the Spanish garrison is weak and before
the American troops have arrived in
numbers sufficient to enforce order. He
declares that the riot of last night was
provoked by Sanguilly and Larert and
has issued directions this morning for
their arrest. SanguIlly and Lacret were
in the hotel lnglaterra and at the time
this despatch was filed they were still
supposed to be secreued there.

Gen. Otis VIII BE Instructed TO Secure
| the Release of Spanish Prisoners In
Hands of Insurgents--United States
| Control Now Extends Only Over
Territory In Vicinity of Manila.
| Washington, December 12.-The quar-
termaster's department Of the army is
now called upon to face the formidable
task of transporting from the Philippines
all of the Spanish soldiers who constitute
the garrisons of the islands. There are
about Is, 600 Of these according to the best
information possessed by the war depart
ment. All of the government transports
in serviceable condition are required for
the movement of the United States army,
so the war department will be obliged to
invite proposals from tr nsportation COM
panies to carry the men. The Officials
from the secretary down have ben so
thoroughly convinced OF the wisdom of
the policy they pursued in the transporta-
tion of the Santiago prisoners that they
are disposed to repeat the experiment II
suitable terms can be made. In that
!
a government aided line, was awarded
the contract for carrying the troops to
spain. Though this at the time naused
some criticism by friends of American
lines, IL soon became manifest that the
var department had relieved itself Of
an enormous respohsibitit Placing the
SICK ana unhealthy Spanish soldiers in
