WASHINGTON, May 15.-It is expected
at the war department that Gen. Otis Will
take steps at once to replace the Spanish
garrison at Zamboanga with United
States troops. The indications are that
comparative small force will suffice, pro-
vided that 1t is supported by one or TWO
eunboats. The place is one Of great STRAIT
egic Importance, being the capital of the
island of Mindanac, the second largest In
the Philippine group, and a good seaport.
1t was to this point that the Spanish
forces retreated from Iliolo when that
town was evacuated without notice to the
American forces. The town is easily de-
fensible with a small artillery force me
fact that the insurgents are in possession
of rapid-fire guns makes the situation at
Zamboanga more serious, but 1t is not be-
lieved here that they have large supply
of ammunition necessary to operate the
rnlalrd Pare.
