew
eral days ago, and it will be for him to
decide whether United States force
shall go to Iloilo and how many men
will constitute the force. .... e.

foundation in these facts: Spain is

sail for Havana this week. The World
correspondent learns officially from the
Spanish navy department that no
squadron has sailed from Spain within
the last few days. The only cruiser
now on the way to Havana Is the Al
mirant Oauendo, sister ship to the
NiZcaya. A fiotilla composed of three
torpedo destroyers, three tropedo boats
and the steamship City of Cadiz. under
command of Captain Niilamil. will
leave Cadiz for Havana this week. as
has been cabled already. The only
Spanish vessels which could follow inn

made frequent references while reply

He started his testimony with de-
scriptien of the manner of examining a
bank. Then he told of the duties of a
receiver, and Of the condition of the
bank in 1896 The attorneys questioned
him as TO the sums due the bank at the
time that the plaintiffs made the note in
question. which was afterwards trans
ferred to the Butte bank. July IS. 1896.
He would be asked if certain party
did not owe the bank upon that date.

New York, Feb. 2S.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says: The Ma
tional, General Weyler's special organ,
scouts the theory of a mine in connec-
tion with the Maine disaster. It says
it has consulted one of the chiefs of
the army most authorized to speak on
the matter, thus thinly Disgusting Gen
eral Weyler, himself, as the speaker.
He says it is absolutely false that Gen.
eraf Weyler took away any documents
or plans necessary to the government
carrying out the campaign His de-
fenses of the ports of the island were
confined to the mounting of many can
non of as large caliber as possible
their positions being a professional
secret.
It is understood that the laying, of
mines and torpedoes was confined to
the interior of the island. No de-
fense whatever is necessary for that.
The problem of defense has been
thoroughly studied and the ports of
Havana. Matanzas. cienfugos and
Santiago have nothing to fear. It
would be difficult for a hostile squad
ron to lie in front of the bay of Ha-
yana, for the batteries there would
stop it.
The article ends: The attack upon
General Lee as having nightly left Ha-
Arangueren or other rebel chiefs is an
edifying sight
The feeling here is very bitter against
General Lee, whose rebel and jingo
statements" are constantly referred to.
