SPANISH REINFORCEMENTS.

by the Cabinet.

Washington, Oct. s.-Admiral Dew

that he has been advised that a nur-
Der of Spanish troops have arrived ~
Singapore. bound for the Philippines,
to reinforce the Spanish garrison al
Iloilo, on the island Of Panay. AT tins
place is concentrated about all that re-
mains of the few troops on the Island
of Luzon.
In dispatching the troops from SPAN
TO the islands, the Spanish govern
ment has raised the direct question as
to the right TO reinforce troops now
engaged in active hostilities with the
insurgent forces. The weight Of opin-
ION here is that this action Is permisSi-
bile and does not constitute a breach OF
the terms Of the protocol suspending
hostilities. a good deal. however
may depend on whether the Spaniarus
confne themselves TO the defensive.
The cabinet yesterday gave some
consideration TO this subject. which IN
the end is likely to be left to the DIS
nosition Of the peace commission.
